2007 Wishlist

[SeanTaylor_Fan]

I Want More Gang Tackles , It Is Very Important To The Realism Of The Game, As In Espn 2k5 They Had Many Gang Tackles In Every Direction Even As The Players Were Going Down They Would Still Be Able To Get Hit, Which In Some Cases Can Cause Injuries, Fumbles, And Less First Downs.

2nd You Have To Have More Ways Of Catching The Ball, More Jump Balls, More Ability To Strip The Ball.

being able to use a player for offense and defense (referring to troy brown or mike vraebel from the patriots) , o yea and hitting a receiver while in the air with the ball would be nice

[SeanTaylor_Fan]

i like how in espn 2k5 you can pick the defensive linemen play then the rest of the play and it'll work

[T.O.F.N.]

i'm not sure of what you are talking about for that one

in espn 2k5 you could pick the defensive linemen's job in the play before you actually pick the whole play

[T.O.F.N.]

hmm... I don't remember it very well... probably cause I never used it...

[Short]

I know what he's talking about...like you could have them rush the inside, outside, right, left, and some other stuff...and then you pick the play for the rest of the D...

Its kinda hard to explain

[T.O.F.N.]

I think I kinda remember that part of the game... but ohh well...

I would like to see custom leagues (as many as 50 teams or more) to incorporate the created teams. And I would like to see the roster flexibility on PSII that you have on PC--ability to trade players.

Some flexibilty in uniform design (more like NCAA) would be nice.

And it would be kind of nice to have access to the college stadiums (I admit that as an "old" guy I rmreber when NFL teams played preseason games on college campuses).

Also, can they do something about all the fumbles on punt returns? Minor problem. Basically, this game (am still playing 05) is hours of fun to play.

These are just minor ideas...

2007 madden needs more strip balls I have never striped a ball loose yet.

[SeanTaylor_Fan]

ok 2007 needs to be the complete opposite of madden 360 ... i swear, it sucks

[Ghs]

If you've never stripped a ball it probably means you are not using the strip ball button!

[SeanTaylor_Fan]

i do use the strip ball button but you have to use it when he offensive player is in a crowd ... never in the open field or when you're getting burnt... unless you have ray lewis ........ and they're too many hard hits and no drag downs or gang tackles it sux , its extremely hard to run with the ESPN-like controls and stiff running

Strip ball works well blindside...Especially QB blindside.

I know that you guys are all about the offensive and defensive side of the ball but how many times have you been playing a friend who is pretty good and it comes down to a FG. I think for 07 a player should be able to ice the other teams kicker. I know we have the heart beat and the different view but does that honestly change anything? No. So when the other team goes to kick the winner the other team calls timeout. This then reduces the kickers accuracy down. The lower rated the kicker is the more the accuracy goes down. I think this would make saving your time outs more important and make the game more realistic.

another idea is when in the play now mode have a fantasy pick like in espn 2k5...you could pick QB, hb, fb, wr's, o line and defense

[skywalkernest]

you could pick goal line and switch it to MLB, and you could throw it to your lineback, or i-form tight(something like that) and toss it to a lineman. just addressing the player on both sides of the ball thing.

Madden should make a HOF 4 like when a player retires (like 4 ex. Jerry Rice) they should hav him b induted in the game. And dont make it boring like a patch on super star mode thats imposible 2 get make sho video clips pics highlights from when he played and juz sho wat wood usally happen when u make it in th HOF.

I believe it was madden 2004 where you could make the line men go out into the flats to defend the RB when he sneaks out. That feature is gone, i would love to have that back, as well as on defense being able to double coverage a receiver using the safety and db's. This was also in 2004. I think it was called playmaker or defensive hot routes, something like that. You could make the safeties defend either side of the field or just stay in the middle. All of this was done after the play is called. I hope im making sense.

Also, sometimes i notice when im playing defense and im in one on one coverage, the ball will be in the air, and my defender will just be running around the receiver or just standing there, this needs to be fixed.

Defenders dropping interceptions when the game is on the line.

The ball going straight through the hands of the defense.

Computer shouldnt have so much time to stay in the pocket.

Computer should not be able to complete every pass inside of the 2 minute warning.

Receivers running into each other during crossing patterns.

Defensive line men should not be able to move into the flats and the sack the QB withouth someone stepping up to block him.

In the 3-4 defense, if im controlling the lineman on the right, and i move him closer to the end of the line, he should not automatically be blocked by guard/tackle. he should only be blocked by who ever is in front of him, expecially if im controlling him.

I changed your avatar, this isn't a porn site.. do it again and you'll be banned

My wish is that when you dive for the goal, you could get spun around like John Elway. I have done it in training camp but you can't pause it to look at it! I think this would be cool in a game.
--------------- Madden 2007 Next Gen football ---------
What happened to where you could tell the whole defensive line to stunt to one side. i miss that.

yeah they drop SO many interceptions

and its almost impossible to return a punt the most ive gotten in one was like 30 yards

and when you sim the season in franchise mode linemen/DB's only get at the most 50 tackles?
corners are constantly gettin 50 +tackle seasons and linemen are gettin in the 70's and 80's

Another thing about punt returns....my longest return is like 25 yards....by the time my returner has the ball the whole other team is already down there waiting....i have to call a fair catch like every punt return

Franchise Mode needs an extreme football makeover. Whats the purpose of buying stadium upgrades if you cannot see them? Yes they improve your stadium but raise the cost to maintain the stadium and you never really make that money back.
Whats the purpose of playing more than a few season is the players wont be remembered into the hall of fame? They retire and then you end up playing with a bunch of guys that are just names.
Whats the purpose of not being able to change a players name before the draft? How many times have you simulated a season only to have a certain player stay in school and it's all for nothing since that is the guy you really wanted? Even with the generated guys you should be able to change their names before the draft.
Whats the purpose of having preseason games if you cant cut any players? 99% of the people just simulate the preseason because there is really no benefit, the stats mean nothing and rarely does a player get a significant boost. This can be expanded on by allowing undrafted free agents and lower round picks to compete for roster spots.
Tony Bruno gets old after awhile, and I never read the paper. It's not like the info is neccessary to anything. How about adding a sportscenter feature that drives up the stock of upcoming players and boosts or declines the moral of players who make it or don't make it.

madden 07 should have better graphics. between 2k5 and madden, 2k5 have better graphics. no offense but in madden players look more like clay figures to me. have jukes that knock the defenders out of there feet. have a halftime show. im telling you the superbowl is getting borer each yr. its always the same thing. idk i play madden on pc and its nothing like ps2. ps2s challeges and instant replays are alot better is alot better than pc. pc needs the madden card. be stricker on the penalties. have a better catches, one handers, catch the ball while dragging their feet out of bounds. have endzone celebrations. hit stick and the tackles need working, its just not real and hit stick needs too much on timing for a fumble to occur. when creating a player have new hair styles the hairstyles, in 06 the hair don't make the player look like the player. have the high one color stockings it'll look cool. have better shoes. idk but madden shoes don't look like cleats at all. madden 07 should have a freestyle button like nba live. special features on different players

To be more able to custom your team and Players, or you could have that thing that Tony Hawk has. use the face mapping to put your face on the custom player

[bearsfan22]

i think that there should be more realistic injuries. they walk of the field holding there arm and the report would say like a leg injury.

[mfcm90]

yea, they should add like sports center or something and do draft preview and um like they could have like espnews video highlights on the internet when ur playing online

[bearsfan22]

1. i think they should add like a "battle of the gridiron stars" like after the probowl or in the offseason.
2. i think that they need like a gamebreaker like at the end of the game in a two min. drive down the field. For example like the quarterback throw the ball and it slows down and u can move the recivers hands or catch it with one hand.
--------------- Madden 2007 Next Gen football ---------
o and they should have a better halftime show at the superbowl

I would really like to see more options with the QB vison like a button to go to the next read or to automatically switch reacivers during your read so your not just locked onto on or fighting with the joystick to throw a quick pass


*NOTE FROM CASH*-There is a button...

I like Madden but one thing that kills me is franchise mode. I like to go deep in franchise mode like 10+ years but I always have to start over because after about year six the game gets way unrteal;istic and the other teams fall to crap. Some examples are:

1. After a couple years no good players come out the draft.
2. Players rarely develop in to superstars from other teams after a while. It is like every year you see a new guy in the Pro Bowl.
3. Guys have seasons when they rush for like 1,700 yards but they still remain like a 81 in their overall ratings and dont get better (this happens to computer controlled teams usually.)
4. When guys retire you can never see their stats again or no Hall of Fame
5. If you win three Super Bowls your coach retires. You should be given a choice to retire the coach.
6. The awarding of awards sucks. I've had multiple seasons when one of my players has 25 sacks but he lost DOP of the year award to a LB that had 130 tackles that is just too UNREALISTIC. After a while in franchise you see guy making the Pro Bowl with like 8OO yards rushing and 5 TDS.
7. Once you get deep into the franchise mode you never have other teams having huge years really no throwing for like 4,000 yards.


So in general I think Madden needs to improve their franchise mode so that after six or seven franchise years the rest of the league doesn't;t get mediocre and you have the only team worth a damn. I'v been playing this one franchise 9 season and I think I'm going to start over because my team is like a 95 and the rest of the league is 85 tops and stuff like that. It makes it less entertaining after a while.
