My Suggestions for 06

[A Disciple]

I resisted as long as I could, but here goes my rant:

Offense:
QB's should not be sooooooooo slow.
If a lineman misses a block he shouldn't just do a circle or just run away, he should at least try to get a piece of him.
The "block on the side" animations that basically make clipping legal should be thrown out.
The really nice "jumping aong the sideline" catch animation shouls actually come down inbounds sometimes.
The "bumped and tip toeing the sideline" animation just gets on my nerves.
A QB getting hit while handing off should still be able to get the handoff away (at least sometimes)
Center QB exchanges should get messed up every now and then, especially with low AWR centers or QB's (a snap over a QB's head in Shotgun maybe)
I would love a "Lower Shoulder" button or something. I would like more options to control tackle breaking. The cover up just doesn't do it for me.
I wish the ref would get out of the way on deep passes.
The "off the back foot" throw gets a little ridiculous at times.
I'd love a WR that can block a little. One that can actually hold a block and turn a guy would make me piss myself.
I wish the catch animations didn't take so long, allowing a burnt DB to catch up and make a hit.
And how about the replay's get the calls right on the 2 feet inbounds?
Why do super fast players get caught by LB's?
If the run game isn't effective, the PA shouldn't be effective either.

Defense:
The D is just way, way too fast.
Quarters should never ever, ever ever ever be effective against "Big" sets.
The jam should not work every play.
Quarter DB Strike should not be a good Base D and be effective.
Why are the DE's on steroids?
Why are the DB's olympic high jumpers? Especially with however many pounds of equipment they have on.
The diving ability is just ridiculous.
The HIT STICK needs to be toned down. Make HTS an attribute to give certain players better HS than others.
I can't stand the "jump behind the guy" interception animations.
I hate dropping "User Picks". If you make the effort yourself, your INT chances should go up.
And speaking of dropping picks, why do defenders just love to bat the ball down when they could easily pick it off?
Somebody tell me, has defensive pass interference been removed from the game? I have one friend who commits pass interference on purpose because he knows it won't get called!!
Why do defenders just keep dropping back and back and back instead of defending their zone?
How is it possible to make a play on the ball and make a devastating hit?
Please switch up the sideline tackle animation.
Why not change the name of the "strip ball" button to the "Missed Tackle" button.
What is with those barely get touched tackles? I hate the back turned to you tackles or the get off the ground to make the tackle.
The diving tackles from behind that barely touch you are just pure trash.

General:
Why does the CPU have unlimited audibles and we only have 5?
Some sneaky on side kicks would be nice.
A fake FG play that works would be nice.
I would like to be able to return missed FG's.
What's up with the super horrible blocking on returns?
If you have a starting DB returning your kicks, and your opponent just ran a 14 play drive on you, shouldn't that starting DB be a little too tired to take a kick-off return?
You should be able to imrove more than 1 player with mini camp in franchise.
I would like to see it become a little easier to make trades on the game.


I would say this is my 2 cents, but this is more like 5 bucks. So thanks to anyone who actually read all this. I just got a little fed up and decided to let it all out. Holla if ya hear me.

Adding on if this already is not enough...lol
That triangle button while running the rock, the cover up should be beefed up some so you can actually run some folks over. Point! If I have the bus running hard, and a little behind D back comes up and "Do Not come correct, he should get smashed on contact"

On defense, those Linemen is not supposed to be Hawking those QB's down like that.... No way! Tone it down some EA.

And online, Fix those darn GLITCHES PLS!!!!!!!

[A Disciple]

Oh, I forgot Real gang tackling too. Like while a guys is being hit and going down or still moving forward, you shuld be able to hit him.

[mainevent87]

I would like the idea of like every 5 yrs or every 10 yrs have the chance to bring in an expansion team...and maybe realign the divisions too

[wudup]

QB's should not be sooooooooo slow.
Agreed. Not all QB's have 2 speed.

A QB getting hit while handing off should still be able to get the handoff away (at least sometimes)
Yea, you would think they would have a little sense to turn their arm to the RB, or maybe a little toss because there was some mix up, that would be good.

Center QB exchanges should get messed up every now and then, especially with low AWR centers or QB's (a snap over a QB's head in Shotgun maybe)
That would annoy me if it happened, but I wouldn't mind because atleast they are making more realistic.

And speaking of dropping picks, why do defenders just love to bat the ball down when they could easily pick it off?
AGREED!

The "off the back foot" throw gets a little ridiculous at times.
Couldn't have said it better myself.

I wish the catch animations didn't take so long, allowing a burnt DB to catch up and make a hit.
EXCELLENT point.

Somebody tell me, has defensive pass interference been removed from the game? I have one friend who commits pass interference on purpose because he knows it won't get called!!
I get pass interfered on about every pass play! If they had a legitamate interference penalty calling I know I would score on about every drive!

What is with those barely get touched tackles? I hate the back turned to you tackles or the get off the ground to make the tackle.
Totally agreed, they don't even tackle you, they push you and you somehow fall, wtf?


Here is an idea of mine. Why don't the recievers make a better attempt at getting to the ball than the D? The recievers know the ball is coming to them yet the D jumps on the ball right when it is thrown, you would think your reciever would know the ball is coming to him before the defender...

[Gtrght77]

Dont you love when you have a 3-5 yard Lead on The Cb and the CB jumps up with his back to the ball and swats it down

it's really lovely when the safety gets that speeded up sliding like animation before the jump. booooooooooooooo

wow i disagree ona ll points in the offense and defense section other than the off the back foot one

[barry sanders]

DEFENSE ACTUALLY INT. THE DAMN BALL WHEN IT COMES AT YOUR FACE!!!....and when im standing ont he yellow, i dont want to see a stupid CB come flying in my way to bat the ball down!!!! INT. THE DAMN BALL DAMN IT!!!

[II Ori0n II]

Good post disciple, I agree with everything except the comment about db strike being too good as a base d, because it is not good as a base Defence now. Its a great blitz if you use it write, but if I start seing it every four downs, I'm going to eat it alive. Other than that, good stuff man.

One thing I'd like to add is that they should make the red zone (zones designed to stop corners) actually work at shutting down the corners.

Well you are a little strange there Jay. Nothing new about that.

EXCELLENT POST DISCIPLE.. JUST TO ADD A FEW THINGS..

SUGGESTIONS..

1. TOTAL CONTROL PASSING - WHERE THE QB HAS TO DIRECT THE PASS TO THE REC. NOT LET THE COMPUTER DIRECT IT. THAT SHOULD HELP ON OFF THE BACK FOOT THROWS. IT WOULD ALSO HELP ON LEADING THE REC..DOWN FIELD ON OVER THE SHOULDER CATCHES.

2. THEY NEED TO FIX THE TRANSPARENT TACKLING..MEANING GUYS KEEP PASSING THROUGH EACH OTHER TO MAKE TACKLES.. PISSES ME OFF..

3. THEY NEED TO STOP THESE 40 INCH VERTICAL LEAPS THESE DB'S WITH GORILLA ARMS & SPIDER SENSES KNOCKING AWAY BALLS.. LOL.

OVERALL THE GAME NEEDS A COMPLETE OVERHAUL.. THATS MY 2CENTS.. :cool:

[Theo]

Why are my TE and 3rd receiver my best weapons?
And why the hell are Leonard Little and KGB faster than McNabb and Cullpepper?

Ow, and this is just an easy one for developers:
ad a "filter" option in the rosters.
Sometimes I just want players under 25, over 85 OVR or 90 SPD... ad a rookie filter, (or experience that is) so I can check what rookies came in the league.

I said this in another thread, but I don't know if everyone saw it so....

I would love multi-player online play. 2 on 2 or 3 on 3, heck I'd play 4 on 4 or 5 on 5!! But I would really love 2 on 2 online play. 3 on 3 would be good too, cause you could have aguy at each level on D, line, LB and secondary! I think Jersy said this on the other thread but I'm going to repeat it... GOODBYE JUKE GLITCH if this happens!! LOL

[ShakeUAllDay]

YEAH YOUR RIGHT...BUT I GOT THE HOT ONE FOR YA.. HAVING THE CAMERA FACE THE OFFENSE ON DEF.. OOOO..WEEE GOODBYE TO EVERYTHING.. :cool:
