1. I would like to see highlights of plays at halftime like in NFL2K5.
2. The ability to create a team and use them as an Expansion Team and put them in the AFC or the NFC
3. Creating plays that include double reverses, play action, flea flickers, etc.
4. Creating defensive plays that have stunts, multiple coverage, etc.
5. Created Team drop menu for names that can be pronounced it stinks hearing the home team or the visiting team
I love alot of your ideas.. esp with the superstar mode 3rd 4th round... $#^ that... Also this is all on me i have been saying this for years.. But now would fit perfectly in superstar mode... Fines, suspentions, Be able to Pull a T.O.
Like if i am a WR and i catch a TD i should be able to celebrate excessivly if i so desire.. I should be able to throw a fit on the sidelines.. or get into another players face... pull a sean taylor and spit at someone... I know it will never happen. But i can hope.
Also U read about players being involved in off the feild confrontations, and being arrested for drug use or things like that... that should be part of it to, What about illness can't play or practice cause of the flu...
1. More offseason training programs: For example, Larry Fitz is an excellent receiver. But he only has 88 speed. So in the offseason, Larry works on his squats, lower body strength in the WEIGHT ROOM. He also goes running with a parachute on his back. Or maybe your rookie OL needs to improve his strength, so you engage in the bench press mini-game to raise his stats.
2. Team Meetings throughout the week during Franchise: On Tuesday, your team has to watch film on ur upcoming opponent, like the Gameplan mode in 06. Later in the week, Holmgren gives the schemes for the upcoming game.
3. Jukes: Stutter Steps, jumps, spins, better stiff arms. It seems to me that stiff arms only work a percentage of the time, it doesnt take into consideration the positioning the players are in.
4. More dynamic blocking: I hate those blocks where u get stuck. Football is a fast paced game. If I'm blitzing with Polamalu, one of two things will happen, the OL will throw him to the ground, or Polamalu is too fast and will slip right by him. There is no way Polamalu can swim his way out of a block. NCAA has this type of blocking. Instead of the fullback not knowing what to do he hits somebody, anybody and you have to find the hole. That's what real running backs do.
5. Team Chemistry: Why did the Eagles fall apart this year? Team Chemistry. Why did New England win 3 Super Bowls in 4 years? Team Chemistry. A more balanced team that shares the bowl is always more successful than the teams with one or two standouts.
6. Cut Scenes: During the week, the game stops and shows you a cutscene of your team at practice. Duce Staley is looking incredible whereas Willie Parker seems a bit lackluster. Duce receives a stat boost for the upcoming game and now you may be changing your starting running back.
7. Player grooves: NCAA does this very well. A quarterback who completes 5 of 7 passes is somewhat confident. A quarterback who completes 2 of 7 is losing confidence. As a player develops a groove during the game he receives a stat boost.
That's all I've got for right now. Let me know what you think.
How about possibly making a momentum meter like if one team has scored two tds in a row there stats go up or something and if that team throws a pic the other teams momentum meter increases causing there players to play better. Something of that sort so more comebacks in online games can occur i think it would add a little twist to the game...
Having the draftees come up on draft day and hold up their jerseys sure would be cool but one it would take up way to much memory and two there are much better ways to improve the game than stupid videos how bout expanding on their online play like adding an online league with fantasy draftin kind of like fantasy football but u get to use ur players so u can find 10 people online take an hour and a half and draft everyones players for each team then have two games in the league each week and after how ever many games the commis wants there is a playoff and a super bowl and all that good stuff. basically an online franchise fantasy draft. I think that is more worth while than a stupid video.
Also for online allow people to watch other people play. be able to make groups or clans w.e. it adds an edge to the game. another thing if a player gets lets say 20 disclaims from different players saying he cheats his ip gets banned for a month after that if another 15 people say he cheats his ip is banned for good. banning an ip is quite easy doesnt take much time or energy and would help online play dramatically. another thing that would help the spread of online would to have huge online tournaments that u compete for a proze from ea. they supposebly have some but they are like once every three months or god only knows.
I hope you guys like my ideas and hopefully someone important will read them .
the only things i'm going to say here is that madden should be slightly closer to NCAA. you added the draft from NCAA, which was the most ingenius characteristic that set madden apart from the rest of the football games. take the college/pro interplay alot more in depth. the 2 are kinda like a game with a full game expansion, as well it should be.
and use ESPN much more. Football took over (to the dismay of MLB) as America's favorite sport, and nobody knows this more than ESPN. I've read there is a contract concerning ESPN and EA. EA, it exists for a reason. ESPN wants, needs, and should be exploited to the fullest potential.
like i said in the NCAA wishlist thread, the more options and custumization capabilites and the less uselessness (like classic teams) the better. gaming is about the players experience of creating their own experiences. we don't care about 1985. we care about what WE can do NOW, and how we can manipulate the game to give us those experiences. for most of us, this is as close as we'll ever get to wearing a super bowl ring, an experience which i'm sure is beyond the words in any language's dictionary.

Holding an idea within the mind
Will hold that mind in a fleck of time
make the game run smooter let winning the super bowl mean somthing all you get is a gatorade bath and back to the season let the team get betta make the computer better like u put it on all madden and every thing is just faster not better
The first thing that I noticed is that certain things should be taken out of the game or moved around like:
1. the free agency should be before the rookie scouting of course
2. the juke mode. their is no reason to even have a juke mode if it is impossible to use it. in ncaa the juke mode works to your advantage. everytime i try to juke in madden the defender stands still and jumps where i'm going.
3. i personally thought that the superstar mode was a dumb option. i think all that was was a way of saving time space. all superstar mode is is a draft, a couple of interviews, an apartment, a mentor?, and try to get the mvp. i can do this in franchise mode and i do. ea needs to take this mode completely out of the game and apply this space to improving the franchise mode. what about creating a coach with strengths and weaknesses and taking jobs around the league. is you do good you get an extension and if you suck then you're fired.
4. what about off field problems(jamal lewis, sean taylor, the vikings, ricky williams)
5. an actual rookie combine
6. what about QBs coach, and RB coach, or LB coach
7. after game primetime like in ESPN.
8. a QB intelligence feature. rookie QBs usually cannot call plays themselves so if you decide to use a rookie QB the coach should call your plays. every eight games he should learn one new formation and you should have the option of choosing that formation or have the coach choose.
9. have seperate stats for individual positions
10. stop the QBs from throwing over their backs when hurried
11. have jump balls for the WR and one handed catches
12. have a leadership stat for QBs
13. what about the QB pouch for the uniform and the towel that players carry
14. all players on the field call for flags
15. more creative create team mode
16. receivers need to run through the catches
I agree with alot of what has been written already.
Just one thing that bothers me in Superstar mode: Why can't you be drafted before the 3rd. round, I had a QB with an overall of 88 in superstar mode and he was drafted late in the 4th. round. Not very realistic.
I have very few probs about 06, mainly the dang dbs knocking down every ball, my ideas are mainly offseason ideas
1 Retire Number, give me the chance to retire # 80 in san fran
2 I like the idea of a sportscenter type show to replace tony bruno
3 Pregame, halftime, postgame celebrations, they are getting worse each year
4 have training staff, st coach, o-coach, d-coach, on the sideline, we sign them don't we? plus have training staff run on the field for injuries
5 i like the idea of having the chance to have 75-90 players on roster at start of preseason and being able to reduce roster before start of season.
(I drafted Cory Ross in the 6th round to be my backup and i averaged a meer 1.4 yards per carry. he was only good for a kickreturner and even that was tough for madden 06)
6 allow for more than 32 teams in the league. i would love to create a new team and have a franchise draft where teams had to put up players they could no longer afford. they had it for the texans a few years back and it was cool although teams put up crappy players instead of expensive players
7 change the email crap, at the start of each year i get the same emails as if i was starting year 1 all over again
8 make the weather affect more of the game, players slip, recievers drop wet balls, qbs fumble slippery balls, players get dirty etc
9 like in ncaa, have players break rules that require suspensions, i loved reading that my lb cut practice so i had to make him miss a game or two
10 my players dont get hurt unless i simulate the game, that sux, i even have a bad training staff and i still have no injuries all year, not likely
11 let me create a new uni for my team. right now you can but you cant use the teams logos
As mentioned above, these shows would make madden a much more entertaining game. Something like NFL Live or the Fox Pregame show that lasts for three to five minutes would be ideal. Wouldn't it be great to watch anaylists talk about your team, make predictions, and show some great matchups? Before the game begins, make a big deal. Have fireworks, show rowdy fans, players stretching and warming up. Then, have the stadium get quite and dark, and have the players get introduced. I'm an Eagles fan and going to there games and seeing each of them run out through the blown up helmet with smoke and fireworks. I know that this is semi-existent in the current Superbowl, but make it larger and more entertaining. Also, have the teams celebration after a win more realistic, instead of jumping around like a bunch of idiots. Then, after the celebration, have it change to a post-game show, where the analysts pick the player of the game, discuss stats, upcoming matchups, and whether or not their pregame predictions were right. Add some PERSONALITY to the game, instead of the boring, repetitive nature of Madden 06 and the previous editions. Also, for the Superbowl, make it the big, media event that it is. Have media day and show that it really is huge. Then, after your team wins the Superbowl, have the players and the coach really celebrate. Make it realistic! The Superbowl is the biggest game of the year and its treated as if its hardly important in Madden. Those are just some ideas on improving the entertainment aspect of Madden, but people should let their voices be heard on the gameplay and franchise mode.
Has any1 noticed on madden 2005 and 2006 when u r in the red zone madden the fat **** will still tell u to beat them deep??? Or when ur at the 1 yard line he says maybe if they can make a pile he can jump over the top?? but yet u cant do that. Madden ur ****! - Somethings i would love to see is this - Late hits should be brought in. - When u have been late hit u can reteliate??? Say push them over or even go off at them. Something to make it interesting. - Rivalry games should be more intence. Players should be able to be kicked out of a game. Starting fights? Something like that. Blockers shouldnt be so dumb!! I have had my RT and my fb going for 1 guy... what happens the CB gets through and tackles me. Better Catches. Why cant we see a 1 handed diving catch. Marvin has done it, even Stallworth. Harder Tackles, Ray Lewis should be able to really lay a hit! Better tackling ability, bigger hit. Why am i able to use a CB and still lay the same type of hit like ray lewis does. Retarted. Anyone noticed in some occasions when u try to spin away from some1 u seem spin right back into them. hmmm. I want to see more Emotion when scoring the winning FG or winning TD. Why doesnt the team started celebrating? Some1 has already said this but i think its a great idea. I would love to see Draft picks come up and Hold the jersey? (just top picks) The superbowl should be better. Where are the Fireworks? and at the end of the game where are the players celebrating. U see a small amount of it but this is the biggest game in the nfl, COME ON! Why r the Qb so slow lol? DT catch them? those r some of the small things that could make the game a little better. I read a post about some1 saying players should have special abilities? I think that would be great. In the collage years im sure they would have a special ability. Some players should be really really fast. If players r at 99 Speed it seems kind of retarted. Every1 is the same speed then. Just things like that. Anyway tell me what u think. P.S EA U GUYS R DOUCHE BAGS. MAKE THE GAME BETTER!
OK here we go:
1) they should make safteys not know were the ball is thrown every time and either pick it off or bat it down(almost every time)
2) you shouldnt be able to get 15 yards per carry, like i do against my freinds, i get at least 10 yards every play and sick and tiered of hearing them complain!
3) the qb visons shouldnt be so small that u can barley see the reciver, i mean if u've ever played football and played as qb u can see most of the field.
Thats it i gess
GO STEELERS
"(1) MORE Flippin jukeS i want to see every juke there ever was along with all the other running back moves like cutbacks and hurdling over people ducking under tacklers CUTBACKs and that thing in ncaa where you keep hitin X to break the tackle USE IT its cool and stutter steps also while you are getting tackled you should be able to try to spin or something to get extra yards."
EXACTLY!!! How can you play someone like Reggie Bush next year, when the game doesn't even come close to allowing moves like he makes! I think they improved it overall in 2006 (being able to stop quickly, or duck under, etc.) but they need to enable quicker, short combo type jukes. Like Reggie, and so many other great backs, the gameplay should be better for the "better" backs! All the moves are the same for every back - no matter how agile or fast they are.
2. Combine some aspects of Franchise Mode with Superstar Mode. During Superstar play, I've had some GREAT rookies (receivers, backs, etc.) and they suddenly are released after just one year! NOOOO! I want to be able to keep them if I want. Also, be able to choose new rookies and free agents to better your team. If anything, just make the CPU draft/sign realistically. I stopped my Superstar mode after 4 years because I had like 6 Right Guards, and 1 Left Guard, and 8 DT's! It's too random.
3. SOOO many times the CPU calls their catch Inbounds (when it clearly wasn't), or says their fumble was not a fumble (when it was) or mine was a fumble (when it clearly wasn't). Make the reviews more realistic and consistent.
4. This goes along with Back moves, but I agree with others here: The ability to leap over the pile on short yardage situations.
5. More uniform options! I enjoy creating my own teams/uniforms/etc. but I'm tired of the same 4-5 jersey/pant/helmet choices. The NFL is getting more creative with their uniforms. OH! ALLOW US TO USE THE TEAM LOGO IF I CHANGE THEIR UNIFORM!!! If I decide to change any of the NFL teams uniforms, I can't use the original logo on their helmet/jersey/etc. I know it's probably a copyright issue.
6. More stadium design options, too! What if you had the ability to create your locker room or weight room? Heck, take a tour of my stadium - inside and out - I built it!
7. Rather than have an article in the "Newspaper" (which nobody really reads anymore, anyway), have a weekly show, like Sportscenter, or NFL Primetime, etc. where they review the week, interview coaches/players, etc.
8. I agree with others about Tackle and Sack assists!
9. I also agree about Punt Returns - you're left with absolutely no room for a return 99% of the time!
10. Last but NOT least: I like the idea of being able to complain to the refs about pass interference or a bad call.
How come they removed challenges for online gaming? is there a good reason? It hurst a lot of players game and theres a lot of bs calls. Its sorta unheard of.
i agree with limiting madden for what he says all the time, add another annoying announcer like Joe Buck, or Troy Aikman, michael irvin, or Boomer, or even chris burmin. that would even better. wouldnt u want to hear chris boomer say... the stuff he does. its pretty cool like. del la come and u got a delhomme. stuff like that. or like when he says the queeky wHAattt? or i dunno, more interesting then madden and his dumb advice.
wish list:
1. need to be more juke moves cause a guys like LT can juke Line Backers out their shoes.
2. add more drama like have player get ejected from games or suspended for your hands on an offical HINT: Steve Smith dallas game a stupid little touch cause the panthers to lose the game.
3. improve the Hit stick when guys get hit by guys like dan morgan they should not pop rigth back up then should atleast sit out a couple of plays or the game.
4 Make playoffs games feel like playoff games and not an regular season game.
5. Make the super bowl week better. Have media day. have a post show after the super bowl have the MVP of the super bowl show him getting a new car like tom brandy did.
6. Some teams or better at home then on the road or oppisite make that an affect during the season.
7. Now as we all know that some CB"s can not keep up with steve smith but on 06 it seems as if the rookies can keep up with top Wide riecver like steve smith, Randy Moss, Chad Johnson
8. make touchdowns celebration better. Steve smith and Chad Johnson are the best at touchdowns celebration have some of their moves from what they did last season on the the game.
9. I Think that STEVE SMITH OR CHAD JOHNSON should be on Madden 2007 cover forget the curse.
There are many things wrong with the game.
Franchise/Superstar-
1. The off-season drill suck. There should be things like weight-lifting, or running with the 'cute. The ones now are rather basic aside from the Trench. There needs to be more drills for OL, and PR/KR.
2. Where is the combine? I want to run the drills for my superstar, and see the drills for the players. Maybe you can pick x amount of players then you can do the other research with the 15.
3. The coaches will disappear and then reappear in like 5 years. Belicheck retired after he won his third, he's too young and wouldn't.
4. ST coaches all suck and the ones that are good want to be Head Coaches and won't give up.
5. Why don't the add-ons to the stadium bring in revenue?
6. Create-a-team should be better. The uniforms always end up looking like a child made them. There should be more logos.
Gameplay-
1. Recievers constantly get burned by DB's. And when they do breakaway the
DB comes out of no where to deflect the pass. Or the saftey in zone will sprint across the field and knock the ball down. It doesn't happen. All routes that are on an angle the WR just stops running after catching for enough time to let him get Tackled.
2. Do the linemen ever block? A LB will always just come right through the middle. Or a DL will get past a Lineman and then the others don't react.
3. On all-pro and up there are almost no holes when running the ball.
4. When the CPU runs the secondary does not react. What should be a 3-5 yrd run ends up being 7-12 because the safteys in zone just sit there.
5. Punt/ Kick blocks need to happen.
Just Superstar-
1. Needs to have more options prior to draft. When I imported from from NCAA-a 99 overall- I still went in the 3rd round even though I had a 90 on the IQ test. The combine needs to be involv. When in franchise many guys with poor interviews still go.
2. Weight training or some kind of drill needs to be included.
Ok thats what I can think of now, tell me what you think.
in superstar mode if u play an offensive position then u watch the defense play and vice versa
instead of espn have NFL Total Access with Rich Eisen they could have weekly shows with game highlights and news as well as covering the offseason with video
the senior bowl is ran by the NFL so have the senior bowl in the game watch practice on Total Access and the game
send players to NFl Europe
Total Access covers the combine, show the drills
with the draft Total Access also covers with players getting the jersey, showing fake highlights of college career, and rookie interviews at the draft
also move FA b4 draft and more players into draft have 80 players going into august and see if anyone proves themselves in mandatory training camp pracitices
Well.. all I really want in good game play with a dynasty mode that functions just as the real NFL like with cap penalties being spread over 2 seasons.
All the extras are nice but what I want is the 2 things I play the game for to be strong.
--------------- Madden 2007 Next Gen football ---------
Oh yeah, one thing I would love for them to include
When you move a team in franchise mode make it so that no matter what logo you pick for your team (historic, current, letter, or the other ones) that they can be on your helmet.
I hate the logoless helmets.

ok u guys remember the dreamcast controllers
? how it had that screen in the middle there well how bout madden have it own controller and have that screen there so u and only u and pick your plays on your screen so the person ur playing against does not cheat and see o he is in goal line its a run!!!! i hate that
Realism....most of the comments I see about people making here on realism can be fixed just by using the sliders.
As for things I would like to see...
Punting fixed (the one slider setting I used does ok, but using max distance isn't that realistic when it comes to yardage)
Better situational play calling
Better usage of timeouts
Less diving for the endzone from the 3 yard line and landing on the 1, with no one around you
Players that will take less to stay with teams (ie- Tom Brady) or take substantly less to play for a certain team
OK, here we go. Most of these suggestions are not in-game related, just ways to enhance the (mostly) Franchise mode. Any opinions or comments would be welcome ...
1) One of the most ingenious things Madden ever did was to combine with NCAA so you can draft players from college into the pros. Now it's time to expland on that. Only about 225-250 players are transferred from NCAA to Madden, just enough to cover the draft. Why not double that amount (while decreasing the amount of P and K's) so each team could have the ability to sign undrafted free agents? Combine that with signing some low level veterans, and initially build your roster to ... say, 75. That would really enhance the pre-season, because every week you'd have to release players as the roster limit lowers a little at a time. Then, as the pre-season ends and you make your final cuts, allow five players or so to form your practice squad, just like the pros.
2) Put the free agent signings here they should be .... BEFORE the draft.
3) Completely scrap and re-do the free agent process. The interest level guide is completely useless, because all you have to do is lower your offer as little as possible while it still remains green, and you will be able to sign your choice player (The in-season interest level guide is even more ridiculous, because there's not even competition to worry about). Here's an idea: Give the user three chances to sign their player of choice, WITHOUT guidance from the interest level. If unable to sign after three chances, his interest level decreases, and you have to increase your offer.
4) Have an A and B announce team. I think we're all getting a little tired of the Madden/Michaels combination, but since this is HIS game, I doubt we're getting rid of him. But if you added an unknown announce team for the lower interest games, that might add some excitement.
5) Pre-game show. Half-time show. Post-game show. This request is not an uncommon one, so no need to expand on it.
6) Mid-week practices. Analyze every game and target a weakness with a new "area of improvement" feature. Then, use the mini-game feature to target that weakness for practices during the week, with the ability to increase a player's physical stats with great scores, and decrease stats with lousy scores. Add new mini-games for the offensive line, onside kicks, and ESPECIALLY punt and kickoff returns. Since injuries also happen at practice, allow a VERY small window of possibility for a player to be injured during these mid-week practices (VERY small).
7) Another thing I'd like to see scrapped and re-done is the injury process. Here's my idea: Instead of having a player out for 4 weeks, it's a little more realistic if he's out for 3-5 weeks. When a player gets upgraded to questionable (or even doubtful), give us the OPTION of playing him if he's able, but with decreased abilities and increased chance of re-injury.
8) Also, steal this idea from NCAA ... you know how each user gets 100 points after the season to spread out between recruiting, training, etc.? Do the same thing with Madden, and spread it out between injury repair and .. say, advance scouting and mid-week practice. So with this idea ...
a) the more you use for injury repair, the quicker and more often an injured player returns.
b) the more you use for advance scouting, it gives you the ability to scout more college players and in much greater detail.
c) the more you use for mid-week practice, the more an NFL player's abilities can be increased with mid-week practices.
You can even tie this in to the owner's mode. The more money you make, the more points you have to spread out between these three categories.
(Note: If there are any other things you could think of to add along with or instead of the three things I mentioned, I'd love to hear about them)
9) I'm glad kickoff returns have been tweaked where there's a chance of a return for a touchdown. Now do the same with punt returns, as it is almost impossible to return a punt for any distance in All-Pro mode or above. Guys like Dante Hall and Antwaan Randle-El are huge punt return weapons in the NFL, but are basically uselsss here. The (again, VERY small) window possibilty to block a FG or punt should also be prevalent.
10) Give yourself the ability to re-locate a team earlier. I like using the Create-A-Team option, but under the current system, that team won't see the light of day until year 3, unless you want to eliminate a team and its players, which I'd rather not do. There's no reason not to have the ability to IMMEDIATELY re-locate so you can have your team ready by year 2.
Just a few things off the top of my head. Let me know what you think.
11) I think another thing that they should add is old players like Barry Sanders, Walter Payton, and Joe Montana. If they don't want to take the time to make every old team and every old player take the idea from street and just make a fantasy team with all the greats on it.
2. The option to send players to the nfl europe league.
3. training camp rosters expanded to 90 players, then you have to cut players week by week like in real life. of course that means there needs to be more people in the draft by alot.
The problem with having more players in the draft (and in general) is that you are increasing the amount of memory that's needed.
--------------- Madden 2007 Next Gen football ---------
It might be a hardware issue as to why they can't add that many players.

ok ok. These are somethings that EA could add to the next Madden game.
(1) I think we should be able to get players into the Hall of fame(start them as a rookie. They play awesome through there career. Brake records?) HOF!!
(2) Better Jukes, stiff arms and better brake tackles. Depending on the back (some1 like Jamal Lewis or Ricky Williams) u should be able to carry people on ur back. Carry them for that extra 3 or 4 yards?
(3)Better Tackles. So many time i have gone to hit stick a ****ty RB with zach thomas or ray lewis and i get smacked. Yea thats really realistic. Tackles should be Huge. Why cant we see the flips. Some1 taking out ur legs? Spear tackles?
(4) Better Wr catches. I wanna see these diving catches. Or 1 handed catches.
(5) I dont know if any1 would agree to this one. Say u r losing 20-17 with 40 seconds to go in the game and ur at ur 2 yard line. I think ur team should get a adrenaline boost or something. They go hard out. They try to carry the team. Making a diving catch or braking some tackles and getting down to field goal range.
Tell me what u think.
this only covers superstar mode and the little quirks I have with it. others have covered game play.
1. make so you're draftable in the 1st round.
1 1/2. If you're drafted #1 in Round 2. another player can't be in the same slot. currently this happens.
2. Something more to do with your money. You can donate money to your college, home town, currently city in which you play. it in turns improves your image, visibility. I hate how you have play the madden bowl sometimes or do movies. Heck sometimes winning MVP, player of the year and superbowl barely makes your meter jump if you're a rookie.
3. Contract negotiations. You should be able to dictate how much you want.
make so its like the contract in franchise mode. If you demand too much they might not sign you. This also opens up the chance you might go into preseason with no contract. further more you should be able to choose what team you want to go to once on the free market. say your a 99 qb, you want to be a colts, but what are the chances they'll take you over peyton but if you take crap for pay they'll be more inclined to take you. teams can offer you extentions mid season.
4. a delete all option in your email thing. I occasionally read it to see who's mvp and what not or sometimes I want to check in to see what's up.
5. Interviews that make sense. I seen interviews that ask me if I'm staying or leaving after I have left. I always see an interview asking me about the movie even though I never did one.
6. You should be able to get injured. I have played serveral superstars. I have NEVER been injuried for more than the rest of the game.
7. be able to come out of retirement. only at certain points. like 3 years in you quit. after you hit annouce retirement it can bring up the option return X years later or retire for good. returning would be lower stats etc. heck even be stuck to your old contract. if you left in the middle of one.
8. Be traded by the cpu. players for the most part have no say whether to be trade or not. I have not seen any NFL player with a no trade clause.
9. the apperance thing is stupid. get rid of it. what does your on field uniform and equipment have to do with landing movie deals.
