Madden NFL 16: The Seven Most Exciting Teams

[RaychelSnr]

Even though the midwest is current experiencing a heat wave, the start of fantasy leagues, preseason rankings, and training camps have me excited that football season is finally upon us. And of course, that means the next Madden release is right around the corner. Seems like a perfect time for another ranking! Let’s take a look at the Madden teams I’m most excited to try on the virtual gridiron.

I may be a homer, but the Vikings should be on there over the Panthers and Lions with all the speed on offense and defense combined with the young talent that they have.

Still good list and nice work!

Vikings are a great team in madden this year

we gonna be a problem this year, weapons everywhere

I can see the Vikings on this list. I agree that Buffalo should show up this year as a team players use due the speed on offense.

I'm going with the Bills in CFM this year... EJ Manuel is no where in my plans though.

Eagles anyone? Best set of RBs, WRs are young and will get crazy ratings boosts over the year, very good front 7, and Malcolm Jenkins/Byron Maxwell helps the back end.

Stretching the field with Moncrief, TY and Dorsett with AJ running routes underneath. It's gonna be dangerous!

Then Carter, AJ, Fleener and Allen in the redzone, lobbing it up all day, or Gore pounding it in. I can't wait!

That's great! Now how are they going to stop opposing teams? They'll be great in madden but typically the powerhouse offensive teams aren't the one hoisting the trophy at the end of the year.

Especially with (inevitable starter) Tyrod Taylor playing like Madden 2004-era Vick the other night.

Unfortunately, that won't stop me from exploiting Madden's trade logic to land an elite QB in CFM.

Yessssssss, I love all the Vikings hype for this season, LOVE IT! I'm ready for them to win 12 games or like 6, it's going to be the best.

[poulka]

Yeah the colts are ready. Already playing with these guys on M15 with updated rosters and drafts picks.

They have made improvements on defense which have largely gone unnoticed. Very little pressure last year from a 4 man rush which meant loads of blitzing. This year, with the return of Mathis (hopefully recovered from his achilles tear and hopefullu the Clomid was just used in the offseason for the purposes he claimed) along with the addition of Trent Cole. Also, Newsome had a nice rookie season as basically our only rusher worth anything. I also like Henry Anderson on 3rd downs.

Another big problem was cornerback depth. Aside from an elite CB1 and an above average nickel corner there wasn't much else. Hopefully D'Juon Smith can help out there as an upgrade over Josh Gordy. When we played the Steelers they started piling up the points when Vontae Davis got injured. Also, he will probably be following WR1 this year taking some pressure off Toler.

Another nice addition is Nate Irving who was one of the best run stopping ILBs in the league. If he can recover from his ACL he could be a nice addition.

I'm not saying the D will be top tier but they weren't as terrible as some make out. The big problem was those top 5 offenses. I'm hoping the D is improved enough to limit their scoring enough for #12 to get the W.

It will be interesting to say the least. The AFC has no clear cut favorite from what I can see. I'd say maybe the Superbowl champions but they took big hits on defense. The AFC could be up for grabs.

Make no mistake, picking up AJ and drafting Dorsett was a direct result of that Pats secondary. Luck was shut down.

I think the Steelers, Pats and Colts have to be three of the favorites with the Ravens and Broncos close behind. Lots of high powered offenses atop the AFC.
