Hello, welcome to my new franchise. I decided to do something a little different; instead of one team, I decided a two-team franchise. I had a few in mind, but Detroit and Buffalo stuck out. I decided to do them. This will be just like a one team franchise, but just with two teams. Not much different. My goal is to get both teams to the Super Bowl, hopefully against each other.
Game: Madden NFL '10
Preseason/Regular Season Free Agent Guidelines:
- I cannot sign anyone over a 90 OVR, unless the current starter at that position is a 79 OVR or lower.
- I can sign 2 players with a OVR between 80-89, however if there OVR is between 85-89, the current starter must be a 75 OVR or lower. For players between 80-84 OVR, no restrictions.
- Players 79 OVR or lower, no restrictions.
Offseason Free Agent Guidelines:
(I have different sets of rules for offseason signings.)
- If I'm going for a player that would be a starter at his position, the current starter's OVR must be 10 points or lower. Let's say I want to get a 94 OVR QB, but if the current starter is a 87 OVR, I can't sign him.
- For backups, their OVR must be 5 points or lower than the starter's. Let's say my starting HB's OVR is a 84, and I want a backup, that backup must be 78 OVR (or less) or I can't sign him.
- For players at a position that I need (let's say I only have 1 SS), they don't have restrictions as long as I go for the appropriate player. Like I said, let's say I only have 1 SS, but that player is my starter with a 94 OVR; I can't go for another starter, but instead a backup. Same with a backup, I must go for a starter.
Trade Guidelines:
- If I'm trading for a starter (both for my team and the other team), I must include a 1st and/or 2nd round pick. This way if the backup doesn't do well for the other team, they can have get a potential starter in the 1st/1nd round.
- If I'm going to conduct a trade, it must be beneficial to the other team. I can't trade a 7th round pick for a 99 OVR player.
Other Notes:
- The reason I'm controlling all 32 teams is because I'm tired of seeing star players in free agency. Sure, every year there's a few stars in free agency, but in this game, it gets out of control. Also, I want to make sure the draft is realistic. The CPU drafts a QB even if the team doesn't need a QB. I'll also do trades for the other teams, but rarely, and only if it's needed. So the reason I'm controlling all 32 teams: to keep it realistic.
- If I do anything else important, I'll let sure you guys know.
I think that's it. Later on, I'll have recaps for both the Lions and Bills. Maybe even a few other updates if I get the time too. Thanks for reading.
