CFM Plans - Madden 15

[ThePhillyPhanatic]

Madden 15 is coming out very soon!
I am sure you guys can't wait to play this game.
What plans do you guys have for Connected Franchise Mode? What teams, strategies, ideas are you looking to try? INCLUDE YOUR PLANS BELOW:

EDIT: Let's turn this into a Madden 16 Thread now.
(If a mod can take out "Madden 15" from the title, that would be great)

Re: CFM Plans - Madden 15

Dive in right away with the Dolphins and get everything set up the way I want. (based on the preseason games irl I'll be biased and have some favorites), just gonna search around and see all the new stuff added as well, I know in the future for the first draft I'll be drafting a young backup QB since Matt Moore's getting up there and Devlin isn't ideal.

Re: CFM Plans - Madden 15

Going to start a test CFM with the Jags then once the week 1 rosters come out I will start my real CFM with the Cowboys. I'll probably do another one after a while just to change it up since I don't want to do just the Cowboys all the time.

Rebuilding the Raiders by (hopefully) buying them out with Eddie Debartolo Jr and moving them to LA. Will build an offense around Derek Carr and bring fear back to the Raiders name.

I missed last years game, if you move say the raiders to LA can you keep the raiders branding or do you have to use one of those horrible made up teams?

Re: CFM Plans - Madden 15

I believe you can keep the name, logo and uniforms

Re: CFM Plans - Madden 15

I'm going to start 3 different CFMs and sim 10 years in each one. This way I have 30 years worth of draft classes to look at and see how they progressed over those years. I am interested in seeing if there is going to be long term stability in regards to talent in the game this year.

They give you the option, I'll keep the Raiders, but the new team's logos and uniforms are actually a good alternative now.

Re: CFM Plans - Madden 15

I can't wait to start my Bears franchise. I am going to change Jordan Lynch back to QB and hopefully groom him through the game plan feature for two or three years so he can be Cutler's replacement.

I will also look to trade for Jimmie Ward, I have a soft spot for my Illinois boys.

I will have to start scouting for my replacements for Lance Briggs and Jared Allen in the draft. Hopefully Fuller will be Tillman's replacement when he retires.

Bears finally have a potent offense which it sounds like I will need with the renewed focus on D this year's game.

It should be a lot of fun as always, two weeks to go hopefully depending on EA Access.

Re: CFM Plans - Madden 15

Something with the Chiefs, but as a guy who was focused on My NCAA dynasty, getting serious about madden requires some re structuring of my thought process.

For sure will be dumping the 3-4 defense for a 4-3, and will likely build a single back offense, with an emphesis on running the ball and pocket passing.

Ill be doing the online variety of cfm for the web access.

Whats most popular, coach mode or owner mode? Thats what i cant really figure out what i want to do.

Re: CFM Plans - Madden 15

Cowboys Franchise all the way. Will draft Romo's successor after year one and make sure Dez is inked long term.

Re: CFM Plans - Madden 15

I'm going to be playing as the Bills and Cardinals in my 2 CFM's.

With the Cards, my plan is pretty simple. Start Logan Thomas from day one, since he is basically a poor mans Cam Newton in Madden, and build upon their great defense. They have the best secondary in Madden, by far, along with a solid DL. Only thing I will look to improve on is the pass rush, the ILB's are pretty much set. As for offense, Thomas is the clear cut QB of the future, and I will look to deal Fitz, and probably Floyd as well, since I want my WRs to be fast, I'll also look to upgrade the TE position, and play a wait and see approach with Ellington.

With the Bills, their offense is already set in stone, probably the 2nd or 3rd best offensive team in the game, with Manuel, Watkins, Goodwin, Graham, Woods, Spiller. I just need to upgrade the OL, and TE. On defense, I'll be converting them to a 34 scheme, so Mario will be moving to OLB, and Im probably going to trade for the best CB in the game in Patrick Peterson. I'd be negotiating with another human so I don't know what I will have to give up. I'm thinking EJ Manuel Leodis McKelvin and a 2nd for PP, and Logan Thomas? Guy will probably ask for either Watkins Graham or Goodwin though. I'd deal Graham before Goodwin. Since I could just put Woods in the slot, and still have Watkins, and Goodwin on the outside. Watkins will likely never get dealt.

Also, I don't like using my Packers in online franchises due to the fact that I have personal attachments to a lot of the players, which could affect my decision making when it comes to trades and such, and I like to avoid any conflict of interest scenarios. Plus, I like to run a spread option scheme, utilizing the pistol, and that doesn't really fit the Packers' personnel.

Hopefully the Vikings name a starter by release date. If not, I'll be waiting.
