Presentation could be a hell of a lot better, especially for offline CFM. Names of created players aren't said, at least to my knowledge. Jarvis Landry broke the single game TD record and not a word was said about it. Little to no team backstories are given after Year 1 in CFM. Super Bowl still features no Halftime show; I wouldn't care if they got some nameless blonde chick to stand on a stage while somebody said "And this was just a few minutes ago during the *insert brand name* halftime show."
I know 2K is the go-to when comparing sports games, but their commentating system was beautiful. You had Chris Webber, Kenny Smith, and Brent Barry alongside Kevin Harlan depending on where you played. If Madden could implement a regional commentating system, that'd keep the commentary from getting stale.
If Tony Romo could give a preview of the next play, that'd be amazing.
I'd also like to see a panel, similar to that of NFL on FOX or CBS. Get some retired players and coaches and a third party host to talk storylines before each game. Offense allowed eight sacks the week before? Talk about how their zone blocking can be tweaked. Defense had two touchdowns? Talk about how important it is to have defensive scores.
It doesn't have to be this formula, but anything's better than what we have now. I like Gaudin and Davis, but there's infinite room for improvement.

Good stuff here!!!
They do have the framework in place though with Backstories throughout CFM, it's just a buried mechanism due to how it's presented, placement and no audio.
The "Tweet" mechanisms does a decent job with the going on in your CFM (again no audio) through storylines.
Again, the framework is there, just got to improve on it.
Definitely pay attention to the Tweets leading up to the draft, some interesting storylines/Backstories of Draft prospects being presented (I've never paid attention to them until the other day)
Adam Shefer noted a 1st round RB dropping in the draft to "off field" issues.
Issue is (as I've noted in the Concerned CFM thread) that loaded rosters are not in line with the Draftee rating levels, so this programmed Backstory is buried on a Teams the depth charts and not allowed to play a role in the CFM.
- I'm creating a roster to be in line with the Draft rating levels so that the Backstories can have a role (3000 players is a lot)
