Re: 8 Features the NFL Made Madden Remove

I read the article and my take away is this - nothing in there that is of particular impact.


I may be wrong but it seems as though ticket sales are impacted by team performance, just EA is not allowed to show the stands being empty - meh I never pay any attention to the stands in game anyhow...


The celebrations deal brings up a huge point of irritation for me. I am fine with there being no celebrations that would be flagged - but the fact that I have no control over celebrations at all is dumb. Edit player should include "NFL approved" celebrations that I can assign to different buttons. once a play has ended I should be able to hit a button within a certain time window to cause the celebration. Hitting no button would result in no celebration (useful for when you make a great play while you are getting killed on the scoreboard). This should be in, if for no other reason than to kill the "cut scenes" which annoy the hell out of me. It is old tech that is tired and not even well done anyhow, so I want see "real time" celebrations that I have some control over...

Re: 8 Features the NFL Made Madden Remove

I have yet to see a document from the NFL to EA stating they must:

  1. Remove the proper tie breaker mechanisms from CFM
  2. Remove the proper calls from the officials when a ball is intercepted in the end zone so it calls it a safety
  3. Remove all fundamentals when it comes to proper tackling technique
  4. Remove any proper ball physics that resemble realistic bounces
  5. Remove delayed blitzes
  6. Remove Realistic player movement
  7. Remove all presentation elements that we actually see on TV
  8. Remove a realistic player progression system
  9. Remove practice squads.
  10. Remove the injury system that the NFL has along with statuses
  11. Remove the ability for to have more than one commissioner for a league
  12. Remove the ability to create a draft board for when league members can't make the draft
  13. Remove the ability to play scrimmages with your online franchise roster
  14. Remove proper gap control and assignments from player sense
  15. Remove any quality commentary
I'm sure I missed a bunch here. Apparently this document that states to remove all of these items has been issued to Tiburon, we just haven't seen it or heard about it. However, we've certainly seen the proof that this document was indeed sent!

Re: Eight Features the NFL Removed From the Madden Series

I bet that the NFL will only allow us to play one game a week next year.

Eight Features the NFL Removed From the Madden Series

Wish the NFL would make them remove MUT under the condition they can bring it back after they fix other issues that have been requested since I believe 2005.

But Honestly though I don't feel as though any if them are really game breakers for me

I still think a Next Gen Football Game that allows you to customize everything from a web based system and import it into the core game would be perfect. Because no one is selling the teams or logos, they are just sharing or using their own created ones you don't have to follow the NFL rules. You can build a game with all the controversy you want. It represents American football, not the NFL. give different formats, High school, College, Arena, Canadian, Professional football. Custom or template stadiums, Custom playoff formats, Custom ranking systems, Custom drafting or recruiting dynamics. I just think that people would be interested in something like that. I pledge if i were to ever win the lottery, i will have this game built

I don't think it didn't sell because of that. I think it didn't sell because people couldn't play it like they play Madden or any other traditional football game, as well as it not having the NFL stamp. I think if NM would have given the option to adjust the camera yourself, and provided better player models, the game would have done a lot better. I don't know why they were so stubborn to give users options.
