The little things they leave out that just annoy you

[King Gro23]

I will just tie it to a major category well two..
- Player interactions
- Environment interaction
Thats a big group, I know. Madden simply leaves a lot out of their games.

Since late in the PS2 days, Madden is the only game that doesn't let you see the defensive players names. This bugs the hell out of me. I want to see if my opponent moved his RE to LE or if he has a backup safety in instead of the starter or if he switched his CB's around or if I switch my #1 WR, is his #1 CB following him. These are things that I need to see!!! I've asked that it be put in for years and every year......nothing. To me, this is the single most annoying thing with Madden outside of gameplay issues.

100% agree. There is absolutely no excuse for this. It screams laziness and complacency. As does the dev teams refusal to address the dreadful system for penalties and special teams. Seriously, when was the last time anyone missed a FG wide left or right?

The biggest one for me though is the clock management and play calling of the CPU. It's awful in Madden and NCAA. Maybe it's improved for this year, but I'm sick and tired of the CPU throwing with a 2 score lead late in the game and calling time outs inside of two minutes deep in their own territory only to run a dive play. EVERY.....SINGLE...YEAR....it's the same ***t.

i never miss FG ever period... they need to add something that makes missing more likely

- Players not getting credited for a tackle if they tackle them out of bounds.
- In game saves

Create a Play
Pro Bowl Helmets
In game saves

There are so SO many more things but these 3 would seem the most obvious. Create a play, you could spend hours working on plays that would be yours and yours alone. In game saves, I really don't see how difficult this would be to put back in, considering it was in Madden 03...

I miss the Mummies, and the Praetorians, and Team Ecko.

When you change your player( pkgs ,goaline etc ) they should actually run on and off the field using clock time. This is how it was originally done on the genisis.
