The Top Five Features That Should Return to Madden

[RaychelSnr]

Anyone who has ever played Madden NFL knows that with each iteration there are changes. There are almost always additions combined with subtractions, whether they be game modes, features, or menu options. In anticipation of Madden NFL 25, we're going to focus on the five features that we miss the most from past editions of Madden.

I would also add

In Game Saves
Weekly wrap up show (Extra Point, but done the right way)

[MAGboyswifT27]

I hope they bring back the ability to import our draft classes from NCAA... Good post though I had forgotten about some of these features from past titles.

I would love to see QB vision come back. That was one of the most realistic features to date. I do not know why people never liked it.

Re: The Top Five Features That Should Return to Madden

Import classes? Yes.
Fair Play? Definitely.
Vision Cone? YES.
Owner Mode? Hell Yeah.

Tony Bruno Show? For the love of god no. That was probably the most brutal thing ever to listen to in Madden with the guy announcing the game from his bomb shelter a close second.

Between the repetitiveness of it and the annoyance that is Tony Bruno. It was just too much. If it could be made to work somewhat decently, I'd give it a shot but if you're still having Teyo Johnson (or maybe in this case, Thomas Gafford) phoning in 10 years after he's out of the league and what not, don't even bother.

FAIR PLAY. also classic teams

[juice2142]

how about having multiple human users on a team? We played a season offline with 4 users sitting on one console and playing. That was the biggest thing missing in Madden 13 for us.

I couldn't agree more!!!!!

Twitter has replaced radio 2004.

Re: The Top Five Features That Should Return to Madden

Interesting list. Fair play is a great idea. Tony Bruno show would always get repetitive. Any of those "shows" will eventually become repetitive. Even the Twitter feed gets repetitive, however the twitter feed, as dumb as it is,isn't as annoying as an audio program. I'd prefer the Newspapers. EA can help create a new generation of paper readers.


Also, I hate to be that guy, but proofread that again.

New to Madden NFL 2005 was the Tony Bruno radio show. Billed as EA Sports Radio, the Bruno-hosted show played each week, and if users listened to the show they could hear interviews with players and coaches, hear Tony take calls fans, and hear about things happening in the your NFL world

Some constructive criticism.

Fair Play settings would get me back to playing online against random users. The OS leagues are great because you know who you're playing, but sometimes not knowing who I was playing gives me a rush.

BRING IT BACK!!!

[Guapo516]

Whaaaaatttt! I loved the tony and Bruno show. Looking I really thought that was 1 of the coolest things madden ever did. It was innovative and ahead of its time. It should be back, with out a doubt in my opinion.

But I think the mini games from ps2 should b back I used to love those. They teach, help sharpen skills, add more things to play, and are quite fun. Same as NCAA, haven't been buying NCAA or madden for may b 3 yrs now so idk if they do or dont but they shud def hav there option minigames or wat ever.

[Guapo516]

Oops I said tony and Bruno. Lmao *tony Bruno

I wonder if Madden Share will be what enables this if it returns this year. If they did it through an online mechanism they could tune and tweak the process throughout the year as necessary. Basically send your draft class into the cloud and it's processed and available a short time later in Madden.

Of course then the complaint would be that it requires online franchise, etc. People will have to get over the tradeoffs eventually and determine of those features and their requirements warrant the purchase.

If I were to bet I'd guess it isn't coming back though until NCAA adopts a similar CCM-style mode.

Re: The Top Five Features That Should Return to Madden

If they replaced Tony Bruno with Mike & Mike I would be all for it. But all of these features would be greatly appreciated. Having options can only be a good thing, especially in the world of sports video games.

Re: The Top Five Features That Should Return to Madden

I wouldn't really call this a feature I remember this from Madden 96 and wouldn't mind seeing pictures like this in the newsfeed of a CCM.
