Best Relocation Ideas

[Neoprankster]

For my CFM on M25, I want to do these moves....

St. Louis Rams --> Los Angeles Rams
San Diego Chargers --> London Monarchs
Jacksonville Jaguars --> Mexico City Jaguars
Buffalo Bills --> Toronto Mounties
Tennessee Titans --> Houston Oilers

With those relocations, I also want to give the Vikings a new stadium in Minnesota.

Are these good ideas for moves? Have you guys made similar moves? Have you guys moved different teams?

Re: Best Relocation Ideas

I like the Brooklyn Black Knights as a team name. Just sounds kinda cool.

I also like moving the Jets to Brooklyn, getting them their own stadium in the process without moving to a different city. Heck, you could move the Jets to London to get the Black Knights name, then move them back to Brooklyn if you wanted.

I'm partial to moving the Washington Redskins to Mexico City, renaming them either the Diablos or Golden Eagles as part of a "rebranding" effort in the wake of the backlash surrounding the "Redskins" name. Though ironically, the Diablos mascot has red skin...

I really do wish you could change Washington's name without moving them.

I also wish the Avengers were a name choice for LA, because I was a fan of the Arena Football team of the same name.

I did like the inclusion of the London Monarchs having grown up watching the World League and NFL Europe, but I wish you could also bring back teams like the Galaxy, Dragons and Admirals.

Clearly the Saints should follow the Jazz to Salt Lake City.

Re: Best Relocation Ideas

When I move teams, I usually move a bunch of them. I'm from Portland, so I try to move one team there. Heres a list of what I usually do.

Bears- Columbus Bears/Capitals/Aviators

Bengals- Chicago Bengals/Cougars (Sometimes move them to Dublin and leave them as Bengals)

Bills- OKC Bills/Bison (Other choice is Toronto)

Browns- Mexico City Browns/Diablos

Chargers - London Black Knights/British Bulldogs

Cowboys- Memphis Cowboys/Egyptians (Mexico City is another choice)

Jets- Brooklyn Jets/Yanks

Jaguars- Dublin Jags/Celtic Tigers

Panthers - Portland Panthers (Where I'm from and my fav team)

Raiders - LA Raiders

Seahawks - Toronto Huskies (Best logo choice IMO)

Steelers - SLC Steelers

Texans - Austin/San Antonio Texans

Titans - Houston Oilers

The MOUNTIES is an extremely stupid name. Not All of our Police are Mounties they are our national Police. Mounties is a short form for Royal Canadian Mounted Police. and the Logo looks terrible.

Re: Best Relocation Ideas

Moving the Bills up north to Toronto has always been a priority in my CFM I have done also moving the raiders back to LA other than that not much else maybe the titans returning as the oilers.

I really hope in M15 they give us more options for relocation I don't think Dublin and even London are feasible or realistic options for relocation.

Re: Best Relocation Ideas

London is already working on a team.

Re: Best Relocation Ideas

How about if I wanted to do a 32 team connected franchise. Would this be a good alignment?

AFC East
Bills, Dolphins and Patriots stay.
Jets to Brooklyn

AFC North
Browns, Ravens and Steelers stay.
Bengals to London (or Dublin?)

AFC South
Colts stay.
Jags to Mexico City.
Texans to San Antonio (or Austin?)
Titans to Houston.

AFC West
Broncos and Chiefs stay.
Chargers to Los Angeles, OKC or PDX?
Raiders to San Antonio or Sacramento?

NFC East
Cowboys, Eagles and Giants stay.
Skins to Toronto, London, Mexico City, Oklahoma City or Houston?

NFC North
Everybody stays.

NFC South
Everybody stays.

NFC West
Cards, Niners and Seahawks stay.
Rams back to LA.

Re: Best Relocation Ideas

If you move the Raiders back to LA, are you able to keep the name and colors?

Yes you can keep the name and colors if you move any team to any of the available cities. I had a franchise where I moved the Rams back to Los Angeles and kept the colors.

However, teams like the Jaguars and Rams still have their old cities' names in the end zones when you move them in Madden 25. In Madden 15 on the Xbox One and Playstation 4, the Rams end zone just says Rams.

Re: Best Relocation Ideas

Awesome! I just upgraded to the XBOX ONE so I'm looking to start a rebuild with the Raiders and move them back to LA if the option becomes available. That's great to know that I can keep the colors and name. Last question: Does the Raider logo stay the same as well?

Yes, the Raiders logo will still be the same. On the endzones, the name is rendered in a geometric font instead of the Futura bold used on the top portion of the shield.

Re: Best Relocation Ideas

Thanks for your help! That's been the one reason why I was hesitant about starting a ccm with any other besides my favorite team, the Dolphins. Now that I know that I can keep everything the same as far as name, colors and logo, the Raiders are very enticing. I'm definitely excited to begin a ccm owner mode with them. I play coach mode so I try my best to allow the ratings to dictate on field play while I assemble the team. Still looking for sliders though...

Re: Best Relocation Ideas

I have relocated a couple times and always run into the same problem of not having money to spend on free agents in the future. Every week I'm hit with like $2 million in stadium renting fees and never can accumulate enough funds to offer signing bonuses. Am I doing something wrong or is this just the way it is?
