I am heading into 2036 season in my franchise. It has been enjoyable for the most part with many dissapointments along the way. I am getting bored. This is not unusual as this is the normal point at which I get bored with madden. With the 30 year franchise limit going through the draft realizing I will not get to see these guys's career play out I lose interest.

The question is whether I can start a new franchise and remain interested. I would like some ideas on how to do this. One idea I have is getting rid of the salary cap. I think this will mean each team can spend what ever available funds they have. This would create some power house teams that will suck up free agents like the Yankees but leaving some small markets doomed to mediocrity at best. Is this how it works? Has anybody done this? Would there be any difference between doing this as an owner versus as a coach? If I took over a mid market team would it actually mean ten years down the road some large market teams would have higher overalls than me?

Any other ideas that would lead to a different experience the second time through?
