So like NCAA 09, he struggles to make adjustment calls, his route lines might appear wrong, etc. You could implement this into every position, a WR runs the wrong route, drops open balls, corners play the wrong zone, halfbacks miss their pass protection assignment.....and so on. Now with that said, I want to see less gameplay improvements in next years title and far more CFM & Presentation additions. Its time we have an engrossing singleplayer option like NBA2k.

I agree on the inexperience factor, but disagree on the less gameplay improvements part. I understand the point you're making, but the gameplay team is its own entity, that doesn't work on those other aspect of the game so, they need to bring it every year, regardless of what the other departments do, IMO.

The shutdown corner back shading the number 1 wide receiver features was in which game?

Suspensions/discipline- Last I heard, the NFL won't allow it in the game.

Tattoos- The players need to get permission from the artist.

I can dig if you want, but I'm thinking Madden 11, it just didn't work as advertised. The CB would play on different WR's as they do now.

I know it wasn't a feature they marketed.

Found it doing a search here:

It was in Madden 12 and removed, go to post #2 in this thread.

EA should tell the NFL when their players stop getting into trouble will they not put in "suspensions".

The tattoo thing, I read about but still fail to see how this is the requirement. Did NBA2k team get permission from every tattoo artist? Seems unlikely to me.

Yep, I agree here, but from what I've heard, the NFLPA is different than the NBA union. The NFLPA is the one that told the players to get the artist signed permission because the NFL was sued by a couple of tattoo artist previously.

Presentation improvements to enhance tv style broadcast...

- Add fake broadcast packages with overlays and logos for thurs/sat games, Sunday's and Sun. night/Mon. night.

- Being able to see under the sched what package your playing under for example on Sunday 1pm GB vs Dal (fake fox) the 4pm game is a double header SF vs Sea and the commentators talk about the upcoming game late in the 4th quarter

- They already utilize a fake CBS so add a fake Fox and ESPN/NBC. Just some variety will improve presentation.

Do we, the fans, even really care if they use the real-life tattoos though? I mean, it would be nice of course but even using random tattoos is going to be good enough for 99% of us. It's an improvement, if not a perfect solution.
