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

I've bought Madden every year since Madden 05. I bought 05 to do a comparison with NFL 2K5. I liked both equally. Then of course the exclusive deal started and it seems Madden has had a ton of ups and downs since then. They can't seem to consistantly progress forward with the game. It's like one step forward, two steps back.

Out of all the Madden games since 05 I've only really enjoyed Madden 10, 13, and 15. Each of these had enough good to allow me to put up with the bad. They were "good" enough for me to play more then one season, but as always after a while it just gets boring and stale. That said I'm going to finally stop buying the game until there is no more bad. I'm not getting sucked in this year.

I really don't see where they can go from here. I don't see Madden 16 being any better then 15. It needs to be rebuilt and that just isn't going to happen, as long as EA keeps raking in the $$$$$ things won't change.

See, and that is why Gamefly comes in handy when games like Madden fall short.

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.

This right here...if that right there in the bold is not fixed I will not purchase the game, PERIOD.

I'd like to see a realistic pass trajectory system.

bring back fair play for online and get rid of how you can roam the field holding the interception button, you should have to time it, not just hold the button down and hope for the best

I agree. I keep buying every year and my interest is lost after a few weeks because the CPU QB play is just completely unrealistic. It's either mind numbingly bad or way too good. There is no in between. I want playing against Peyton Manning to be a scary situation and playing against Blake Bortles to be defensively entertaining.

To be honest my main thing I want is Team up in the game.

I'd like to see the Stadium/Uniform creator return. It would bring some creativity to the franchise modes & MUT instead of preset designs and useless cards in packs.

Dink and dunk? You mean West Coast Offense?

I want Gruden's QB camp put in for that section of the skills trainer.

Some things I want to see:

1. Full fledged penalty system with working sliders.

2. New commentary. For once we need EA to realize that biggest names in the game doesn't translate to best for the video game. The commentary sounds robotic and lifeless most of the game to the point I turn it off as many others I know do. Other games have figured out how to have great commentary.

3. New offseason. For some people the offseason is just as important as the regular season games. There have been some improvements over the years but we need more options such as: actual NFL contracts, compensatory picks, GM's personalities (such as the Patriots not overpaying for high profile free agents), being able to see stats at the free agent signing screen.

4. Shows. We have seen CGI shows in games dating back to the PS2/Xbox. There is no reason we can't have a few in 2015. An offseason show highlighting key free agents available, players franchise tagged, players who retired, coaching changes etc. And a recap show of who signed where. A draft show of some sort. Make the offseason really matter.

5. Offseason/draft logic - This one is huge as it really can affect the game. Teams that just drafted a QB in the last two draft, who has been doing good, drafting another QB in the first round really kills any realism. For instance Every year in my drafts the Dolphins and Bengals take a QB in the first two rounds. Then you have the teams in offseason who ignore their team needs and just sign the best players available regardless of their depth chart.

5. New draft. The draft really hasn't changed much in about a decade. The menu's are refined each year and they added pointless audio but other than that it is the same boring screens with little life. The draft is one of the biggest events in the NFL, in the game it is an afterthought. Either add more storylines (a lot more) or get rid of them all together, how many former rugby players are there in the NFL? In My CFM there is about 100.

6. Edit players anytime. If I want to switch my LB to DE in week 7 I should be able too. Allow us to edit the names of draft picks if we want. I actually love the random draft classes, i have found some great players through it and I like the variety. But there are some gamers who want realistic draft classes. For me I would like to see the random system refined more.

7. QB's - There should be a tangible difference playing with Tom Brady than playing with Ryan Mallet, regardless of player skill.

Madden 15 saves clips for the halftime show. How hard could it be for online CFM to automatically upload selected user clips from their weekly games and use them after advancing, have them as part of a weekly show on the previous week's games? Game hi lights, trade news, injury report, new stadium news, college stars heading to the NFL, contract negotiations, etc.. You don't need all that ever week, but change up the non-game content and make it something interesting for those of us involved. The CGI games would have simulated clips like we saw on consoles 2 generations back.
