First thing you're going to do in Franchise Mode.

[TeamBuilder]

What team will you be? And what will be the first thing you do in Franchise Mode.

I'm the Dolphins and the first thing I'm going to do is trade for a Fullback that can run and catch the ball out of the backfield. I'm thinking maybe Jacob Hester from the Chargers.

Bengals

Get rid of all the bad apples and distracting players. One of them rhymes with Locho Binco.

Re: First thing you're going to do in Franchise Mode.

Although I am a redskin at heart, and have always played with them in franchise, I think I might play as the lions this year.

I would do this for a few reasons:
1) I've always had a soft spot for the lions. How could you not love perennial losers?
2) It would be a good challenge and would give me more satisfaction when I win a game.
3) I like to build through the draft in madden and the lions have plenty of wholes to fill

Yea and even if you don't do well in your first year, you will probably have lot's of fun throwing to Johnson and Pettigrew with Stafford.

Re: First thing you're going to do in Franchise Mode.

I am going to start a franchise with the Bears. I haven't done a Madden Franchise in several years, but this looks like the year to do it. I have purchased NCAA Football the last 5+ years or so, but I don't think I am going to this year because Madden looks so good.

Haha, well you have some nice young pieces to build around, especially the combination of McFadden/Bush at running back. Heyward-Bey can at least run really fast...

Re: First thing you're going to do in Franchise Mode.

I will start with the cowboys since they are my favorite team, but then again building a winner in Detroit sounds like fun.

Re: First thing you're going to do in Franchise Mode.

I would usually start looking for a QB for the Bears, but....I guess WR is something I could look into now.

Oh and before I used to control all the teams because they kept making questionable personnel changes, but that logic seems to have been fixed for this Madden. So no need.

Re: First thing you're going to do in Franchise Mode.

I think it would also be interesting to start a franchise with the Cardinals. I would trade Kurt Warner for draft picks and give Leinart a shot. My starting lineup would be young with potential...

QB- Leinart
RB- Wells/Hightower
WR- Fitzgerald/Boldin/Breaston
TE- Pope

Re: First thing you're going to do in Franchise Mode.

The first thing I'll do is scope out Knowshon Moreno and Rex Grossman in a preseason game. After that, I'll see if I need to pick up a new QB or not. I'm not a fan of altering my year 1 roster too far beyond the real thing.
