What can Madden 11 learn from Super Bowl 44?

Then there is a route combo sent to the other side, along with protection. You're right, there is a lot of communication, I just dont' think it's specific as you're saying. Half of Manning's antics are a charade anyway--the players know what they're doing. In Madden every time the QB changes a WR's route, he does communicate it to him. Same with pass protection--there is communication.

Correct

Huh? Joe Montana never made any mistakes in the four Super Bowls he won. (but in all seriousness, robo QB Manning or Brees were not)


On topic:

I agree with the sentiment. The hype is so important, especially for the Super Bowl. Presentation.

Also, though, I think they need to pay special attention to the fact that it is possible to stop the very best offenses from scoring on long bombs every play if you play very conservative defense, like both teams did for most of the night. It should be possible to make even the best QBs work their way down the field if you are willing to sacrifice short yardage for stopping the big play.

you guys are pretty much hitting everything on the head. they need to increase the atmosphere big time. Regular season games should feel alot different than pre-season/playnow games. Playoff games should feel alot different than regular season ames, and the super bowl should feel alot different than all of them. there should be a reason why i wanna go to the super bowl, and then win it. it should feel like an accomplishment and when playing the game I just feel like im in the superbowl. presentation and atmosphere are huge, and madden just doesnt have it now

Pre-game huddle chants, ie. Brees pumping up the team.

Make the Superbowl have cutscenes, interviews, etc. that we don't see in any other games. Basically make the Superbowl show us things that we just don't see in any other game.

After we win the superbowl, going into the next season, we shoud hear about how our team is the defending superbowl champs(assuming we won the superbowl game), we should see this in our players accomplishments.
Give us a trophy, a banner, or something that makes winning the superbowl worth doing more than 1 time.

they need to accurately depict Peyton Manning's "Happy Feet"

Have a banner raising/revealing the next season too. so much presentation could be there...

I have a question for us.

How many people play the playoff games and Superbowl?

I do not. It doesn't feel any different than a preseason game. There is no extra incentive to play it.

What could an incentive of playing the playoff game? How bout extra progression for the off season? Maybe bump that "B" rated player to an "A" potential.

Just an idea.

I like alot of the ideas in here

Great idea!
I felt this way when I won the Superbowl w/ the Redskins(84 overall team) and I was expecting the players that performed well throughout the playoffs and the Superbowl to progress more so. Nope, they didn't.
I'm pretty sure when Madden 11 gets finished, the Saints and Colts are going to be 2 of the highest rated teams in the game.

So do the same for us during franchise mode, give our players a bigger ratings boost for doing something when the games counted the most. That would be a nice incentive for me, along w/ the other things I mentioned.
