I'll make this as short and sweat as possible... for years, so many years now (like 6 or 7).. I been dyin for Ea to listen to a suggestion I had.. now this would be for both die hard all around football fans, from any playing level * High School, College, Pros.
I've always thought it would be a sweat idea for you guys to implement a new addition to the college(& Pro) levels... it would take me forever to put into words exactly what I had been askin' for, so I'll make it short... here goes.
In NCAA Football, hopefully the next installment... now there used to be a game called Super Playaction Football, where you could choose to play as a Pro team, College Team, and High School team. I so much wish that there could be a way your team could put together a package disc deal - in NCAA '11 or up, where you would get the new game, but a second disc containing just a little High School Football game as well (possibly with previous college graphics and gameplay).. where maybe you could choose from say between 10-15 teams from each State. They'de have default team names and colors, though if you knew enough you could change those to reflect either the all the top teams in your state or even the country. The game would reflect some of the real life powerhouses in High School Football if possible.. have manufactured names, like the names that come into play when your recruiting your players in NCAA Football, though again... if you knew enough, you could change the names of course. Could potentially be especially fun if your still in high school and your on your team, you could quickly type in real names.
You would have all the awards, or as many as possibly *real names or not, of award winners... Mr. PA, whatever... and stat updates for your district, state and country as well as poll, to go for it all. Then when all was said and done, you could take these players you would now be farmiliar with and export them into your other disc (which would obviously be NCAA Football). Take those guys, if say your Penn State, recruit the players you know well... or not so well * maybe even from your own high school!
Take those guys and the rest through your College Football, and sit back and remember the guys from high school who were standouts from HighSchool and draft them into your Madden Football game. I've wanted to be able to do this for so long, it's been such a big thing for me to hope to be able to do one day. Please EA, make the day come.
I know it sounds a bit far fetched and a whole lot of players don't care much for High School Football, though I know there are many people out there that enjoy the recruiting process and knowing the way you guys come up with ways in that department, you could come up with some cool ideas, as far as having college coaches show up to your players games in high school, maybe even to your house(if there would be a superstar mode for it, or even not)... especially with movies like "the Blind Side" lately, and kids seeing scenes like that. I know for one, I would love to be able to control all three aspects of a Football players ladder climbing. Hey who knows, could even add a JV team to each team, make those Freshes earn their place on the squad. GO FROM JV HIGHSCHOOL to PLAYIN' ON SATURDAYS to PLAYIN' ON SUNDAYS!!
Love it.... hopefully enough of you do too, as well as most of the players out there.

ps.. sorry, went much longer than I wanted to. Just really want it
