My Biggest Wish - GBA Playcalling

My biggest wish is that the Gamcube version allow playcalling to be done by your GBA. This is similar to the Sega Dreamcast approach for the 2kx series (VMU play calling). It totally rocks and it most realistic. Maybe even allow playbook creation to be done by your GBA. I still play the old Dreamcast 2k games just for VMU play calling. Im sure this would also rock on a PSP when they are available. You just havent played a football game until you've played one with VMU playcalling.

gba?

What I mean is calling plays on your Game Boy Advance via the link cable to the Gamecube. This way, you don't need to pick plays from your TV screen so your opponent can't make guesses. Your oppenent could only guess at the time of the play by seeing your formations, etc. Sorry for the confusion!

how does that work... Never played Madden on anything other than PC or PS2

Well, it would mostly be like the Dreamcast Visual Concepts 2kx series games. What would happen is both players call plays on their Game Boy Advance, maybe have custom playbooks stored on there, with a small screen layout of the plays. They cannot see what the other person is choosing at all. Then when your play begins you use your regular Gamecube controller (where you could audible, etc). This makes your playcalling much more secretive than allowing your opponents to see it on screen. The current scheme allows you to fake out the playcalling, but the other person sees the selections you looked at. Its like watching a coach look at his playbook to see what he is eyeing up. If you play the Dreamcast 2k series with a VMU you would be able to do this. I think this would be a great addition to Madden, especially with the GBA and Sony's PSP coming soon. Honestly, this is the coolest and most innovative thing I've seen on a football game in years. Too bad the Dreamcast is dead!
