Madden/NCAA..what features do you think they should have?

[HoopsDemon12]

I'll be the first person to say i love playing madden and ncaa football games...but there are some areas and features i really wish could be added.

A Clutch/Choke rating....like say a Qb's vision cone gets smaller are maybe his accuracy gets turned down a bit once they hit a playoff game or a critical situation in a tight game...such as tom brady would get better and someone like Chris sims would get worse giving you more of a challenge. Or you give it to Mr. Grandmama at the goaline in the crunch time and he will do a dive over the line of scrimmage or give that extra effort.

Changing difficulties....Instead of just picking a difficulty setting and heading out to play games wouldnt it be cool say if you were facing a team on a winning streak the AI would be alot better and thus the game harder. If your playing a team on a 4 games losing streak or a team that just got blownout they might be easier to play beacause of low confidence or could come out wiht something to prove. i think this would make franchise mode super fun and you would actually have to do the scouting stuff before you played to get a better feel for the team.

Gang Tackling....Im pretty sure they're putting in this years game bvut until its being read in my machine its on here. I wanna see 3 or 4 guy trying to take down someone like larry johnson and him pushing the pile forward and being forced back and he's standing still and urlacher just got a running start at him. If guys could go for the tackle and accidently hit the other defender of the ball carrier...would definatly create a fun game as you were anticipating whether you would break free( alot of the giving up moments putting down your controller, then struggling to quickly pick it up because you realize your still running)

Just a couple ideas. what are some of your ideas? i'd love to hear the feedback thanks

[hugegmenfan]

i totally agree about gang tackling- players should b able to recieve assisted tackles as well
also draw plays should work more

[Tubby]

practice squads

[bantx]

WR - Do a quick juke move to beat them off the line and control the wr for the catch.

DB - Same thing but opposite try to jam the WR on the line and force them out of bounds.

[MichaelJordanEberle (sabf)]

Give Shawne Merriman steroids and get him suspended.

[Vikes99ej]

Well, for 360 a Fantasy Draft would be great and it'd be cool if you could edit players.

[Chucky]

DRAW PLAYS, especially in superstar when u r an RB and they constantly call Draws that dont work

[njx9]

in all honesty, i should have the ability to override plays in superstar. if the play called is stupid (why is my team passing 84% of the time when i'm averaging 12 ypc in the 4th quarter with a 2 point lead???), i should have a chance to fix the situation (make it an audible call or something).

[Jimmy]

Arright, before all this crap, clearly the most important thing is trashing the whole defensive systen (especially pass) because controlling and steering players is like steering a ups truck with square wheels. the players take these wierd *** angles, and dive like 2 inches.
Second, if i take control of Antione Cason, i should be able to make some sort of play on the ball. Getting burned several times a game because i jumped a rout but failed to pick it off because he puts his hands up and down in a second isnt feasable. and oh yeah, when ever i play online, and someone passes, and i try to switch to user to pick it off, why is it that my Corner is always facing away from the ball?

P.S. EA sucks, they let 5'8 recievers catch balls in triple coverage in that game. As long as he is impact, i guess.

[TCU]

I like the idea of a fantasy draft, i love doing those. Also i like the idea of drawing plays and maybe a create your own playbook.

Maybe your just not good. and try clicking L1 if ur using a ps2 to turn around.

[Acreboy]

OK, Screen plays should work. I hate throwing the ball to my receiver who is has 99 speed on a screen only to have the CB beat him to the ball. The reaction time is not that fast. I would like reverses to work as well.

The impact camera on NCAA throws my rythem off. If i'm going in for a "manual" catch and the camera slows down and then goes big again it throws off my aniticipation for the catch.

Draw plays never work so I take them out of my playbook.

In superstar if i'm a RB I still want to be able to call the plays and what not. Sucks.

[skarocksoi]

They need to impliment the concept of mass. A large player takes up a certain amount of space while a smaller one does not. You cant run the 3-4 effectively in Madden because your nose tackle never gets double teamed. If I have a 340 pound DT with 98 strength he should be able to plow through a smaller, weaker center unless he is doubleteamed. This would also help tackling because with mass comes momentum. So if my 220 pound running back with 92 speed doesnt get trucked by a 130 pound CB. It's really a simple concept.

Also, now that they beefed up the blocking, they need to do something for the Dline. Its too easy to get knocked over or completely engulfed by a blocker and you cant put a move on them anymore.

And Franchise mode needs to be completely overhauled.

[NIN1984]

Yeah they need to have edit player on 360 Madden

[HoopsDemon12]

Another one is the computer corners need to have better awareness... i mean have you ever seen a corner try to catch the ball 10 yards behind the reciever? Like it doenst matter whether champ bailey is your starting corner or ahmad carrol is...i mean they get burned so hardcore....please put somehting in the helps us make plays on the ball and make a lock down corner and actually good corner....not a highschool kid out there pretending to be on a nfl team i mean come on

[Boston]

Rework the ratings, make them out of 200 and add more. Also, they need to increases speed, or decrease it, depending on the player. There's not one guy in madden that can completely blow by everyone, and cut off all angles.

[Philliez01]

The one that drives me up the wall is if say I have Robert Mathis coming after the QB (Brad Johnson for example) and Mathis appears to sack him but the ball just gets out of his hands and goes straight down. I'd like to see the ball go up in the air, off to the side, etc.

[Shiver]

They need to design an entirely new engine, that allows for gang tackling, and a true next gen look.

[BuckNaked]

There was already one of these threads a couple weeks ago

[jballa838]

greatest idea i have ever heard
ever
in my entire life

[dabears10]

For NCAA, they need to learn how to use the replay system. I will be sacked and throw the ball forward and they call it a fumble. Then they just check if the Knee was down.

They also need to revamp the recruiting system into a time arrangement format. There fore you can't recruit all over the nation as easily, and you can meet many players say from florida or texas.

I also believe that it would be a nice idea to interview/persuade recruits into coming to your school. This would be MUCH more immersive and make it alot more interesting then just clicking points and focusing on one topic.

Many others will come to my mind but those focusing on NCAA will be more prevalent then Madden.

[rainbeaukid2]

revamp the superstar mode for the 360, at least i think that they need to

[Go_Eagles77]

I would love a fantasy draft as well as gang tackling

[jagsfreak27]

Feature where you have to make a living as a coach instead of a player

[Beans]

expansion draftexpansion draftexpansion draftexpansion draftexpansion draft

[neko4]

Madden-NFLE in franchise mode, be able to allocate players there, play the games if you want and pickup pre-exisitng and comp generated national players. Practice squad would sound good too.
NCAA-add in that simulation thingy on madden, makes things easier.
Both-Gang tackling and better simulated stats, i see players on different teams (like a CB for example) have 25 tackles at the end of the season

[YAYareaRB]

Ability to send your players to NFL Europe as well as get a player from NFL Europe.

[Caddy]

Fantasy drafts and Practice Squads seem like good ideas

[RaiderNation]

they need to combine nfl head coach and madden into one game. gang tackling. graphics. better nfl drafts. for example- they had rookie qbs with 80 speed but acceleration and aggility are in the 50's.

[hugegmenfan]

Feature where you have to make a living as a coach instead of a player

there is already a game like that: head coach for ea sports

[neko4]

Also draft advice tells you to pick a Qb or another position again and again.
DII and DIII teams should be added to NCAA and be able to play DI-AA teams in their own league and allow them to get bumped up to I-A if they do really good

[neko4]

Situational Depth charts? Players you want out on zone and man coverages and such

[rainbeaukid2]

have the stats be realistic for madden and maybe ncaa. i hate how if i play all of the games in the season, my leading tackler will have 55 tackles or some absurdly low amount

[RaiderNation]

ya when i play madden i never get tackles with my lb's so they have like 50 a season and all the others have 150. soemthing needs to change there

[neko4]

Also maybe a dual RB system cuz all the teams are doingg it now

[fenikz]

one thing that has always bugged me is that when a player is a few inches away from a 1st or a TD they wont stretch out for it, they just fall

[rainbeaukid2]

Also maybe a dual RB system cuz all the teams are doingg it now

you can make it so that your first and second string RBs split carries already

[Big Mike]

they should have shoe endorsements like Nike and Rbk etc instead of endorsements like sweat shoes for Madden. If NBA Live and 2k7 do it, why cant they.

also i think each team should have they own difficult rating that schages based on the players they have and based on which team you are using,

EXAMPLE :
Chicago Bears - WHile You're Playing Defense - Pro
While You're playing offense - All Madden

+ For 360 and PS3 they only have like 4 authentic shoes.

Yea. Also the cornerbacks have such horrible AI and awarness for the user, especally dring playaction plays.

[stephenson86]

Gang Tackles And Assisted Tackle Counts

[neko4]

you can make it so that your first and second string RBs split carries already

When I simulated:
the cpu never does it though. I had set it so that the #1 got 60 and #2 got 40% of the carries but the #1 always had like 25 while the #2 never got any.

o, then i don't know. i usually play all of the games so it works for me
