What are your franchise plans?

[BloodMeridian]

I'll be using the Raiders and first thing will be to switch Huff to CB, Branch to FS, and put in Mitchell as starting SS. I'll probably start Howard at ROLB and use Scott at DE, LOLB, and ST.

I'll keep three QB's. Campbell, Grads, and Frye most likely and start Bush at HB with McFadden being a situational player. At WR I'll start Schilens and Murphy and play Murphy in the slot when needed.

Where to start...

1st...I will lower every player in the game (not literally but the main quality players on each team) ratings by 5-15 pts aside from the top 25 BEST in the League (peyton, Brees, Cj etc etc). I feel the overall ratings are still way way too high.

2nd....Select ALL 30 teams and set gameplans and formation subs.

3rd...Begin slider tweaks

4th...Start an OFFline franchise and hope it plays well.

Can you modify formation subs out of game?

Madden's franchise lacks depth for me. All of my franchise plans are going to be happening on NCAA this year. I figure I'll rent Madden after the patches are out.

I'll be the Eagles of course.

Starting Kolb and having Vick come in while I'm in the redzone, and for option/rollout plays.

I will run a 3 headed monster with LeSean McCoy, Mike Bell, and Charles Scott (Similar to what the Saints ran this year)

Hoping McCoy Breaks 1,000 YDs 10 TD
With Bell and Scott Hopefully around the 800-1,000 YDs 6-10 TD range (combined)
Then on defense I think I'm going to find a way to get a better CB for the right side.

I will also try to switch the Eagles to a 3-4 in a few years of drafts and trades. Keeping Brandon Graham and moving him into a 3-4 LB.

I will most likely trade Trent Cole, Broderick Bunkley, and Patterson to find a big nose tackle, and a couple 300 LB DE's like Tyson Jackson and Glenn Dorsey.

Therefore my front 7 would be

DE Dorsey
DT (A big NT)
DE Jackson
OLB Ernie Sims
MLB Stewart Bradley
MLB Joe Mays/Jamar Chaney/Akeem Jordan
OLB Brandom Graham

I hope I don't win the first Superbowl because they will not win it this year in real life. I may sim the season, I might play it though. I will have 2 eagle franchises. One a realistic 4-3 rare trade season. Then a 2nd one that I form around my play style. The one that is realistic will be posted http://www.operationsports.com/forum...franchise.html

Man that (2) does sound nice, sort of a Team tendency thing. Teams that play to their real life tendencies Jets pounding the rock, Saints spreading their Offense out, Peyton throwing the ball 50 times a game.

Was there 30 team control last year? I didn't have '10, but I didn't think it was there. It is fun with The Show, and it should be fun in Madden

Yeah, does the game have formation subs that you can change without playing a game, as BloodMeridian asked? I have been trying to find out the answer to this for months and can't make heads or tails on whether or not it's in.
