    Re: What Team Or Teams Will You Be Using In Franchise Mode

    For my main franchise I'll be using my Chicago Bears. Can't wait to use Fields. Don't know how I want to handle Dalton/Fields just yet. Will make for an interesting decision.

    I'm really going to try and do a second franchise, Lots of possibilities. Like the idea of finding Big Ben's successor with the Steelers, Would like to see if Tua is the guy in Miami, or use the Raiders because of the simple but oh so sweet Silver and Black. I love the Raiders uniforms.

        There's only ever one answer from me: Broncos!

        The question becomes: what do I do with the team? Lately, the question is always QB. Sometimes I choose to trade the current QB to a new team (I always try to do them a solid and trade them to a team where they can start) and then draft a QB. Or, I go with the QB on the roster and adjust his stats based on what I saw in preseason.

        Also, the first year is almost always an effort in dumping massive contracts (Sorry, Von!).

          32 team control, play every game, starting once scouting patch comes out. Coin flip, heads for road, tails for home. I only get 3 or 4 seasons in, but I like it. Been doing it since Tecmo had the option to control all teams.

            Been working on my layout for my franchise updates/page. I think I have my weekly recap page down pretty good. Still tweaking a few things here and there but I like the layout for the most part.

              I'm thinking the Bears, WFT, NYJ, or Jacksonville...always pick 2 teams from each conference and then narrow it down.

              I can never use my fav. team in sports games, weird I know lol.

                I’ve done 32 team the past years and it’s a slog to get through.

                This year I plan to do 10 teams, 5 each in the AFC/NFC. This way I’ll still be immersed in the league, but it won’t take a whole day to go through resigning and free agency in the offseason.

                Until the scouting update comes out, I’ll do a fantasy league and work on my draft classes.

                  It's definitely a real grind. 21 I only got through one season, then got a ps5 and didn't really like the next gen version nearly as much as 2k next gen, so madden got little attention after that.

                      Packers once the scouting patch comes out.

                      But while I wait I’m deciding on an AFC team. Leaning towards the Browns, but I like the Bills and Titans as well…

                        Either the Patriots, my hometown team, or the Bengals, who I got into in 2020 as they're not far from where my wife grew up.


                        Probably use both at some point.


                        A POSSIBLE third would be Denver, as I grew up a huge Broncos/Elway fan, but I like to pair who I use on Madden with who I use on MLB and I have no desire to use the Colorado Rockies.

                          Definitely doing one with my hometown Patriots. I’m also eager to pick a team, trade for my guys Sam Ehlinger and Devin Duvernay and see if I can build an offense around them. Maybe to Houston if I tease away Watson?

                            Steelers and maybe a Jags rebuild.
                            Just curious, does anyone know if the HOF game (PIT vs DAL) is an extra preseason game in franchise?

                              I'd be shocked if it was, I don't remember it being in before. Probably because the preseason is technically 5 weeks if you count that one game and it's probably just a weird thing for the game devs.

                              Although the actual preseason is 3 weeks now, so who knows?

                                I think the Steelers are an underrated pick this year if you’re looking to avoid the usual total rebuild type team like the Lions. Might sound strange coming off a 12-4 1st place season, but looking at their roster in game.....are they really still a 12 win team?

                                On offense, you have a declining Big Ben in likely his final season at age 39. A pretty average group of RB’s led by rookie Najee Harris. A quality group of young WR’s, though no true clear cut #1 WR among them yet. Juju on an expiring contract. A solid but far from elite TE in Eric Ebron. There’s no Bell or AB level talent to turn to any more in that offense. The offensive line is a disaster. Only one O Lineman above 75 OVR. Yikes. Top pass rushers like Myles Garrett will feast. Where is the running room and pass protection coming from?


                                You start with a pretty sweet defense, but you won’t have too much time before you have to worry about maintaining it. RE Cameron Hayward is 32. DT Tyson Alualu is 34. ROLB Melvin Ingram is 34. #1 CB Joe Haden is 32. Though there’s fun core pieces like Minkah and Watt long term.

                                You’ll have to compete with the Browns and Ravens, and a few years in, you may be the only team in your own division without a developed franchise QB. You won’t be bad enough Year 1 to simply replace Ben with a top 5 draft pick QB. There a fun team to attempt one last run in year 1, but then you’re looking at needing a new QB, a new offensive line, and accounting for some aging starters on defense.
