Rise Above the Madden Rebuild

[Culture Rot]

As well written as the article is, Madden is a "one and done" type of game, and has been for a decade sadly. I guess we will see this year.

Lets not forget Tennessee they are on my radar

Also i draft qbs in the second to third round mostly when i rebuild it will be fun running with a team with a losing record this year in the past it was Carolina before Cam Newton blossomed.

Re: Rise Above the Madden Rebuild

I found it way more enjoyable rebuilding college teams in NCAA, I would pick two teams each year and build powerhouses out of them within a couple seasons. We had 120 different programs to chose from not to mention those great college playbooks that you customize. How I miss that game...

Re: Rise Above the Madden Rebuild

Ha, i usually pick the saints each year, turn them into heavyweights in two offseasons, not this year, u cannot pay me to take the saints and rebuild them, prayers go out to whoever tries.
I will be investing my time in rebuilding my niners in my cfm instead. I also have the bolts in another cfm that i will attempt to rebuild, wish me luck!!!

Funny thing is I ran two test CFM with the 49ers my first one got fired and got hired on with the colts (1-15). 2nd one I finished 5-11 and building them thru the draft. Since reading this. I may have to keep my colts one lol

Re: Rise Above the Madden Rebuild

I have a tough choice to make. I have 2 CFM's both with the 49ers. I will explain below. I am in preseason with both of them.

1) I ended the season 1-15 (simmed) got fired and picked up by the Colts. I got a decent offense but, the defense will be a rebuilding project. (rookies on both sides of the ball)

2. I went 5-15 with the 49ers (simmed). I drafted a new QB and has basically a total rebuilding job on both side of the ball. (rookies on both sides of the ball)

OR

3. Start a new CFM with a bad team or rebuild team and do a best available pick draft with no scouting players and only bidding on the best FA of preseason of the next year. (Packers theory of drafting players)


HELP!
I don't decide what to do!


Thanks,

Re: Rise Above the Madden Rebuild

I thought this article would be about rising above the rebuilding of CFM which is popular on here at the moment. Ha :P


To the guy above, think to yourself, do I really want to go through Year 1 again? I start 2 CFMs per Madden, one with the Week1 Rosters so all injuries are up to date and a second one with the final roster and script the year to match the W/L for all teams in the real NFL. Running more than 1 CFM at once would be tiring for me. Go with your gut.

Re: Rise Above the Madden Rebuild

Since EA/Tiburon can't or won't change how CFM draft works, I guess it took an NFL team to adhere to the Madden system of acquiring draft picks, playing the draft..I am gonna just say I am building my team through the draft like the Browns are doing for 2017 & 2018.. Whew, that was easy...

This entire article is about not doing a "rebuild" as those are predictable and really not that hard when you only have one direction to go.

Try picking a middle of the road team, and then decide on the exact path to take later during the CFM.

Rebuilds are overrated--take on a new challenge!

I've been looking around at other teams. The Colts are looking nice.

What teams are on the list for Madden 18? I had a blast with the Colts on 17.

Last year was.
Loins
Colts
Vikings
Texans
Jags

I say you could add:
add the Bengals, Buccaneers, Redskins, Titans, Eagles, Bills, Cardinals and Chargers to the mix.

Re: Rise Above the Madden Rebuild

I always play as the Ravens no matter what, but the funnest and most difficult seasons I have had have typically been when they've been a middle of the road team.

I'll probably end up getting M18, and a good part of the reason is the current makeup of the team. I think this year should provide a fun experience, though it may depend on Flacco's Madden contract.
