Thread for ideas which could possibly be added to this app, shortcomings of the existing Madden 08, etc.
A few of these:
1. CPU does not initiate trades or evaluate talent very well...
2. Poor roster management, CPU can end up with three kickers or 4 QBs (or sometimes just 2 QBs)
3. Added realism with players missing games due to suspensions, personal time off

I'm going to use an example from my franchise to show how big a problem this is. Once, I had an AI team with five quarterbacks, three kickers, and five punters. Then I saw another team with six centers and 12 offensive tackles, with only three guards.

I'm hoping we can use player evaluation to remedy this. Sort the QBs from best to worst, and the #4, #5 etc. QBs will get rated as being extremely expendable/tradeable.
Re: Objectives/wish lists
In the real NFL coaches are iconic figures and a huge part of the success of the team, In madden they don't matter at all. I want someway to make coaches a more important part of the game. I don't think messing with the playcalling AI is doable or would even be effective. My worry is that because our ability to mod madden is so limited the only way I know how to do this is to add another system which modifies player rating slightly. The problem is that adding more and more systems that slightly modify player ratings doesn't seem like it will really change the game experience that much.

Perhaps we should make the glass half-empty rather than half-full on this one. Coaches have ratings for chemistry, work ethic, motivation... maybe if these ratings are good, leave the players as-is, but if these coach ratings are lacking, the players lose cohesiveness, squabble in the locker room, decide not to practice/play, etc.
