1a) Nantz and Simms should expand their commentary to include intros for backup quarterbacks too. Sure its great to talk about the starting QBs, but lets say a backup becomes the starter.... Ex: Foles become starter and Vick is the only Eagles QB with an introduction in the game.
1b) Speaking of QBs... since we know Madden makes QB intros a big deal... have the game include more legends/madden greats at the quarterback position. Brett Favre, Kurt Warner, Phil Simms, Boomer Esiason, and Jim Kelly come to mind. Add intro commentary from the guys in the booth for these guys.
2) Let us have and edit Coach settings/sliders. Let us the users modify coach's philosophies and beliefs. Adding/losing player on a roster can change/affects coaches styles. Coach may suddenly like a 3-4 or 4-3, or get a mobile QB when he prefers a pocket QB. Ex: Mike Shannahan traditionally prefered the 4-3 but then on the Redskins he suddenly chose to go with a 3-4 defense.
3) Tattoos. Ok not every player needs to have every single tatoo captured and represented. Big time players though... ex: Kapernick
4) Offensive and Defensive Coordinators should be included. We should see them on the sidelines too.
5) Change playbooks for every team. NBA 2k lets us edit every single team's playbook completely. We can add/remove plays from the playbook.
6) Homefield Advantage/Specific Game Conditions. Not only do NFL stadiums look different, they feel different. Since the seahawks won the superbowl madden should make their stadium more likely to have false starts called. In New England, player confidence should drop a point as most NFL teams are intimidated to face the Pats on the road. The Saints should play much better in the Superdome that anywhere else. Giants stadium, Heinz Field, and Soldier Field should have heavy unpredictable winds affecting field goals. In Denver (altitude) and Miami (heat), players should fatigue faster. Playing the Broncos as Mile High with that no huddle offense would really wear out guys. Also, in Pittsbugh we should have fans in the stand waving the terrible towels!!!
7) Include more RETRO jerseys. At least include road retro jerseys as well as the home classic jerseys. EA... we like to play in retro road uniforms too
8) Redzone Target. Add this to Player Roles. When we simulate games/seasons have us be able to influence who scores and gets touchdowns. A redzone target means he is more likely to get the ball in scoring/redzone situations and upon simulation he gets a high number of Touchdowns. The COU will even try to find that player when it is at that goal line: trying to run it in with the star RB or look for a certain TE/WR.
