Browns CCM!

[Kfox93]

Hey everyone, I'm about to start my Browns CCM. I'm playing on All-American custom sliders. I need some peoples opinion on rebuilding them.

1. Weeden is not my guy. Replacment? Draft? or Trade?
2. Do I want two 1st round picks? Because I have been offered a 1st rounder for Rubin. Can Phil Taylor hold down the fort without him?
3. T.J. Ward, at times he is awesome. Other times he is awful. What to do with him.

Keepers:
Joe Haden, Sheard, Richrdson, Josh Gordon.

Not so sure on:
MLB Jackson, Rubin, Ward, Little, Sheldon Brown.

Definitly gone or replaced:
Weeden, Watson, Cribbs.

Re: Browns CCM!

I would draft a new QB. I agree. Weeden is 27 & you won't get any trade value for him
I wouldn't touch the D-Line besides Rucker, Rubin, Taylor, Sheard are dominant forces (well, they were for me)
TJ Ward is a hard hitter, but he is kind of slow & will let up a few big plays. Depends on your style. I kept him because I liked big hitters to cough up the ball.

Actually, Weeden is 29. Ward is slow? What's his speed?

Re: Browns CCM!

You need to keep Jackson. Kid's a stud.

Ward has 86 speed i would keep rubin,jackson,ward... i would def get rid of sheldon brown not sure about anybody else but this guy for me gets burnt 99% of times on passes against me so much i did like the real browns and replaced him with johnson bademosi my pass defense got 100% better with haden and bademosi starting.

alot of ppl who started ccm's got rid of weeden not sure if it was because of his age or they thought he wasent no good he did alright for me i threw for 50+ td's with him.

^^yep. Weeden is a 2 time MVP in my online ccm. More than capable.

Def keep ward, Jackson & rubin IMO as well. Very good players. I traded cribs for chris culliver straight up to replace brown. Moved Watson as well.

[Ian Iachimoe]

^^ def dump little as well. He is terrible & surprisingly had good trade value.

I'm in 2016 with a CLE CCM...

1) Weeden is MY guy...proto pocket passer with a big arm, develops at a moderate pace...if you don't want a pocket passer, then it's your call...put him on the block and see if he gets any offers...

2) Rubin is a beast and makes EVERYONE around him better...esp. Taylor and Sheard...all 3 of those guys are in the low 90s OVR and are the core of a VERY solid D...I like to run a 43, because the AI is pretty shoddy at running a 34, so 2 big DTs are key...

3)TJ Ward's only "hole" in his game is man coverage...use his XP and hang on to him...once again, he hit low 90s for me pretty quick...

4) Jackson is a top MLB...I use him like an Urlacher in a Tampa 2 scheme and he played well until I had to let him go at the end of this deal (pre 2017) because I drafted and developed his replacement...

5) Little drops EVERYTHING in the game, just as IRL...I got a 2nd rounder for him from SEA, who cuts and resigns him...often...???

6) Brown is too slow and having a run support corner in this game is kind of useless in coverage...the drafts have PLENTY of solid corners available every year...Chris Houston came up in FA after 2012, and he's one of the 2-3 "expensive" guys I've signed over the years...I usually build through the draft and one year FA deals...

7) Watson is really solid, but retired early (32) for me...Cameron, however is like a Jimmy Graham...he always plays much better than his attributes would suggest...

My "key" was rebuilding the OL around Thomas and Mack...I have drafted and developed them into a 90 plus unit and it makes T Rich shine as well as Weeden...

On D, the "key" was developing that front 4 and some LBs...

VERY fun franchise to work with, IMHO...

Half the roster is in their rookie or first year...

At this point, my OVRs on both sides of the ball are 85 and it's pretty much a "home grown" roster...

Randall Cobb and Houston are the only FAs over 75 OVR that I signed in 6 years...

Lastly, been to the SB once and lost...made playoffs most years...

Anyway:

Have fun!

Re: Browns CCM!

Browns have a very good young roster...

Weeden isn't as bad as he played last Season... He threw for 3,300 yards in Pat Shurmer's horrific Offense... With a more vertical Offense he'll be fine for you.

Josh Gordon is a stud... Team could use another veteran WR

Cameron is solid at TE... Pretty quick and has decent hands

Defense is where most of the wholes are... Need some LB's bad... Need another CB and depending on your defense (4-3 or 3-4) your going to need either a Edge rusher to team up with Sheard or a run stuffing 3-4 DE... You can play Rubin and Taylor at the same time in a 3-4, just move one of them to DE.

Re: Browns CCM!

I'm considering taking over a Browns team in Season 3 of an Online CCM. Between the Browns and Packers, I'd like to have the Browns since I hate the Packers but I worry it's too late in the Madden season to rebuild.

Appears most of the original roster is intact. At 3-11 looks to be having a Top 5 pick.

Weeden scares me. CPU signed Kurt Warner but I'll cut him if he doesn't retire anyway. Just worried about Weeden or if I should grab another QB.

Greg Little is the highest rated WR, Gordon and Benjamin still there, plus 2 stud WR rookies except for >40 AWR.

DLine is the same, LB's the same + a solid rookie OLB, secondary also worries me. Haden still there, Sheldon Brown the #2 which I don't like, couple rookie with bad AWR also.

13 million in cap space this year, what also worries me is losing some of these guys to FA because of the way the CPU resigns and leaves everyone "Unavailable" when you join in the season late.

Browns.....or Packers?
