Yeah individual celebrations would be great and to expand on that after a big play u have to push certain buttons for a mild celebration or a crazy celebration, and if u pick a crazy celebration u have a chance of getting penalized.
Madden should have behind the scenes where the players are in the locker rooms before the games getting pumped up in the Franchise Mode. The Franchise Mode should have all the events that occurred from the past season on there.(Moss mooning GreenBay)(T.O doing Ray Lewis Dance)(TO and McNabb.
With the new NFL ruling...I doubt its gonna happen..

I think the Superstar mode needs to be expanded more, I like the agent thing and the ability to sign for big contracts and all but things need to be taken to the next level with it.
I am a Madden lifer but this game needs major overhaul in every area of game play. The biggest thing is the CPU running game. It does not exist. I give up no more that 300 yards in a season. Thats about 20 yards per game. A major factor can be a true fatigue factor similar to the LIVE series. Players start to slow down both mentally and physically and with the offense making more substitutions than the defense the defense should be sucking wind after a few plays.
Then there is the playbook. My solution would be to have your profile tie in to your coach. Rather you play with a real coach or a (hint) created coach what you do should reflect how teams gameplan around you. (scouting report) You should also be able to create a playbook with no less than 150 plays on offense and 100 on defense. That playbook ties into your gameplay in franchise mode, or online game play. The ability to create plays like reverses, playaction, and screens is a must. Also the ability to assign offensive lineman blocking schemes like pulling and double teaming. Since there would be a scouting report that ties to your plays called there is a record of what you like to do in your profile.
The offseason. Free agency starts before the draft. Players can be cut after June 1st and not have an immediate cap hit but spread out over 2 years. The draft should have all players at the combine and an expanded choice of players. Also the ability to change players names before they are drafted. Accurate numbers from the for times and bench press. I have drafted guys that were 4.3 40 guys and had speed of like 80. Thats unreal.
punt block and the 3rd guy from the right will sometimes not all the times or even alot but he will block it especially if your playin with a buddy and he doesnt have punt block return on
The defensive backs always drop the ball on easy int. they run right in front of it and get hit in the head with the ball and then it hits the ground. wats that about? you have to some way make the defensive backs actually CATCH the ball. not just get hit by the ball. and another thing i think it would be reallly cool that on a rare ocasion when one of the corners or recievers acidentally knock the ball into the air that sombody else could go up and catch it after it was knocked. What usually happens is when it get tippes up it just hits another person in the face. all in all just make people CATCH the ball. Thats all i got to say
I think that you should be able to block field goals, with how it is now you can't even come close. If the other team is in range and your on all-madden then it is good no matter what.
happened to one handed catches, I would love to see more of those like in Madden 2001(WR's did that all the time). Also, when you draft a player, don't give them ugly *** ratings(for example, 99 speed with 47 acceleration and 50 agility). The progression system makes me mad too. How come you can't build up a cb strength rb catching or even wr blocking, and is it me or does it seem that players speed never goes up. Even if you average 20 yards a catch the speed does not go up, people do get faster you know. Then there's the LB's, why does my best LB only gets 40 tackles a season. I would also like to see better commentary and half-time reports like ESPN 2k5. Impact players for Madden would also be nice. Show top 10 or even 5 players when they get drafted holding the jersey. The scouting combine would be nice, but I know that would be difficult for EA. If you make a immediate impact with your rookie player or any player, their rating should show that...like immediatly. Better motions for jumping, like a drop step you know, it's kind hard to explain, but anyone who played anykind of football knows what im talking about, getting all that explosion under you. I don't mind training camp, it just needs more additions. Like speed and strength for CB's and WR's. This may sound stupid and may be hard for EA, but I would like to see some kind of integration of "freestyle" for jukemoves. That **** would be hella tight for Madden. Imagine being able to do Barry-style runs with that, and agility should play a factor with it. Like if your agility is a 80, your stutter-steps should be ugly and your moves don't look as flashy, but if your agility is a 99, then you should be able to do stuff like the jump-back move like Dante Hall did to the Broncos.
i would like the game play to be more like the ncaa football the juking on madden is worthless so is the spinning..i even like the ncaa graphics better all around.i wish they would put the freedom in madden 2007 ...like they did in the 2006 ncaa...i can shift my defenses all sorts of way and change my coverage right there at line with calling a audible...a and for god sakes do something with the punt return it is a little(alot) unreal. ihave never seen so many fumbles in my life.....and make the defenders able to fight through blocks better they are pitiful on this game unless you bull rush you won't blow up a play...or they wind up on there back...i tell the 2005 and 2006 ncaa was awsome..i feel in control of my team...and the interception were better...madden seems to jump late or the guy i want nearest the ball is not the one i want when the pass goes up...it is to hard to switch to a defender on the fly he almost always stops running or misses the pass altogether.
i totally agree new jukes instead of the truck stick. it should just have a button. all the accersories the player should have is like high stockings and better long sleeves. its so tight on the players. have shoes like nfl 2k5 just black and white shoes are too boring. football is all about the looks too
Come on. Who really cares what socks the guy is wearing. If thats what you care about, Im sure they make a Barbie dress up game some where.

more realistic touchdown dances like chad johnsons cpr dance in jacksonville
better celebrations after winning a game especially the super bowl
be able to jump over your lineman on the goal line
more trash talking by players
being thrown out of game with illegal or late hits
more moves for running backs
better commentary instead of them saying the same thing over and over
pregame show like on tv before the games
lol madden 2006 i love all the other ones but this one pisses me off first of all the vision **** gots to go i never threw so many int in madden its not all the vision heres an example u see the guy open 5 yards u also see the defender sitting so u throw it away from defender and thats when the defense jumps about 3 yards linebacker and snatches t in a blink of an eye bs right there.
there also should be challenging ints.
and that ****in hit stick suks this year i use to be so good at now i hit when im at the guy it dont do it he runs past me then it works completely misses u guys knowat im talkin about.
and last but not least stas i will use my favorte team lions yes i kno they suk bye joey heres a perfect example kevin jones they underate newcomers so much his stats went down at the end of season his carrying is so low he only had 1 fumble last season and year b4 but yet its like 82 so is his break tackle the guy is a break tackle machine he injured 2 guys from trucking them in real life he also ran over ray lewis come fix stats 2 real life they also lowered his speed just because he didnt do as good as his first season bull**** thats just sum ideas there are tons more. the game needs sum work
o yea the catching fuking suks hall mary ur reciever u hit triangle ur guy dosent event jump 4 it but computer sure gets up there u would think how much money madden franchise has it would be a better ame than it is
okay maybe the stockings is a little over board. but the shoes. have nike or reebok or something. have player mouth movements. realistic, realistic. touchdowns celebrations. don't have a cb taking the bus without lowering his shoulders. well thats it for now
I definately agree with the idea for easier blocks on punts and kicks. In 2006, it was literally impossible, and it happened about 6 or 7 times in the nfl season that I know of. Also the idea for the draftees coming up on stage is a good 1 also. Also, people like Antwaan Randle El and Dante Hall are no better at returning punts that Kurt Warner, and thats bs. The draft is arguably my favorite part about madden. Maybe make a Draft Special before each draft and say who is the net Reggie Bush or whos the next Brett Favre, or say if they will be a bust and it might not be worth it to trade up. Also, I'm tired of being 13 years into my dynasty mode and hearing madden talk about how good the patriots were in '05. Make them do voice excerpts to talk about later more recent seasons. Make the game seem more like an actual NFL season.
I know it has already been said but I would love to see a Madden where you can do "freestyle" type jukes, where if you have someone that has good agility you can potentially juke a whole team(far fetched). But I think it would change madden by seperating the scrubs from the elite madden ballers. Cause 06 you really couldn't tell, I mean you would win but it seemed that it would be a good game in some cases.
1. You should be able to do what ever you want in the game. Like if you want to hurt someone or rip off their helmet you should be able to. Not jus hit stick. And maybe be penalized for it like money and/or missing a couple games.
2. Also it should take some things from NCAA like your players should get in trouble off the field. Which will affect your team.
3. I think you should be able to use any player on offense. So in certain situations you can play with the wideouts or line. I think it would come in handy and force your opponent to play different schemes throughout the game.
Don't know if this has been mentioned but Ithink they should change up the running system... let me explain. If a Wide Reciver or running back gets by the first tackle and there is only a safety or so in front of them... but towards the middle of the feild... even if it is a fast safety that could cut them off, it never happens, except if it is the CP. its kind of lame to only have 1 big play from you liek then have the next person do the same thing, and just trade touchdowns liek that. Not as intense ya dig? Also, in most cases, if a reciever gets the ball and in more htan a yeard in front you can kiss his *** goodbye if he is over 85 speed, even with a 90 speed CB or S or so on.
Pretty much what I'm saying is, tweak some things so that there isn't an unrealistic ammount of big plays because you didn't do everything perfect or because T.O. is faster then most anybody... even if you're shading him corrcectly and everything... just doesn't make it fun.
yeah i also think that when creating a playbook there should be more things you can do w/ it. i think when creating a play, you can be able to do soething like manually running a WR route, or a rb route and stuff like that....i hate saying to myself "i wish this guy could do this"...also i think that we should have the option to play any player at any position. cuz i mean who wouldnt want to run Vick w/ a WR reverse hahah....but yeah that stuff would be cool too.
Okay, these are the noticle things I have noticed that would make madden so much better.
FRANCHISE MODE
Pre-Game:
Have the commentator talk about the key player on both teams roster. Have some different animations of each player warming up and getting ready for the game. While so, talk about the either (Player's stats from last week, Player's stats from the entire season, Player's best game this season, or even their worse game.)
During Game:
Truck Stick: Maybe a few more animations for this. Outside of that it is just fine.
Hit Stick: Definitely more animations here, but don't make it so easy to land. I think only players with a certain tackle rating should be able to use the hit stick. (Ex: Tackle is 90 or above)
Catches: More animations here as well, but the big thing her is sideline catching, there should be more animations where the recievers a more focused on getting both feet inbounds. There have been so many passes that I have thrown to a wide open person breaking toward the side line who makes the catch but the animation of the catch only allows one foot to stay inbounds. I say players with certain catch ability should be able to make those kind of plays. (Ex: Catch is 80 or above) This is a must fix.
Challenges: ZOMG! I said ZOMG! These are horrible to be honest. They only get about 50% of these calls right. There has been countless times where it is dead obvious that the reciever only had one foot in bounds and you challeneg the call and they still say it was a catch. >.<. And vice versa. Plus, we should be given more options on what to challenge. One time I wanted to challenge the spot of the ball in which I knew the reciever was short of the first but the ruling was a first down. When I go to challenge, it says, "Challenge the catch?" I was like O.O. We need choices! This too is a must fix.
Celebrations: Yeah, they are kinda lame. I think a new attribute should be added called sty (style) in which the higher the rating, the better celebrations that player can do including on touchdowns and first downs.
Benches: Yeah, need more life and activity over there.
Punts: Seriously. Everytime the CPU punts, their men blaze down field while my men do no kind (and I mean no kind) of blocking and I am forced to fair catch everytime. Everytime! If I don't, I get smacked down but an on coming player surrounded by 6 of his buddies.
Halftime: Yeah, we need a halftime report. Have some comentators discuss not only key play in the current game, but other games around the league along with there scores and a few key stats on top players of that game. Just like on TV.
Gamebreaks: Someone aboved mentioned this and I totally agree. Every now and then take a break from gameplay and talk about a current score that juts happened in another game and show the clip on it.
Timeouts: When a team calls a time out, have a cutscene of like the QB running over to the sideline to discuss a play or even have the entire team head off the field. Something to give us a small break. The timeout should also be for the gamer who plays they game so they too can think of a play. In a timeout, have the QB and coaches talk while showing your playbook, giving you teh ability to browse the play book for (60 seconds?) looking for a new play to run. If you finish before your 60 seconds, simple bress a button (start?) to return to the game.
Homefield: There is no real advantage of having homefield in Madden. As mentioned before, the corwd should get hyped after making big plays and scoring touchdowns. Have some fans waving signs or dancing or whatever, make home feel like home.
Jukes: Old and boring. That sidestep was cool back in 2006, but now, we need something new. Somethign more realistic, like head fake juking or some sort of real life juking like on t.v.
Thanksgiving, Christmas, Playoffs and Superbowl: Add new scripts to the game commentary. This was done only for when youe system actually hits Thanksgiving or Christmas. So basically twice a year in real life. But what about in the actual franchise mode.
Sunday and Monday games: Have madden only do monday night games and allow other commentors do Sunday games.
Matching Sports Ticker: I hate how you have a noon game on Madden and during that noon game, you are in the second quarter with 6:08 left to play and the ticker comes up showing scores and they bring up a game that started at noon as well, but they are nearing the edn of the 3rd quarter. >.<.
Plus, if you set your season for 5 minutes per quarter, that should go for all games in the league. I start the second quarter with a fresh 5 minutes, and another game is in the third quarter with 8:03 left to play. Must fix.
END OF GAME:
Have different endings. No one wants to see the same exact ending each time. Have players with different reactions depending on how close the game was, the weather, so on and so forth.
Interview: Like on ESPN, have interviews with the player of the game, but do not add voice overs for players, it won't work right. Just have a naimation of a player and the interviewer while the "Madden Music" Plays. In fact, do not even focus on the in the interview, show the animation for like 5 seconds and go on about the ending of the game.
END OF WEEK:
After the game is over, and you view stats and stuff a end of the game show that shows highlights from key games, important games, good match-up games, and high scoring games. Let the gamer know what is going on around the league as well as maybe talk about some key injuries.
OFFSEASON
Have a special show (Such as NFL access) Talks about the top 10 or the top 32 players coming out of the draft and even show a few clips of maybe the top 10 players and some clips of them making big plays in the college they are coming from. GIVE US SOME HYPE MAN!
Scounting: Allow the gamer to watch the actual combine for each position. (Ex: QB #5 (name here) walks onto the field and runs his set of drills and then leaves posting his stats for that drill as he walks off teh field, then the next QB comes in. Also Allow the gamer to press a A to skip a position and go to teh next on, or another button to allow the gamer to choose what positions he would rather watch or even a button to simply skip combine.
NFL Europe: Allow gamers to send player to NFLEL and play there for a year or so. After each year it shows how much your player has increased or decreased in skills.
NFL Skills Challenge: Since NBA Live has all-star weekend. Madden should have this. Nuff said.
Draft: The draft for the most part is good although the top 10 - 15 players should have decent stats to make a direct and immediate impact on the team they were signed by. But not bad.
EXTRAS:
Mini-Games: Not the drills but just mini games. (Like 2 minute drill) Add a few more. One I would liek to see is 7 on 7 games. (1 QB, 1 RB, 3 OL, 2 WR) and (3 DL, 3 CB (one being a safety), 1 LB) Just for fun as players play on a 50 yard field and play to like 21 or 35.
IN CONCLUSION
I know this was long list but, I have have this odd vision that Madden will one day be this great, but it has got to start soon. The current version, has minor bugs and in need of upgrades in certain areas. I know this will take some time to put together and many of you guys might be saying "this guys is nuts" and EA coders are like "Why don't you come here and make such a game."
