I usually doubt madden but not this year, not the way they've been hyping cfm since the last game released

i love that carousel idea.

i'd predict more financial tools as far as contracts. Team AI as far as contender, buying, selling and rebuilding(Ala 2k). with that, teams more correctly identifying their needs. who to let go and who to shop for in Free Agency.

I'm going to remain skeptical at least on a CFM front until I see it. If the CFM blog comes out and starts talking about things like position coaches/coordinators, 90-man rosters, 500 player draft classes, RFA's, and things like that then I'll be buying the first ticket on the hype train but until then I have to remain skeptical. The gameplay team is great though, I can't knock anything they've done or the path they're taking and they're doing a phenomenal job.

Natural progression that isn't tied to XP. I loved the idea of XP a year ago but look how FIFA does it- based on performance. It works excellent in those games and I think it should be switched to Madden as well.

Not a Fifa player could you elaborate on how performance ties to xp? In madden they give you XP for hitting certain milestones during the season.

Spoiler

Yeah, that sounds like I wishlist, but basically I want every game that I play to be equivalent to NBA 2K's MyLeague and the majority of my list is already in 2k. Now it's time for Madden to start getting there, as well.

What it should be:
Practice Squads
Expanded coaching staffs (at least OC, DC, and STC)
Coach carousel
Formation subs and custom packages
Tiered injury system (probable, questionable, doubtful)
Special teams depth chart
Actual game ticker at bottom of screen during games
Hidden development and rookie ratings until end of rookie preseason.
Training camp and offseason workouts actually represented (let us game prep during that time at least!)
Ability to fully edit draft classes, players, and coaches
Detailed contracts (front load, back load, stat based incentives, extensions and pay cuts)
Player morale and attitudes (the QB I just benched should be upset and want to move teams, vet like Fitzpatrick has a good season and feels he's getting lowballed and does not return to the team)
Position battles
Re-done simulation engine
32-team control at press of a button
Allow for CPUvCPU/watch any game during the season

What it will be:
New game prep features
32-team control at press of a button
Touched up simulation engine
CPUvCPU
More ways to gain XP
Formation subs
Maybe coaching staffs
