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?

Yes, I am using every response I get on all the social media outlets I frequent. Posted here too since not all OSers have Twitter, and not all of my followers are on OS. I want to go in with maximum feedback so no time is wasted, you know?

I know you want to keep it all in this thread but my best thing to tell you is to look at the Madden Wishlist in the Wishlist thread as what most people will probably write in here, they have already wrote in the Wishlist thread.

@RedzoneD25: Figured I would say this: From talking to you a lot about Madden and stuff, I don't know a more qualified dude to represent OS and helping the Tiburon team with your forte of franchise mode! Good luck to you, and make the best of it!

More polished gap assignments and run fits on defense.

Tiered defensive playbooks.

And a true representation of the wide-9 alignments that Washburn uses.

If it were to come at all, it likely wouldn't be until the next generation of consoles. But, I think an awesome new feature would be first-person. I know ESPN toyed with it a few years back, but we're at a time when the machines are more-than-capable of effectively pulling it off where it looks and feels like YOU'RE in the game (Isn't that supposed to be EA's slogan, anyway?). It'd add another dimension to playing a mode like superstar (or franchise, by being able to see the game through the eyes of your #1 draft pick).

Is EA planning on making Madden a realistic simulation NFL Football title and adding authenticity & innovation to future Madden titles ?

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

What tweaks were made to improve some of the new additions they added to Franchise Mode for M12?

[jpdavis82]

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

I'd like to see in-game saves, offsetting penalties (i.e. offensive holding and defensive pass interference), more realistic player movement between the whistle and no bumping into each other as players walk back to the huddle.

New halftime show with a studio and commentary, around the league scores and highlights as well as adjustments that we can watch for in the second half.

For offline Franchise mode I would like to see a new weekly wrapup show with highlights and in depth game recaps and game previews for the upcoming week. As the season winds down I would like to see a weekly Playoff race segment where they break down if team A wins and team B,C,D all lose then team A clinches a berth. These are things we see every year in real life. Add an around the league score graphic with game updates throughout the game, doesn't have to be highlights in game, just some kind of notification that a team has scored a td to take the lead or something.
During the Playoffs I would like to see the atmosphere go up several notches, everything from the crowd volume, to the players emotion, and the excitement of the commentary. The Playoffs need to feel much different than a regular season game and then the Super Bowl just needs to go all out at every level, atmosphere, presentation, pre-game, post-game, this is a national holiday now and should be treated as such. There have been strides the last few years in the Super Bowl but I think they still have a ways to go. The commentators need to talk about different player matchups. There should be a sideline reporter talking about the coaches and players preparation throughout the week before the game, and also giving injury updates and team updates throughout the course of the game. There needs to be a new level of excitement in the Super Bowl from start to finish, much different than any other game even compared to the Playoff games.

In the offseason, after the scouting combine, have a studio show talking about the upcoming draft with a combine recap and mock draft segment. During the draft add a draft expert like Schefter, Mayock, Kiper, McShay, any of these to give pick analysis, look to NFL HC 09 for an idea of what I'm talking about. Have Goodell on stage to announce the players as they are picked, just like nba2k12 does.

Please add the option for us to change sim quarter length so we can have realistic sim stats without having to play 15 min quarters to compete with the CPU's stats.

New Online Franchise, not much else needs to be said since this was left out last year.

Rebuild Superstar or scrap it, if nothing else please make it worth playing. There is no incentive to play this mode if you start out as the starter at your position no matter what.

MUT11 should be the guide for MUT13, I played a ton of MUT 11 but MUT12 is hard to play. They need to go back to where getting a even halfway decent card was a challenge. High 90's gold cards should be just as rare as the Playoff and Fantasy cards are now.

Add spectator mode for online play, and improve Online servers for even smoother online gameplay.

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

I just wanted to say congrats man! It was a blast when I was invited two years ago for Madden 11. An experience I will never forget!

I am busy playing 2k8 again though and sulking after watching my 49ers beat themselves [or at least Kyle Williams] in the NFC Championship game. I am looking forward to Madden 13. It will likly be the first Madden I will have paid for since 2008 [Madden 09. I won a copy of M10 in a tournament, was given M11, and skipped M12.]

Here is hoping the improved franchise has been tuned a lot more, the audio department got their heads out of their rear ends and that the game play continues to improve!

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

Congrats to all you people that are headed to CD and enjoy yourselves. That said, doesn't seem like this is anyone's first rodeo, so please, please consider all the gamers that don't have a chance to voice their perspectives directly to the developers and carry our water.

I would hope the awe of the opportunity will be less distracting this time around and even though you can't confirm or deny much due to the agreement, really press them on the core football risk/reward, a NFL simulation mode and the legacy issues.

Congrats again and enjoy yourself, it's "just a video game" LOL

^^ That right there justifies every minute I have spent over the last ten years playing Madden. Thank you so much, man...truly means a lot.

Thanks, PG! I noticed you still have my old quote in your signature...It still holds true.

Everybody else: Great stuff so far, let's keep it coming. I'm doing my part and coming up with a list of things I'm seeing around here too, but I want to get as many voices out to Orlando as I can. Don't be shy!

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

Are they going to make any changes to the passing game? I would like you guys to give them the 9th degree about the passing game.

You know the usual:
Passing Trajectories
DB's ability to move around the field unrealistically (shuffling side to side and backpedalling as fast as guys running straight ahead).
WR fighting for the ball and using their body position.
Diving catches, where are they? You see them once in a blue moon.
Don't forget to ask them about DB's mirror the WR route.

That is all I can think of for now.

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

Just to follow up. Here is a video, of one of my biggest issues with the passing game. The WRs on the outside are suppose to be running hitches to the outside. But neither one breaks off their vertical route. The QB anticipating the receiver to break off his route throws the ball, yet the route becomes a vertical route. Here is a video of the "issue:
