Re: Anyone enjoying their franchise

I'm enjoying my franchise. I'm using the Raiders and my passing game sucks because I have no o-line but Mcfadden is tearing it up.....He has 531 yards rushing in 5 games and I'm 3-2. He also has 23 catches in 5 games...He's also ran back a 100 kick return for a TD.....I play every game.

Also, I use someone's sliders from here(I forgot) instead of the my skill thing. I've gotten better results with the sliders....When I used my skill, it put my running up really high just because I did well in the virtual drills and my running game was horrible. I was only avg like 2 ypc regardless of the running back......I use the custom sliders against the CPU and my skill against another human...

Re: Anyone enjoying their franchise

I am enjoying the hell out of my franchise so far. I am 10-5 with my Bears, with my losses coming to the Colts, Panthers, Packers and twice to the Vikings.....

I am playing with Madden IQ and two levels are at All Pro, 1 level at all Madden and 1 level just 1 bar below All pro. Most games have been very good games, other than just getting smoked by the Panthers at Carolina.

I also can't beat the Vikes to save my life. Both game that I have lost have been great games, but I always find a way with Grossman to make that big mistake and the Vikes take advantage. The salary cap situation is not the greatest, so I have had to downgrade by trading Dez Clark, John Tait and Rickey Manning, but was able to come up with 14 mill in cap room. I also have two first round picks, and two thrid round picks.

Playing with IQ on I have seen only a couple of instances where Robo QB comes into play. I have held the Qb's down usually in the high 50's range to very low 60's range as far as % goes. My biggest gripe is that I cannot get them to run the ball consistently. I have only given up 1 100 yrd game on the ground, and that was to the Lions.

Other than that, I have enjoyed this Madden Franchise way more than I have ever anticipated.

Playing with the Titans( love the old Oiler unis) Young is a jittery mess and the white /johnson combo is blah, but overall its a lot of fun. I adjusted the music to play just the NFL soundtrack , and the replays are a blast. This will hold me over throughout the season, or at least until 2k9 basketball comes out. would have loved the crowd sounds and the home field advantage feature that NCAA has and online franchise....

Re: Anyone enjoying their franchise

I'm enjoying it, I'm 3-3 right now with the Giants. Every game has been a nail bitter as I have a bad habit of turning the ball over in the red zone.

Re: Anyone enjoying their franchise

Just finished my 1st off-season with the 49ers. Grabbed Rey Maualuga to help my 3-4 and Crabtree to help my WR corps. Funny thing happen when preseason starts, both J.Taylor and R.Seymour were released. Well my 3-4 looks a little better going into the season.
Also for high rookie draft, bears grabber T.Tebow and 97 ovr
