Been playing a lot of Be a GM mode in NHL 16 lately, and there are some things in that which I would love to see a version of in Madden.

Morale

Players abilities are affected by their morale, which can changes by a number of factors. Playing time, roster moves, recent performance (for better/worse), recovering from an injury, and team and individual meetings with players all affect how they feel.

We already have a similar, albeit "broken" confidence system in the game - I would love to see it replaced or fixed with something like NHL's morale system.

Potential

In NHL, there are essentially three pieces to a player's potential:

1) The player's projected potential - can be seen by you, states what the "best guess" for what role (i.e. Starter, backup, elite, franchise, etc.) the player will fill at the peak of their career. They may not be at their potential yet, but this is what we think they will be.

2) Projection confidence - our level of confidence in the projection. We may project a guy as an "Elite" player, but only have medium confidence in that projection. The more the player is scouted or the longer they play in the league, the more confident we are in that projection (and the projection might change as we learn more avout him!)

3) The players's true potential - we cannot see this until our projection confidence is "Exact", meaning we know for a fact what this guy's potential is. Again, this can be accomplished by a combination of scouting or simply experience with the player.

So in the case of Madden, we could have guys coming out of the draft like:

Jamarcus Russell -
projected = Elite QB
confidence = Low
true = 3rd String QB

Russell Wilson -
projected = Backup
confidence = Low
true = Elite

A few years into their careers, they may look like:

Jamarcus Russell -
projected = 3rd string QB
confidence = high
true = 3rd string QB

Russell Wilson -
projected = Elite
confidence = Exact
true = Elite

Under the hood, both QB's true potential was always the same, it just takes a while for us to know, with confidence what their potential actually is.
