In no specific order, here's my Madden 18 wishlist

Posted on November 27, 2016 at 03:17 PM.

A separate sim tuning set for those who want a sim game, including officiating errors that can then be challenged and overturned. A looser, more relaxed tuning set for those who want a sim/fun experience and another for the all-out arcade experience.

A complete TV broadcast presentation without the XP overlays and more tv style stat screens, versus the current presentation for those who enjoy that.

Visible penalties - in FIFA I can see one player pull the shirt of another, in Madden make a hold visible, a pass interference obvious so you can actually see it during the replay and penalties/fines in franchise mode for a hit to the head.

Off/Def coordinators in franchise mode with dynamic strengths and weaknesses - hiring them should genuinely influence player progression, practice sessions, play calling tendencies etc.

Create player personalities that then evolve into conversations and affect morale/trust between them and the head coach, that ultimately influence their likelihood of re-signing with that team.

Robust contract mechanic - the ability to front load or backload a contract deal. Team and player options towards the end of a deal.

Weekly radio show summarising scores and news (like MLB The Show). I bought that a highlights show was hard with loading different stadia and this removes the need to accomplish that but adds a whole lot of immersion to the season.

A VIP style log of playcalling tendencies (maybe, like the 2k VIP system, let me download a friend�s VIP and play against it).

Less generic social feed in franchise mode and much more content.

Signature styles for players and custom celebrations (like NCAA used to have) - let me choose if I want to run over to the stands and do a Lambeau leap or dunk over the crossbar and take a penalty for taunting. Also, a game winning play should trigger the kind of reaction you would expect with plenty of players joining in.

Ticker in the franchise menu, with news updates from around the league. The real life ticker in franchise mode achieves nothing.

Expand the game planning feature to account for more than just a couple of players. If players or individual plays don�t get much attention, that should have an effect if they are used during the game.

Hall of Fame game, voting during the later part of the season.

Pre-draft/end of college season rookie/prospects game.

Chain gang on close first down calls. Surely�.

An auto generated compilation of highlight clips per player in the post-game show� let me choose if i want to see all of the big plays Dez Bryant made or throws that Dak Prescott threw.

Proper coin toss. Surely�.

Pre-game show talking about key matchups, hype a WR/CB duel like Bryant/Norman or talk about an upcoming milestone (Elliott is 50 yards from a 1000 yard season).

Interrupt a franchise game with the score update from a game being played elsewhere�.

Different presentation if it�s a Sunday night game, a MNF game or a Thursday game.

An injury profile based on current injury history - makes a player more susceptible to recurring injuries of a certain kind.

I wanna see a difference in preseason play compared to regular season ya know. Like the announcers she talk about young guys trying to make squads the stands should have like few people or whatever basically it should "feel" like its different than regular season. And another thing pratice should be IN PRACTICE GEAR didnt mean to shout lol but yeah nobody practices in their gameday uniform I assume. that would be cool to see just shorts and helmets or factor that in somehow cause then it would be even more real just tossing my 2 pennies in there.

True about the practice gear and the commentary has made such an improvement it should be something they improve on to differentiate between preseason and even postseason.
