Prioritizing Ideas

[adembroski]

(for those of you that might be thinking "who the heck is this guy", been around since 2001, but I've been far more active on MM. This community has started to suck me in as well since the merger, so please don't think I'm some dude that's come out of nowhere... I'm sure the MMers on here will vouch for me)
Ian Cummings came up with the idea of creating a community idea database that would be submitted directly to him. I volunteered to compile it and he sent me a spreadsheet to track stuff in.

He did give me some leeway in terms of prioritizing, so I kinda wanna get everyone's feelings on what they consider most important.

Give me two lists, as long as you like... one with broad categories (gameplay, offline franchise, superstar mode, options, etc.), one with specifics (DL/OL interaction, owner options, player attributes, etc.) listening what is most important to you. I'll compile the information to come up with a system that will allow Ian to sort everything by priority according to the community.

I'll be doing this over at OS, please post in one thread or the other, not both. I don't really wanna take the time to sort through who posted what where.

I'll be spending tomorrow and Tuesday compiling the existing ideas from the various wishlists and ideas threads on both sites, and then I'll keep it going on the fly. I'll be getting Ian a version at the end of the month, then updating shortly after Madden's release. We'll do this again at that point so we can do it based on the most current version of the game.

EDIT: Lets do broad categories a bit less free-form. This gives me a base. Rank ALL of the following categories in order of importance.

User Interface
Gameplay- Animation/AI
Gameplay- Features
Franchise mode
Superstar mode
Practice/Mini-games
Roster/Ratings
Creation Options
User Profiles/Options
Settings/Sliders/Customization
Online- Ranked, Unranked
Online- Leagues

PS: Ian, if you'd like different categories, I'll change it, just lemme know. I just kinda built on what you included in the sample spreadsheet.

I looked over that thread... doesn't break it down enough, leaves out a lot of stuff, and doesn't allow people to get into specifics.

That said, I'll be referencing that thread for the spreadsheet as well.

The biggest reason, actually, was I want an identical thread on MM and OS. I've been watching that one closely since you posted it, it's a good start.
