gangreenman Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 Seriously, in my first year in the Jets franchise I traded PK for a 3rd and a 4th, moved Adrian Jones to Guard (he's still an 80), signed Antonio Bryant as a 3rd WR and then drafted a DE who is a 76 overall and a RT who is a 78.... Oh, and Chad Pennington is an 86 in the 'rocket arm' category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ECURB Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 I just started a new JETS franchise .... I always sign Antonio Bryant... he is the best FA WR in year 1... I always sign a good guard as well... (Kendall is not on the JETS in my game, I guess because of roster updates through the PS3) I traded Bryon Thomas and JMAC for a 2nd and 3rd round pick... signed Lavar Arrington to fill in Thomas's spot... (Arrington wound up being a beast lol) I won a superbowl year one... Then in the offseason I traded Pennington, T Jones, and Barret for the #1 overall pick and that teams 3rd rounder as well... So I have... 1st overall pick and another 1st round pick 2 - 2nd round picks 3 - 3rd round picks I will also be trading my 1st rounder, Coles and maybe a 3rd rounder if needed to the Lions for Calvin Johnson... I will use the #1 overall pick on a QB... So... QB - #1 Draft pick - Clemens - Derek Anderson RB - Leon - Danny Ware - 2nd round pick WR - Calvin Johnson - Cotchery - Antonio Bryant - 2nd round pick - Stuckey - Smith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gangreenman Posted October 6, 2007 Author Share Posted October 6, 2007 Pretty good Ecurb... I went 9-7 and finished 2nd my 1st year. I am currently 6-3 and in 1st my 2nd year. Right now LWash is only 3 points below TJ and has more icons... So I'm probably going to package Jones and Pennington for a good young QB and a 2nd/3rd rounder. In my 1st year I also traded JMac and Drob for a 330lb, 82 overall DT (forget the name) and a 5th rounder, which I traded away with my 1st rounder to get the DE I wanted.

gangreenman Posted October 6, 2007 Author Share Posted October 6, 2007 I always like to draft a QB in the top 3... I look for a big strong fast QB... Mcnabb type... perfect for Madden I have too many other needs to draft a QB... I need help at OLB, DE, FB, TE, and CB (Revis is my #1, Dyson is getting older and is only an 83, and my next best CB - Barrett and Miller both had contracts expired-is a rookie 72 overall. ) I'm probably going to package Barton and Dyson for a good CB if I cant pick up one in the draft. So, I like the idea of trading for a QB more then drafting one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
green_blood Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 I like a challenge in Madden. In 06, in two separate franchises, I brought Ricky Ray and Kliff Kingsbury into 92 and 89 QBs, and only playing key divisional games. In 07, I traded for Omar Jacobs a few years in for some scrub draft pick I had, and groomed him into a 88 QB, but he never played well in simulated games, so I drafted Matt Garcia from imported drafts from NCAA, and he oddly had an afro. One time as the Raiders (I don't know why I played a franchise as them), I scored Vilma, Miller (who becomes good in game) and Rhodes for Moss, LaMont , and my 2nd and 3rd rounders(two trades). I was proud. I won the Championship next year, only playing key matchups and the AFC Champ and SB, because in the draft, I scored Calvin Johnson in the 1st round, got Michael Bush round two after I traded crappy Michael Huff away and got a 2nd and 4th rounder and some linebacker with good numbers, but a crappy AWR. I then drafted Kevin Kolb and the rest was history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
war ensemble Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 I used to always take over the Bengals, trade all their players, and get 10 1st rounders. Then after 4-5 years I had the awesomest team ever created. I once drafted a 99 speed, 99 power, 92 accuracy quarterback out of the draft. I never use the NCAA draft because they make the top players too good. I never bought this madden though, so I haven't played it in a while. (How many times did I just start a sentence with "I"?)

I'm pretty good at drafting as well. Drafting is so key in Franchise mode...you can lock up 3/4 (and if youre lucky 1-2 80+) 72+ players that usually improve a good amount) for a good 5 years or so at a rather cheap price Anyway, I used to do two franchises when I was younger, 1 as the Jets and 1 as a crappy team like the Cards, Raiders, or Chargers (02/03 seasons) and take them to the SB like 5 times in 10 years. Now that I can only play like 2-3 hours on a regular week I'm down to just the Jets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like building through the draft... It also helps that i know how to draft well. I dont have the time to go searching for any possible trade I can make... Just toinight I was bored so I really focused in the offseason and got some good players like Levi Brown and my rookie QB in. I also dumped Hicks and Jones this offseason for a 3rd and 5th rounder and a 79 overall 2nd year CB... Im probably going to end up trading Ellis and Penny before the season starts also in favor of a better DE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

green_blood Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Next gen sucks. I don't like any of the games, or, I don't like them enough to pay the prices for the console and the higher prices for games. I challenge anyone here to do one of the hardest franchises, completely building a team from FA. Release all the players, take the prestige hit and erase the salary cap, and try to do good with a bunch of crappy rookie UDFAs and grandpa players that are going to retire that year, and there are a lot of them. No gamey trades either. Bonus points for signing Taco Wallace, and making him at least an 83 WR (another triumph of mine). It took me 3 yrs, and Rohan Davey won Best QB, Offensive player of the year, and MVP, and I don't even play most of the games, 5 at the most, and then playoff games. I rule. I'm the ultimate armchair GM and HC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
