1) Coaching Carousel - The Player/Coach/GM starting point for a franchise is incredibly stale, with the ability to start at your dream job/ favorite team. Adding an OC/DC dynamic (similar to NCAA 14) where you have to grind your way to the dream head coaching job all while building up a skill tree that actually feels like it means something. This would be scrapping the 3 option skill tree coaches have now (Training XP Boosts, FA Boosts, Contract Neg. Boosts) and expand it into in-depth positional scouting, player attribute boosts (aka become a training specialist), and building on the scheme dynamic from Madden 19. Very easy to flesh out a coaching carousel, and to the report that Madden hasn't added OC/DC's because of no contract with the OC/DC union IRL, just make generic coaches like they've done/did with Belichick/Payton. Authenticity should have no bearing over adding this feature.

2) Scouting - Again in Madden 19 we've got a carbon copy of the scouting mechanic for what, 3-4 years now? Spam scouting points, unlock 3 attributes and wait for the combine numbers to cheese the system. Make scouting more risk/reward on what positions you decided to scout v/s ignore. More in-depth scouting reports (and not just lazy news stories that tell you what players get a Superstar Dev trait). Add the dynamic of finding gems ala NCAA 14. There are lots of features that can be added but in general, scouting needs a much-needed overhaul.

3) Draft Class Editor RANDOMIZER - Yeah, I don't want to spend 10+ hours making a draft class for me to just know everyone's overalls when I start the scouting process. There is a way to keep the elite players elite while still throwing a wrench into things and jumbling the players in the mid/late rounds.

4) Relocation Teams [Facelift] - Similar to the OC/DC we got word from Madden dev's that essentially the contract with the NFL limits their ability to add more relocation cities but I'm skeptical that affects their ability to modify the currently approved relo cities. The same jerseys/logos/color combos for the last few games makes it incredibly uninspiring to want to relocate a team in CFM because it's been the same every year for a while now. If we can get new cities, give us new teams....if we can't get new teams at MINIMUM to give us new jerseys and color schemes.

5) Build on the Scheme/Archetype dynamic - I'm actually a fan of the new system and I think it's a good building block going forward. More schemes, more archetypes, coaches having more influence on growing players within their scheme, improved weekly training, trade finder to find ONLY scheme specific players, etc.
