    The last go around with this years game!

    So it's about time to get into my final push with Madden 12. I've done a nice Seahawks franchise. I've done a Browns franchise where I played with them 2 seasons then switched teams every 2 seasons for a couple years. Now I'm looking at one last franchise push before putting the game away for good with NCAA 13 and Madden 13 on the horizon.

    Anyone have and gimmicks for a fun/different style of franchise that I can use for a month or two? I know a lot of people have a ton of cool ways they run with Franchise mode so I thought I'd pick your brains. Thanks

    Someone had a good idea of playing as all 32 teams but only play one game of the week. That way you play as other teams and still get through a season

      Why do you put the older games away for good? I don't.

        When I was younger I used to do this. I'd schedule the whole thing out on paper. Those were the days.

          for my last push I created historic players into my Franchise and even added a few of my favorite college players that didn't pan out and gave them another chance. It was a last ditch effort to keep this game in my machine and so far it has add to my fun factor, to see Rice, Montana, LT, Bo Jackson, Barry Sanders, Walter Payton on these graphics was a nice challenge plus I decided to give Peter warrick, Dominic Davis, Chris Perry, Rocket Ismail a second chance. It only really took me a week as I just poped in a few older madden for ratings. So far I'm still playing.

            Because once the new game comes out I won't ever do a big franchise with the old ones

              you can do a fantasy draft taking only players from a certain college conference or colleges in a certain state or area.. only a few states you can really build a whole team from though so a certain area is probably better.

              i did one draftin only players from north or south carolina colleges.. nc, nc state, sc, coastal carolina, citadel, east carolina and some other small ones.

              it makes the rookie drafts kind of fun cus theres only a handful of players you can choose from

                I very much agree with your point of view

                          I like to pick a certain play style and then take a team and try to mould them towards that through the draft.

                          For example, I've just started a Seahawks 'chise where I wanted to go Spread style Carolina Panthers offense, and 3-4 Defense, just because you've got Red Bryant at DE. Draft the larger DEs and the pass rushing OLBs, Draft a scrambling QB etc.

                            Another one is to create a new team with a "cupcake" roster and just try to build through the draft
