Madden NFL 09: Five Teams to Consider for Your Franchise

[minus28]

I always run with the Lions. its my team. I am a pocket passer so it only makes sense. i like to build them up and make them respectable. I also make trades to basically who i think they should have drafted. (in 05 it was Merriman instead of BMW, etc.)

Re: Madden NFL 09: Five Teams to Consider for Your Franchise

In every Madden since 1999 (regardless if I bought the game or not) I've always won the Super Bowl with the Bills at least once.

Just the thought of doing that in a videogame is incentive enough for me to try it again every year!

I used to play as my my favorite team, New England, but franchise is not much fun starting at the top. So for the past few years I've been using the Bears and Cards.

So basically. sometimes I have to build a defense, and sometimes I have to build an offense.

I remember in 2k5 using the bears and never being able to get a good QB or have a RB do well for more than 1-3 years...something bad always happened to mess up their careers.

The Raiders are going to be a fun team to play with this year. I usually pick a middle of the road team like Buffalo, Arizona, or Oakland and build them.

I'll probably be my 'Queens at some point, but I hate Tarvaris Jackson. John David Booty will be my starter.

Hey wait a minute!! We don't call them the "Queens" till week 7 or so damn it! :wink:

[thescoop]

sticking with the Pack and firing Ted Thompson and keeping Favre as my starter for another year or so.

I'll probably use the Raiders, Chiefs, and Cardinals in Franchise mode.

Still deciding between the Eagles,Vikings,Browns and Bills with a small hope of the 49ers.

Cowboys first for me, then maybe the Vikings or Lions.

[TheBrothers24]

Gotta run with my hometown chargers first and after i run with them, ill build another team from the groun up. Probably the falcons

Re: Madden NFL 09: Five Teams to Consider for Your Franchise

I'll do the same thing I do every year, play with the Giants. Then when I get bored, I'll rebuild a team, realistically! Falcons and the Dolphins are looking real interesting right now. When I was doing the Dolphins franchise in 08 I would sign Josh McCown from FA and make him the starter, funny that it actually happened IRL

Re: Madden NFL 09: Five Teams to Consider for Your Franchise

I would go with my Cowboys at first like always, but if Pacman isn't added to the roster until he is "cleared to play" officially, I may hold off.

I'll just start another one with another team.

Re: Madden NFL 09: Five Teams to Consider for Your Franchise

i have to roll with my cowboys. although, i can't believe the vikings aren't on that list. they are definitely my second pick to run a franchise with.
