I have found Mike2Ownz's slider set to be the best for me.

Try them both. I liked Playmakers too but found Mikes to really give me a more realistic game, and the fact that I really had to earn my rushing yards by sticking with it. I found the running game a tad easier with Playmakers and the passing game much tougher with Playmakers. The reverse is true of Mike's. I am a much better RB in Madden than QB so I needed a slider set that made it harder for me to run and easier to pass.

His work that way for my playing style.

You will also end up tweaking some things to your liking. The key is both are a very good base to use and build off of.

I am also addicted to franchise mode and it took some effort this go around. I am controlling all 32 teams.

It has been a revelation to say the least. Lot's of fun for sure.

I prefer mikeownz sliders for the same reason Armor and Sword said. I tweaked them, I am not good enough to make all the adjustments he did but I used them as a guide.

This is nerdy, but I used to play RPG's on paper (D&D, Marvel Super Heroes, Gamma World, etc.) and I still have my old dice. To add some depth and drama to Madden I use the old RPG dice to roll in season for players that get suspended, demand trades, etc. It's pretty fun. I roll a d4 to pick a team per division per week and then I roll a d10 for a position (I re-roll for K/P ). Then I roll a die depending on the number of players at the position. Once the player is selected I roll to see if they:

• demand a trade
• are suspended for banned substance (roll d6 for weeks)
• suspended for Pacman/Plaxico/Roethlisberger style behavior (roll again for # of weeks)

It can yield hilarious results. You obviously have to do a 32 team franchise but it is a blast. It adds storylines to a season and since it's random it prevents me from cheating and keeps the season fresh and unpredictable.

Finally, a thread that talks about people loving franchise mode rather than complaining.

I love it. I find it can keep me entertained for a fair amount of time. I would like it to have a bit more depth, but I still love it.

This thread gives me hope. I'm playing NCAA 11 now, but plan on jumping into Madden next year b/c the constant rostering I do wears me out, and I don't have the time anymore........plus, I want playoffs, bowls are stupid and I don't care what anyone says in that regard.

It started back up in Madden 10 where I found myself playing 2 games in a sitting. I love my wife to the end, but I'm absolutely elated when she goes shopping or has her friends over so I can have my NCAA/ Madden marathons lol.

Ditto!

Its the only mode I play. But with 2K, The Show, and NCAA Football's Franchise modes being so much better......I wouldn't call it addicting.

It needs an upgrade.
