I know...but its what I need

I am currently flatlined regarding Madden. I finally recognize what MY issues are with Madden and why I enjoy NCAA College Football so much more. I am mainly a dynasty/franchise player. Madden for all of its graphical glory has no life. I need the ability to name and make my own coach who's record follows him(or her) wherever he goes. I need players who demand more money if they play well and threaten to not play. I need more flexibility in contracts (bonuses, frontload, backload)and negotiations. I need the significance of games to be apparent as the playoffs approach. I need playoff atmosphere. I need the coaches' record to indicate winning the division, conference, and superbowl. I need a better draft.

Great teams with great personnel should crush bad teams. Bad teams with bad personnel should play....bad. Shutdown corners should shutdown receivers or in the least make you wary of throwing their way. If I draft/sign shutdown corners then my pass defense should indicate this. If I draft/sign defensive/offensive linemen that are great then there play on the field should indicate that the are great. If I upgrade personnel then it should show on the field.

Job offers and Job dismissals for my created coach based on the record. I'm not asking for much. LOL

Re: I know...but its what I need

Well franchise will be much improved... I imagine they will import alot of what Head Coach had right into Madden. I don't honestly think anything will change in regards to a playoff atmosphere. I could be wrong and hope I am but I just don'tthink thats at the top of the prioity list. We know that the graphics will be much improved, gameplay will but improved as well as presentation and a Revamped franchise mode. I do agree that playoffs need a better atmosphere though.
I think they should also have an Exp stat for playoffs. Like for players who have been to the playoffs and loss it would add 1%. Playoff win adds 2% and superbowl wins add 5%. Each players playoff Exp would add to the teams stat. Players with little to no playoff Exp would not play as well in the playoffs. This would make the game more interesting as the team with the most talent won't always be the champs. IE 2007 Patriots, 2008 Cowboys...

It's not like the Cardinals have the most playoff experience and last year the Patriots had way more playoff experience. Some players are more clutch than others, whether it's their first time in the playoffs or 100th. If implemented correctly, it could be done well, but just sheer number of playoff games isn't a reliable factor for a team's performance IMO, it should just be a part of the equation.
