There are TONS of that could be made to madden. Don't get me wrong, i love the game, but there could be many changes to make it that much better. I'm one of those people that like to play franchise mode, so here are some things i think could be improved........
1. PLEASE in franchise mode make the salary cap realistic. I hate it when i can't pick up any good free agents 'cause the salary cap is in debt or about to be, or u can't sign an awesome draft pick. Then u end up havin to release ur best players to get the cap up....and sometimes that don't work!
2. Make the free agents signings BEFORE the draft.
3. Be able to have a longer roster and then be able to cut players during the preseason.......another thing...during preseason games actually let almost all the back-ups play instead of letting the starters play for 2 quarters.
4. I agree with everyone about how madden needs BETTER commentators, i mean c'mon, madden and al get pretty old after awhile, especially when they say the same things over and over again. Keep them for the important games, but for the smaller, less important games, have somebody else commentate.
5. I also agree on how the whether and crowd should effect the games. Like on ncaa, have like inexperienced players get rattled or something by the crowds. And for the whether, like rain, have like people slippin and slidin and bad throws ect. same thing goes if you have like the patriots play the dolphins how like the warm whether should effect the pats stamina and stuff like that.
6. I agree on how tony bruno gets old and how there should be like sports center or something cool like that that shows news, highlights, ect.
7. I think too if you upgrade your stadium that YOU SHOULD ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO SEE YOUR UPGRADES!
8. There should be teams that should propose trades to YOU instead of you proposing trades to them all the time.
9. You should be able to improve players while the season goes on, not only by how they play, but by doing drills, practice, ect.
10. I also believe that there should be problems like T.O. on teams and then that should effect your team and stuff like that
11. I think that you should actually be able to return punts instead of having to fair catch 9 out of 10 times.....i mean i can't even return a punt 10 yards, now that's pretty pathetic.
12. I liked the idea about how they should have a pregame, halftime, and postgame show, and how in the beginning of the game it should like show the guys getting fired up in the locker room or somethin cool like that.
13. I wish the gameplay was more realistic, such as defenders having perfect interceptions then it just like bounces off of them, i mean like once in a while it's ok but almost every time, that's just not cool.
14. The receivers need to be improved. They should be able to make amazing catches, drag their feet, go for jump balls in the endzone, ect.....this list could go on forever.
15. The jukes and stuff need to be improved too. I hate how the jukes are and how you can never truly "break somebody's ankles" or "juke someone out of their shoes".
16. The fans and the sidelines need to look REALISTIC. They look like clay figures for godsake!
17. The injuries need to be better too. Like the serious injuries should have an ambulance come on the field and things like that.
18. The last-second field goals need to be more realistic. You should be able to ice the kicker and that should make his kick power and accuracy go down.
19. There should be a more variety of tackles.
20. Screen passes and HB draws and delays should actually freeze the defense and most importantly...THEY SHOULD ACTUALLY WORK!
21. You shouldn't be able to just QB sneak it when it's 4th and inches or your on the goaline and make it......it should be more challenging and have like dogpiles and big stuffs and things like that.
22. The O-line definitely needs some tweaking. They shouldn't just stand there and pancake everyone, they should actually form a pocket so the QB can step up into it if there are rushers coming from the outside, because i don't know 'bout you but i always drop back really far.
23. During the offseason there should be like the scouting combine and you should be able to watch the prospects or maybe even control them. I also like the idea about how you should be able to hire scouting agents and stuff like that. Also i hate it when a guy, in the draft, is goin like in the 4th round but he's like amazing, then a guy in the top 5 is like average and below average, but then the amazing guy turns out bad and the top 5 guy turns out good even though thats not what it said on his scouting report.
Well, i think that completes my list
for now. All in all i just want the game to be more like real life, is that so hard to ask?
Thanks
Improvements
.............lmao!
