Control all 32 or Just 1 - Hardcore Franchise Players Please

I'll try this in a minute. I'm sure they had people on the block for me.

I'm not sure I like the idea very much. I'm simming a season to the end in a 1 controlled franchise to see some decision making at the end of the seasonby the AI, if I don't see anything to wild, I'll go that route. I must say, I was skeptical of the 32 team theory.

I agree, dude. It just seems like it's so much work; and frankly, too little reward, man.

Do I sense a tone of sarcasm, bro? I'm just trying to find the right way to play for me, bud. Do you play with all 32 teams, dude?

No, I've tried it but it didn't really work for me, man. Too much work for me.

Sorry, you never know around here who's serious and who's not. I haven't found all 32 to be a very fun way to play. So far in the offseason, I haven't come across anything bad as far as AI decision making. I saved it to do it a couple times and see, but so far, no stupid moves by the AI.

Had you come across anthing?

Well, I went through a whole season, preseason, regular, playoffs, offseason...and I found nothing really to make me scratch my head and think what did they do that for? I used a madden generated draft, as that is what I will do. After the offseason, I noticed about a dozen draft picks released, however....there's more than that in the NFL. The highest draft pick released was a 2nd round pick, but he was a kicker. Most were all 6th rounders, and a couple 4th or 5th rounders. I see nothing wrong with that, as no player is guaranteed a roster spot. After looking at the teams, one team was in cap trouble, and released a 6th round DT, but they had 4 DT's that were pretty solid.
Overall, I see nothing wrong with a 1 controlled team franchise. The AI made pretty good decisions. And even the depth charts looked good, as I went through every team and I saw nothing, I mean nothing ridiculous.

They do stupid things at times. Like already having a 90 QB and paying his back up which is an 88 almost the same money. Those things irk me. I would rather him start for another team who needs a QB. Even things out.

Think about the Chargers. They have a good QB, and are paying his back-up around 4-5 million dollars.
