In the last week I've had to recreate my profile and start over...doing the Panthers Seahawks intro. Any one know why M15 does that?

I'm getting ready to start my offline CFM this week, it's hard to pick a team to build this year. For me it's the Browns or Falcons. I'm going with the Browns but I can't get into their uniforms. Last year was the Jags, so not using them again.

I like starting with the Raiders or Jaguars. It's fun trying to demo the team and rebuild it. Time consuming but fun!

I agree with the team rebuild method. I'm a Saints fan but I'd never choose them for a CFM. Vikings/Raiders/Jags are a good choice because they all have decent rookie QB's. Personally I cut all the trash, sign all the good FA's, trade everyone that I can for current picks, and grind my way through the first season. I try to avoid trading for players as there's no way to do it realistically without raping the CPU.

I still haven't started as I am waiting for the first patch. But I plan on using either the Falcons or Panthers and doing a rebuild with them. With the Falcons I would keep Matt Ryan for a few more seasons before looking for his replacement and completely rebuild that defense/offensive line. With the Panthers I would clear house with everyone except a few players on defense.

Pick my poor Oakland Raiders. They need all the help he can get.

The Raiders have a decent foundation to rebuild with over the years (both in the game and in real life). Carr gets better each and every week, he needs a consistent RB and some good young WR's. Mack is looking like a cornerstone on that defense for years to come. The problem for the Raiders is they need a season where a Davis doesn't interfere with the team building. It killed them in the end with Al and it's killing them now with Mark.

I start with the Raiders. I love the team and have for years, even though they REALLY suck right now. It's nice to take a low team and rebuild them. So far I'm 3 games into the season and have won all 3 by a margin of 1-3 points, still better than the real thing. Last years I did the same with the raiders and it took me about 6 seasons to get to the Super Bowl, where I lost. Won the next season. Lots of fun to build a team up. Being in NY, thinking of taking the Jets this year, plus seems fun to move them to Brooklyn!
Fun game this year!
