I'm launching another slightly refined career, after wrapping the last one up with 2 titles in around 25 seasons.

Now reducing my ability to target free agents to only one at a time, at any point.

Now reducing my ability to position-switch to only the generally familiar ones done in the NFL... LT/RT, IOL, DL, LOLB/SOLB/DE, FS/SS. Ruling out the stuff I like to do that's cheesy... WR to TE, CB to S, etc. as too exploitative.

Ok, as M25 wraps up, I think I finally have my sweet spot for a solo Madden 25 Franchise mode challenge, long term:

-My team only adds players through the rookie draft, no free agents, no undrafted rookies

-Every season I trade my team's 1st and 2nd round picks to another team for their 6th and 7th

-Trading set to VERY HARD

-Contract extensions may not extend the duration beyond the player's request

-Position switches are legal

(some other minor details not coming to me at the moment... I skip most of the background stories, and other things that aren't "rules" to me, just not stuff I do)

One career about 20y deep and I have won the title once, made one more superbowl, but my eventual equilibrium (one initial league rosters are phased out) has been in the 6-10 win range -- usually a contender but not superpower

Every season I hit the draft really needing to hit certain positions, nearly always drafting for starters, and not picking until 70th or so means I need to get lucky... it's not easy to just pile up high-ceiling players when you miss the obvious wave of them in the top 30-60 picks. Getting a passable QB is tough but essential. Same with pass rushers - really hard to get high quality.

Pretty fun. I will likely buy M26 because they seem to have made some interesting tweaks to the franchise mode... I hope I am able to steer clear of the Ultimate Team time/money suck but I'm a weak person, so prolly not.
