My floor joists bounce, and the floor isn't level. What do i do?

My floor joists bounce, and the floor isn't level. What do i do? I was thinking concrete followed by plywood to strenghen it.

Answers:

1If your joists are weak enough to bounce, you don't want to add weight to them (concrete, wtf?)

What I'd do is build a support wall underneath the joists at the middle of the span. If you have a finished basement, call a contractor, he can better assess what to do than anyone here without seeing it.
