A football game in which you get to create your team from scratch, and battle it out with other teams online. Call it the PFL, or Power Football League. As in, you're playing with power.
- you design your logo
- you name your team
- create your full roster using "attribute points" - make your quarterback really good at the expense of having a crappy defensive line, etc.
- create or join leagues (all leagues would use the same NFL-style rules)
- as your team gets wins, you get attribute points to make your team better
- each league could have a seasonal draft composed of randomly-generated players - some "years" would have a lot of good QBs, some years would be heavy on tight ends, etc.
- winners of leagues could move on to regional, national, and then world championships (to keep things even, opponents would have to have played the same number of seasons, and therefore have had the same opportunities to draft players and build their team)
- players would get injured randomly, just like real-life
I think this would be incredibly cool, and a development team like Visual Concepts could pull it off. I think of how fun it is to do fantasy leagues on Yahoo, and play any game in which you can create characters, and this would be a blast. The possibilities would be endless, and it would really be a mainstream product.
And you wouldn't need an NFL License to do it.
BTW - Bloodworth moved this from Talkback because I'm a moron. Hostile Creation mentioned Eyeshield 21, which may be interesting.

Though I wonder if Eyeshield 21 will be purely football or if there will be story elements as well...

I suggested in the other thread including an Offical version of the USB memory card that would allow users to upload their custom players/teams to the Internet so they could exchange their creations with other people easily...
It would also allow someone to recreate their favorite NFL team without having to actually have the NFL lisence... meaning one could, in theory, download the entire NFL for their game without the developers having to pay for the NFL lisence (that, now, they couldn't get if they wanted...)
Just a thought...

And I'd still like to see a realistic, fully customizable tennis sim. But that's another topic for another day.

Doesn't everyone LOVE this argument?

I do...
And I'm sure that the actual PRO athletes who play all sports games religiously do as well.
By the way, you can play madden and customize the entire league, rosters included. You can also enable any cheats you like to make the game crazy , such as fumbilitis or bombs away...so yeah, it's been done. The whole online element would be great though.
If Nintemndo were smart, they would just make an old school Tecmo Super Bowl clone(arcade graphics though), and incorporate the customization.

Yeah, considering that all you need to do is press L OR R to juke. And as for holding the button to run fast, doesn't that make more sense than holding it to run slow? I think it does.
Listen, I hate it just as much as the next person that EA bought the NFL licenses for the next few years, but give them some credit at least.
