1. Slide Protection
2. Smart Routes
3. NEW Playbooks (we've had these for years now)
4. Spectacular catches/jetpack/rocket catch OUT. No offensive strafe.
5. less fumbles (may have been fixed by pathc)
6. no 2 lineman glitch
7. Scrap the weapons - it's very cheesy and arcade like. We want realism. In real life, I don't see Manning with a lightbulb over his head...


more to come..

formation shifts and slide protection

List of the century


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!!

i agree with a lot of that but i feel aqs if the fumbles are justified i mean is it really that hard to protect the ball, the buttons there for a reason... But the weapons should be modified if they want to keep them. Like even though peyton manning's lightbulb may fill up after seeing a play 3-4 times quarterbacks with say 80 awareness should be able to fill theirs up even if its after 7-8 times instead. its kinda unfair but it can easily be fixed.
