Madden NFL 13 Community Event #1 - Feedback Wanted

[TNT713]

Sup guys,

I'm pleased to announce that I've been invited to Community Day to look at Madden 13 and meet the new dev team. I'll be going as MaddenUniversity.com, but I'll be asking questions from several of the communities I belong to. Also, since I'll be representing so many people, I'll check things I'm not particularly interested in myself. So here's your chance to ask a question:

Be aware, there is an embargo, so I won't be able to answer every question immediately. Ask anyway! I'll check and tell you when EA allows us to spill the beans.

This will be the 2nd time I've been and there's a whole new dev team.
I'm excited to meet other passionate Madden fans!

Later

Madden NFL 13 Community Event #1 - Feedback Wanted

(Approved by Steve_OS)

Hello everyone,

As a long time poster on Operation Sports (formerly WTFitsDaveyJ) and current member of the EA SPORTS Game Changers program, I'm happy to announce I will be attending the first Community Event for Madden NFL 13 at EA Tiburon.

This is where you come in; as I know we all want the best game possible. What I'd like from you is a list of anything and everything (no matter what) you would like to see in Madden NFL 13 and beyond.

Those of you who know me already know that I am a Offline Franchise Mode fanatic, and believe me I have a huge list already prepared for that department (though you can never have too many ideas). While I've browsed the boards every day for ideas, the Community Event will cover the entire game as a whole, so anything Madden NFL 13 related is fair game.

All I ask is that the thread remain respectful to the game, it's developers and to each others' suggestions. Also note that from the time I get there, I will be under NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement), which means I can't talk about anything that is in the game until it is made public.

Looking forward to all of your feedback!

Dave S.

I know this may seem small to a lot of people, but in game saves need to be added to the game next year. It never fails when I start a game one of my two daughters always comes and asks me to do something. Please let someone know this is a must for next year.

Basically this. I'd like to know if there are any tweaks to superstar, online franchise, any new game modes etc...

Thanks Rzone,

I know you will be very limited on what you can tells us because of the NDA you will be signing, but do you plan feedback of what you are allowed to say after CD?

On the college side, there was a big huge thread with minimal correspondence from their first CD.

Tell the folks down there we just want as close as a replication as possible of the NFL. All penalties that are called in the real NFL, foot planting, double team pass blocking, DE's that rush the QB with higher sack totals than the WWE DT's, OL/DL interraction, no mirroring of DB's with WR's, better pass trajectory and weight and strength matters.

Also, above average commentary(not the train wreck that was Madden 12), half-time show, Extra Point, and immersion with Franchise Mode. Keep that puppy fresh from season to season.

Thanks.

PS- What the above poster suggested. We've been asking for in-game saves for years. It takes me 1 hr and 15 minutes to complete a game.

This will be confusing.

There is another thread, too.

Help!!!

In game saves, an off-season that means something- I.E. player/position workouts/battles. Maybe allowing us to coach the Senior Bowl. I think there should be some form of a coaching carousel involved. Draft Prospect workouts would also be nice, like maybe being able to run a certain # of players through drills to get a feel for them. In Offline Franchise- the type of players and offensive/defensive style's should be focused around the Coaches for each specific team. Storyline commentating that evolves with each game/ season and includes every possible player name in Madden. Roadman covered most of my issues aside from the ones stated above.

I remember recently you requested this information via twitter, are you using the responses obtained there as well?

Off the top my head
Ball trajectory
Better OL/DL play, more slide protection option for the OL. More stunts and twists for the DL.
Defense camera angle

Help!!!

Ask in both... I have my strengths, and I'm sure RedZoneD has his. simply ask the question you want of the guy you want to check it out. Nothing wrong with having two sets of eyes with two different perspectives.

For my own curiosity, I'll be focused on X's and O's primarily, player interaction and whether football technique is better, whether the user tools have improved, etc...

Improved weather in off-line franchise. (shouldn't be 55 degrees in northeast in late January!), and......presentation upgrades!- give us a post game wrap-up and weekly NFL wrap-up program!...helps the immersion IMO.

Re: Heading to Community Day - Ask about Madden 13 Here:

From the perspective of user tools and X's and O's: anything with regard to being able to draw up our own plays? Create our own formations? If not, any expansion of custom playbooks and custom game plans?

Can we set formation subs up outside of a game in franchise mode? For exhibition? For online play?

Do custom package substitutions return to the game this year?

Moreso user tools than X's and O's: anything with regard to TeamBuilder integration, even if only for MUT? (speaking as someone who won't consider MUT until I can make _my_ team).

Re: Madden NFL 13 Community Event #1 - Feedback Wanted

Posting here for completeness even though I tweeted at you: custom stadium sounds?

Re: Heading to Community Day - Ask about Madden 13 Here:

Well TNT i'm happy you goin. i think you have a pulse on what people want especially in OS. but i'll give my questions anyway.

1. Will there be improvement to passing game ie: trajectory, route based passing etc.
2. Will cb/wr interaction be better? also will reciever fight for position for ball
3. Will recievers be able to sit in soft of zone
4. Will weight and momentum mean anything
5. Will progression be more based on stats especially for online franchises?
6. Will finesse and power moves both work?
7. Will the size of the field be increased?
8. Ability to either export OF teams or practice or scrimmage mode for OF Leagues?
9. will we see more defensive plays ie cover 2 man or more man combo plays
10. custom playbooks for OF
11. Which came first chicken or egg?
