What's first when you turn on the game?

Straight into the Ravens franchise mode. I like to jump in, instead of skills trainer, as it makes it harder in the beginning while figuring things out. Before a single game, I'll do my best to trade for as many former Notre Dame players as I can w/o reshaping the NFL landscape.

With only 10 hours ea access, I always do some skillz training. Specifically, this year, I want to go through the running drills to feel the new controls and get an idea of the timing for different moves. I think, then, just some play now. I may wait until reg season starts in real life to make sure rosters are good before I start dirty bird franchise. I like your idea of rocking the 02-05 birds, but for me, my fav Falcons team is 1991, actually. Young Primetime, Tuggle, Scott case, and Tim McKyer. Andre Rison, Michael Haynes. I absolutely loved that team. The old red gun offense with Chris Miller. Or, maybe I'll sub in Favre!! Lol. He was on that team. His ratings wouldn't technically be too good as he struggled a little back then. But, it's funny to look at that old roster and see that. Possibly worst trade in Falcons history (hindsight is 20/20) giving favre to packers the next season, I believe. But, that was the MC Hammer 'too legit to quit' Falcons, man. Lol. Loved that team.

I always start with a play now game, just to get a feel of new mechanics and try out new additions to the Cowboys. Then, I'll probably go over to the skills trainer or practice field and practice the new mechanics some more. Then, maybe some quick slider adjustments and then CFM time!

I fire up a few dummy CFMs and run some sim stat tests / check out injury rates for simmed games / CPU roster logic / etc...

Nice, what do you usually look for in regards to stats and injuries?

I will most likely start with skills trainer and then do a MUT untill Armour & Swords Madden 17 sliders come out then Ill dig into franchise
