1. I would like the ability for people not being able to attend a live draft in CFM to draft from Daddyleague or from the computer maddencfm website. We had that ability 2-3 Madden ago.
2. During the practice mode of the CFM, having the ability to practice with 2 joysticks (currently can only use one). Purpose to practice with my CFM as I would be able to in the normal practice mode.
3. On Daddyleague, everyone would have the rights to sign players from the website without Admin rights. I have admin rights in 2 league and have the ability, but in one I don't and now I realize how unfair it is the those who don't have the same ability.
4. Have the ability to assign force wins and loses and shut off injuries to advance the league from Daddyleague.
5. Keep the XP sliders where the new patch placed them. We lost a lot of players with consistent losing records because they couldn't build their teams.
For the game:
1. Allow defensive Cbs to be assigned to cover individual wrs. My best Cb on my opponents best wr.
2. Put back in the Wr route fade audible that allowed wrs to beat man press. Took the 1 step motion out so now people just run man pressed nanos.
3. Bring back Qb wrap.

You guys are thinking small...

1) ability to break tackles for rb... Have it... It's called trucking
2) face scan... Who cares

We need this:
1. Hire a coaching staff - the coach should have an effect on the players performance. Wrong scheme loses attributes.
2. Regression needs to make sense. A wr doesn't go from 92 to 80 speed in one year.
3. Draft board should be set... That way if I miss the draft, the CPU picks who I want.
4. Get rid of scouting abilities. Just show stats, how he tested, and the college system. Shouldn't tell you if someone is a bust. Attributes shouldn't be known until wk 4 of preseason.
5. About favorite plays. If the opponent always runs verts in 3 and long, corner should jump it.
6. Back shoulder throw needs work.
7. Broken coverage doesn't happen on deep balls. All that happens is wr make Miracle catches once in awhile. More often than not.
8. Gameplan... Match the #1 corner with #1 wr... Could in Madden 05
9. More relocation choices.
10. When a patch happens, it should update current leagues. Stupid to release an XP patch that required leagues to restart. It's 2016... Figure it out
11. Beta a month before.
12. Bring back NCAA football.
13. Bring all offenses... Wing t, wishbone, etc. Old near and far... I want choices.
14. Give coaches a background. Former college champ, former player... Retire coaches

1. Draft pre-ranking board.  Setup a draft board for when you are not able to make draft.
2. Bring back live cfm draft functionality to madden connected careers (draft thru website on tablet, smartphone, or laptop)

With madden 16 for the most part fully updated since its abysmal launch for connected franchise mode and with madden 17 approaching i wanted to list features that I want to see introduced or make a return in madden 17. Of course i want everything that madden 16 currently offers for cfm to return.

Improvements to animation and ai functioning. In madden 16 they did some great work especially to animation. But animation and the ai need just a little bit more fine tuning.

For Owner Mode it would be great to have an external source of revenue. What i mean by this is for a source of revenue that is not from the merchandise and ticket sales. Majority of the owners in the NFL have a source of income outside the NFL and the game should reflect it.

XP that is earned from skill training needs to be more consistent. I failed a session i earn 300+ xp. With the same player i earn gold i earn 250+ xp. There does not seem to be really any consistency to how much u earn by completing these skill trainers.

Able to switch the type of defense or offense you play against in the free practice. I personally run a 4-3 defense in my league. In practice however it is always 3-4.

To be able to play against another human in free practice.

Bring back assigned coverage. They had a rough version a few maddens back and then took it out. If they improve on that old feature and bring it back in madden17 would be great.

Improve coach creator. NCAA before its cancellation had an excellent coach creator. Far more advanced than maddens creator. Just sick of seeing the same features.

For coaches mode add in coordinators to hire. Much like NCAA had create another layer to the game
Make certain games special again. Like Monday night games give them those great introductions that we had a few Maddens back.

Multiple sportscasting teams. No more of just Sim and Nantz. Let us have a team for CBS, FOX, NBC, and NFL Network. Vary it up instead of getting same sub-par commentary from the same voices over and over again.

Scrimmage/practice modes vs cpu/users at anytime in CFM. They could've added that easily at any time.

Draft boards. Seriously. EA devs must not play in full leagues.  It's impossible to get everyone to agree on a draft time. If we  can't draft while away from console (via internet) let us  create a draft board.

Draft  classes suck. Why are most corners stronger than Linebackers?  Why do most rookie FS/SS's suck? There  aren't any that ever stand out. There are never any fast HBs. Why so many midget WRs?

Ability to edit playbooks and scout online. Some things would be much easier to do while not on console.

Fix the menus and fluidity. Interface is clunky. Get rid of the stupid animations and whatnot on menus if it will make it run smoother. Stop resetting Sorting after you go in and back to the sorted screen.  Annoying as hell. Fix the Resume feature on Xbox One. It  doesn't work more than half the time and you almost always have to restart Madden.

Change how setting up user games. The invite/accept system has sucked for years. Fix it!!!!!

Cover/shutdown corners. Why  don't they exist?

I will take heat for this but make it harder to user LBs to cover nearly every part of the field or any wr.

Fix blitzes. Unless you Nano, it seems most blitzes rarely get fast pressure no matter who you  have on D.

I love the idea of a draft board as well and I like how combine stats were added to the game this year but I would like a little more freedom when it come to attributes. I would like to be able to choose which attributes are scouted, I believe the current 3 attribute system is skewed because NFL scouts would have a little more knowledge on a player than that. Again, I think they improved adding the combine results. Having a draft board is another thing I'd like to see. I know it's been spoken on but I think it has many different variable opportunities that go along with it. Lastly, the other thing I would like to see is an improvement with development. Last year I believe it was way to easy to develop players but now I feel it is way more difficult. Depending on a certain position, for example, Oline I don't believe it's as easy to develop a star lineman as it is an Avg QB. I'd like to see star players get a lot more XP because it would make them more valuable.

PROJ3CT FAT
MBL RAIDERS

Is this a general discussion on what we want from EA, or actual input that we would like DL to integrate into our league pages?

1.  Area that tracks the draft picks and their development - allow for people to see what the true value of a 1st / 2nd / 3rd round pick is.

2. Blast to the league when two players agree to a trade - I know a case can be made that someone wont want to be outbid, but this eliminates the CFM ruining 99ovr for scrubs / late round draft choice.

3. Ability to restructure a contract.

4. Able to make and set your own BPA draft board.

5. Apply all prep to one person without the monotonous clicks.

6. Choice to export your current CFM team.

7.  Random injuries (during practice) or suspensions that arise during the year.  Tie this to injury rating and/or the traits the player has.

I would like to see the CB assignment come back. Where you can put your best player on the top Wr's.

Here's a suggestion. When it shows the previous play's 'art,' Show the audibles / hot routes. Also, in the post game stats, have that information (play name and 'updated' art) available for review. Players have gotten quite adept at running 'different' plays then doing the same audibles / hot routing and thus, the same read. Or figuring out which plays offer the same 'concept' yet appear different. For example, the funky 'out route' on the Pit Slot Curl (gun, split close) is the same route and read as the Strong Close's WR out. There are some other plays that use the same pattern.

On Defense, it would more clearly show when ppl use the same blitz strategy over and over. It could be a total cheeze exposer on both sides of the ball.
