Your trades in Madden 13

[MaddenSaints]

When you start a CC as a HC, who are you going to look to pick up weather if it is straight away or in a few seasons time. Despite it being hard I am looking to get someone like J. Charles or MJD. Maybe a new pass rusher for the Saints. Probably looking for a WR too.

Re: Your trades in Madden 13

I'm looking to get CJ Spiller or Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie for my Colts. Both for a realistic price. Possibly Taylor Mays.

Re: Your trades in Madden 13

I like to keep trades realistic, while also doing an "alternate reality" type thing where I trade mid-late round players from the most recent draft for players taken after them that my Skins could have realistically taken instead.

As someone who loves scouting and the NFL draft, I always have my favorites that I think fell too far, or that I think would have fit perfectly with the Redskins. So I make these type of small trades for the mid-late round rookie depth that I am excited to develop and find roles for. Usually, rounds 3-7 are fair game.

This year, I'll probably make these trades right at the beginning of my Skins Coach CCM, or as soon as I'm able to:

1. Skins 3rd round pick OG Josh LeRebius for Giants 3rd round pick Jayron Hosely.

Nothing against "The Rib", I just plan on rebuilding the Skins OL from year 2 on without him, and Hosely will bring a great ball-hawking young prospect to a secondary that sorely needs it. Smaller, play-making corners will be my MO in this CCM, taking advantage of a strong front-7.

2. Skins 4th round pick QB Kirk Cousins for either Panthers 4th rounder WR Joe Adams or Cheifs 4th rounder WR Wylie.

Don't really need to explain why I don't need another rookie QB in the boat in Madden when I've got RG3, and a future slot receiver/deep threat that can play Banks out of a job at KR/PR is more of a need. Love both of these young guys, and they are explosive playmakers. But the trade with the Cheifs might make more sense, since I could actually see the Cheifs wanting a young QB to groom like Cousins.

3. Skins 4th rounder OLB Keenan Robinson for SD 4th rounder TE Ledarius Green.

I'm a sucker for the raw, athletic freak types at TE. He'll develop behind Davis with Niles Paul. Cooley will probably make it one more season with me, and then he's gone. I'll probabaly franchise tag and then trade Davis next offseason if Green or Paul show anything at TE. I like Green to become one of RG3's favorite targets, especially down the seam and in the Redzone.

4. Skins 5th rounder OG Adam Gettis for Bengals 5th rounder George Iloka.

Again, I'm letting the OL bomb in year one, running for my life with RG3 and letting young cheap guys and cheap vets battle it out. There's just too much value on the board at other positions to stick with what I think are average prospects on the OL. My first draft in this CCM will be predominantly OL. Until then, Iloka is another man crush of mine who I think will be a beast in Madden, and I've got to have him in my secondary, developing behind Meriweather and Tanard Jackson. He's so versatile, who knows, he might see time as a depth CB.

5. Skins 6th rounder RB Alfred Morris can stay.

I like what I've seen and although his Madden ratings will likely be trash, I may be able to convert him into a nice FB with the log-jam at RB, if Darryl Young gets any big ideas when it's time to negotiate his next contract.

6. Skins 6th rounder Tom Compton for Lions 7th rounder LB Travis Lewis.

I think he was a STEAL, a 3-4th round talent at least who fell due to injury who will take over for Fletcher in a year or two, playing next to Perry Riley.

7. Skins 7th rounder DB Richard Crawford for NE 7th rounder Alfonzo Dennard.

I love the talented knuckleheads who fall too far, just like the Patriots do. Which you'll see again with my last trade.

8. Skins 7th rounder CB Jordan Bernstine for Eagles 7th rounder Bryce Brown.

I wouldn't touch him in real life, but in Madden, I love the talented, yet raw knuckleheads/headcases...because they can't mess up off the field or quit on the field in Madden. I'll take the risk here, and hope that I can turn him into an inspiring story of redemption. If he plays well, or at least starts with ratings befitting his million-dollar body/ten-cent head, I might just trade Helu and/or Royster and let him be the bell-cow.

Well, that's it for now. Looks like a lot of stuff, maybe a little overboard, but its MY alternate reality NFL CCM, and in my alternate reality, these are the picks the Skins would have made for Madden purposes. Obviously young OL prospects are more important in real life, than in Madden. I hope that changes some day, but for now, I'll take the high ceilings of the guys I chose over the OL and other picks we got in real life. In the end it's really only a few depth rookies being shuffled around the rest of the league, but I get my young role-players to develop that I will feel attached to, and that's a big draw of franchise mode for me.

Sorry for the novel!

I liked reading that. I like when people are a GM and have an idea of what they're doing, while adding possible key pieces in the future.

Re: Your trades in Madden 13

im running with the patriots i love brady but hes getting old and i figure i might as well trade him for a good running back id love to get trent richardson then i would hopefully trade ryan mallett and as many high draft picks as i can to get rg3 ik the mallet trade is a little far stretched but if you cant dream then what can u do right

Re: Your trades in Madden 13

I find the thread interesting and a cool read.

Thanks man. Not to take a shot at the guy who just posted about wanting to trade Brady for Richardson, etc. but I hate trades like that. Even realistic player-for-player trades are SO rare in the NFL...hell, all trades involving players are pretty rare in the NFL. The most trades by FAR around the league entail trading around in the draft on draft weekend.

So for me, the best way to shake up the roster a bit and get "my guys" is to pay attention to scouting and the draft, and then move around draft picks like I did above in a realistic way that could have actually happened, to get young depth players I'll be invested in progressing and getting involved in the game plan.

I don't become enamored with players around the league that I'd have to make an unrealistic or unlikely trade to get onto my Redskins...I become enamored with rookies coming into the league that my team had a fair shot at drafting anyways, and they all have ratings in the 50's-70's to start off as well, which keeps its fair even when I have a lot of guys I like on the roster.

Re: Your trades in Madden 13

First of all, if you're talking about a thread just like this, I think you're wrong. The thread I believe you're referring to was a "rate my trade" thread for Madden 12, about trades that had already happened or people were thinking about making in their franchises for that game. This thread is about trades we'll make when starting out CCM as a coach in Madden 13. That's very different. I doubt you'll even get someone whose looking forward to playing CCM and making moves in Madden 13 to look in that other thread, because it's full of Madden 12 franchise trades that they aren't interested in.

If I'm wrong, and there IS a Madden 13 planned CCM trades thread, then I apologize. But I searched the front 2 pages of threads here and didn't see it after I saw the first person comment that this was a duplicate.

In short, I think this thread serves its purpose, which is different from the other threads purpose, and is fine.

Re: Your trades in Madden 13

As the Bears, I'll probably trade Jason Campbell at some point if a starting quarterback gets hurt or in the offseason before the draft. I'll try to get a 3rd rounder out of him, but if I can't get anything higher than a 5th I'll just keep him. He's a great player and I think he deserves another shot.

[Chrisksaint]

Re: Your trades in Madden 13

I don't have any specific trades, but I will look to trade away Will Smith and Roman Harper(barring ratings, but if they are similar to last year then he's gone) for $$ reasons if I can.

The Redskins traded him for a 4th round pick TWO years down the road. Thats right, in 2010 they traded him for a 2012 4th. He'd be worth maybe a 6th now, and that would be pushing it. If anything, I'd move him for a 6th or 7th to a team in need of a veteran backup to be fair.

Or even better, pick that team and then try to trade him straight up for a player taken in the 6th or 7th this past draft. That way, it's like the Bears traded him during the draft for the pick thqt got a guy you like.

[dboyfresh89deuce]

As I will be running with my Raiders and choosing the scout type as a persona, I want to build through my draft picks. So I want to start thru free agency my first year picking up players who can contribute. With Seymour getting older I will probably trade him for mid round picks. Its still a thought in process but with kelly, shaugnessy, and houston I have a good 3. I want to add depth on the outside rush and really build a stingy 3-4 defense. As for my db's I have a good squad with speed, so I will devolop DVD and checkwa. Huff will most likely see the trade block to gain some picks or an OLB with great pass rush and speed. I can find a FS in the draft that will ball hawk or speed. I'm about defense this year and the tenacity of the Raiders of the Madden Era needs to return so I want to build physicality and speed. The offensive side will be fine, going to build a nice receiving core and possibly trade Palmer in the offseason for picks or a younger QB.

Man CCM is going to be great this year and the feeling of really feeling like your building a team through the draft and free agency. No more just plugging in players where its needed, now its time to find players who fit your scheme.
