Ive been doing this fo as long as madden has allowed it. In my single player franchise I am always the SS for the 49ers. (for years)
But also going back since SNES days me , 2 uncles, bro-in law have been playing as ourselves on defense on the same team. Only Madden 06 next gen was the only year we couldnt do this. 07-08-09 we found a little trick to allow us 4 all to play on the same team so we continued it.
I cannot wait for madden 10 to get it started up again. Hopefully the Ai is great this year so we can have more fun. 09 was not fun shutting down the cpu's run game every single game and we grew bored of the game very fast. Hope this year keeps us going strong.
In our Online Franchise we will all have ourselves created on defense on whatever team we decide to choose. Should be fun checking up on them seeing what there doing.
