Ideas Madden Can Steal From NCAA Football

How about they start simple first, put Cpu vs Cpu and true coach mode into Madden, something NCAA never took out, SMDH

Re: Ideas Madden Can Steal From NCAA Football

This plea for applicable feature sharing has been pushed time and time again, only to be repeatedly ignored by Tiburon. If I'm not mistaken, Tiburon didn't even combine the central game play teams for both football games until 2011. Failing to share all applicable features for both football games all these years is ridiculous. Collegiate and NFL football are inherently different enough just by representing them accordingly in-game, things like a Bottom Line ticker, mass subs, game break/updates, photo snap, a true coach mode, custom stadium sounds, controller layout, etc, from NCAA Football should also be in Madden.

The list of things that should be stolen from NCAA Football is honestly too long so I will close by mentioning NCAA Dynasty, which coincidentally underlies the point I made earlier about how ridiculous Tiburon has handled this. As far as I know the Dynasty Mode in NCAA was one mode with online capabilities, not the fiasco of online/offline Franchise mode in Madden 10, CCM Madden 13, or CFM for Madden 25. Madden needs to go back to that NCAA Football format with a Dynasty-isk Franchise mode with online capabilities instead of this all encompassing CCM/CFM.

Yeah real coach mode would be nice that way a scrambling qb will actually scramble.. I can't play CPU with the sticks I destroy them no matter the difficulty and sliders so true coach mode is a necessity

What we think and what the suits think at EA Sports are two different things, especially when it comes to Madden. So if its a good idea or makes perfect sense to us, it probably won't happen. Its kinda like the head of EA Sports is Jerry Jones, if the team needs a defensive linemen, he will probably draft a TE.

Steal Brad Nessler. He sounds really good in NCAA even if his lines have grown stale. He sounds a lot more fluid than whoever they had in Madden.

I'd like to see madden get NCAA's play calling system, especially it's no huddle system. Its light years better than what's in madden now.

Amen. And it makes more sense that Madden would have that hurry up play call setup anyway since you can access all the plays and the NFL game has a wider variety of plays.

[Bryzine21]

If you're starting a rookie QB, the crowd noise should affect him (complete with the squiggly lines)....

I hate those squiggly lines.

Weekly Schedules Screen has many options.
Both teams ratings/stats + you can play/sim individual games.

I wish Scouting was as quick and easy as recruiting.

Complete player editing during dynasty/franchise.

NCAA tracks all TEAM Conf./National titles and team W-L records forever.

True coach mode and their highlight reel system. No forget that, I want Madden to steal NBA 2K highlight reel director's cut system. Director's cut is just plain awesome.

Better yet, add alternate Thursday Night Football and NFL Network presentation into the game. Blu-ray disc space makes this possible, and it's a no-brainer considering Nessler was already part of two additional EA Sports games.

Not saying this is a necessity considering just how much needs to be improved but it'll nevertheless pique my curiosity a bit.

I'd like to see Madden expand on the Coaching Carousel and give us the ability to hire our own Coordinators and Assistant Coaches.

Also I would like to see the Snap Shot feature that NCAA has had for 3-4 years now added to Madden. I still don't get why this isn't in..

Agreed. I'd love the option to begin as a co-ordinator and move up to a HC spot.

I don't see why they could not have at least 2 different commentary teams to help mix it up. FIFA has a team for league play and another for international. UFC 3 had UFC commentators and then separate Pride commentators.
Doesn't seem like a big deal, but I found it makes the game more immersive.

I wish they would bring over NCAA's:

Better in-season stat banners
Halftime Show (we've been waiting forever for Madden to do this correctly)
Progressive lighting (even though it would actually just be putting it back in)
