360 Madden 2007 Wishlist

[HittinAgenda]

You'd think that this would be the first thread on this forum. Here's my list so far:


Individual defensive playmaker controls
Smart run blocking. My FB is always looking for the second level block before picking up the nearest guy except on counters.
Lower DB awareness. Some of these guys literally have eyes in the back of their heads
Collision detection. I love running over guys, but I'm not crazy about running through them.
Tone down the speed boost. Sure a lot of guys have great breakaway speed, but how often have you ever seen a real life WR beat a CB by 10-15 yards to the endzone when there's not a blown coverage.
Fix the hurry-up. Four seconds to line up 60 yards from the previous line of scrimmage?!??!?
Tone down the pile dive and provide a defensive counter. I've yet to be stopped on the 1 yard line.
Shift the controlled player with the rest of the line/secondary. Isn't there enough defensive adjustments to make without worrying about manually moving your player too?
Make the replay available after the next play's been called. Minor detail, but I love looking at the beauty of the replay and hate interrupting the flow of my playcalling to do so.
Shut the coach up! Alright spread wide right split release alright spread wide right split release alright spread wide right split release alright spread wide right split release alright spread wide right split release alright spread wide right split release....
Give us a footdragging animation for the WRs going out of bounds.
Remap the pass fake control to the R-stick by default. That's the only control that I just can't live without changing.
Add the "hot" audible option back to the playcalling options.
Improve the presentation package...I want Boomer!!
Coach's Challenge anyone? I thought this was a relatively worthless animation that was forgiveable for leaving out of 06...I was wrong.

Nice list... I'll add some:

1) Hot routes back to the old system
2) Hello... Practice mode? Where did that go?
3) Same for mini-games... with the 360 Live system, you could play them while waiting for your friends to show online!
4) Missing feature: DB shading
5) Challenge plays both on AND offline.

Interesting link to a guy ranting about ALL that is missing:

This game looks great, and I just hope EA gets back on the ball with the feature set for 360 Madden 07

Why do people want to add challenges to the game? I hate challenges in RL, and I don't want them in the game either. I had this argument with a buddy the other day.

My point, is LOOK, I;m sorry if the animation the computer chose made it look to you that you really got the first down, or were in bounds or whatever. However, the formula the computer used to figure out the answer said you were short, out, dropped fumbled or whatever. Get over it and don't waste my time with challenges.

I can see the argument that it would add a real life layer of -strategy- to the game that is currently missing. However, I can live without that. I've got plenty of bad coaching decisions to make as it is, thank you.
