New Madden Wishlist

I'm not quite sure that anyone but Gibbs could give a true representation of Gibbs' playbook. Gibbs himself has said that his offensive schemes are undergoing major changes. With Gibbs perhaps emphasizing zone blocking in the running game and introducing shotgun formations, Gibbs' playbook in 2005 might look like something totally different from the one he had in the 80's.

True, I'm just hoping for something a little more truer to Gibbs is all, and not a re-hash of the previous year's playbook.

There aren't any true counter-treys in the current Gibbs playbook, and they included the shotgun last year for crying out loud.

One of the upgrades this year in Madden is supposed to be re-designed playbooks and new plays, so I've got my fingers crossed.

Very good point about the shotgun and counter-trey.

Regarding plays and playbooks. I love the fact that you can edit plays that are already in existance. :oink:

Here's a sneak peek of some of the new formations:

Wow. I'm excited already! Are these slides or microfiche? :oink:

i don't know but i use the redskins playbook but for some reason it doesn't have the wr reverse where the wr runs the ball instead of the halfback.

I'm down with the dime 3-2-6.

microfiche?! Now that's old school!

The formations are pics someone took from the floor at E3

I honestly think the playbook functions in Madden kind of suck. You can't do anything fancy without doing funny business with formations to import play-actions, interesting blocking schemes, reverses, etc. They need to fix that. If you move where the RB lines up it breaks the play action (at least visually). You should be able to design play-action plays of your own along with reverses, end arounds, etc. A hook and lateral would be nice, but that's probably too fancy. Although now that Spurrier is gone, my motivation for implementing the Emory and Henry is gone (he torched tennessee with it a couple of times), I'd still like to be able to split up the 5 O-linemen and put them where I want them (keeping to the rules, mind you). The also need to figure out that you can return FGs that don't go out of the endzone as if they were punts. You think they would have fixed that after the Ravens did it in a game against the Broncos (I believe) about 2-3 years ago.
