The "Experience Point " system needs to be revised.  The current system if u do "In Game Drills" you can only work with 3 players.  That's not realistic. 

There should be individual defensive assignments.

A draft board is a major plus along with the ability to participate in the draft via a smart phone or tablet/laptop.

Ability to customize and/or edit incoming rookies...have the option to import custom draft class

1. Ability to set formation subs like in NCAA Football. For example, permanently sub my blocking TE in for my receiving TE in certain run schemes so I don't have to every game.

2. Setting a draft board would be great for the reasons mentioned above

3. Revamped Game Prep. I can run drills with my LBers but not my O-line, so they don't develop as fast. Maybe have a MUT like scenario for Game prep where if you accomplish it you get 2K XP to spend on your team any way you like, but if you fail it, you only get 1K. This way I can focus on who I want rather than those few I can only run drills for.

4. No more in-game, weekly, season XP rewards for goals met. This isn't SIM at all. WR Jordan Matthews catching ability wouldn't get better just because he makes a pro bowl. And it leads to league imbalance when after a few seasons the top 4 people have an incredibly improved roster, where as the average to below average players have a roster that's barely improved. So now they really have no chance to win. Although I know this won't happen because some players these days want to be rewarded for every 1st down they get.  And I know EA folds to the social pressure of this. But perhaps we can severely pull back on the rewards given. The imbalance of any CFM league is ridiculous after a few seasons because of how XP is earned for meeting goals.

Or better yet, let the CFM league admins have the ability to set/customize this.

5. Bring back community play so we can play practice games with our friends using our league sliders

6. Bring back online team play. That was a blast.

7. Add a crime/character/morals attribute to players. If they've been busted for substance abuse, wife/girlfriend abuse, DUI, etc, the attribute will be lower. So Josh Gordon's would be around a 50. If it's low, there's a chance either in the off-season, or during the season they'll get arrested, or fail a drug test. Then they'll get suspended. Hey, EA say "If it's in the game...it's in the game." Well, it's in "the game".

FORMATION SUBS Let people set their lineups outside of the game. I want to set my kickoff team, or my own nickle defense. However make it so if players put starters all over special teams they increase getting injured

Bring back matchups, having LBers get stuck on WR's constantly is awful. Let your best corner follow who you want

The rest


1. MAKE MUT A SEPARATE GAME. MUT players and sim Franchise players cannot co-exist. MUT has ruined Madden.

2. Ability for commishes to make moves for all teams, including drafting, re-signs. It is hard to get 32 people to draft and the CPU makes terrible picks. People go on vacation and their teams do stupid shit.

3. The draft, franchise drafting, and scouting is terrible. There is zero ability to sort well on console.

4. Allow practice hours in scrimmage to be done all at once for one player instead of making you exit and enter 6-8 times if you are improving one player per week (scrimmage)

5. Get rid of the stupid catch animations let the WR AWR dictate how they should catch the ball

6. Improve the invite system it is a mess and people constantly have to clear mac address or cache

7. Either restructure contracts, give us options to front or back load. If you have 20 million free cap in season you should be able to accelerate paying someone's contract rather than have it go to waste

8. Customize draft class player names, new pictures one of these years

and lastly....

FORMATION SUBS Let people set their lineups outside of the game. I want to set my kickoff team, or my own nickle defense. However make it so if players but starters all over special teams they increase getting injured

For daddy league!

1. Let us draft through DL.
2. Career totals on site like XFN used to do, even if it's totals JUST for our time in league

I'd like to see them bring back the defensive assignments and the ability to double cover a player. Also like everyone has stated, the draft boards NEEDS TO COME BACK. It's hard to take into account what time a draft should be when dealing with different timezones. The contract adjusting would be nice to have but there needs to be some structure to it because then you'll have guys cheat the system like many do for the free agency. Also with the free agency bidding there has to be more than who bids the most money and the bonus truly should out way the salary. Tired of seeing people offer 70 mil contracts with 0 guaranteed and then they can cut that player at no expense vs a player offering 20 mil guaranteed and 40 mil salary. I'd like to see the a.I. developer better for the offensive line,defensive line  and linebackers especially on scrambling qbs. Better/more improved xp gaining. Also would like to see the regression on speed to be taken care of, not every player should decline at the age of 31 because that's what it is and same goes with awareness, I don't believe after a great season your player should lose awareness or even after a horrible because with experience they become more aware. Now maybe in the idea they go to a team that runs a different style of offense or defense then yes I'd agree on it dropping but not after each season. I'd like to be able to customize gear but that's not a need and it would be cool to have the opportunity to have different jerseys besides the same basic ones. I'm a jets fan and I'd love to be able to have more than just the green, maybe include the blackout jerseys or the bright ones that looked awful this season.

Madden needs a Salary Cap warning. As of right now if you accidently turn off the salary cap, you can't turn it back on. Madden should a warning that pops up asking for verification to turn off the salary cap.

Bring back scouting from madden 03. Previous play information should just show the formation.

We need more random stuff happen in game. Maybe an earthquake in San Francisco and it cancels the game and you have to replace half your roster from casualties. Maybe have Godzilla or some crazy superhero thing blow up Giants Stadium. Imagine playing and all of a sudden Spiderman and Green Goblin interrupt your game and blow up the stadium? That'd be awesome.

As a commish i would like to be able to set up a game senerio. So when ea disconnects on 2 users the game could go right back to were it left off. Or an auto save at certain points in the game because of disconnects. Also would like to be able to scrimmage in cfm. I think players should get some kind of xp for practice play.

1. A better (easier to use) audible system on Defense
2. Special Teams Depth Chart
3. Training Camp (where you get most of your XP)
4. Auto progression based on dev trait but keep manual XP
5. Face scanning for coaches
6. Uniform creation
7. Be able to make personnel subs by formation before you go into a game
8. Be able to edit CPU generated players hair
9. Abiltity to draft from a CPU or phone
10. DaddyLeagues phone app
11. Rookies should have better stamina (my rookie HB has to come out for 5 plays after being in for 3)

I could go on and on
