    What's your CFMteam of choice for Madden '16 this? Home, rebuild, or relocation?

    So, the draft is approaching us soon, and Madden and Madden ‘16 news will hopefully be yet upon us again rather quickly.

    This is probably a better question to ask AFTER the draft is said and done (and maybe this thread can be used for who you will play as after the draft as well), but it’s still fun to get speculate who your main CFM team might will be for the upcoming season, especially if you have an idea of the 1st round, and possibly 2nd round picks for each team, taking a look at some mock draft picks for rounds one and two, the closer we get to draft day.

    I used to always play as my home team (the Saints), but in the last couple years I’ve found it more fun to most of my time building up a team, rather than playing as a good team from the get-go. Rebuilding is fun, but some of the teams that need rebuilding can actually be quite fun to play with as well, especially teams with good (or yet to be seen in real life), young talent to work on. Teams like the Raiders can be fun as well in the rebuilding process, with older talent, but some key young pieces starting to form.

    One team I believe that can be a blast is the Jags with its young talent on the offensive side of the ball. The defense needs building up badly, with some key talented players already in place on that side of the ball as well. After the draft, they could be a lot more fun to play with.

    With that said, I believe I'll be playing as the Jaguars mainly in Madden '16 in CFM this season, and think they will be a really fun team to build up. If current real life draft mocks are any indication, most have the Jags in the first round taking an OLB in Dante Fowler Jr., DE in Leonard Williams, or possibly a WR in Amari Cooper or Kevin White. I've read they may try and pick up someone like Todd Gurley in the second round, but I'm not so sure he'll be there, but that be great fun if so.

    They arguably need a lot of help on the defensive side of the ball now in the first round and second round, rather than more firepower on offense (they do need a good RB and some key o-line pickups though, imo... not to mention a FS at some point real quick).
    I think playing with the Jag's offense with say, an Amari Cooper or Kevin White, Allen Robinson, and Marqise Lee, and now, especially with Julius Thomas at TE, would be a blast with Bortles behind the helm in a young CFM (even better if they somehow get Gurley). Still need to build a bit on that o-line though.

    Either way, no matter who they pick, they look to be a fun team to build up, with some key positions need upgrading in real life early in the draft, and in a Madden '16 CFM as well. It'll take another draft or two, but I think they show some promise for a fun CFM. This is probably not be a popular opinion, but if they can work on that o-line, and Bortles comes through, I can also see them doing better than most think in the future, in real life. I know, but they are the Jags, but that is my opinion. It'll be interesting to see how they unfold, no doubt though.

    So anyway, those are my plans, but which team do YOU plan mainly focusing on in your CFM this upcoming season? Your home team, another team, possibly a relocation team? Or will you try and mix time as much equal time in between two different teams? Or do you plan on waiting until after the draft before thinking on it?

    Good question, I will have to think about it. Off the top of my head, whoever drafts Mariota, cause I like Oregon

      I don't think the saints will be good. Outside of Brees their offense has taken a few steps back with Graham being traded. Josh Hill has good physical abilities but he needs development. Mark Ingram is a steady back but not really a playmaker. Brandon Cooks can be a Reggie Bush type but he's little and still needs work in the passing game. Their line has several holes now. If they pick up a successor to Brees I might consider using them. I feel like their inrebuilding mode. Haven't really used them much since the days of Deuce, Joe, and Aaron. I've still got a signed Boo Williams card somewhere.

          Nobody if they don't make some major improvements to the game this year. Like if they fix the sack issue, that would be a good start. I can't see spending money on another Madden that just keeps having glaring issues every year that they refuse to fix. Overall I liked 15 except for the sack issue, and no cpu vs cpu, or true coach mode yet again.

            They need to fix that for sure. Also the Tackle Stats they suck. Assisted Tackles are still broken.

                That drives me crazy too. If assisted tackles aren't gonna work then just take the stat out of the game, but I would rather have them work.

                  I will probably build up a bad team again. Relocation is something I don't do, the new stadiums to choose from are very limited and end up looking too generic/weird to me. The immersion is also killed when the stadium endzones don't even change for their new field.

                    I like to take a good team that's near the end of their championship window, so I can compete for a year or two, but will anticipate having to rebuild after that. Take Denver, for instance - obviously they're a top team now, but with Peyton near the end of his career, and other key players aging or having expiring contracts in the next few years.

                      Cowboys because they are my team and I like to pick older teams who are in need of an overhaul (like the Bears).

                            I always run two Franchises. One with the Dolphins, because they are my team. I run this one with the opening day week one rosters, and work the team from there as I see fit. Trying to leave the roster alone for the first year. Then I play it out how I see fit after year one.

                            My second franchise. I usually pick a struggling team and relocate them. Typically I relocate the team to Toronto. I moved Jacksonville in Madden 25 to become the Toronto Mounties. However I didn't enjoy it because of the division. In Madden 15, I moved Washington to Toronto, to become the Huskies. Much better fit being in the NFC East. I basically gut the team the second I take it over. Trades, free agents, whatever I can do to make the team almost nothing like the team it was. With Washington, I made a bunch of moves, then I simmed the entire first year, then went all out making more moves.

                            I will likely do the same thing in M16, but I may try a different city to relocate to this year.Not that it makes a big difference anyways. I enjoy either re-building a bad team, or ripping apart a team and building with the draft.

                              I'm going to try to land the Texans in one of my online franchises, and whoever takes Mariota in the other. Texans are a fun rebuild, and Clowney and Watt both coming off the left side should be illegal. Also, Mariota will be 90ish speed, so do the math. If I can't land those teams I'll just be my Packers and hope they take Byron Jones, who will likely be the best rookie Madden CB since PP.
