Cool write up, good read. Thanks.

I'm not a Lions fan but started playing them because they're a young team with of course one of the best young WR's and QB's that's going to be fun to build around. I just started my 2nd go around with them in CCM with the new rosters and patch. But my 1st was some of the most fun I've had in a video game in a long time. Went 8-7 my first year, just missed out on the playoffs by 1 game.

2nd year signed Danarilo Alexander as a 2nd top WR, and dominated the NFC, getting 2nd only missing out with the Saints for top NFC spot in a tie breaker. Won some blowouts to make it to the Super Bowl where I barely beat the Colts 17-10 I believe. 2 of my TE's were injured so I picked up a free agent TE the last few weeks of the season and he was Super Bowl MVP with over 150 yards and 2 TD's. Johnson got top receiver and Stafford went to the Pro Bowl.

3rd year go a few nice draft picks and had to sign a replacement RE for the retired Vanden Bosch who went out on top with a ring for his last year. Today I decided to hang up the towel on that CCM and just started a new one, week 1 here I come! Right now I'm practicing and simming pre-season to get XP points and planning what I'm going to do to replace the aging offense and defensive lines. It was kind of a mess my last franchise mode having to shell out big money for a RE.

Jahvid Best is on the PUP list, so are you sure the Lions don't expect him to play this year? I started him season 2 and he was a solid small quick back, a great combo with Smith
