The Official Last-Gen How is your CFM going thread (Madden 15)

[tattoosandcigars]

I guess someone should start it. I didn't see it anywhere, so I went with it.

In my Steelers CFM, sitting at 2-1 after a 21-6 win over Carolina. Getting ready to play a surprising 3-0 Buccaneers squad in Pittsburgh in week 4.

How about you guys?

Thanks for starting this. Can't wait to hear about everyone's CFMs.

As for me, I usually wait for the official 53-man roster update to come out before fully immersing myself into franchise mode. In the past I have gotten impatient and simply made the cuts myself, but it takes way too long and I end up quitting and using the new rosters anyways since there may be players that weren't originally in the game. Leaving the CPU to make cuts is never good because they cut so many rookies and developmental players that surely won't be cut. So I will be waiting until Sunday (I believe the update should come out by then) to start my 32-team Chargers franchise.

Anyways, since official rosters don't matter much for fantasy drafts, I went ahead and did a fantasy franchise with the Titans. I was a little thrown off by the CPU drafting this year since it's somewhat different from M25; running backs last a long time while the front 7 go pretty quickly.

With that said, here's some of the guys I have on my team, without going too much into my reserves since this post is already tl;dr worthy:

QB: Johnny Manziel
Hs: CJ Spiller, Montee Ball, De'anthony Thomas, Marcus Lattimore
WR: Dez Bryant, Sammy Watkins, Tavon Austin
TE: Eric Ebron
DE: Tank Carradine, Timmy Jernigan
DT: Star Lotulelei
OLB: Barkevious Mingo, Quinton Coples
ILB: Sean Lee, James Laurinaitis, Kyle Van Noy
CB: Patrick Peterson, Morris Claiborne, Bradley Roby
S: Tyrann Mathieu, Ha Ha Clinton-Dix

Like most everyone who does fantasy drafts, I always go for young guys and try to develop them. I'm playing on All-Madden currently 1-4. My defense is really struggling to prevent QBs from throwing for 90% every game lol! I'm experimenting with sliders too so things are a bit messy right now but they've been better than when I first started.

If I don't make the playoffs I will be highly disappointed, but I'll also realize my defense might need some help.

Really loving the game so far!

Took steelers to the superbowl with a disappointing 8-8 season.. Lost to the 12-4 niners. Done a lot of free agency and draft work. Liking how it's going so far.

Thru 10 games as the redskins, we are 6-4. Garcons has missed alot of games, as has Jordan reed. Rg3 misses his targets.

I am starting a whole rebuild/relocate project with the Texans. Lost my first game of the season to the Redskins.

Clowney and 2 other OLB's were injured in the preseason. All for 3 weeks.

I think Arian Foster had about 40 yards on 20 carries with one TD.

Difficulty - All-Pro (some sliders, QB Accuracy, Injuries and Interceptions).
8 Minutes

I may up the quater lenght to 10 minutes for more stats. Raiders are next, so if I lose to them, I am probably doomed.

Just like most years I havent been able to start one because I cannot find a slider set that works for me. I tend to play on all-pro and all my attempts result in near perfect passing, no penalties, no sacks and no turnovers.

Hopefully i will figure it out soon.

started with the bills..relocated them to Brooklyn.. really started in the second season...traded for Kirk Cousins, and now have him and EJ battling it out. No longer have CJ spiller or F. Jackson...have Mark Ingram, Jaquizz Rodgers, And Bryce Brown. The move to brooklyn was a selling point for Wes Welker and i got him here in free agency. I also got Prince Amukamara and Cary williams in FA to go along with a 93 ove Stephon Gilmore.
