Official Madden 13 Suggestion Thread

INTERCEPTIONS ON SIDELINES. that is all

how about get rid of the plays where a linebacker has his back towards but still has the ability to knock a pass down. also get rid of the high five. the high five is where the lbershave the wing span of shaq and can knock any pass down. dont aid teams because they have a few good players. like the ravens foxworth is a horrible cb but because he is on the ravens playing with ed reed they boost him up like he i legit. if the players suck dont boost them up because of who they play with. make the good players good and the average players average. if you think about it, that does make sense. let the players rating means some thing in the game i should never have a te with 87 speed out run a cb with 97 speed.

oh i forgot about this get rid of the long wind up in madden 12 some qbs have a long wind up for no reason. just because there is pressure doesnt mean he cant throw a good pass

Have more catch animations and have some catch animations that are specific to the player.

Make L trigger access precision or lead passing rather than the player specific pumpfake. Make the other one the default.

Fix slant outs and slant ins, still way to effective in the game.... this isn't as big of a deal but make purples play like they did in 11,play the sidelines not the flats...baby blues are for the flats...hence this is the reason slant outs are so effective, purples don't get there in time if there is a flat route underneath....

yes purples are hella broken..i have a video i could post to help EA see what the problem exactly is

honestly, the only thing that annoys me, is that as a rookie in Superstar mode, you come in #1, regardless of your overall or anything. For instance, i started one with Ryan Mallett, and i started over Tom Brady. Not realistic. you need to prove yourself, that's half the fun when it comes to NCAA games, you have to work into the spot, you're not just handed it.

there needs to be a carry rating for Qbs behind the line of scrimmage as well as past the line of scrimmage...

-----------------
there needs to be smart zones in the game as well. like last gen...the zone would extend to the first down marker

--------------------------
I would like to see 2 or 3 different sets of audibles. Real teams have audible packages for different points in the game madden should as well.

You will have your 5 audibles and then another set of 5. etc

you could switch through them at the playcall screen

but a person is limited to 1 switch per quarter ..offense or defense it will count as 1

needs to be a new locomotion system

IN MADDEN 13 THEY NEED TO APPLY ALL OPTIONS TO THE PASSING GAME , IN OTHER WORDS EA SPORTS SHOULD ADD THE BACK SHOULDER THROW!

do you know how hard that would be to add?

i know it would be difficult but its used over 10 times a game in the pros and i believe that to take madden to the next level this is an element they must add

they also should make superstar mode more in depth. on ncaa superstar mode is detailed and more enjoyable then madden i.e. have it to where you dont comein as a starter over veterans like brees, mcnabb, ect. also have like a system when it recaps that weeks games ike the extra point does, thirdly, make you work for a spot and dont make it to where u automatically get traded as you please! its just to plain heck i enjoyed superstar modes of 08, and 09 more then i do madden 12

Iknow there are alot of gameplay issues and new features to add but please take the time to fix the broken commentary.. at least if the commentator doenst know what he is talkin about bring back Madden.. i miss the "boom" .. but seriously punts get downed at the 1 and cris says its a touchback... many many other times too..

FORM SHIFTS MUST COME BACK!!! THAT IS THE ONLY WAY CREATIVE BALLERS CAN HAVE A TRULY UNIQUE OFFENSE!! CUZ NOW, ITS JUST EVERYONE RUNNING THE SAME sh!t IN THE SAME BOOKS AND THEN SOME1 SAYING"U JOCKED MY O" F THAT... GIVE ME FORM SHIFTS BACK SO NONE OF THAT CAN BE SAID, AND IF IT DOES HAPPEN, THEN U KNOW SOME >REALLY< STOLE SOME1'S O

also, bring back the ability to switch audibles from the playcall screen like the used to have.... having diff sets of auds would be too hectic... just bring back the old stuff where u could switch out one aud for another in the middle of the game bcuz i know there are many other ballers like me that have alot of plays that they would run in certain situations if they had "that audible" set... i know that would be easier for me than having to pause the game to set one audible then pause it again to put the old play back in............................

I hope everyone agrees with me on all of this. If we were to get this long list added to NFL Madden 13, it will truly be a game to remember. Comments are welcome!


Ok well Madden 13 needs a lot of stuff back that they took off.


1. Create your playbook
The problem with the one they have now is it's really limited and you can't put in automatic substitutions.

2. Edit active team
When in franchise, you should be able to just change something small about a real, pre-existing NFL team instead of coming up with a brand new one through a relocation.

3. Bring back my skill
The game was best when your skill changed along with your own skill level. It limits blowouts in franchise and makes it realistic.

4. Soundtrack
I feel like every year the soundtrack gets stupider and stupider. I haven't heard a good soundtrack on Madden since Madden 2004 with Michael Vick on the cover.

5. Franchise management
Let the prices of tickets, food, etc be controlled again in owner mode like it used to. (but let this be a franchise option)


This game also needs to add some brand new things.


1. They need to expand traits for players.
Ex blockers need have traits like likeliness to hold. Also need to more than just Ray Lewis's dance to the characters. You need to be able to see every individual characters personality, including created players.
Also there needs to be some in between traits. You can't just say "makes sideline catches" and "drops open passes".

2. More details in Create A Team
The create a team has been the exact same for 3 years. They need to add more icons, and bring back the old icons, including the NFL icons. Also with this, they need to add way more detail to creating jerseys and stadiums. It's been the exact same thing for 3 years. It's time to upgrade.
Ex for uniforms; stars on helmet, outline color on numbers, more detailed stripes.
Ex for stadiums; history of created stadiums through a written out description that the commentators can read. Also make each team more individualized when it comes to calling out players. And created teams should also have a tunnel to run out of.

3. Franchise Additions
Be able to give one character on the team the role of "key to the city". Pretty much with this, that player is the undisputed heart and soul of the team. Like Ray Lewis, Peyton Manning, and Drew Brees. The benefits of this is when this player is on a hot streak the crowds are larger and the team performs better.

4. GRAPHICS!!!
I can't even tell you how to do that. Just make them better. The whole NFL does not have a hit stick. Stop making the players get hit so hard. And stop letting players walk through referees after the play the over.


I can guarantee Madden 13 will be the best of the series yet if you can follow these guidelines.

Im a die hard football fan and if you are too than madden should already be a fun game because its football. I'm all about presentation so here's some ideas to make it even more intense which will lead to more fun.

-Basically anything you see on real NFL games should be in madden
-Really good endings to each game.(Each game should end differently depending on how close, how great, how bad the game was.)
-The mvp of the game should be getting praised by everyone even the other team if he did that well(pats on the back and all)
-The sidelines should be going crazy when you run pass them for a touchdown or from a pic6
-More cut scenes
-More replays(with better camera angles)
-Bring back half time reports
-Impressive pregame shows
-Impressive after game shows
-Nonstop commentary
-Blood
-Big chunks of grass in your face mask if you get hit hard into the ground
-Players getting ready to get into it but then it gets broken up by teammates
-Show teammates talking to each other
-Rivals don't shake hands in the beginning but get in each others faces
-Referees ripping off players in dog piles
-Whistles being blown from referees
-Make injuries a lot more dramatic when they happen because injuries are dramatic
-(Here's the coolest feature ever)Every time out should bring up a choice for if you want to show someone pumping up their teammates, players drinking Gatorade, getting a speech so they can get more focused, and any other ideas you can think of. Depending on which type of player you have should bring up different types of choices. For instance ray lewis is always motivating his teammates therefore if your the ravens you should have the ability to motivate your players which will boost their ratings for a period of time. If you choose to do that it should go into a cut scene of ray Lewis pumping them up. If you drink Gatorade it should go into a cut scene of them drinking then it should restore your energy....catch my drift?

Y'all should have double/triple penalties.
There should also be like a brief pre-game thing to say what to look for, what to expect.
At halftime, a brief report on what has happened.
Cheerleaders should be more real-like.
The entrance for every team should not be the same!
Commentary please change!!!
Rivalries should have a passion! No matter what, they are always close games
Fans should be in it.
You should be able to upgrade a stadium in Madden and not have to go through changing uniform and what not...
Off-field issues good and bad
Mock Draft at the end of the year showing what the new guy will bring/ how he'll help. Short but at least it is there.
For the draft you should have rough estimates of the things. Like beginner without doing anything its a guess of 400-450. When you scout him every week (5 weeks max) it decreases to within 10 pounds.
Let us change food/ ticket prices, etc.
Let the computer players counter-offer trades.
Trade logic should be better! I shouldn't have like 5 first rounders in one season doing nothing!

they should hire the guys that work on the NBA2k series.. those guys really have got the commentary down and the realism is spot on.. too bad the NBA sucks..lol

Two things

1. The ability for more than one flag to be thrown (combined with the ability for them to offset)

2. Late flags to make things more tense.

NO WAY! holding calls are so random as it is, if anything tone down holding calls.... rest of flags are pretty good, maybe have PI turned up a small amount, when a defender is strafed up he can block the WR from going for ball and no PI is ever called

GIBS please lobby for hardcore ranked games to make a return! ranked games on all-madden difficulty! this is the best way to test your skills and user, and adjustments in the game, playing on all-madden!

I would like to see in madden 13 way more Pass Interference Calls and give us more options when u challenge plays like espn 2k5 did

When your opponent punts and you don't catch it there should be a button to hit to automatically have your players get away from the ball,instead of them moving towards the ball.
