Looks like madden wants to widden the field. not sure it would fit inside of lambeau or some of the other older stadiums.

get rid of the hard plastic shell on the helmets. make the things bigger and softer so they aren't weapons, but still cushion blows

same with shoulder pads. if nothing else cover the outside of the plastic with the same stuff they use on the inside

making the field a few yards wider will only allow guys to generate even more speed. collisions will be even more violent. i like the semi-hard shell helmet idea though.
