Madden NFL 16: Five Teams to Consider for your Franchise

10:46 AM - May 20, 2015 by RaychelSnr

The news of Odell Beckham Jr. being voted the youngest ever to be on the cover of Madden is still fresh, and it’s also the first first sign that the game’s release is on the horizon.

Which means there’s only one thing to do: Figure out what team to dominate your Connected Franchise with next season.

For some, picking a team for a franchise mode is almost as important as anything you will ever do in your life. That’s why we’re getting this out of the way now, three months before the game comes out. With the NFL Draft and free agency finished (at least for the most part beyond some post-June 1 cuts that may shake things up), there’s a little more roster clarity.

Having a three-month head start might help you clear your head and figure out what team is a better option for you. On some level, it would make sense to make a case for each of the 32 teams, but hopefully narrowing it down to just five teams will help crystallize things a bit more.

Important note: Tampa Bay and Tennessee are obvious choices that will be omitted from this list. A lot of people will jump at the chance to play with Jameis Winston or Marcus Mariota. For this list, we’ll look beyond those two teams.

Here are five teams, in no particular order, which you should think about for your franchise mode in Madden 16.

Likely rolling with the Chiefs, as they are my team. I would have never even considered using any other team than Nebraska in NCAA. I still feel a certain amount of betrayal using a different team.

If the question was restated to, which team would you want to develop in madden, I think the Eagles would be in my top 5. But if I'm in a competitive franchise where I'm trying to win the Superbowl every year, the Eagles would not be in my top 10. Byron maxwell won't be higher than 86 I can promise you that. I'm pretty sure your other corner is a rookie. You will get abused. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

Again, Injury prone means nothing in Madden.

My RBs are 27, in Madden thats an easy 5 seasons if they hit their goals.

My WRs are all young, and we have no idea how they'll be rated next year lol.

The Jags are on this list, and there's no way they're more potent or have a better outlook than the iggles lol.

My brother is a redskins fan and in our cfm when I play him there is never a game where RGIII doesn't get hurt. I drafted a receiever whose draft storyline involved him dropping stock because of continuous injury and when I drafted him his injury rating was 67. I put him in kick return and the first game he got hurt. And yes if I were to start a franchise and want to develop a team I would choose the Jaguars over the eagles. They have a ton of cap space, a QB with superstar development rating, young. Their fan base doesn't expect much so the first season I could easily tank by starting all young players and it would jot affect my income as much as it would if I were using the eagles. They have a lot of holes to fill which is what makes madden fun in my opinion. But that's just my playing style. I tend to use teams like the jags, rams, raiders, redskins.

Yes injury rating doesn't mean much at all in madden. I've always kept injuries on, and gangrene been worried to draft a player because of their injury rating lol. Especially if it were ol, dl lol.

Didn't you just say in a previous post the Eagles are a top 5 team you'd develop?

Their Fans don't expect much? When was that a thing in Madden?

Based on what?

I could see the Vikings as being fun, two young press CBs, good QB mobile, great RB, wouldn't be very difficult.
