Ian Let's install a Good and Diverse TEAM Blitz System

[DONF]

Excellent post man - Also the atmosphere in the Ravens vid should also be implemented. The crowd was into the game and reacted to the hit and INT.

Good stuff.

Great ideas but I can't help but sound a little off-topic here, look how many times you mentioned 2k football. It really is a shame because I can't help but think atleast half of the things you mentioned we would already be seeing

Some of the ideas are there, but there are many ideas here that not even 2k had (although some probably would have made it), such as auto-motion defense, explosiveness, 14 different stunt tactics (although some were in 2k), ect.,

Anyways, I just thought about something else. When incorporating line stunts, I have already talked about aiming points, but EA needs to make sure that with line stunts such as Twists, with the DT's and Tackle Out/End In and End In Tackle Out, they need to make sure that there is always a penetrator and a looper. One guys primary job is to penetrate, the other is to loop. This needs to be understood on line twists as well as blitzes and other stunts. Sometimes a players job is not to get to the QB, but to penetrate and create space for another defender to get to the QB.

This is something I am waiting to see implemented better. There are countless times when I am controlling a LB pre-snap and know that my opponent is running the ball.. Most times I know where they are running the ball. If I completely sell out for the run play and take on the first blocker, one of my CPU defenders should be free. Another good one LBz.

The game needs a complete overhaul seriously.. plain and simple.. Good luck Ian on trying to Fix things for next year...

Agreed 100%. While all of these suggestions are EXCELLENT and needed to make this game be what we're looking ofr, sadly, I just don't see this happening.

There's a HUGE difference between being football FANS and truly understanding the complexities of the game. Madden is (and likely always WILL be) for the casual fan...people who enjoy football and like to emulate what little they really understand of what they see on Sunday (mainly the highlights).

I don't pretend to be a football guru by any means...but even with my limited understanding of the game, I can see the glaring flaws in the gameplay.

However, MANY of the Madden fans think the game is "just fine" as it is and only need some minor tuneups to be a true "sim". Heck, some even call it a sim NOW! So, odds are about a million to one that we'll ever see any REAL change to the fundamental Madden game we see today....sadly. But, we can dream.
