Create setting that doesn’t make matchups of the same teams. It’s frustrating when it happens 5x in a row & is boring & not fun.Fix this; player goes out of bounds untouched & the clock still runs. Takes advantages & disadvantages out of the game.

I have played through Superstar mode with full careers with 2 QB’s now. The mode is cool, but it could really use a few simple upgrades that would make it better. 1) continuity. If I play thru 10 seasons with a QB and won 10 Superbowls- it should be mentioned by commentators. They should show some of the records etc that you hold, and compare you to greats. It would make it much more engrossing. And my coach acts like it’s our first superbowl appearance every year. And the commentators never mention that we’re the current champs. Small things like that would make it more engrossing.2) Input with GM/coach on team moves. You should be able to chat with your GM and tell them what you’d like them to pick up to make the team better. For example- be able to tell them to trade a certain player, or to target a certain player or player type in trades. Or to tell them what sort of things you’d like to pick up in the draft. A good example of this is: during my career with Buffalo for some reason we ended up with James Cook and Isiah Pacheco at RB for a few seasons straight, and only one of them every played. It made no sense to have the money tied up into 2 top 10 RB’s when I could have used some help on the offensive line, or out wide. I know franchise mode exists, but I’d like to see some involvement with the roster as the star qb in superstar mode. It would also be great to be able to move around your depth chart on offense as a qb, or have some input. Like why do I have to deal with Khalil Shakir at 5’10” being an outside reciever for 6 seasons instead of being in the slot where he belongs.3) it would be great to not fumble the ball constantly while holding the protect ball button with a 99 overall running QB. 4) why can’t I pick the weather during superstar mode? If I’m playing in Buffalo I’d love to play more than 1 snow game every 10 seasons, that makes no sense to me.

I have a lot of ides to improve franchise mode. I spend most of my time there and I think these ideas would help. 1. Ability to edit schedules. Leave division games alone but the rest available. 2. More in depth scouting and draft process. 3. Ability to "gage interest" in a trade from another team. Too often they accept to quickly when maybe I could have gotten more. 4. Ability to start negotiating contracts 2 yrs out instead of only the last year. There are times where there are too many players in last year. 5. As part of the scouting process the Ability to unlock actual ratings. Not all of the players on the draft. Maybe a point system but for example I'll draft a guy with 4.24 speed and he has 96 speed and another player has 4.34 and has 99. It's very inconsistent. These are just a few and some could be done asap.

Hey, I’ve been a fan of madden and keep up with the games, I’m very frustrated with the game, in franchise mode rookie is too easy and when you play pro when the computer wants to win they are going to win. It’s ridiculous can we have a difficulty between pro and rookie please!!

Option routes need to be tuned to account for the changes in match Coverage. Since they haven't changed, what's happening now is option routes are running INTO the help defenders instead of away from them.Fix the "TE chip bug". When the TE chips the edge rusher, the tackle double team blocks on the D tackle and ignores the edge rusher for the rest of the play. Leaving a straight line to the QB. They need to double during the chip, then come back and catch the edge rusher instead. Point of the chip is to slow the edge down to help the tackle. Not do the job for the tackle alone. Apply "physics" to blocking. Same as for tackling. Weight, speed, angle, etc...should apply here. Left Tackles need to be more aware of the inside edge rush. They keep over-setting and giving up the inside to the edge rusher. Doesn't matter what their ratings or abilities are. From a 60 rated rookie to Trent Williams, this issue is consistent. Match Coverage effectiveness should be impacted by Zone Coverage rating. And not do automatic. The matchups should matter. Play action pass pro needs to marry up with run blocking looks. Where's the deception here? Especially for outside zone compliments.Online H2H games, let us know which team we're playing BEFORE launching the game. Season is over and we should be stuck playing vs folks spamming Philly, K.C., Bal every single game. Takes the fun out of it. Non-playoff team player ratings need to go back to end of season (Week 18). You wanna rack and stack the playoffs teams' ratings...cool. But LEAVE THE NON-PLAYOFF TEAMS ALONE. These players didn't get better or worse since the playoffs started. No reason why they're effected by the results of playoff games. Give us a Cover 4 and Cover 6/9 shell in audibles.

Draft/Scouting players ideas

When you have a player 90% scouted, you should be able to reveal their dev trait, hidden or normal. Or you should allow us to unlock their dev trait after the private workouts or focus player scouting.

next, you should add compensatory picks. Sometimes I can’t get a good trade for a player because of his age or dev trait, so I release him. Eventually a team picks him up. Compensatory picks would fix this.

I can’t even believe how bad the passing mechanics are in this game. You’ll have a guy wide open do defenders even near you and go to make a 15 yard pass and it’s pick city. Really need to step up how the defensive players act. The have no **bleep** brain whatsoever. A defender will not even be looking at your corner but run 5-10 yards while the balls in the air and make an interception. **bleep** GAME DO NOT DOWNLOAD.

I’m honestly so disappointed in this game. In everything from the animations you get trapped into to how my defenses refuse to make a play on the qb while scrambling. If my offensive player gets breathed upon a little too hard he drops it while I can smack the opposition in franchise mode hard and they still manage to catch it no matter what and the whole rapid tap x to make the tackle mechanic is one of the most garbage features to have been included into a madden game. Please fix these features because literally everyone I have known to have enjoyed madden has stopped playing it because of just how bad it has gotten.
