DaRock Posted February 3, 2003 Share Posted February 3, 2003 What would you like to see improved on the next madden game. Me for one, in the franchise mode, I would like to see a more realistic draft such as announcing, also presenting the cap and jersey. What are some more improvements or additions that could be made, there aren't many? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dchogs Posted February 3, 2003 Share Posted February 3, 2003 I've only come across a few glitches (phantom catches and the like). Some frustrating ones are similar to the real game though (lack of reply by the booth during final 2 minutes). The only real change i would make is during the draft. Some times all the scouting reports are glowing on an individual, the stats are solid, but he ends up being 10-15 pts lower in overall ability. I know the real draft isn't an exact science either, but having 5 reports touting a kid and having his times and reps better than another guy only to have the guy suck is frustrating. Or maybe the draft mode is just too realistic for me...:laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@DCGoldPants Posted February 3, 2003 Share Posted February 3, 2003 If you are the CB and want to jump to stop a pass. Sometimes you hands just go up like you're catching it and flies over your head. Plus, the bouncing off of hands right into the CPU's happens too much. The replay needs to actually work. The graphics will show a knee down but the ref will say it wasn't. easier to create plays and just add them to any playbook. Players who go out of bounds always come back in and are the 1st to make a tackle. That's a no no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaRock Posted February 3, 2003 Author Share Posted February 3, 2003 Sometimes, I'll get like a 60 yard pass to gardner and then they go to the td celebration, and it will have ramsey and gardner celebrating together right after rod walked into the endzone. I then put ramsey at rb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK Posted February 3, 2003 Share Posted February 3, 2003 I'd love to be able to run an instant re-play, & then be able to challenge the call if I didn't agree with the call on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlitzFiftySix Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 I would love to be able to EDIT the ALL-TIME GREAT teams by correcting the highly inaccurate roster numbers and games. AND PLEASE BRING IT TO XBOX LIVE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignatius J. Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 Honestly my biggest bug is this: you can't motion from a play you design. I use motion a lot to figure out defenses and put blockers in a better position. I can't do this from plays I design. They should put motion options in. As a whole the playbook editor needs improvement, but not bad for a first go-round. -DB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yomar Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 It would be nice if you could choose a stadium in franchise mode...for instance I never use the Bears because they are always in Champaign, plus I'd like to be able to take the Skins back to RFK.

panel Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 I have had the game end on defensive Penalties. And it would be cool to see dreads coming out of Ricky William's and Tre' Johnson's helmets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimReaper21 Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 How about being able to return errant field goals, a la Chris McCallister. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddha Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 Hey Rykins, just edit LaVar's name and number and Michaels will say his name when he makes a play. Here are my two biggest suggestions for improvement. 1. Cut down on the passing game cheese factor. Even the league's top receivers shouldn't be able to leap in the middle of triple coverage for a reception, or get behind a prevent defense lined up 8 yards off the LOS. And the QB shouldn't be able to stand there for 10-15 seconds with a 4 man rush coming at him. Make the passing game harder to boost realism. 2. Make franchise mode more realistic by offering uploadable draft classes from the online servers, making the salary cap work more like in real life, and tweaking the computer response to trades. I was able to deal Matthews, J. Green, and R. Jones for 3rd round picks each. And I dealt Stephen Davis to New Orleans for Deuce and a 2nd rounder with NO ADVERSE CAP IMPACT. Give the ability to negotiate base salary and bonuses separately and add in the cap impact of cutting a player with a large bonus early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panel Posted February 4, 2003 Share Posted February 4, 2003 The famous "tuck rule" dosen't apply in the game. Historical player Sammy Baugh can't run, catch, tackle, or punt at all depite playing saftey and punter as well as QB. And the year Randle Cunningham made the all madden team as a punter, he can't throw or run, they only gave him punting attributes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yomar Posted February 8, 2003 Share Posted February 8, 2003 I knew there was something else, but I couldn't remember until now ... Offensive Linemen on human controlled teams never get the pancake blocks, but if you look at the stats at the end of the year, comp. team offensive linemen have 40+, and since pancakes are how performance is judged at the end of the year, the O-Linemen invariably see a drop in ratings every year. They need to fix that, either make human controlled OLinemen more capable of getting pancake blocks, or stop using it as a criteria of player performance.

They need to fix that, either make human controlled OLinemen more capable of getting pancake blocks, or stop using it as a criteria of player performance. This is one of my big beefs too. I built my franchise team around my O line and to see none of them at the pro-bowl ticked me off. I would also like to see the players 1-100 rating in the draft previews. I also get mad at cap issues. Why can any other team sign a player to a cheaper contract then we can? I actually bring back historic players just to trade them to other teams to get there cheap rookies. You should get more audible options too, or atleast let you pick 5 plays from your playbook to scroll thru when you audible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaRock Posted February 8, 2003 Author Share Posted February 8, 2003 God that pancake thing is a killer. I have to simulate at least a couple games a year just so my o line will stay level. I haven't tried ever to lock a player, but I wonder if you could lock on an o lineman?..and pour syrup over my 100 pancakes. The passing in the game defensively is unreal. I use wide screen just so smoot or champ for that matter doesn't get beat ..wth..they need to fix that. What camera angles do you guys prefer?

The Invisible Poster Posted February 8, 2003 Share Posted February 8, 2003 I would like it if they could make the draft more realistic, instead of having guy with fake names, like Dike Hurtz, Mike Rotch, or something to that effect. I want them to have real college players in the draft. I also want the computer to make trades, to increase the competition for high caliber players. I would also like it if they could get the pictures of all the rookies, like in Madden 2003 they didn't even have a picture of David Carr :doh:, and he was the 1st pick of the draft.

SkinInsite Posted February 8, 2003 Share Posted February 8, 2003 1. Gang tackling stats, i hate how playing a season without simulating my #1 tackler barely top 100 tackles 2. More pass rush, basically almost impossible to get sacks on default setting 3. Realistic passing game, make long pass much harder and short crossing, slants and wr screens much easier. 4. Punt and kick returns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want them to have real college players in the draft. It's my understanding that you can import the 2003 draft class from NCAA Football 2003. I'm holding out hope that as we get closer to the draft, Sony will put the draft class on the Madden servers for upload. I don't see why they wouldn't-- you can already get roster updates from the servers. One interesting thing though. I once drafted a RB in the 2nd round and changed his name to Lee Suggs-- then Al Michaels started to say his name when he made a play. This makes me think there may be a way to unlock the 2003 draft class, but I haven't come across a code yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@DCGoldPants Posted February 9, 2003 Share Posted February 9, 2003 You can't challenge a catch if its in the endzone. You can challenge the spot if a running is trying to press in but not a catch already there. Its sick. I had one in the Superbowl where 1 foot was 100% out of bounds and the other was 50%. How insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
