How is your franchise going? Madden 18

[Chrisksaint]

Beat the Panthers 41-39 in Week 3 to move to 2-1.

Big plays killed my defense. Funchess scored a 75 yard TD with 22 seconds left, but I stopped the 2pt conversion. Funchess went 6rec 251yds 3TDs.

Adrian Peterson was thrown into the limelight with Ingram dislocating his shoulder. 26touches 190yds 3TDs, but a late fumble gave Carolina hope. Defense made some big plays with 7 sacks and a pick from PJ Williams.

I'm about ready to retire from video games after the 41-7 beatdown I just got from Cleveland, I'm now 3-12 and in a three way tie for the first pick of the draft. Trubisky is six sacks away from tying David Carr's record for the most times sacked in a season. One positive note, I got Cam Meredith back this week and I was able to actually move the ball with a decent WR to throw to, I just can't punch it in when I get near the goaline

Got a question for you guys.

How much does off field things in real life influence your roster decisions in your franchise?

Dixon just received an additional 2 game suspension for violating the substance abuse policy, and as a result I would look to get rid of him in my franchise.

I ignore the suspensions, if I feel like the player will never play another down for the team in real life then I might let him go.


So I finished my first season and have gotten to the first off season and it's really demoralizing how poorly the cpu manages it's rosters. The Rams have signed Drew Brees, so I guess they're pulling the plug on Goff after a year and a half of starting. I have the #1 pick and there is a QB that I think would be worth trading up for, so I go to look and see if I have any trade offers, Washington offers me the #3 pick, their second round pick which is in the top three, and next year's first round pick, and I got an offer from Cleveland of the #4 pick, the #15 pick, and next year's first rounder. Kizer had an outstanding rookie year and Cousins has a big contract so neither team needs a QB, meanwhile the Jets, Bills, and Dolphins pick 2,5, and 6 and none made an offer. I created a save point and did the Washington trade just to see what they'd do and they took a CB. Who trades two firsts and a second to move up two spots in the draft for a cornerback?

Yeah in mine Drew Brees went to Buffalo and then Tyrod Taylor went to the Rams so guess LA is hell bent on replacing Goff in the first offseason. The other head scratcher was Dallas giving Teddy Bridgewater a 4 year $40 million dollar contract to back up Prescott, other then that the offseason was rather boring.

Hey... I'm an onliner making my move to try franchise mode. Is there any particular way you set up your franchise before starting? Or do you just pick a team and jump in? I want to make sure I do this right.

Thanks

I took the "Rise Above The Rebuild" once again and picked my Bengals. I am at 3-7. Dalton is gone and is already benched with 4 TD's and 14 INT's and AJ is starting. The whole online is a total mess and will be rebuild though FA's and the Draft. The defense needs FS/SS helps and looking to go with the young LB's and D-Line also. I am in for a long ride.
