Better character creation features/suggestions
One of my favorite things about video games is the ability to customize my own characters and enjoy the great visual experience that the game has to offer. I've been playing Madden since 2007 and every year the first thing I do when I turn on the game for the first time is go over to character creation and see what features might have been added or changed. I love creating my own draft classes to use in my franchise modes and seeing certain characters come to life. With that being said, this aspect of the game has had very minimal attention in many years and is something that can add new life to the game. I love the face creation ability you have as a player in franchise mode and that is something that would be great for all created players. Some real life players look a little "vanilla" compared to how they look watching them live on TV. With the power of next-gen I feel that there is a ton of potential to take this to a new level in Madden 24.
Equipment Suggestions
- Being able to pick home/away equipment for players
- Be able to pick equipment for cold weather games (other than just long sleeve temp.)
- Add Riddell Speedflex helmet (seen on trailer)
- Add ability to wear multiple arm bands or sleeves on each arm (ex-Jamal Adams)
- Add ability to wear tape and sleeves together
- Add upper-arm bands
- Add more cold weather gear (ex- neck scarves and hoods)
- Add mouth guards that attach to the helmet
- Add rolled sleeves
- Add loose long sleeves
- Add knee braces under socks
- Add shoulder braces
- Add hand warmers built into jersey

CREATION SUGGESTIONS
- Get rid of the skin/face templates (a lot of the faces don't resemble the pictures and can be way too big or small)
- Allow users to create all players like face of the franchise or as a player in franchise mode
- Allow players to add tattoos to their characters (Have a variety of template tattoos for users to place on visible parts of player)
- Add more hair/facial hair options
- Better QB stance options (maybe even a custom throw creation)
- Allow players to pick individual celebrations for touchdowns, first downs, etc
- Add custom pregame introductions/routines
Visual Suggestions
- Add tattoos to make real players look more authentic
- Add more to pregame (players engaging with fans, signing autographs pregame warm ups)
- This would also be an amazing playable feature in franchise mode
- Make the players on the sidelines authentic and animations more lively
- have players wearing hats and cape coats in cold etc.
- Have fans in stadium be determined by record, outcomes during games etc.
- Add mascots and add more authenticity to playing at each stadium (ex-Patriots shooting guns after touchdowns, Vikings blowing the horn, Seahawks 12th man waiving flag etc.)
- Add real offensive and defensive coordinators to sidelines
- Add referees back on the field
- Change weather conditions, playing in the rain, snow, heat, etc shouldn't have the same feel to it
- Add light rain/snow, heavy rain/snow. etc
- Have post game jersey swaps, interviews etc.
- Make the playoff experience in franchise mode stand out from regular season games
- Have post game trophy celebration for conference championship games
- Better Super Bowl
- Winning team wearing merch after game
