I think more trait tags would be sweet for example QBs could have “streaky” so they gain and loose morale very fast depending on previous games, so in simulation u could be playing the 4-8 rams but Stafford has won the last 3 games and is playing up like 4 overalls

I like the way MLB the show treats this. You have the option of being notified when something like an injury happens and you need to choose if you want to adjust the depth chart or let the CPU auto adjust as well as if there are deadlines/roster moves that need to be done. It'd be nice if you had the option to have a reminder to make any trades at the deadline before advancing to week 9 as well.

I’d also love to see the CPU bench their players for younger “worse” players if the season isn’t going well. Like if Geno Smith isn’t playing well and the Seahawks are 2-6 they might swap drew lock or a rookie as the starting qb to see if they get a better performance. Or just QB battles in the preseason so that they might start a younger more raw qb but a worse overall because he did play better than the higher overall qb. They could even have an overall of like 85+ that the qb wouldn’t be benched.

Add a hot seat meter. Where you can see what coaches are close to getting fired & allow mid season coach firing. You can have team morale, roster overall, etc. factor into it & coaches on the hot seat can make more desperate trades for players. Being able to use the look for trade feature but having a choice to tell teams your looking for mostly picks or mostly players. Custom playbooks should be an actual part of franchise & let new coaches make there own playbooks Top 5 offense/defenses coordinator should be almost guaranteed to be poached where you have to try & convince them to stay.

I’d love to see them add players refusing to play unless you renegotiate their contract because they are underpaid. That way you can’t resign a player right before they get a massive bonus ovr boost and keep them for cheap. I know you can manually do this but still. I’d also like them to add the ability to change how you cover recovers. It would be nice before a game to set it so you always have a safety over the top on the best receiver. Id also like them to add a chance for good/bad things to happen each year. Like an injury bug debuff so like the ravens the past few years your star players are more likely to be injured or random suspensions. Id also like it if they added “personalities” to coaches. Like Mike tomlin is better at hitting on late round WRs, but they are more likely to get mad when not getting the ball. Or bears or browns get debuffs on drafting first round qbs. Also I wish you as the coach could choose how preseason games are gonna be divided up. I like having multiple back up qbs play in the preseason to see which ones win out to be my back up.

I 100% feel the positional terminology thing. It is absolutely insane to be having Rashan Gary playing as an off ball linebacker in a 4-3 scheme. However, it's hard to blame EA for not wanting to do this when most NFL teams and the NFL itself refuse to refer to players in this way. Look at the pro bowl voting, for example. When voting there is a "linebacker" section that includes both edge rushers and off ball linebackers. It makes 0 sense.

I think one of the things that would help the coaching thing is simply expanding down to positional coaches. Give us QB, OL, RB, and WR/TE on offense and DL, EDGE, LB, and DB on the defense with a Special Teams coordinator along with the DC and OC. I get that might be a bit much, but there are plenty of watching positional coaches every year to figure out who may get a promotion.

My wishlist XFactors for Offensive Lineman Stonewall- Cannot be beaten by speed rushers Immovable Object - cannot be beaten by power rushers Bulldozer- highly increased chance on pancake blocks on inside runs Lead The Way- increased chance of pancake blocks on outside runs and screen passes Players being unhappy with losing, production or being replaced and asking for a trade/ refusing to play until demands are met CPU to make draft day trades/ when a CPU team offers a trade for certain pick, game asks if you'd like to bid for it or have other CPU teams bid for it Stop having the CPU take players you want in the draft right before you pick if they A) don't need them or B) they don't fit the team. (Cardinals signed 3 75+ middle linebackers in FA then still proceeded to draft the middle linebacker I wanted. It was annoying). Create A Team Realistic Stats (Example Number 1 pass defense IRL gives up 177 ypg.... Number 1 pass defense in Madden gives up 220. That's a difference of almost 50 yards) You want a realistic game? Use Real World Stats Make Defense Matter!!!!! The average team punts 5 times a game.... Each team in my franchise punts once maybe twice a game. I know defense is boring unless it's turnovers but you can't have a realistic game if you don't have realistic things happening.

Great video. These are all quite literally the things I’ve been begging for when I bitch at EA while playing. There are a few things I’d like to add though: 1. Nickel CB & Long Snapper have their own positions. 2. More meaningful attributes. (ie: for a RB, add Contact Balance, Elusiveness, Explosiveness Inside/Outside Run Grade& make Pass Block ratings matter for their OVR. For a CB, add Technique, Instincts, Mirror, Match, Hip Fluidity, etc etc etc. It should feel like you’re an NFL scout) 3. The face tuner option that’s available in Superstar mode included into Franchise mode along side more face options in general 4. different body TYPES. For example, the only way to give a player a bit of a belly who doesn’t already have one is to increase their weight to 322lbs & there are COUNTLESS players in the NFL who are thick in the belly & way under 322LBs

Something I would love to see with OC/DC's. Each have a base playbook with about 100 to 150 plays that are in every playbook. (I know Madden thinks it's already doing this) then have another 100 to 150 plays that are specifically designed for how that OC/DC runs their side of the ball. Example an OC who prefers to use TE's heavily, their playbook should feature that. With lots of TE packages and formations. That other OCs don't have in their books because they don't feature TE's. It would force you to pay attention to who you are playing and what system they actually run. You should be forced to make adjustments based off of the matchup. (teams don't prepare to play the Niners the way the play the Bucs) Right now I don't care who the other team is or what their Personnel I run the same plays and they work just fine. If EA, was able to figure this out it would be awesome. Another example. If a DC is great at scheming to stop the run and has the personnel and skill tree bonuses to be dominant. The defense should receive major boost to stop the run. Where it becomes extremely tough to run on them. But you receive extra XP for rushing 100 + yards on them.

Great video, hit a lot of important points. Heres some i have myself. Coach play calling would be a dope addition, for example, if you’re a coach you can go into games, view them from the sideline, not be able to use players, but you can call the plays. That would be super immersive and sweet. I would use a mode like that for rebuilds all the time as a way to even things out. Simulation also needs a big revamp, a lot of players will do rebuilds and not even play, but it’s insufferable when you play as the cardinals and sim through the first year and they go 12-5 and win the superbowl. Its way to based on playbook. I get the importance of having a good coach but at this point it can be extremely random. I get teams have down years but teams like the ravens often have terrible records in my games, ive also had so many play throughs where i work on 3 or so seasons and build a 88+ overall team that goes 5-12. Again, i know teams can have good players but not play well but theres no givin reason for this, and you can switch playbooks around trying to find what works and it just wont do. I also feel like the path to greatness can be too linear, for players and for teams. Yes, theres regression but that often means theyre just old. And if a player or team plays bad they can regress, but in real life we can see a player go from a horrible year to a great one, or have a terrible 7 week stretch then play phenomenally. I just feel like the overall cpu players that are good and young just automatically end up being an upper 90 overall with xfactor. Some players in real life may end up being equal to an 86 ovr but thats where their cap is. Not everyone turns into myles garrett. Some guys end up being great players but dont become hall of famers. If you get a decently young player to 85 or so, and you play well, they will be a 99 overall if you play enough. This is especially true for qbs. Draft a guy and if hes like a 74 with star dev, if you play a few good seasons hes already up to a 99 because his dev trait keeps getting higher

Something no one really seems to notice, how about realistic player height depictions?? I’ve been playing madden 15 franchise and I always notice the height differences between players in the huddle and on the field. For example, I have Mike Vick (6’0) & Megatron (6’5) on the niners and Vick is noticeably shorter than the lineman, Megatron, Jason Witten, Vernon Davis, etc., and Frank Gore (5’9) is even shorter than him! I love this because it just enhances the authenticity of the game. This hasn’t been in any Madden since at least Madden 20 as far as I can tell. You can clearly see how they blatantly disregard this at 1:23 when Purdy & Trevor Lawrence are standing next to each other. Lawrence is 6’6 and Purdy is 6’1! They should not be standing shoulder to shoulder. I know this has been in every madden game since before Madden 16 (never played 17, 18, 19) so why is that something they can’t seem to get right anymore?! Maybe they just don’t care or maybe the fans are just to ignorant to hold them accountable, but this is just one of the many reasons why I’m not buying any new madden until simple things like this are back in the game.

Not sure I agree about the coaching tree, I know a coach is not going to be able to actually make players faster, but I look at Dallas where their DB coach Al Harris puts a heavy emphasis on reading and reacting and it almost feels like his DBs move faster on the field because they have a stronger understanding of where to be in the scheme, and I think adding speed can help represent that on the field. Also I can see how working with a "QB guru" offensive coordinator could help a QB get more out of his mechanics and increase his throw power. Maybe not by 3 points in a single season, but I can see 1 point per season, up to 3 so a QB can go from 89 THP to 92 by working with the same QB coach over his first three years in the league.

Tying in to what you said about the different coach perks, I think coach tags (similar to player tags) would be great too. These tags would essentially dictate which skill trees a given coach has access to, and help differentiate potential hires based on team needs. My quick idea of four tags that exemplify the coach archetypes we see across the league: Motivator: has the current skill tree which boosts on-field performance Guru: has access to the game planning and scheme-based bonuses you mentioned in the video Evaluator: has access to skills that reveal rookie ratings more quickly, as well as maybe grant temporary bonuses to acquired veterans who are a scheme match Specialist: has a skill tree that focuses on a specific position, and grants bonuses to scouting, development, and/or performance for that position There's the idea of having coaches "multi-class" as they go, and maybe even unlocking additional tags as they get promoted to coordinator or head coach roles, but don't wanna get too far ahead of myself here.

My one big thing, would be to literally copy and paste MLB the Show scouting into Madden. MLB has an awful franchise mode at this point, but they nailed their scouting system with how you can scout whoever you want, whenever you want, for as long as you want

Think it would be relatively simple to add tattoos in the game. Tattoos have been a thing in video games since the dawn of time. I know you can't get specific tattoos for guys because of release of artwork from the artists, but it would take a day for EA to hire someone to doodle 50 generic tattoo sleeves that we can use. Low effort investment that would that would GREATLY improve the immersion for me.

Want to talk about immersion? How about something no one really seems to notice, realistic player height depictions?? I’ve been playing madden 15 franchise and I always notice the height differences between players in the huddle and on the field. For example, I have Mike Vick (6’0) & Megatron (6’5) on the niners and Vick is noticeably shorter than the lineman, Megatron, Jason Witten, Vernon Davis, etc. and Frank Gore (5’9) is even shorter than him! I love this because it really enhances the authenticity of the game. This hasn’t been in any Madden since at least Madden 20 as far as I can tell. You can clearly see how they blatantly disregard this at 1:23 when Purdy & Trevor Lawrence are standing next to each other. Lawrence is 6’6 and Purdy is 6’1! They should not be standing shoulder to shoulder. I know this has been in every madden game since before Madden 16 (never played 17, 18, 19) so why is that something they can’t seem to get right anymore?!

1. Updated positional terminology: Absolutely agree. Sometimes I play in franchise mode with a fantasy draft. I completely agree. This is super annoying. 2. Fog of War for rookies: I hadn't really thought of this before, but I really like the idea. I think it should be for all rookies. I can tell you have thought about these things. I also like you idea of having some type of system to add undrafted rookies. 3. I like the idea of void year contracts and compensatory draft picks. It would just add another layer of realism. 4. I dislike overpowered items on the coaching trees. I always put the coaches progression on the slowest in franchise settings so the decisions you make take multiple season to really add up. But if you left it on default they would add up quick and especially if the upgrades are overpowered it actually detract from the experience. It sounds like they may have multiple announcing crews next year. That is still a rumor at this point, but seems more likely than not. Overall I think your proposed changes list is a very good one. It is realistic, but would add to the realism.

You know I'd really like to see more variety in terms of what positions you can play. Like maybe I wanna play as a kicker for a season or a fullback. Maybe a o lineman. I just think if would add more things to do and really change up the whole qb rb wr cb Lb etc. I have always kinda wanted to play as an o lineman. And maybe have a simple yet sophisticated blocking mechanics for o line and dumb ot down for other pos.

You hit it with the schemes. Let me determine the kind of players I want. Also, some kind of slider for run vs pass, aggressive on offense and defense that determines blitzing and going for it on fourth down. More player customization would be great too. There are so many things that guys wear in real life that aren't available.

1. Position Terminology 2. Updated Rating system (players improve in the off-season instead of the regular season, like 2k) 3. Separate abilities and dev trait. Why does how fast you get better dictate your talents on the field? 4. MORE PLAYER CUSTOMIZATION

I just found some info on reddit regarding position terminology. The new games are still being scaffolded on source code from the early 2000s. The position terminology is hard coded in behind all of that and it would be a nightmare to untangle. It's also why there's no long snapper position and QB's are the place holders. In my opinion the game has long needed to take a few years off and rebuild from scratch with modern technology and know how. Unfortunately the bank the game makes means that will probably never happen. I hope this info is wrong but it makes a lot of sense to me.
@ciscarshin97815 ай бұрын
I can kinda get what you mean by terminology. Like in PFF mock drafts, players are OT, DE, LB, etc, stating the area they play but not a locked position. So change all draft player positions to that and depth chart as well.

Would be cool to see dynamic ratings, dependant on how the players perform in the season the and there stats at the end of year they go down, up or stay the same. This creates a unique franchise mode for every player and every franchise created. This will also stop in year 5 seeing the same qbs be the best every time and would be more realistic as performance matters. Right now seeing ridder or feilds or pickett at the top qb's is ridiculous. They already have a ratings decrease when your plays are old so there must be a way to add something like this.

Everything you have said in this video is everything I was thinking because like you said about coaches and OC/DC on the hot seat or being able to be hired as a HC and being able to rename the OC and DC would be fun. The draft should be based like you said by Edge and LB and Pass Rushers it doesn't help not knowing until after you draft the player where they fit or don't fit. The hidden dev would be awesome the reason I agree with it is because I hate seeing Normal or when it's hidden how good they are

One thing you didn't say, that used to be a function of drafting rookies in around Madden 2007-2010, was for the ability to sort through scouted players after their combine stats are released and see who ranked where doing what. I used to find freak athletes that were just low awareness that I easily built up because of their play on the field. But now, you have to go through each individual player . Which makes it very difficult to get those rated " undrafted" and take a chance on them with a 6th or 7th round pick. Just an aspect I miss about the game.

So I think the way EA does the whole ratings Fog of War with their NHL series is very well done and similar in the sense that it gives different number of bars (0-4) that represent the accuracy of a ratings number. You can assign pro scouts, and amateur for drafts, and give them assignments to scout groups of players or specific players for different things like ratings, potential & comps, attitudes etc. and really makes the experience fun (and is why I’m playing a lot more of my NHL24 leafs franchise). I know you’re very busy especially with football season but I’d love to talk about it and how Madden can implement it to improve the product (maybe even for another video like this one)

I think if they added a new “position” called ‘Hybrid’ or something of the sort in the draft (would have an on/off switch in franchise settings if you want play with it or not) where players can play 2 positions on either side of the ball. Kind of like the ‘Athlete’ position on NCAA, and you have to decipher what two positions they can play best, you can develop them in both positions via skill tree, kind of like Superstar mode on The Yard. And have a specific tab on the ‘specialists’ tab screen on adjust lineup to assign a Hybrid player at which two positions they can play. Also have a sub package for them to play on every single formation, instead of the one like the TE/QB package for the Saints or the Deebo Package for the Niners. Just spitballing an idea, idk

I like all the coaching ideas i personally like to install playbooks and schemes and watch the team cpu v cpu i think coordinator spots should be more realistic like you said and should be an option to start in a franchise downfall is you dont get the 53 man say so or work your way up to HC and get control of 53 man adding to it the coaching carousel as a coordinator get offered a HC spot of another team or the same spot or if your HC gets fired a promotion to HC of the current team in turn getting fired yourself could result in teams bidding for you as a coordinator a combo of NFL Head Coach 09(called plays and saw your team go into action) and NCAA(coaching carousel and coordinator positions) and older maddens((Coaches had a position they specialized in and added little buffs like awareness/ tackling/accuracy)Which would be nice to specialize in a position as up and coming coach too and add your own buffs) would make the coaching awesome now to NFL Draft id like to see NFL Draft day trades especially when the mock draft basically tells you how the draft will pan out 90% of the time id like to see teams jump me or other teams to draft a player they like or want maybe a curveball draft pick a guy projected to go later gets picked sooner or traded up for stats of college players a week by week and CFP week too update of performance/injury/stats an Achilles tear could plumet a guys stock unless a team takes a risk early or everyone passes and now you have a bid for a guy a certain performance puts a new guy on the map so we adjust draft table accordingly

I think it's time for Madden to start treating the O-line as a unit. Their overall combined rating should determine what type of o-line you have. Even though their individual ratings matter. There should be talents that you can unlock based on how long that group has played together. Example of a potential talent. if you have at least 4 of your 5 lineman play 300 snaps together (just a random number thrown out) and say they have a combined run block and run block power of 95. They could unlock a talent called (closer) Where if you have a 14 point lead in the 4th quarter your entire o-line will get a ratings boost. where your entire online will become 99 overall run blocking. This should allow you to grind out the clock in the 4th quarter and force your opponent to do drastic things like run blitz to stop you from running the ball which leads them vulnerable to play action. Again this would mean the longer a o-line has played together the more dominate they would be. In my current season of madden I lost my starting LT and RT. I'm starting to rookies to replace them. It's not a issue. like it should be. I play on All Madden with the sliders set to favor the CPU. I'm still scoring the most ppg and leading the league in passing yards and TDs.. I even forget I'm starting 2 rookie tackles... It would be nice if it was something I had to play around (like Mahomes is currently doing in real life) also it would make me reconsider just letting my staring tackles walk in FA because I decided to pay my #2 WR and my Xfactor SS because I actually don't value o-linemen in this game.

I think if they were to implement Big Ticket item #3 with void contracts, they should have a toggle when creating a league to have the choice of a “simple cap” or “realistic cap” for those who may not want to have the complicated contracts. I agree that they should add void year contracts and roll over dead cap. Make it as realistic as possible. But a reason they might not have it implemented is so all ages can play and thoroughly enjoy it. But if they have a way for each person to decide between a simple or realistic cap, that would go a long way!

I’d also like the ability to choose your own weather, or set it to random for franchise games. Also, they need to revamp the practice squad so that you can add any players…even the veterans like they do in real life. It’s super frustrating trying to put a third QB on your PS for example… who may be a veteran so they won’t let you add him. You would think that would be an easy fix. Also for franchise games you can only activate 46 players like real life. The cpu could do it for you or you just manually designate players inactive. Additionally, you should be able to activate a practice squad player for one game like in real life. Another big thing I’d like to see is the ability to sit certain players for preseason games. It’s so frustrating seeing your star players come in on special teams or some wacky scenario in preseason. It’s terrible. If there are certain players, I don’t want to even dress up, you should be able to deactivate them for that game.
