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

    Gonna roll with a fantasy draft franchise with a random team until the scouting update. After that going to roll with Eagles and see how long it takes to bring them back to contenders. Excited cuz we got a lot of young pieces to build around

      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.
      Yeah, this is an excellent choice for sure. I've done the "barebones roster" rebuild but teams like this actually provide an much more interesting experience because you oversee both the teardown and rebuild.

      You use this team and you know you HAVE to rebuild; the question quickly becomes HOW you go about doing it. There ARE some assets in-place that could either be used as a core OR used to facilitate a more rapid rebuild across the board (by trading them). You can let the team wither and die slowly, begin pruning, or just tear it all down quickly. I don't think this is a roster that can support a patchwork FA-based rebuild; it needs a nearly complete re-boot via the draft.

      The young pieces they have (specifically referring to Watt and Minkah) are also interesting because their value may depend greatly on how you plan on building the team back. Both are good, but if I had a chance to get some high-end draft picks back for them, I would be more tempted than I think many folks would be.

      The out-cropping of storylines from just this team alone would be insane; especially when you begin to factor-in the new scenarios and coach perks. You can slice and dice this 1000 different ways....
      Play the games you love, not the games you want to love.

        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.
        - I am really contemplating running a second team concurrently...but I get too immersed in my Dolphins.

          I have a few ideas I want to carry out.

          - Recreate the offensive style of the 1999-2001 Rams.
          - Build a team around a Michael Vick-style QB since I have never done that before.
          - I feel sorry Josh Rosen, so I might sign him to a rebuilding team and make him a star.

              Jaguars baby! There is a true franchise QB1 for the first time in the team's 26 year history. Things are looking up.

                I did this on MLB The Show 18 with Mark Appel. Traded for him to try to make him a thing.

                I DFA'ed him by Year 3. BUT I TRIED.

                It's a great and fun idea.

                  Planning something different this year, probably very different from most. It's similar to what I'm doing in The Show and really enjoying.

                  Take control of any team doesn't matter who,everything set to auto.
                  Sim slowly week at a time and follow the progress of the league until 5 games left. Then look over the standings and take over a team in the playoff hunt.

                  After the last game I can do all the offseason tasks for that team if I feel like it and when the new season starts, repeat the process of simming weekly until 5 games left and taking over a new team in the other conference.

                  This is about playing games that are exciting to play because of being in the playoff hunt and playing with different teams I never would have used in the past.

                  Later on once the scouting update is out I plan to do a second franchise running a single team for as many seasons as I can though probably max 3 seasons for me time wise once the other fall and winter sports games come out.

                    Steelers for now until the new scouting comes out. Then thinking Detroit if I am still interested in the game by then.

                      I usually run 3 or so. Eagles, Browns and who ever drafts my created QB.

                      For my created QB, what I do, is that I take one of the older bench QBs, and wait until I can edit a draft class. Look for a random QB, tweak his attributes to my liking and then simulate to the draft and do a career with him. It's how I always do it.
