-I forgot to mention that they should rate special teams players (the special teams defensive and recieving units)
-the spectacular catch weapon doesn’t really work (we need to see more one-handed catches, diving catches without pressing {xbox-X} {playstation 3-square}
-precision passing needs to be fixed tremendously
-in superstar mode the quaterback (when not a quarterback) always throws a bullet pass they never lob it

-what happened to the chain gang in next-gen madden.
-what happened to the refs being on the field.
-what about the players coming out for the coin toss.
-the player introductions are to flashy for exhibition games.
-the player models need to be fixed a little better, long hair and dreadlocks not in ponytail for some players, what happened to tattoos (the shoulder pads get too big when you edit the player)
-they need more gear for the players to wear
-a more interactive franchise like the owner mode on playstation 2 (bring back Tony Bruno or something?)
-real facemasks for the right helmets, straps on the visors like NCAA 09
-a Devin Hester that really plays like Devin Hester. even though his speed is 100 he gets caught to easily by LB’s and DB’s. he can’t eluda a tackle to save his life
-why do attributes drop from 100 in the franchise
-Marion Barber’s stiff arm needs to be 100
-put the historical teams on the game forget the legends roster pool
-finally Willie Parker is not faster than Adrian Peterson

exactly what i was thinking…how hard would it really to get this in?…i HATE the Reebok cleats so much[/quote]

I must say… that in my 25-odd years as a gamer… that I have never looked at my character’s shoes and noticed that they were the wrong kind. Honestly, I wouldn’t know one way or the other anyway… nor do I care.

Really… how do you even know that they wear Nikes over Reeboks? Is this just something you notice during a tense game on a Sunday afternoon?[/quote]

its not that i notice whether its Reebok or Nike in a real game, but u can easily see that there is variation in what they wear in regards to color/design–not specific brands. in the video game u definitley notice so i should be able to control all aspects of what the players wear. my gripe is on the same level as the people wanting field goal nets, towels, refs, etc. if they have it in real life it should be in the licensed game…like different cleat options.

to me there is a big difference between these:

I hate the Cowboys but I sure hope EA fixes their helmets. The star has always been way too big….

Also, I hope that they include classic jerseys. Dallas’ dark uniforms from the late 80s were sweet….

My hope for Madden 2009 and all Maddens in the future is for them to steadily make the game more and more realistic…From visuals, uniforms, sidelines, stadiums, etc. down to every little nuance of the real game…

If it’s in the game, I want it ‘in the game’…

Ya know?

[quote comment="19702"]Dear Phil Frazier,
I love the changes to the game that I have seen. Why not update the equipment that the players wear? Those long white/black things that look like socks that is supposed to be tape, get rid of it, please. Most player in the NFL wear Nike cleats, I know Reebok is the uniform sponser but not the shoes, so please change this. While at it add the teams colors to the shoes. We need offical gloves, not just the primary color of the team, orange Chi. Bears’ gloves (and orange cleats). Fix the player model sizes. Linebackes should not be as large are larger then D-linemen. Change the play selection back to what it was for last-gen. Even the Wii Madden got it right. CPU vs CPU. Let me watch the games. Make us love Madden Football games again. PLEASE!!![/quote]

JB,

Thanks for the feedback! Hopefully Pasta or someone else has some more insight for us. It would be disappointing for NCAA to have it and Madden doesn’t. I still play 08 on Xbox for that feature, along with all the other features that make legacy gen better than next gen. I guess we’ll have to wait and see.
