I think its as simple as bringing back madden franchise mode from 05-06-ps2 with todays updated graphics! Franchise mode had so much immersion to it on ps2; I still can play franchise mode today and play for 100s of hours b4 I have to switch up to those other awesome games we cant talk about on here! I just wish I could play my ps2 madden 05-06 on my ps4; then I would be set since no game has come close to duplicating the format and fun that came with those franchises modes!

Yeah man. No matter how I feel about Madden any particular year, I always look forward to the "hype" train, as it usually is more entertaining than playing the actual game. All the talk and video from the community is what fuels me nowadays, so I appreciate cats like you and the crew for the content.

Will it contain any of the following:
1. Real route recognition.
2. Real run/pass keys.
3. Pattern matching zone coverages.
4. 1-gap, 2-gap, and hybrid fronts.
5. Route based passing.
6. Real run fits.
7. True to life coverage checks.
8. Wr tags.
9. Conversion routes.
-and I could continue on, and on, and on

The way I remember the story is that the first three Gen-7 Madden games were train wrecks to the point where I didn't even buy them and actually held off making the jump from the PS2 to XBOX 360 on account of the poor quality of the game at that time. From Madden 09 onward the series started moving forward again, albeit having lost significant ground.

We will never know how it would've worked out for them on the 360/PS3 since their wasn't competition but I don't think you can truly write off the fact that the most highly regarded Madden was 2005 and just by coincidence they had competition that year.

I won't begin to argue that the lack of direct and meaningful competition Madden has enjoyed in the console football video game space is or ever was a good thing.

Personally while Madden has a lot to improve on, I enjoyed M15.

With that said.. Madden could be the best FB game ever made and I personally wouldn't be 100% satisfied.
I want more options as a FB fan. No game is ever going to satisfy everyone (Arcade, pick up and play to full on sim heads) so the more the better.

What's a shame is that even when we did have options I still bought every game so it's not like EA or 2K etc.. lost sales from competition... at least from me.

As an "older" gamer many of you like me.. there was an excitmement years ago when you'd go and pick up a version of a sport regqardless of who made it etc..
It was part of the fun of being a sports gamer.
Running home and popping it in to see what "This version brought to the table"

We need that back.... Big time.

As for Madden 16:
WR/DB interaction (I mean seriously releasing a game where the WR doesn't even attack the ball??? while the DB is all over it)
Better OL/DL interaction
NEW PASSING SYSTEM (Yes I ask every year and will continue to ask for this OPTION)
Real ball physics: Really tired of a punt that is boomed high yet hits the ground then goes into warp speed through the endzone.
Play Designer: Yes this might (will) lead to players working hard to create money plays etc.. However anytime we sacrifice things like this due to those "win at all cost" people, it's a step backwards. Restrict the use of them online except for leagues..?? Anyways this would help bring some memories from FPSFB days of spending hours creating cutom playbooks/plays etc..
Custom Formations HAS TO BE INCLUDED. If they have to take another baby step than at least let us edit special team players.
Little things like trash etc.. blowing across field on windy days - Illegal formations - bad snaps - Busted plays (Rookie RB going wrong way and a pitch/hadoff etc..)
Tiered Play calling!
Ability to export team to practice with them or at least an in CFM practice mode other than the XP/Confidence (which needs overhauled also) stuff.
I'm sure this thread has already or will have all my other thoughts but just wanted to get a few thoughts in.
