-every time a HB uses the highlight stick it should become less effective on that play.(LT trucked 3 times ?? spun off a tackle and gave my last hope at catching him a stiff arm.)BS!!
-QB highlight stick (for QB's that evade 1on1 sacks )
-Jetpacking should be toned down a little
-online practice
- Defensive matchups
- 4 min All madden ranked online games (maybe even 3 min, 5 min SUCKS)
- Stick audibles and form shifts. Form shifts were fine as long as Smart Route was gone.
- No spec catch. Everything else takes SOME skill, spec is just dumbly OP.
- Not as many fumbles.
- Harder onside kicks, shorter kickoff distances.
- Run commit left or right
- Old school play calling and audibles.
- Better stiff arms
- SMOOTHER GAMEPLAY AND MENUS

Everything BTEP said, the #24 one had me rollin "make some noise for your defesne" lmaoooooooo!!! It is annoying at night especially the Vikings horn lol. My main gripe is simply chill out with the dam injuries i mean come on now, PS2's injuries are more relaistic unlike 360 where u have the same player get hurt like 4-3 times in one qtr thats rediculous lol.
-I think they should bring back the commentary as well i dunno i kinda liked it.
-Have corners have a chance against spectacular catch receivers.
- No superman Lbs
- Hardcore online ranked games.
Thats all for me i guess everyone else said everything .
1. no way every kickoff should fly out of bounds. thats dumb... lol hester and other great kickoff returners are pointless
2. add man lock on/off, and freeze d. coming out in certain sets and quick hiking people is way to effective because of this and you really can get exposed
3. take out all this crap with the d playmaker- totally stupid to have to press a button to playmaker someone, it should just be moving the stick
4. add quick auds/ formation auds- very annoying. hard to run multiple formations without this. especially at a tournament when u cant pause the game besides before the game and at the half without burning a TO
5. add formation shifts- putting together an offensive scheme is real boring. lack of creativity. see the same stuff alllllll day. gets old quick
6. smart routes- what happens when it is 3rd and 15- i can only run certain routes... again terrible really
7. slide protection- i love that random blitz angles are gone but cmon... how are we gonna have one without the other?
8. cut down on the injuries. the last two games i played i think i lost my whole offense for both games. garrad, taylor, and jones one game.. crumpler, jenkins, and white another.
9.there is waaaaaay to many fumbles
10.lets go back to the old school play call screen
11.Its time to revamp playbooks seems like they have been the same for quite awile
12. depending on where you are on the field, you cant see your outside receivers, no matter what y ou do
13.the mini camp drills on current gen(ps2 and xbox) seem more productive. I miss db swat and that one with a hundred tennis balls flying at you
14.please EA put John Maddens voice back in the game, he was a great part of gameplay
15.Enhanced Bump and Run. (Have a bump system with more than one option. Currently you can blanket bump the whole field. Make it so you can bump on one guy, back off another, and delay bump a slot guy from a normal preset position.)
16.make it so u have to use the qb vision and make the qb vision move faster
17.dont let defenders bump into each other before the play to jump offsides-this has happened to me way to many times in 4th and 1
18.on 3rd and short situations, the safety's play really close to the line, this is good in some situations, but i have gotten beat deep because they cant get back in they're zone quick enough, make this option avalible by bringing the safety's down (Y+down) then doing it again (y+down) but dont make it required for every 3rd down and short, its better to give us options and not force us to play a certain way
19.too many dumb penalties. my guys jump offsides for no good reason. pi is called on me when i dont even touch the WR and the WR undercuts the ball and misses on 3rd and 20
20.Fix the 3 down lineman glitch and the screen blocking glitch
21.At the end of the game the score is sometimes wrong because if theres a penalty on a score the game doesn't count it in its summary sometimes, but the main scoreboard still says the right score, just the recap you have at the end is wrong
22.Take out the jump snap feature
23.KEEP ALL THE BLITZING- random blitzing angles make the game less fun on d because it takes away control from the coach that wants players in certain spots at certain times
24.PA announcer saying something like "make some noise for your defense" every 3rd down gets very annoying
25.Possibly make it so that you can set what formations you can formation shift to and out of what sets, it will allow us more creativity
26.Mark Bulger and ALOT of other "SMART WEAPONS" cant even use they're weapons, this goes for players on the defensive side of the ball too
27.Substitution Options - Allow someone to sub in the formations certain players in certain spots on offense, defense and special teams, like crumpler as a wide out in shotgun normal
-ALSO allow defensive players to be matched up with offensive players- such as Champ Baily on Randy Moss all game
28.Receiver Icon Changes - This is another issue that should be an easy fix. Simply put - All icons should stay consistent - all the time. Within a formation Receiver Icons should never change. For example, some plays have the far right receiver with the B button, while other plays from the exact same formation have the same receiver with the RB button. This causes glitches in coverage. The running back should always be RB, for example. Also, there should never be a time when a WR lines up at TE and a TE lines up a WR. When audibling from Shotgun Normal to Shotgun Trips TE, you will see a TE move to receiver and a receiver line up at TE. This is another problem. The only way a TE should line up at WR or vice versa should be via a package or via audibling up or down (I Form Big to Shotgun 4 WR will obviously put different personnel on the field).
29.Defenders should stay as close to the same postion as possible when audibling - I touched on this above with offensive players - but it happens on defense as well. When I audible from 3-4 to Nickel 335 or Quarter - why do my defensive linemen change positions? All three are defenses with 3 defensive linemen, so all three should keep the same positions. However, when I audible from 34 to Quarter I Have a DE step off the line to play as a DB???? This consistency in positioning should be an easy fix in the game's programming.
30.Defensive Audibles should not change Ratings - As anyone who has played Madden for the past few years will tell you - it can be very difficult to make tackles if you audible from a formation like Quarter to a formation like 43. Here's the problem with this -- If the offense comes out of the huddle in a Shotgun 4 WR set - it makes sense for the defense to come out in a Nickel, Dime, or Quarter set. However, when the offense audibles down to Goalline, the RB is still in the right spot, and the WR's seem to make blocks, but now defensively I'm at a huge disadvantage. If I audible down to a defensive set like 43 then my defense won't tackle. If I stay in a set like Quarter I'm too spread out to stop dives up the middle. What can the defense do? Just let me audible down without losing tackle ratings - please --- or penalize the offense for audibling down.
31.If a Package in in the Game, Let me use it - There are certain packages in this year's Madden that are worthless. For example, in the 46 defense there is a 'speed' package. However, when I use this package my defenders now won't make takcles. They bounce off the quarterback. If my defenders won't tackle, what's the point of having a package? There are other packages that do this very same thing and if you're not going to let the guys make tackles just take the package out of the game.
32.Save offline rosters and audibles so you dont have to waste 5 minutes waiting for someone to setup.
33.Fix the way we have to scroll through a whole list of shotgun plays to set an audible for 5 wide or a formation at the bottom of the list- ANOTHER REASON TO GO BACK TO THE OLD WAY OF SETTING AUDIBLES AND VIEWING THE PLAYCALL SCREEN
34.improve the MC prize AND GO BACK TO 32 NFL CITIES!!
GOOD READ!

I also want to see my teams players names pronounced,I dont want to hear #6 to kick off.
I dont like how the older teams never have the right name or # either.
Mark Rypien
Doug Williams
etc etc
I swear when playing the Vikings the announcer was calling one of the Vikings wide recierver."Flying Saucer"
When my PS2 went down I had to buy the GameCube version just to play and was surprised to see it never froze up on the after play videos like PS2 does.
And I dont recall any version having the band play "Hail to the Redskins" everytime they score.
I want superstar to be more realistic. I know ea is a diffrent company than the popel who make nba the life. but mke it more like them, make post game interviews, and i want my superstar to have more control, say if im a quaterback and i have bad recievers i want to be able to ask for better talent around me, and if my team wants to sgin someone and im the franchise player, they can ask me firstto see if i would match up with the new player they brought in. and also i want to be able to be more creative n the way my superstar or created pleayer looks, i hate having to pick a face and anot be able to change my hair ect. Make it as if i were a real NFL player unlike just some guy who plays in games
For just regualr game play I would like on sudnay nught games or monday night, bring back al and john so every big game you will hear them insteod of the radio annoucner guy, I would prefer if they had two people in the booth like t.v, instead of one like the radio.
I would also like to see the minor stuff changed, like tbig fat lineman on the sideline, have alll the players there, there are no coaches on the side line either, have camermen, referees, firstdown markers on the sidelines ect.
I like what Atlfan is saying, aside from the terrible spelling. Superstar mode is currently lame, but could be great. There is no point in making money because there is nothing to spend it on. Why is it that if I play terrible in the drills to create my guy am I still the number 1 wideout no matter what? We should have more opportunity to give ourselves a personality. And if you are a problem player and aren't playing that well you get cut or traded (without it being your choice.)
Tons of stuff to mention but I'll just say this one. Bring back where you can user hitstick WRs when they are catching the ball and make them drop it. You can very rarely do it this year, most of the time the WR just breaks the tackle afterwards cuz no one can be tackled during an animation, lol.
AND BRING BACK WEATHER AND NIGHT GAMES!

madden 08 was a huge disapointment this is what i think madden 09 should have
Graphics- have better gang tackles, and plus the players and stadiums looked cartoonish
Franchise- They need to have longer franchises, mine kept freezing after 5 years, plus alternate jerseys, create a play, just more things to do in franchise mode
Gameplay- qbs need to have better touch on passes so you can get it between lbs and safetys, less fumbles, better blocking
Superstar, i liked the 06 superstar better, it needs to be easier to do the drills like the 40 yd dash, i hate superstar mode
Presentation- get rid of the stupid radio guy, he's terrible and boring, get madden and al michaels back, and use the licenses, have pre,post,and halftime shows, and if i play on monday night i want to feel as if it is a monday night game, the crowd needs to be alot more loud and reactive to situations, and there needs to be refs, chaingangs, and the sidelines need to be more alive like a real game,
i really hope that madden 09 outdoes 08
dont make the the players like Ladanian tomlinson so overrated in my franchise hed rush for like over 2000 and 30 touchdowns every year, when i did something good w/ stephen jackson he would always do better and its impossible to tackle him hed get like 250 yds a game
