By far the thing they MUST change is the commenator. I would rather have the commentary from madden 98 than 08.
The cpu AI has to be changed toward the end of the game. Way too many times they have the ball at midfield, down by 4 with 15 seconds left and they throw a 1 yard swing pass to their HB. Please, make them throw a deep post 30 yards down the field from shotgun. Even make them just go with hail mary every time, it would still be better. Also, i have never seen the cpu recover their own onside attept, and sometimes when they are down 1 score with 30 secs left they dont even try the onside. Both need to be changed urgently.
I think the amount of fumbles is pretty good, but wet weather should effect it more. There are way too many INTs; especially by LBs. Also, they should make the rate of blocked field goals the same as that of madden 07, they had it perfect there. Botched snaps and blocked punts should be added in.
Creating a superstar is ridiculous. I make a rookie QB and just throw a few TDs in the drills and my awareness is 98. That makes some rookie no-ones ever heard of smarter than carson palmer or drew brees...
New hitsticks would be nice, and definitely improved gang tackling.
Obviously, much better pre game, halftime and post game shows. And there should definitely be better atmosphere and intros to playoff games and the big one.
Lastly, you should definitely be able to set up situations. Can't be too hard to put in...
agreed.
also a big thing that im suprised thats still in the game on next gen systems is the whole "invisible force field". the ball gets stopped by the air. players moved out of the way of catches, ect. and an even bigger thing is how they have that whole player through another player or even the ball goes through people. you think by now that could have been perfected you know?

i know what you are talking about i hate when i see my tight end run away from the pass
Bring back custon routes for WR's that made game play much more interesting this is the number one thing i ould love to see come backk....
Change the way u choose plays for offense and defense because when u play on the same t.v u can tell which plays u pick unless you hide them...
change the way the players run make it so they seem like they are running with intensity instead of just moving there legs....
change the angles of pursuit there have been many times where people just run around me cause i have to do circles just to catch them...
make it so that the side lines are hyped up and they are into the game instead of them all just doing the same actions that is the most important one i really would like to see...
Again, perfectly said. Seems in the rush to beat Sony to the punch and drop the 360, MS and EA never have been able to bring it back to what we all still love, CG. STOP PLAYIN W/ OUR MINDS EA!!! GIVE US WHAT WE WANT!!
I agree with what everybody said, but for me, make weather more of a factor. I always get 0 mph wind and the 1 time I do get 20 mph wind, it never effects the ball, especially during field goals. Balls should be hooking hard during high winds. Also, what happened to the shadows moving on the field as the day gets late? The 4:00 games should be dark in Nov, Dec. And once the field is covered in shade, have the lights come on. It's hard to see the football during rainy, overcast or in shadows. Lights needs to come on. The 1:00 games needs to fade into late afternoon, the 4:00 needs to fade into the evening, (see NCAA Football 07). I thought ESPN Football did a nice job with clouds passing over the field leaving shadows as it move until it was clear again. You guys should look into that. I just think weather should effect how the game will be played out more. Of course if it's very windy and nasty, you're not gonna do too much down-the-field passing. Maybe underneath routes and screens. Do something more with snow games as well. Seems too plain and ordinary. Maybe where it was like the Seattle-Green Bay game. 1 qtr, you could see the field and by the 4th qtr, you couldn't see anything. Have weather conditions be variable where it could constantly changes. Sunny 1st qtr, Overcast by the half, rain 3rd qtr and whatever by the 4th, maybe even stop. Just my take on it.
well said every1, i completely agree with everything. in a nut shell, CG cameplay with ng graphics, thats all we ask for EA. i also like the idea of adding ur own music and stuff and the enhanced weather cuz it makes people change their strategies, it makes madden more competetive, not just randy moss jetpacking all day
