So uh, what questions do I harass the Madden guys with this year at e3?
1. can we draft from the web this time?
2. can we have vision cone back?
3. can we get a detailed transaction list for cuts, trades, signings, retirees, etc?
4. can we get detailed explanations on what each attribute actually does?
5. can we get a "reset game result"?
6. is ballhawk still in the game? if so, can it be turned off?
7. can the game/yearly goals be adjusted depending on quarter length? in other words, patrick willis has a goal of 120 tackles for a season. in a league with 7 minute quarters, this is basically impossible so he never meets that goal. tons of instances like that. the requirements should be a sliding scale depending on quarter length
8. is there the option to continue vs. cpu?
9. is the player of the week determination better this year and not just based on TD returns? a guy with 1 tackle and 1 pick 6 gets player of the week over a guy with 7 sacks in madden 13
10. can man lock make a comeback so i can assign one defender to follow a receiver anywhere he goes?
11. is there a practice squad?
12. can we actually have a practice mode instead of XP only practices?
13. can we scrimmage against other players in the league?
14. can we scrimmage against other teams in the league? as in if i'm the 49ers and i want to practice against the eagles, but CB isn't around, can i practice against his CPU team.
15. is negotiating with free agents improved? like maybe a back and forth on the amounts and actual negotiating?
16. will progressions make more sense for players who have break out years? i had a 2300+ yard all purpose year with LMJ and he was still a low 70's player the next year
17. are the divisional rotations fixed? last year the nfc west played (in order of season): 1. afc east/nfc north, 2. afc north/nfc east, 3. afc east/nfc north 4. afc south/nfc south. it's like the game didn't "see" the first season and just started from scratch. i was denied my destiny against the AFC west!
18. is stat tracking ever going to improve? i want to see where a RB gets his yards (left, right, middle), where a qb gets his yards, defensive points allowed is not tracked properly (it just counts any points the other team scored, but me throwing a pick 6 shouldn't count against my defense nor should a KR/PR)
19. is kicking being adjusted? it's too easy. the only alternative is turning kicking meter down so the only possibility for a miss is missing it short because your kicker doesn't have a strong enough leg. as it stands now, the only reason you would miss is because of a lag spike or you read the wind meter wrong (and it is wrong in the game)
20. is the wind meter fixed to show the correct direction?
21. is the deep ball improved? can you actually throw deep over the top in tight coverage without the ball being picked off?
22. will there be more frequent injuries to offensive players? specifically, offensive lineman and QB's?
23. custom playbooks and/or create a play in CCM?
24. draft history section so we can see players drafted in every round of previous drafts we had?
25. maybe a league vote section for trade approvals or player of the year or pro bowl voting or player of the week voting?
26. ARE REPLAYS BACK IN CCM SO WE CAN SAVE AND AUTOMATICALLY UPLOAD FOR EVERYONE TO SEE THE BULLSHIT PLAYS?
27. can we have temporary subs that don't erase a coaches history? for instance, if i'm out of town but a human player volunteers to play my game for me, can he sub just for that one game without me being booted from the league and thus losing my career record?
28. will the website be less cluttered and actually allow me to do team related items i need to do? pick up FA's, drop players, trades, ratings, etc.
