if its a rainy muddy game i want to see mud on the jersey on there body. and come people this ps3 let me see some blood maybe on the arm on the face cuts, bruises anything.
I'd really love to see a few things change/be added
1. I'd love to see more coach options/control, something to make my coach feel important to me, and to make my team feel like its more than just players.. Perhaps a way to have coaches inspire thier team for an overall performance boost or be able to identify mistakes during a lockerroom halftime talk IE tell you team "we need to focus on not dropping passes, we need to get to their quarterback, we need to cutdown on our facemask penalities"
:P
2. facemask penalty- really this is just a complaint about things everyones complained about for years and never seems to get fixed... too many face mask penalties, too much CPU "cheating" seems if its 4th and 25 they'll land a 26 yard pass everytime.. i've yet to hold the cpu to negative yardage and the virtually worthless dts...
3. more in depth owner/franchise mode and overall game realism.... I'd like to feel my coaches really make a difference, I'd like to have attitude of players effect the attitude of their teamates, I'd like to be able to do something effective with the money my franchise makes... etc
I really dont want to go as far as to have to go to my players house and feed their dog, but something like a death in the family keeping a player from playing would be interesting, but i know things like that would be overused or done too cheesily
4. they may have fixed this one, i havent checked on 06 yet and i never played 05, but i really wish in a season, if i play 4min quarters with an fast clock, i'd like the other teams to play that way too...
so im not always low on the stats with none of my offense going to the probowl even though i've finished the season undefeated....
This is a good idea,i think madden 07 should have diffrent types of equipments.
-Back plates
-rock tops
-hood for winter
-not only long sleeve undergear but also short sleeves
-diffrent colors of cleats
-All color eyeshields
they should've done that in 2005

Having secured the rights to all things NFL related - I'm not sure when EA Sports will look to introduce some of the many crowd songs that we've all come to know and love (or hate) which I think would add a HUGE amount of atmosphere to the game. For Instance: The "G0 PACK! GO.. Song".
I suggest custom in game crowd music - because I would like to add some of my favourite MP3's to the crowd music in game that I have often heard in real games:
Gary Glitter's Rock and Roll part 2
Guns and Roses Welcome to the Jungle at Kick Off
Baha Men - Who let the dogs out.
etc.
Last but not least - I would like to hear and watch the National Anthem before the Superbowl game
1. LBers should not be able to intercept a pass meant for someone 20-30 yards down the field behind them, no one can jump that high, that's very irratating!!
2. QB Vision is imposible when playing against a team with a good pass rush, or any at all, make it where the analog stick that controls it when tapped goes to the next reciever in the progression instead of it being free motion, it's a good idea but almost imposible. Also make it where as your awareness increases the QB Vision tunel turns red or blinks when the QB "feels the rush" so a person can know when to run without getting too caughtup in trying to aim the cone at a reciever that they get sacked 2 million times.
3. DB should have to be looking at the ball to intercept it.
4. Take off whatever makes recievers get open the second a QB (like Vick and I'm a Falcon fan so no hate) scrambles a little bit, it's like everyone stops covering.
5. After a while every QB coming into the draft in franchise mode is a scrambler with bad accuracy, don't do that, every QB that's drafted isn't a bust, I can't ever get one that is not horrible in their first year and somehow all of there awareness and accuracy seems to get worst as the years pass.
6. Add a draft Combine where we can do the mini games with the prospects so we have more of an idea of what we're getting in the draft.
7. Make managing the cap easier, once you get behind there's no hope for you.
8. make the jerseys you can customize and create more versitale, there's only so many combinations right now.
1. this has been bugging me since i started to play madden. On goal line stans, your line needs to make a pile and have the running back jump over it to the endzone. This happens in almost every game. I really think it should be added as a playmaker feature!
I think that all of these ideas are great and everything, but why do you want to slow the game down with pointless measurements and all of the training stuff. I dont know about everyone else but i like to play the game not do a bunch of training and watch boring measurements. The game is all that matters so that should be improved ( punt return etc. ) but screw all the extra animation stuff.
Those are some great ideas. But there are some things i would really like to see.
WISHLIST
1)Online leagues that follow along with the same schedule as the nfl. Then you can have scheduled games online.
2) Some type of RB vision. I love running the ball, they should make this a little more flashy, a little more interesting.
3) better fade pass's on corner end zone routes. The fade is one of the best options a qb has in the redzone, EA should make the fade a lot better and let the taller players take advantage with there leaping ability.
4) better hits, i'm sick of seeing the same tackles year after year.
5) Skills challenge for dynasty mode, just like the pros do, right before the pro bowl.
6)FIX THE DISCONNECT PROBLEM. i don't know how many times i was going for a game winning field goal online at the last second and the idiot i was playing, knowing he/she was going to lose pulled his/her ethernet cord out , then the game just stops and screws your kick up. EA should make a delay to this, make it let you know the other player disconnect at the end of the play, not the Moment it happens.
7) better leaping ability in the over the goalline, i saw that someone put this and i definitly agree.
8) one handed catchs * only for veteran players of the right caliber, like randy moss. Ive seen wr's make some one handers, pretty amazing.
9) the bullet pass. some quarter backs can quite simply throw the ball alot harder then others. i.e micheal vick and donovan mcnab. Give these players increased velocity over other q.bs, ive noticed all the qbs throw the same speed.
10) improve throwing on the run, make it so the quarterback can throw and continue in a forward motion, rather then stoping when its time to throw.
Madden has recently beefed up the defense and the passing game. Now its time to beef up the running game. I want to see rbs psuhing the pile as they go up the gut and i want to see them be able to cut up field when running a toss or stretch play.
Another thing is the level of difficulty. When i play on all-pro i dominate the running game, but not the passing game. I want to be able to adjust the difficulty on some aspects of the game. For example, i want to put my run d on all-madden and put keep my pass d on all-pro as well as my run game on all-madden and my pass game on all-pro. This way i can make the game even.
1. I would like '07 to have a "greatest games" list of the top 10 games you have played with a total greatness score (as determined by the game). NCAA Football has done this for the last few editions with good sucess.
2. Doesn't it iritate you when you don't need the highest ranked player avalible in the nfl draft and the fans boo and you get a poor draft grade. If you have an nfl icon or all-pro player at QB or HB then you don't need to draft a player in that position. I dislike it when the fans boo you for drafting for need.
3. too many bad catches and interceptions that bounch off the player's shoulder, then hit the players arm, before being caught right before hitting the ground.
4. Also when you challenge you should have the option of chosing exactly what you want to challenge
5. They should consider re-allingment if a many teams relocate. It doesn't make sense for an NFC north team to play in LA or the tennesse titans moving to Honlulu. If these minor things happen, maybe they could alter the starting times.
6. Make the LB Chase and Tackle drill harder.
Ok, here are some suggestions that I think will make madden 2007 even better than madden 2006.
1). All-madden is to easy, make a harder level of play or make all-madden harder. I dominate and it gets old after a while.
2). Make rookie contracts more realistic. I mean if I draft somebody in the late first round, I don't want to give them a $30million contract. Make it more realistic, late first rounders don't get paid that much money in real life.
3). In free-agents, how about there is something that allows you to tell the player why you are signing them(ex:starter, backup, mentor, potential).
4). If you sign/draft a young quarterback, have something that allows you to have them sit and learn without their stats going down.Let their stats go up over time (esecially awarness), let this turn the qb into a good player. Allow time to develop a franchise qb. Let this take place in superstar mode also. Let this take place at every postion, some taking longer than others (ex:qb takes longer than hb).
5). In superstar mode, don't let us control the depth chart, not very realistic if the player chooses who starts.
6). Add more players into the import draft class.
7). In superstar mode, allow NCAA imports to go in the first round. My guy won the heismenn three years in a row, went in the third round. Third round my *#$.
8). After the game, have video highlights of other teams games.
9). The commentary during the game needs to improve. If madden/micheals start to talk about a certain player, talk about the college he played at, round he was drafted in, etc.
10). Practice squads. We need them because it allows you to have a few extra players that know the playbook and allows you to not have to sign players in free-agents.
11). Be able to sign players from the arena league, NFLE, CFL.
12). Be able to scout players in college during the season.
13). If you create a team, let it be an expansion team, not take the place of an existing team. Also, allow expansion teams, let one come into the leage every certain number of years and allow you the option of being that team.
14). Be able to create a coach in the offseason after year one of your franchise so you can sign him to coach your team.
15). During superstar mode, if you are an important part of your team , have managment ask your opinion on players ex:should they be resigned.
16). Have the ability to make you own gameplan during franchise mode.
17). Be able to increase speed a little bit on players.
18). On contracts, make them more realistic. Besides the bonuses, there is no guarenteed money. Make it so you have three goals for the player, for each goal the player achieves, he gets more money, if he achieves all the goals, he gets all the money the contracts offers.
19). Ad the attributes work ethic and leadership as the attributes of the players.When scouting rookies, have potential be something that is seen. Also had the personality types of each of the players.
20). Have fighting, ejections, fines, and call late hits.
21). Have off the field issues for players which affect how the player plays in the game or if they even play at all.
22). More and better celebrations.
23). When looking at players attributes, let it show their 40 time, bench press, squat, shuttle time, vertical, personality type, potential.
23). Have a hall of fame. Later in the franchise mode, let some current NFL players go into the hall of fame, or players that you drafted. ex: Brett Farve.
24). Let each postion have its own unique attribute. Also had composure as an attribute.
25). When creating a player, don't let them be 18, let them be 21 or older.
26). Be able to cinvince players to not retire.
27). Be able to sign a player to contracts longr than 7 years, maybe 10 years.
28). Have contract extensions.
29). Don't let players retire as early has they usually do(though it's better than 05 and before that). Let a player play as long as jerry rice did, or vinny testeverde did.
30). Be able to change any player to any position ex: kicker to qb, or qb to ol, or wr to qb.
This is all I have to say for know, I'll have more comments later.
1) I like the idea about the eyetoy so that created players can look like you. I really hope that comes true.
2) I really wish that there could be practice squads like in the NFL, it would be much more realistic.
3). Expansion teams, madden needs them like i Madden 2002, or make it so created teams don't replace a team already in the NFL.
4). This idea is a new thing, I think there should be a development system for young players on your roster. Have it so you can assign up to three players to sit for a few years(1-3 years) and that makes them better. So if you draft a QB that is like 74 overall, it could improve them into a team leader, you know a franchise player.(Improve their rating by 10 points). The points wouldn't just be given to your player, you would have to work with them with drills like the drills in training camp(precision passing, etc.). If you do good in the drills, the player would improve. After a certain number of years and you do good in the drills, the player rating go's up. If you don't do good in the driils, the player stays the same and is a bust. You should be able to do this with 1st rounders also ex:vince young in Madden 2007 to improve his passing. You could choose any three players to develop, not just a QB.
5). Last thiing, there should be a leadership attribute added.
That's all for now, check out my forum (changes for madden)
--------------- Madden 2007 Next Gen football ---------
Ignore the forum I just posted, its not a forum. I posted something up yesterday called changes to madden, I just can't find it, it had about 30 ideas for Madden 2007.
1). I have another idea, more realistic rookie contracts. Rookies in the mid to late first round don't get $30million contracts, its more like a 5 year $8 million contract.
2). Make the gameplay harder. On all-madden, I pretty much win all the time, and it gets old after a while. I run for a 100 yds and pass for 350 plus, and win by 30 points sometimes. Just make all-madden harder or make a darder level of play for players like me.
Thats all for now.

Reason: Automerged Doublepost
I think a good idea would be to add different moves for the dline like dwight freeny does. maybe combo moves like double spin or spin to rip but keep it simple so it is easy. Also if a player on the dline is good give him more moves he can do. So a 95 player can do more stuff than a 70. Another idea is a jaked up segment or a weekly show like they did in ESPN 2k5 review all the games and add the 5 best hits.
Go back to the way Madden was on thr regualr Xbox. The game was so popular for all of it's features and easy gameplay, the controls were damn near perfect and did not need to b changed. 360 must have all the same gameplay, include all of the details in franchise mode (ie. fantasy draft) and should even add some, like the hall of fame etc. The major difference betweek 360 and regular xbox should be graphics and speed, the game itself is near perfect. Obviously remove some of the glitches, like precision passing high balls and cheap PI calls. But dont remove the essentials like they did in year 1.
a. No PI when the ball is horribly overthrown and/or uncatchable (maybe a few flags for the somewhat close ones but then they usually have to pick up the flag and call a no foul)
b. Add the pushing off for offensive PI.
c. Add the possibility of multiple fouls on both teams or on one team (a defense being called for offsides and then called for a personal foul).
d. Maybe add ejection for recklessly roughing the passer or kicker on purpose
e. No PI for perfectly (or close to perfect) timed hits on the receiver. Give the ref's human eyes, not A.I. eyes. They have to miss a few and possibly get the ah's and boos for no Def P.I.
f. Have the head referee call the foul, declare either "offense/defense" and the number or the number and then "offense/defense", announce the penalty of yardage and/or down (5, 10, 15 yards, at spot of foul, half distance to goal, loss of down), declare if its an automatic first down (PI, 15-yd face mask, roughing passer/kicker, def holding, illegal contact, etc.), say when penalties of both teams offset, announce the player ejected/disqualified (if it ever happens), and in situations of a foul prior to the punt (not the snap) declare whether the receiving team wants the penalty yardarge added to their punt return or enforced on a replayed 4th down.
g. When a challenge is won by the team that was initially penalized, the other team must be given the option again to either accept or decline the penalty such as when an offense is called for holding, a fumble from the first down marker is recovered by the D, and a challenge overturns the fumble. That way the defense can still enforce the 10 yards against them. If the challenge was lost though, there would be no need to go back to accepting or declining the penalty.
2. If the 360 version of Madden 07 has the Hall of Fame feature like the XBOX's Madden 06, give the player the option to either be drafted either in this season, next season or the following season after. Plus if he's drafted by the Vikings, he may not be playing in the Metrodome because the franchise is vying for a new field (maybe off-season franchise mode and Hall of Fame mode at once?)
3. Challenges
a. On a challege of a QB's fumble prior to the pass, always have the ref make sure that the arm isn't going forward when the ball comes loose. Don't have them take away an obvious fumble and call it incomplete (if they do the announcer must say it was a bad overturn).
b. Be able to challenge an Illegal forward pass, or other parts of the play that is questionable except the force-out ruling.
4. Add the force out judgment call (sidelines/endzone). Even then ensure the receiver maintains control of the ball when landing on the ground.
5. Injuries
a. Kickers and punters are extremely vulnerable. They don't take hits but when they do, they have to be hurt.
b. If a player is injured there has to be either some signs or sounds of agony, or with a concussion a player is motionless and has to be carted out (they may regain consciousness and give a thumbs up to the relief of the home crowd or may not).
c. Sometimes referees, ballboys, coaches, cameramen, event staff members, even the chain gang might get too close for comfort. They may not have to be injured, but it'd be an interesting addition.
d. Also there could be multiple injuries on the same play.
e. Weather can play a factor in injuries like the cold chill causing muscle pulls. Rain could degrade the field to a knee-blowing nightmare or whichever.
f. Defender's big hits have to take a heavy toll on receivers if they keep playing the clay-pidgeon role throughout the game, half, or quarter. The same could be said for QB's.
6. Announcers (play-by-play & color commentary)
I've heard the broadcaster on the XBOX 360's Madden 06 and its a great improvement over that of its recent predecessors including the XBOX version of Madden 06. However, it would be awesome if all 32 NFL team radio announcers could be integrated. If it can't be done on one disc, then perhaps put it on four discs for 8 NFL team radio broadcast teams and perhaps include a few generic radio broadcast teams for expansion teams.
7. (Suggestion and probably a bogus one) Be able to construct a new stadium for a team without going to Franchise mode.
8. If a team is very successful (like winning a couple of Super Bowls or something) and the highly paid players really want to stay and help the team, they could willingly take a pay cut so the franchise dont have to release the best players and sign new draft picks and can be more dominant. To some players, the glory of the game is worth more than money earned.
9. Let's see some headgear fly! More vicious hits! A little whiplash by the QB, RB, or WR from a blindside hit! From these hits fumbles or up-for-grab passes can happen! That's football!
10. More realistic roster limits.
11. More chances of blocking punts, FG's or extra point tries. You can be surprised that there are more kicks being blocked these days.
1.) Being able to jump over the line at GOAL LINE.
2.) Holding up the jersey when drafted. (only for user-controlled teams)
3.) Adding real life shoes like Michael Vick's kleets, and the S.Carter kleets etc.(like NBA live)
4.) Creating a coach.
5.) At the starting of each show your top players stats, like NCAA.
6.) DBs have to look back at the ball to get INT's
7.) Better equipment for a created player
8.) Being able to put as many stuff as you want for created players like a glove and a wristband at the same time. In case in a game you want to wear the glove instead of a wristband.
9.) More colors for a visor. (blue, green, yellow etc.)
10.) Players look like they're really injured. And carts come out to handle very serious injuries.
11.) Players have real-life voices.
12.) Reputation. If they've done something bad their morale goes down. And fan attendance goes down.
13.) NFL Legends. Like Dan Marino, John Elway, Jim Brown, Walter Payton, Jerry Rice, Emmitt Smitt, Boomer Esiason, etc.
14.) weight lifting rooms, and excercise. (LIMITED DURING A FRANCHISE)
15.) voice messages from players, coaches etc.
16.) real-life player actions (like Peyton Manning's leg stance, and Ricky Williams head bobbing up and down, and more real-life player celebrations)
some of these ideas have already been mentioned but i liked them so much that i will say them again.
1)career records not just single season records and have a list of the top 10 or so in all the catergories
2)add a hall of fame so we can see some players inducted
3)allow rb's to jump over the pile based on their jumping ability
4)on field altercations or fights in high intensity games
5)louder fans especially in the playoffs with the super bowl having the loudest fans
6)have players that are really hurt be carted off or helped off
7)add some spectacular catches as well as new hits, maybe let some nfl players come in to do the catches and hits
8)bring back old players to become coaches (dan marino, troy aikman, tony dorsett, barry sanders etc.). and also have coaches come out of nowhere every now and then to keep it interesting
9)Make the playoffs more exciting(especially the super bowl). u could use announcing that is exclusively used for the playoffs or super bowl so we dont hear the same things over and over. have intrances with great lighting and fireworks and smoke for your superstar players. and maybe have fans throw things on the field every blue moon when they get mad
10)Make the CPU draft smarter. they waste first round picks on a qb every year.
11)Maybe add it to where we have to hire special draft consultants to bring us reports and based on their abilities depends on how well they can find talent
12)Be able to switch the positions of players like in ncaa, i would like to change cb's to wr's and mlb's to d-lineman, or rb's to wr's lol
13)Be able to listen to music while u play instead of the commentating and sound effects
14)Make the coaches actually have an impact on the team based on their abilities and experience
15)give us the ability to trade future draft picks
16)Have the running backs push the pile if their abilites are willing and also let them have help when needed such as reggie bush did to leinart
17)let us have 75 players and make cuts every week to wittle down to our 55 man roster like in real life
18)Maybe we could even be able to hire general managers and stuff like that, i love madden and my favorite part of the franchise mode is the offseason so i would like to see some major improvements on the offseason mode and make the playoffs noticeably better than the regular season games
Some of these ideas have already been said but i liked them so i will repeat them. But here are some things i would like to see in madden 07.
1)Career records with the top 10 of all time instead of just single season records
2)add a hall of fame so we can see if our players get inducted or not
3)give rb's the ablitily if they have it to jump over the pile
4)have on field altercations in high intensity games
5)Louder fans especially in the playoffs with the loudest fans ever in the super bowl
6)make the players who are injured in the game be taken off the field differently depending upon the seriousness of the injury
7)Add some spectacular catches and new hits(maybe have real nfl players come in to do these)
8)Bring back old players to become coaches such as dan marino, tony dorsett, aikman, barry sanders , etc. Also have a few unknowns come in as coaches every year or so to keep it exciting
9)Make the playoffs(especially the super bowl) more exciting. Have the teams fight or make the some commentating that is exclusively used for the playoffs so we dont hear the same thing over and over.Maybe every blue moon have fans throw things on the field to show their dissaproval. Have intrances with great lighting and fireworks and smoke for your team and individual entrances for your superstars.
10)Make the CPU draft smarter. It usually wastes first round picks year after year on qb's.
11)Maybe we could hire a team of draft consultants to do our scouting for us and their abilities will affect their consistency of finding talent.
12)I would also like to be able to change a player's position like in ncaa rather than just it being limited to olb's playing de's etc.
13)Allow us the option of listening to our music while playing rather than the commentating and sound effects.
14)Make the coaches actually have an impact on the team based on their abilities and experience
15)Give us the ability to trade future draft picks
16)Have the running backs (if they have the ability) to push the pile or have teammates help them push like reggie bush did to leinart vs. notre dame
17)Allow us to start out with 75 players making weekly cuts to get to our 55 man roster.
I love madden and play all the time. My favorite part of the franchise mode is the offseason so i would like to see upgrades here and i would like to see more excitement in the playoffs especially the superbowl.
GRAPHICS: The same gloves that NFL pro's wear. Sleeves were you can tell that they are sleeves and not arms painted on. More Revolution Helmets( Because there are more)like tthe kind John Lynch(Denver Broncos), Eli Manning,Amani Toomer(New York Giants), Jerramy Stevens(Seattle Seahawks). When a team reaches the Super Bowl they should have a Super Bowl logo on their jersey's. You should be able to see injured, reserved, and back-up, players on the sidelines(During the Cut-Scenes), instead players with numbers that are not apart of the team. In the Franchise Mode, during Monday Night Football games the should have the players introduce there selves at the beginning of the (Just like on Mobnday Night Football). During Playoffs and Season Openers have special logos on the field. And a special Super Bowl opening And finally have different play screens for instance:
FEATURES: Have a way you can sign players to the practice squad. Add in the backwards pass when a defender is coming up to make the hit and you can pass it to the player behind you by pushing the Truck Stick button to the left or right. DEFENSE; Choose whether you want to run blitz or pass blitz or playtight coverage or give receiver space. Add in shovel pass plays. Add more penalties.
I'll try to get another thread so I can put a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation with a wish list for Madden 2007.
1. Pasing definately needs improvements ex. sometimes when my guys are open ill throw it to them but he'll underthrow them so much that the defender will catch up and knock it down, also qbs should make some automatic adjustmnts ex. my guy is open but his route is going towards defenders the qb should throw it faster so he catches it before he gets to the defenders also i hate it when im moving with my qb and i throw it but it does precision pass and messes it up bad.
2 Return missed field goals especially with nathan vasher and 108 yards
3 Get reggie bush to show u his moves and make them in the game
4 rookies from ncaa should have better stats Period.
5 When defenders get a chance to intercept a ball and try to they usually catch it, BUT DONT MAKE IT SO THEY CATCH IT EVERY TIME. besides they shouldnt get that many chances anyway. and More tipped balls juggling the football and stuff
6 better diving for the football.
7 piles on short yard situations
8 more celebrations
9 make whether a factor ex if its raining more fumbles and bad passes, AND DONT MAKE IT SO THEY FUMBLE EVERY RUN JUST ONCE OR TWICE MORE THAN USUAL.
All i can think of for now but i know ive got more ideas but EA please make the running game better with better moves and stuff
I think alot of the ideas ive been hearing are good, and im not going to get into them but 1 thing that always frustrates me is, where is the players momentum it's dumb cause the bus can be running full speed hit right into a cb and get knocked back in real life u have to hit the big guys low because they'll just steam role u theres no momentum a heavier player hitting a cb at full speed should send him back a few yards
The Zoom is the real deal.I wish Madden can get a glimpse of this idea.I can imagine seeing a QB under pressure throwing a bad pass into double coverage but if his receiver decides to be so big and bold and goes after the dangerous catch without him knowing what's in store for him than he is in trouble.The zoom should apply not while the ball is in the air but after the catch.When the catch is made there should big a quick zoom view of what the receiver sees in front of him and not always behind him or always besides him which makes it obvious.If he doesn't see what's coming than oh my.This will make the game more fierce.I can guarantee it.
Assuming all previous fetures return.
1. I would like to see creat-a-playbook return to franchise mode.
2. Also, trick plays in creat-a-playbook mode.
3. To be able to change any players' assignment to any position.
ex. WR to QB
4. Keep that stupid QB cone an option, agt the end of the day its' just another button to push.
5. Practice sqad players in franchise mode.
6. New teams in creat-a-team mode.
7. If superstar mode must stay at least let us export the team.
8. More training camp drills or the abillity to use 2 players in the same drill.
9. The abillity to put any player at any position during a game. ex. RB behind the center.
10. Players with questionable character miss games due to off the field problems in franchise mode.
well anyways the rookies get like 10 faces and you cant change them.and when i look at existing player info i see their face is like Face 155... or you should be able to change a rookie's face in preseason or something because its just plain annoying getting a player who looks like an
