    Interactive OS Madden 08 Franchise



    As voted on we will be managing the Detroit Lions!




    I've had this idea for a while - an interactive franchise where people vote on polls and make all the team management decisions together. Everything from depth chart, free agency, draft picks, coaching hires, etc. will be decided right here in this thread by YOU the people. I'll be streaming the games on twitch where we can all watch the team that we have built strive for gridiron greatness... or tank for a good draft pick. whatever you guys decide! If you want to get involved with this make sure to turn on notifications on mobile so that you don't miss any votes. The polls do not have a set time they will end unless otherwise stated by me, they will end at my own discretion when I feel there is either a decisive winner or there have been a sufficient number of votes. If theres a question with several possible answers such as 'who should we draft? I will limit the poll options as necessary. You can post in the thread at any time to discuss the franchise, the team, the current poll, who you voted for, suggestions, or just let me know you're following along! The more people involved with this, the more fun it will be.

    Current Poll: Who should we draft?

    Fantasy Draft Round 3 Pick 10

    I'm playing Madden 2008 for the PC with coach mode on, so I won't have any effect on the gameplay - just sitting back and watching like on Sundays. I'm using several mods, franchise guides, and sliders from footballidiot.com which includes things like updated uniforms, stadiums, and NFL rules. As always, im shooting for authentic NFL gameplay. and I feel Madden 08 delivers the closest thing to real simulation football.

          Thanks everyone for voting so far! Lions and Cowboys are tied for NFC, Dolphins lead in AFC. I'll wait for some more votes to settle any ties before closing the polls. Next one will be the top NFC team vs AFC team head to head to determine which one we will be using.

                If not my Cowboys, I gotta go Lions. Rizzo has got the Dolphins going and a good friend of mine is a faithful lions fan, it would be great to have that turned around.

                  The votes are in and we will be using the Detroit Lions as our team!





                  I would like to see some more votes before I end the polls in the future but I want to speed this up a little - hopefully more people will start following. Before we get to the fantasy draft, here is some info about the team that might be important to know.

                  The Lions coach is Ron Marinelli

                  -runs a 4-3 defense and a balanced offense (Lion's playbooks)
                  -not a very aggressive coach
                  -he strongly favors the defensive side of the ball
                  -91 defense rating and a 61 offense
                  -splits carries 50/50 between the 1st and 2nd halfback
                  (This is important to know, make sure we have a good backup HB)


                  For the fantasy draft, I'll be making a poll for the first 22 picks (enough to choose each starter on offense and defense). The rest will be simulated.



                  Here is the first fantasy draft poll: Who should we draft? Fantasy Draft Round 1 Pick 10





                  Feel free to discuss the options! Make your case for who we should choose. I'd love to hear your thoughts. Thanks to everyone who votes.

                    I voted for Ed Reed let’s give Coach Marinelli the best defender

                      Re: Interactive OS Madden 08 Franchise

                      I voted Champ. When I used to do fantasy I would usually get a QB 2nd-3rd round. A strong set of corners is super important and allows you to do more defensively.

                      I would also usually snag a good receiver fairly early for a primary target, then get the rest in the middle rounds.

                      Overall focus on defense, given your coach. I’d say maybe RB’s back to back around 15-20 or so. It all really depends how fast they get snatched. If you snag them back to back it should be a fairly even set between RB1-RB2, which is key given how he coaches

                        I said the DT because I'm assuming the number in parenthesis is age, and have a 22 year old at 97 overall means you could have him for nearly a decade and build around him. When I do a fantasy draft, age is one of the biggest factors for my picks. If a guy is 1 or 2 points lower, but 5 years younger, I will take him because of the long term

                              The question is are we trying to win now, or in the future?
