Also wanna add I wanna see WRs and DBs attack the ball in the air. Right now they just kinda play out an animation and hope the ball lands in their hands. They need to go after the ball. Actually make a play on the ball.

I wish we could create a player during our franchises instead of having to do it before you start and put him on a roster. Give us that option during the offseason or something with limits on attributes. Or make us use XP for them

I want the coverage shading to actually work. When I have man coverage and assign an inside shade and slants are wide open, that just kills me. I would be perfectly okay with being burned on a fade or out route in that scenario because that would actually make sense, but when I say "take away the slant" TAKE AWAY THE DAMN SLANT.

Btw, Cam never said 3 year plan.

According to this,he did say 3 year plan...unless I'm missing something here.

Speaking at the press event being held by the company, Tiburon football GM Cam Weber touched on the vision going forward for the Madden NFL franchise. Of note is that there is a new “three year plan” underway with features already mapped out through Madden 14.

This interview states that it's not the traditional 3 year plan.

Not directed at any single individual; They've had several 3-year plans now. I don't want to hear another thing from them about a 3-year plan or a plan period, or hear some kind of personal idea about a different definition of 3-year plan, because clearly they're unable to execute them properly no matter how they present it or what they call it.

Just like a football team, you can go out on the field with a gameplan, even a well-designed one, but if you can't execute it and you keep losing, nobody cares about your plan(s) any longer, they want to see results. We've been waiting a decade to see some innovation from this franchise, and yet it never came. Innovation in football has literally gone nowhere since the exclusive deal. I don't count flopping bodies, flailing limbs (both due to isues with Infinity) bizarre animations, lack of a passing pocket or realistic pass rush, psychic DB's, and bonehead AI as moving forward. If anything, they, Tiburon, have moved the genre backwards but with prettier graphics.

When this game finally steps into the 21st century and MOVES and REACTS like a game in this generation is expected to, heck, how a game LAST GENERATION was expected to, then and only then will I want to hear their plans. Until then, I'd rather they not say a word anymore. I just don't want to hear it. They gave up the good will of their "This is the year" BS being entertained a long, long time ago. I don't believe them and no rational person who is being honest with himself could either given their decade-long stagnation.

Until something forces them to do better, they're not going to. They're going to continue to beef up MUT, throw in some graphical upgrades, give you a few new camera angles and some new controls, and that's about it. They've been following that plan long enough now that there is no reason on earth whatsoever to expect anything more.

I'd love to see a 2K'esque replay frequency setting lol. A replay after almost every dang play annoys me

Re: Madden NFL 16 Launches on August 25th - News, Features and Details Arrive in May

all im gone say is, yeah madden has been around a long time, but this community is not stupid, and we as a whole as gamer's are not stupid, the rules apply to where they are warranted. if Joe Montana is what it says it will be, you can count me on board for whatever platform it will be on, if not then i'll see what madden develops. i'm not holding my breath for madden though, there's just been to many let downs, and i am to just tired of the hope that the madden franchise can turn things around. Now with Joe Montana, if those clips and the ( questionable article ) happens to be true, then ladies and gentlemen we might in store for greatness on the gridiron with a legend reintroducing football through his eyes on a computer simulated system. oh and lets not forget something that was made by Microsoft, one of the greatest games ever in history. ( Links ) Need i say more about that game.

And with 2k and Microsoft having there hands in the mix who knows, we have already seen what 2k is capable of dong, just from there nba title. my only thing i question is why not maket the ps4 as well, kinda weird, but i'll say just very interesting...

The reason for all the cut scenes, is to cover up weaknesses, ie guys flopping all over each other like fish in a bucket. Average or casual guys really dont know or understand what they are missing out on when it comes to a real 2015 football game. MAN ARE WE MISSING OUT! This game could be a 100 times better without even touching game play! Some people cant see past the NFL shield n the shiny graphics but once a real game is released, then people will finally wake up to the reality of the sham that football gaming has become! How about giving us custom cameras for every aspect of the game: Game play custom cams, presentation custom cams, replay custom cams, tv broadcast custom cams with quick coach, custom cut scenes or none, ect. I could list thousands of innovative ideas just by myself and millions with the help of you guys! Its just a blatant disregard of innovation and or simply removing so many things that we have already had in the game just to bring them back as new features! Please stop trying to tell me madden is good and just because you like it doesnt make it good! WAKE-UP!

2k isn't involved in jm16, there are guys here with sources that say so.

On the topic of madden, that's what happens when you're the sole maker of a game based on the most popular sport in the U.S. EA has no need to innovate or take risk bc there no other game for people to play. If you wannna play a game with your favorite team and players you have to buy madden. As much as I hate the idea and EA for doing it, it was a genius move especially when the competition was so threatening

Re: Madden NFL 16 Launches on August 25th - News, Features and Details Arrive in May

Hopefully this is the year of customization. Letting us actually create coaches and players with parts for hair and face. Clothing options and gear. Letting us realign divisions and truly have custom uniforms for teams. Let us decide our personality as a player and a coach and have custom celebrations. I think we would be much more vested emotionally if half that stuff was added this year.

The major passing game breakthrough should be untethered passes and timing should be very important and synced up with qb dropbacks.

I know personally I would enjoy the way franchise mode used to be. I really dislike the way scouting is done in m15. I loved playing nfl head coach because of how the scouting is done. It would be pretty neat to see them put that kind of scouting into madden. I mean there is such a yearly emphasis on the draft and it's such a big part off football so why not overhaul how it is done and have it hold the same kind of in depth analysis as in the real world. Just think pro days, combines, pre draft workouts the interviews. I mean everything involving the off season is huge in reality so why not have all of that in our games? Madden meets head coach. I'd gladly she'll out the money on that.

WR/DB animations
A working penalty system
A working QB system, bad QB's are bad, good Qb's are good. Also, enough of the dink and dunk routine

Much improved QB awareness when a sack is approaching. Throw the ball away or take off.

Better animations.

My thoughts exactly,a working penalty system finally,but I'm not getting my hopes for that one. I don't think it's ever gonna be a true simulation! I'm really getting tired of all the bells and whistles they add year after year! A lot of it could care less about! They need to start looking at the MLB The Shows and NBA 2kS of the world. I've pretty much given update hope another publisher gets exclusive NFL license or the NFL decides to not have no longer have any exclusive licenses! This game sells Because of the name Madden and casual gamers no about it! And that seems like that is the crowd they are making Madden for!

Very excited for this!!!! Madden15 was a pretty solid offering and I have a feeling that this year we're going to see the greatest football video game ever created. Continue to polish the infinite engine by implementing a course of action that takes weight into accountability as I think we should be done with the random animations that defy gravity this go around gents. Player movement/locomotion was better in 15 and reminded me of the realistic "turn radius depending on player velocity" that we had in the classic Madden days, however, this all definitely still needs some attention to detail. Lets focus some manpower on that please.

Not sure if it would be too much to ask, but gauntlet/practice modes should also be built as "slider arenas" also. Meaning that the "universal sliders" (the ones that work the same across all modes, reminder lmao) can be accessed within the pause menu and we can field what ever position we want. This would work perfectly for streamlined, precision slider testing no doubt. I understand that slider gurus are probably a very small population of the Madden community, but you already have the shell of this option available, we just need to be able to get to the sliders during one of the previously mentioned modes, and that could be a done deal.

"I read a post that stated something to the effect of, this topic usually would've had 100 replies but it doesn't because no one is interested." Completely disagree. I'm on the other side of the fence with that one. I think the requests/suggestions are short because damn near everything the forum was asking for is pretty much in the game now. I've been around, either posting or lurking during the console generation transition (xbox to xb360) period with all of the 2k comparisons and complaints. If you sit back and assess things, you'll notice the requests have been implemented and the complaints are getting shorter and shorter.

Trust me, this is coming from someone who has been EXTREMELY disappointed with many of the previous iterations of the game. 15 was very solid and I still play it every now and then…….thats saying something!!! The biggest complaint I've seen arise that seems to be universal is WR/DB interaction, which I agree with, but it honestly didn't stick out with me as a major game changer but hey if you can get it in there, anything to make the game better I'll take. Other than that, (and my previous suggestions of course) I think the devs have been doing great as of Madden 25/15. 25 is where they turned it around, so for me 16 is where I'm expecting some HUGE jumps. This will be year three.
