So when I make franchises, I like to spice it up a little in a few different ways. I do enjoy taking a subpar team and making them good, but I've had so much fun doing fantasy drafts and having different concepts for each.
I've tried two different concepts when approaching offline CF.
One thing I like to do is draft a bunch of young good players so I can develop them into studs. It takes you a little while to become true contenders, (didn't win a playoff game until my 4th year in, where I won the Super Bowl too.) The only downside is when the FA train comes rolling in after 3-5 years the players end up being so good that you can barely afford half, which presents a challenge.
Another theme I like to use is the veteran team. Draft a bunch of veterans all 30+, be great at first but everyone obviously retires and deteriorates talent-wise, so the challenge here is excellent drafting.
Then there's the all-defense or all-offense teams too which are fun to balance out over time.
Do you guys do things like this to make the franchise more fun?
