Hardest team to rebuild??

Re: Hardest team to rebuild??

I like to have a solid, mobile QB so I sent MJD to the Niners and brought in Kaepernick. Still in his rookie contract so he has much less blow to the cap. I've got Blount and Bell at RB with Knile Davis backing them up. Davis brings some speed that Blount and Bell both lack slightly. Other than that, I went with a speedy group of D'backs that can recognize plays quickly. Speed at LE and RE and pure strength at DT. Balanced LBs that can pursue a RB around the corner and shut down a TE across the middle. I think I'll have a successful season if I don't have a bunch of injuries cause most of my back ups aren't that great

Not too sound to negative, but this doesn't exactly sound like a "rebuilding" effort to me, it looks like you already did all the rebuilding by creating a team full of young, good players, all you need is to play for a year or two and you'll dominate the league at will with a ton of cheap young superstars, that's not what rebuilding is a bout.

Re: Hardest team to rebuild??

You're right. I did start the rebuilding process prior to starting the career but I will still have a few challenging years and once it comes time to resign most of these guys I'll have to part ways with some because I won't have enough cap for them. I've always been biases towards young guys cause they have something to prove so that's why I went with them.

If you don't win the Super Bowl with that team, you need to reevaluate yourself. Kaep for MJD? That's not rebuilding, that's swindling the CPU.

My first thought when I read that. Trading MJD for Kapernick makes no sense from the Niners perspective. They already have three good running backs, and why bring in a guy who would do Frank Gore's job, and they would lose their QB of the future. It's really cheating the CPU.

I think EA needs to rethink their trading logic, these types of trades shouldn't happen. It was the same thing with trades in Madden 13, I was just messing around and traded Michael Turner and a third for Lynch and a 1st round draft pick.

No objection. Just sharing what I did and how I chose to play this career

I made the changes prior to starting the career. No way it would've happened in career mode

How about the steelers? Old all around with little in the way of offensive weapons.

They're in the middle of a real life rebuild.

As far as Madden goes, year 1 is np since they have many highly rated defensive guys, the O line doesnt get injured every play on madden, and their running backs can actually gain yards...

The rebuild on Madden isn't as challenging, but could still be fun if you plan to do multiple seasons.

I would say Bills are a good choice or even the Jags. The Browns have lots of holes sure but they that's pretty much only on offence, they can become a contender in Madden in one offseason plenty of cap-space will let you sign good FA. I think you can at least get a capable WR and a G in FA so the only things you will then need is a QB and a HB (If you are running the update.) You can't really get any more low than the Jags, the defence is awful and needs help at every level as there aren't really any studs and the offence isn't that bad, you work your way around using a terrible offence in Madden. In the game you don't really have a good O-Line, the QBs won't get the job done, the WR are decent. Blackmon and Cecil Shorts are kinda reliable. And of course they have MJD who is pretty much the best piece on offence. Even though they are a terrible team, you can still rebuild them in about two - three years. If you trade down from a number one or two spot you can get about 3 first rounds for it and that will help immensely.

Rather bad article, like most of this kind seem to be. Constantly mixing up real life NFL and Madden, just because a team is bad of in the NFL doesn't mean it's just as bad in Madden. How are the Jets the hardest team to rebuild in Madden? They got a mobile rookie QB, said QB has two good to very good targets to throw to in Holmes and Hill, the OL woes aren't half as important as IRL, and on defense they have 3 good starters up front, Davis is a great LB in Madden due to his high speed, Cromartie and Milliner are a great CB tandem so the only positions they really need help at is RB (easy enough to pick up free agents in Madden that do the job well enough), safety and a bit help on the pass rush (which again isn't as crucial in Madden as IRL), maybe a TE wouldn't hurt. But in general, the Jets are a very servicable team in Madden.

The Jags are by far the toughest team to rebuild, just look at their defense, there is basically no position at D where they couldn't use an upgrade.

Re: Hardest team to rebuild??

Jaguars are only the hardest team to rebuild if you are Jags fan,Then you spend time build up young players that most people won't.The jags have ton cap space and one( or two) bad contracts team Jeremy Mincey( probably Gabbert as well).In the first season either don't resign or cut of most players.Unless you put some house rules Jags are probably one of the easier teams to rebuild.You keep Cyprien,Jockel,Shorts,Blackmon and Gratz maybe Hayes,Marks,Branch for a year after.

The hardest to rebuild is a older team with establish talent big contracts and irony is both of teams to come to mind are win less like the jags.Ny Giants and Steelers are harder rebuilds imo.Yes you will have more success in the first year but right after that i guarantee that Jags are better options.After the first year with Jags i normally end up with Aquil Talib,Brandon Browner,Wesley Woodard ,Desmond Bishop,Micheal Bennett,Henry Melton,Jeremy Macklin,Ben Tate,and more .You get point plus combine that with good draft class (and a pretty simple plan for first year draft QB,RE and LB/LG) and you are already in better shape than those teams and still have a good amount of cap room.

Re: Hardest team to rebuild??

Panthers have virtually zero cap space... I think they are among the hardest to fix.

The Jags would be up there too though.
