As a Giants fan, I don't really like their defensive lineup. Also Eli is getting up there in years, and since the Giants are good, you don't get high draft picks.

Right now I like the strategy of taking an average team and making them better (Lions)

Eventually after I get bored with that, I'll go back to the Giants and make a few SB runs then figure out how to replace Eli.

I think you're just lucky because your team happens to be really good and pretty young. I like building a franchise up.

Falcons, Bucs, Chargers. A few others but these are my favorite to use in CCM for many reasons but one thing they all have in common is GREAT uniforms.

Very important.

Am I the only one that closes my eyes holding down the button as the teams scream by and whichever team it lands on is the one I got hired by? lol, in HC06 you started the game by having 3-5 contract offers which you got to choose where you started your career.

I've been using the 49ers since NFL 2K5 when I did my first real franchise mode, and in every single football game I've bought since then. Before I started doing franchise modes, I was running the 49ers exclusively going all the way back to Tecmo Bowl. From Jeff Garcia, to Tim Rattay, to JT O'Sullivan, to bad Alex Smith to good Alex Smith, the 49ers are who I have always exclusively used in season / franchise modes.

Same with basketball, I will always use the Orlando Magic, before, during, and now after Dwight Howard.

The only time I didn't use the 49ers / Magic was in the ESPN NFL 2K4 / ESPN NBA 2K4 years when I did created fantasy draft teams.

If other people have other reasons for using whatever team, that's cool, but for me, my only desire is to play with my favorite team. There is no reason for me to use anyone else.

I like to build up weaker teams in the nfl. I am a long time niner fan. and would use them exclusively, because they were a weak team and they were my team, so it worked out. Now that they are the top team in the nfl(yea i said it) i find using them is not as fun. ive decided to use the browns, maybe the jags. only reason i wouldnt use the jags is because maurice jones drew he is way to good lol. but whatever team i pick i will be trading for Colin Kaepernick. since smith is doing better i dont feel he will get the opportunity he deserves in san fran

I do two franchises every year. One with my Bucs and the other with a bad team to build up. This year, I think I'll pick the Rams since the next two years they'll have 2 first round picks.

As a life long Raiders fan, that's the only team I ever use. From Madden 1992 to the present.

How is that going with the Raiders? I assume not as hard as one would think.
