Madden NFL 25: Strategic Areas Which Need Improvement

They also need to make a more efficient way of viewing player ratings and REMOVE the ratings from the game they CLAIM don't matter anymore.

If I am viewing a WR why do I need to see his BSH, PMV, FMV, TAK, etc ratings ?

They also need to go into detail as to how EVERY rating and player trait effects the players and how they play.
This is stuff that should have BEEN done.

Options for a much more realistic franchise (connected career). I don't want them to totally scrap the XP stuff. It's already coded and a lot of people enjoy it. But I would like an optional, realistic progression system and realistic franchise. With the current XP system, I feel like I'm putting a quarter into an arcade machine instead of playing a football video sim.

Defense needs a major redoing....Being able to make pre-snap adjustments on defensive plays and save them, such as in practice mode, is a must...A play editor, in general, is needed.

Everything else mentioned in the article is also of top priority.

i agree with pretty much everything although i did see a late hit out of bounds penalty within the first five minutes of my first game lol. i was shocked because ive never seen it before in any of the cg games.

Great list! So many of these are embarrassing omissions and have been for years.

I like this. Seems like a good way to teach less experienced players as well and could ultimately be a little easier to use.

This is exactly what I had in mind when thinking about it along with eliminating adding extra things to the game. We wouldn't need custom playbook with the hot route system I'm talking about. You go to practice mode and start putting stuff together via voice command. You wouldn't need a play editor, it's all on the fly. I really would like for EA to do this. We need a true next gen experience. With other games delving into deep story telling and using multiple media platforms to bring these games to life (still gotta hope things mesh well together, but the projects are very ambitious) I would like for football for once to stop with the status quo experience and do something great. Delve into what football is all about.

Agreed as well. My biggest complaint is more cosmetic. Why can't we get a full stable of uniforms? There are so many duplicates for teams (ie 2012 uniforms are the same as current uniforms so why put both in?).

Can we not get every uniform ever worn by each team both home and away? Oilers 90's with blue pants on road? Cleveland's orange pants? Cowboys original road blues to the navy with silver numbers worn in mid 80's? Patriots red pants? Seahawks 80's home and away?

And the choice of having classic logos on the field?

Excellent points and I would like them all changed

[Bruce LeRoy]

How bout they change up the passing controls. They have been the exact same since PS2! I would like to use the thumb sticks to pass at least give us a choice. And to make matters even worse every Qb is about the same. Tom Brady gets hurt just put in Tim Tebow and he will be just as good if not better, the offense won't miss a beat.

Another idea for Kinect. When on defense if my opponent likes running screens I should be able to say before the snap and even after it SCREEN!!! SCREEN!!! SCREEN!!! And my players should break off their pass rush and lock it up. None of this contain this guy and all that mess just to deal with a screen.

They need to get rid of the whole right/left thing on defense and go with strong-side/weak-side.
