My Top 15 from list
1. OL/DL Refactoring
2. Quarterback Ratings
3. 5,6,7,8 Man Interactions
4. Realistic Tackling- More wrap ups, less WWE tackles
5. WR/DB Refactoring
6. Hum QB Awareness
7. Retool Franchise Progression
8. Pregame-Halftime-Postgame Shows

10. Multiple Pre-game/Post-game sequences accounting for regular season, Post season, Superbowl circumstances
11. NFL Network/ESPN In-Game Presentation
12. Custom Stadium Sounds
13. Custom Playbooks
14. Weekly Highlight Show
15. Spectator Mode Online

There seems to be only one franchise mode demand in that list(two if you include weekly show). Overall, franchise mode needs to be a top priority. It should have a major upgrade like 2004-2005 Maddens had for Madden 2010. Presentation also needs some work to make it feel more like your watching a CBS/FOX/ESPN broadcast. As well stadium upgrades with more crowd and sideline integration (such as cheerleaders) to improve NFL atmosphere.

Therefore,
My Extra Top 10:
1. More depth in Training Camp
2. New negotiation system
3. Weekly preparation system
4. Owner Mode
5. Practice Squad and Inactive Players
6. Weather and environment impact on gameplay
7. Refs & Chain Gang
8. New Scoreboard System
9. Group Celebrations
10. Injury presentation improvement

Here are links two categories from my wishlist last year which are more detailed yet relevant:

1.Online franchise mode:
This would be the greatest mode to ever be made in a football game of all time next gen gaming is online. I have a ideas on this and would/could work ill post it sometime

2. Euphoria engine: see GTA4 for a perfect example
you could use the eurphoria engine in madden in soo many ways
Tackling:big hits,gang tackles,fumble pile ups,wrap tackles,hits in mid air,defensive player on ground attempting to reach the ball carriers ankles/legs to slow him down etc etc.
players balance: balance after being hit(not hit hard enough to be tackled ballcarrier attempts to regain his balance),sideline catches,sideline running(tip toeing the sideline) bumps,shunts,trips,falls etc.
ball physics: realistic ball wobbles after being blocked/tipped,squib kicks bounces,fumble bounces,kickoffs,punts,punts bounces,onside kickoffs bounces,
weather effects: players slips
jukes: more dynamic jukes,spins, with realistic defence reactions(defensive player goes off balance,slips,stiffs up,weakens tackle attempt/wrap tackle.
player movement: running animation more realistic.
wr/db coverage: legs get tangled up(trips both or one player),arm bars,arm tangles,bump coverage effects.
i could go on and on eurphoria needs to be in madden fact.

3. nfl fever passing: I was talking about this earlier and i think it would be great for madden and the vision cone and you could get rid of player icons
R2 = pressure sensitve passing,R1 = QB turbo,Right stick = vision cone movement,left stick = player movement, L1 = QB evade move.

4. QB evade move: see nfl2k5 or apf2k8 could implement a EVA/Evade rating.

5. dynamic weather system: i think in madden07 you had it to where it could rain hard then lighten up in the next quarter i like this for all weather effects however have the weather change more often in game not just when quarters change meaning it could be almost cold enough to snow but its not and its raining hard but it gets colder and starts to snow slightly then stops and its just cloudy and cold then starts to snow a few minutes later stuff like that would be great you could still have full games where it just rains or just snows no changing in the effect. and some games have it slightly snow all the way till the last 3 minutes in the 4th then it really starts to pick up and snows hard just imagine all the varibles in between the games.

6. overcast clouds: i dont know if there is overcast games in madden if not there should be its not always cloudy and raining/snowing you could also use overcast clouds then with the weather system i mentioned above.

7. player models height: the players just look to short in madden for instance lets say in real life theres a receiver whose 6'1 and in madden he is 6'1 on the field though to me he looks more like hes 5'8. the player models height need to be slightly taller in game. nfl2k5 and apf2k8 have the perfect calculations to the players height IMO i would use there way of showing a 6'1 receiver on the field if i was you.
8. running animation: the way the players run in madden looks really robotic/weird it needs to be made more realistic Euphoria could easily fix this.
9. QB drop back speed/speed: the QBs need to drop back more realistic some players are faster then others alas vince young vs peyton manning also if you are peyton manning you shouldnt be able to run 15 yards back, around in circles, then throw a perfect pass there needs to be more diversion between pocket QBs and scrambling QBs.
10. pocket forming/collapsing: i think pockets need to form better in the passing game as well as the pocket breaking down or defensive players sneaking through the seems to sack the qb. i liked apf2k8's way of pocket forming but there collapsing was a little to slow and it was hard to get any pressure with the DL
11. OL protection: the defensive linemen in ncaa09 seem to easily beat your Offensive linemen everytime i drop back to pass i find myself immediatly scrambling which i find horrible i dont know if in madden 09 if this is the same case if so it needs to be fixed.

thats all i can think of now.

The main things that I care about are gameplay issues... if the game isn't funthen what is the point of all of the specific things...

One thing that I would like would be mini games like in the old madden that work on wr/db, ol/dl, as well as lb/rb, so that the new animations can make these minigames fun as well as realistic... if you can make a minigame that recreates what happens in the trenches, as well as with dbs and wrs.. then it will be easier to make it look more realistic in the game as well

Also realistic gang tackling is a huge thing... it makes the game so much more fun if as a defender you can always run up and make a play no matter what animation the player is currently locked up in... plus some of the current gang tackling animations seem too happen wayyyy too often i.e. on pasta padres new cowboys video the same tackle happens on the first 2 plays

This is actually really useful... stick to the list I made, but link me to other things so I can build on what I already have.

[cowboy_kmoney]

1.Let us have a real life like draft.meaning give us the 1 round where the dude walks up to the stand and states who's being drafted and by what team.That person then walks up and put the hat on for that team as well as hold the jersey up and thats when those camara flashes would mean something.But also I would like to see a new drafting logic when you draft. make it to were we can draft players like real life,By letting us draft who ever we choose to instead of us knowing on the ncaa draft class whos going pro by there rating.This way we can bring light to who we draft.

2.Make everthing editabale hair,shoes,body,and everything else
to with madden.


3. I think we also need to bring in on and off the field issues to the game where players are kicked out the league and fined or sepended.

4.pretty much everything thats inside these treads thats been posted and asked for years ago.

5.Also bring everything thats inside nfl head coach over to madden next year.

6.True coaching changing by letting us create our own coach like on the old madden of 03.We should've been able to do this along time ago.Then placing him in the job openin screen and when he gets and offer then thats when you take over that team as well.

7.Make sure you guys put in how many superbowls a player has been to,By putting it on his stats along with the year it happen.also put on a players stats if they do go to the big game and win the M.V.P. make sure you have that on his stats. YOU know with that award comes and award show?

8.THIS ONE WISH IS TO FINALLY SEE EA MAKE IT ALL HAPPEN AND USE THERE RESORCES TO MAKE NEXT YEARS GAME THE BEST TO DATE.
