If EA wants to make this game realistic and super fun the 2 major things that they need to fix with the game are: 1)Offensive Line/DLine interaction, blocking interaction, blocking AI and 2)Differentiating between good, bad, average, and all-american level players...at ALL positions. We should able to tell the difference between an average DL and an All-american DL. Right now I cringe if I pick a team and find out one of the impact players is a DT or DE...b/c all lineman play the exact same way. Just b/c a WR doesn't have blazing speed he can still be an all-american type player. He should run excellent routes, have great hands, and know how to get open. Poor receivers should run sloppy routes, hardley ever get open, and drop balls that are catchable. If these 2 things are noticable, the game will be vastly VASTLY improved.

AMEN! (: theres not just GREAT AMAZING players and then horrible players.

- Medical red shirts
- An option in Dynasty mode to switch to a playoff format
- A career mode (like CH 2K8) where you start at a bad team and move up
- Bring back the off-field issues and depending upon how you handle the situation it affects your integrity as a coach and possible NCAA sanctions
- Either improve Campus Legend or get it out

[pdiehm]

I want:

- Medical Redshirts

- Feedback on my previous weeks results from the recruits, and overall feedback from their official visit to my school

- Proper colors (ie: colorado's gold helmets) for uniforms. If a color is wrong, it's almost always too dark.

- Field detail. While the grass graphics look great, the color of the field is lacking. For example, Penn State has a brilliant green field in 2008 and in real life. In NCAA 2009, that brililant green is gone.

- Uniform options. Alternate uniforms are great, But have the ability to mix and match. Texas Tech, maybe use the black top with white pants, or red with white, or white tops, black pants. Also, Penn State has alternate uniforms, with Blue/White long socks (top half is blue, bottom white).

- Ability to set to all during EQ updates. For example, if you want everyone to have tight sleeves, have the option to "select to player only or entire team"...this is good for sock length, Shoe type.

- Some sort of celebration when you win a big game or the national title.

- Playoff option or Bowl option. This was an option in NCAA 98? Why not now? It's a video game, it's not real life, it'd be quite cool to select an 8 team playoff.

- Better human offensive line play. The CPU can get through you (even with sliders at 100 for RB and PB) but you can't get through them with their sliders at 0.

- get rid of JUMP SNAP. The CPU jumps the snap 98% of the time

- Create a school

- edit uniforms

- stadium upgrades (a 1* program shouldn't be in a 6500 seat stadium as a 6* program.

- Bring back random plays in practice mode. After every play a new random play is selected vs a new random defense. It's a great way to learn your playbook.

- Corso's recommendations...have him utilize the entire playbook...right now he only picks about 15 plays, and I leverage this feature a lot on offense.

- chain gang

- make the bands louder...you can barely hear them when a TD is scored unless you import sounds.

- Field degradation

- lighting...start at 5pm, should be dark when you finish.

- It'd be cool to start a game in rain and as the day moves to night, the temperature drops and it snows....or have it start raining and stop

- More of an effect for weather. RB's, and WR's should lose speed and carrying ability when it rains or snows. QB's accuracy should fall in snow...DB's agility should take a hit because of slippery conditions.

- Neutral/Bowl game endzone graphice.

- how about if it's raining on a grass field and a player gets tackled, his jersey gets dirty? now it doesn't show til the 4th quarter.

agree with campus legend. has to be more interactive or just get rid of it completely.

1. WHERE YALL AT?
I have played this game at least 100 times, and I have still yet to see a CONVOY on any special teams returned TD, or any defensinve pick 6! Looks good in the promo video though.

2. WHO'S WINNING THE GAME?
SPORTS TICKER underneath the scoreboard at the bottom of the screen. It should scroll at a moderate pace, and you should have the option of it being on or off, as well as all teams, top 25, or conference only.** In Dynasty mode, you should be able to view scoring plays of any 2 teams you choose, (replay engine can be used for this) conference only, and have the option to view or decline watching the scoring play in-game. (generic commentary from the janitor in the building is acceptable. LOL)

3. GOOD GAME, BUT IS THIS SCHOOL RIGHT FOR ME?
Feed back from recruiters visits

4. IS THAT HEALTHY GRASS, DYING GRASS, OR FIELD TURF?
Correct field color textures

5. HOW CAN WE BE WEARING DIFFERENT SHOES?
Player editing should have option of all or player only, when adding, changing, or removing player accessories (eye black, mouth peice, and hand warmer pouch need to be added)

6. HUT, HUT, HIKE!!!
CPU jump snap happens too often and I can usually draw them offsides everytime after I see they jumped the snap on my previous play.

7. IS EVERYONE READY TO GO YET?
Clear the stands when a game is sealed and out of reach in the 4th qtr. Not to be confused with a blow out, but no one stays for the final 2-3 minutes of a game when it's over, unless it's against your rival. Seats should start emptying out.

8. HOW FAR DO WE HAVE TO GO FOR A 1st DOWN?
Bring back the chain gang. It was there in madden and bill walsh back on the old ps and genesis consoles. What's up wit dat?

9. THIS FIELD MUST'VE COST A FORTUNE TO WITHSTAND THE WEATHER?
Field degradation.

10. SHOULDN'T IT BE DARK BY NOW? IT IS 8PM
Progressive lighting was in 08 and I read why it wasn't in 09. While I personally would've introduce the whole new lighting in 2010, I won't complain as long as it's in 2010 going forward, and is done correctly, according to time zone and time of year.

11. HEY I CAN SEE MY BREATH! A LITTLE.
When players breath, you should be able to see the smoke more. You can barely notice it on the game, but it's very noticable in real life. There's a wider spread when players in real life exhale. 2k did very good with this in their game.

12. THE FORECAST SAID SCATTERED SHOWERS & IT'S BEEN RAINNING/SNOWING ALL GAME!
Progressive weather i.e. snow/rain on and off, overcast with early, mid game, and/or late rain, or partly sunny turning to cloudy. You get the point. A variation of weather effects.

13. THEY MUST'VE PAINTED THE FIELD WHITE?
Footprints in the snow.

14. WHICH WAY ID THE WIND BLOWING?
Real time wind flags on top of the goal poles.

15. DID HE SCORE OR WAS HE OUT AT THE GOALINE?
Interactive pile ons in the end zone, like the old gen games.

16. HOW LONG WILL HE BE OUT?
Injuries should have more depth. When a player gets injured but is still able to play and walk off the field, you should get a pop-up on the screen notifying you of who suffered and injury. Then, at your leisure, you can go to the injury report screen and get more information on the injury if it's available. If it's a serious injury, you should be notified by the commentary team as to what the injury is, and what the players playing status is for the rest of the game (i.e. sprained ankels, neck ect. ect.) Official status should be available after you advance the week. **There should also be a combination 3 rehab activities to select as a rehab program for injured players (EA can determine the total number of rehab activities) for mid range to serious injuries, where you can choose a players rehab work out for 5 days, leading up to the next game, where you'll get an injury update and can decide to play the player, or keep him out. Attributes will naturally take a hit until player reaches 100% health whether he play's or not.

17. HOW'D THAT GUY GET ON THE FIELD???
On Field Substitutions!!! This used to be in the Madden games way bay in the day, on the Genesis console. WHAT HAPPEND??? There's no way you can be in a 2WR 2RB 1TE set, and go to the playcall screen, and qucikly select a play that uses 4WR and 1RB, and break the huddle, without someone leaving the field, and someone coming into the huddle! If this was done back on the Sega Genisis cartridge, how come it hasn't made it's way back onto next gen consoles, and current software?

18. CAN I GET SOME WATER WHILE I'M WAITING?
When you call a time out, the camera should zoom out and rotate to a high press box view, and show 2-3 water boys/girl running to the huddle to issue the players water, as well as the QB jogging to the sideline to meet with the coach. Once QB reaches sideline, camera should cut to a sideline view of coach and QB talking. (you should still be able to pick a play before the QB makes it to the sideline, as these views will now serve as the time out playcall screen view) Once you've selected your play, the QB and any sub players, should run back to the huddle, water boys/girl run off the field 2-3 second delay, and break the huddle. All while the camera reversus back (zoom in and rotate) to the original offense pre-snap view.

19. WHO THREW THAT FLAG?
On field officials please. Once again, something that was in old gen games.

20. ALL FG AND XRTA POINT BALLS KICKED ARE REWARDED TO THE FANS
FG nets please.

21. TIME TO POST GAME CONGREGATE
Post game should show media and teams empty on to the field to shake hands from the press box view, and the fans that are still left, leaving the stadium. **View highlights and game changing performance should be user optional to view.

22. HEY, HE CAN'T DO THAT AFTER THE WHISTLE!
Late hits. This was another fun way of taking your frustration out on a 24bit character in Madden during the genesis days. Currently when a player steps out of bounds, the play is immediately over. But, in the old genesis days, and in real life, players continue to run after the whistle and sometime become a victim of a late hit after the whistle, or out of bounds. I would love to see this make a return to the game.

23. YOU, MOTION ACROSS THE FORMATION! YOU, DO THE SAME.
Formation shifts and multiple motions. You used to be able to do this back on the PS. Would like to see this make a comeback into the franchise as well.

That's all I wish for this year. I don't think I'm being unreasonable and overly wishful. Do you? Happy Holidays and I'll try to patiently wait to see if Santa and his elves took anything I said into consideration, July of 2009.

[atlplayboy23]

Great list if even half of this stuff made it in I would be happy

[fenwayfaithful]

i think there should be a feature in dynasty mode, that tells you the important games for that week. they should also be rated.

[jacory12]

Yeah great list and they should also make the amount of fans more realistic. The games with bad teams have games that are sold out which doesn't make sense. I also think that there should be more celebrations and there should be different announcers. BRENT MUSBERGER!!!!!! He is a great announcer and I could listen to him all day.
