Re: How is your franchise going? Madden 18

Still have '17, since I've yet to find proof that newer ones are ever better (hopefully this will be the year...have said that for about 15 years). But this thread will do.


Started a franchise with updated rosters with the Jets. Started Darnold from the start. He ended up having a poor rookie season (12 TDs/18 INTs), but showed some great flashes.



Took Deangelo Hall out of retirement to be my slot corner. Signed Bjeorn Werner. Made some minor moves here and there. Ended up going 6-10 with a poor defense and offense, and had the #5 pick. From scouting, didn't think the draft class would be good, but ended up having the best class I've ever had. Only player not above 70 was my 7th rounder, who was a guy I picked solely on combine grade that was unscouted.



#5 overall was a 79 overall CB. Slow development, but good coverage skills. Instantly on the other side from Johnson. Don't remember the order of the others off the top of my head, but got a 77 overall LG, a 77 overall RG (moved Carpenter and Winters to OT), a 73 overall FS, and a 77 overall MLB, all normal development. But the best way by far my 6th rounder. 78 overall SS with superstar development! I run a 3-safety system (supposed to be 4-2-5, but in Madden, it's just Bear normal with one SS moved to LOLB).



My kicker, Santos, also went 21-21 on FGs! Granted, none 50+, but still. Pro Bowler. Signed Pat Mcafee for my punter. So we're definitely set there.


Signed Asamoah for depth at guard. Signed a TE that has 80+ catching, and I'll soon have him up to 80+ run blocking. Signed him the first year, actually.



In the offseason, signed Charles Johnson, Kevin Minter, a good FB, and a nickel CB.



Will have an extra 4th and 5th next year. Traded Enunwa for those picks. Had the depth at the time, kinda regretting it now. But still have that TE, Anderson, Kearse, and Pryor. Will probably draft one next season. Probably a slot.


Last, but not least, once Brady retired, I traded Bridgewater to NE for their 1st, which is where I picked up my 77 overall MLB.



Played 1 game in season 2 so far, and lost to MIA 9-7 (only played key moments).



Defense is definitely fun to play with. Moved Williams to DT, so he's acting as my 1 tech in my 4-2-5. Between Williamson and the rookie MLB roaming free, no team can run on us. Just need to get everyone on the same page with man coverage (wish I could do true split coverage, a la TCU).

How is your franchise going? Madden 18

Just started a new CFM with updated rosters as the Dolphins. After getting beat up pretty good Week 1 against the Bucs, we rebounded and beat the Chargers handily in Week 2. Week 3 saw us go to NY to play the Jets.



In a game that looked like was over and done with, we were trying to run out the clock on the ground. Kenyan Drake came out because he was exhausted and Kalen Ballage came in for a token carry. On his lone tote, he gained no yards, got stripped and saw the Jets scoop it for a TD. The Jets converted the 2-point conversion and we went to OT.



The Jets of course won the toss and started with the ball. In an 8-minute OT (why in Madden is OT not the same length as your normal quarters?) the Jets had a long drive that resulted in a FG with just 2:30 left.



Getting the ball back knowing we need at least a FG, our offense was on fire early in the game but cooled off considerably in the 4th quarter. I wasn’t too confident in what we were going to be able to do. They were kicking into 11 MPH wind, the the kickoff only made it to the 8-yard line and Albert Wilson hauled it in. Getting some great blocks, made one player miss and running past the kicker Wilson took it to the house for the walkoff win! That was my first return TD in M18 and damn it felt good!

Haven't touched the game since it first came out but recently started a Play Live Now CFM with the Raiders and am really enjoying it.

The offense is a mess with old/below average RBs and WRs and the defense has little identity as well. I'm pretty stoked to have 3 1st round draft picks too.

Finally having customer draft classes is a huge plus too because as a college football fan, I hated seeing fictional players

7-5 now following a 31-24 comeback W at home vs KC. They were up 24-10 heading into the 4th. Been having a blast doing Play the Moments coach mode. I'm going QB in the first round as McCown won't be returning and Bryce Petty is pretty bad.
