JBURGE Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 (edited) Hi guys, I have done Madden franchises on here in the past. I am thinking of starting a new one, and in the first one I have done on this game, I have enjoyed watching CPU games. Would people have interest in watching if I streamed on twitch? What team would people like to see me do? Dolphins Kets, Pats, Packers, who? Anyone but the Vikings - Bears - Lions. What kind of restrictions? I usually operate under 2 1sts and 2 2nds, with the 1sts being one in the top 16 and one 17-32. What else do you guys like seeing? A reference to my last league on Madden 19: Edited February 10, 2021 by JBURGE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayRaider Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Panthers. Maybe stay put and get Lance (you gonna use a 2021 draft import?) or trade up for Wilson or Fields. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeT14 Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 I assume you want a large reclamation project to do? Might be fun to see if you can build Burrow into something special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These rebuilds will generally focus on CPU generated players, especially at QB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not do realistic rebuilds in the sense that we sign real free agents and try to compete early. I said it in the comment right above now, but I won't be keeping any players on a team long term. They will all be CPU generated after a few years. I am more or less looking for what people want in terms of content - what team, what type of information do you want me to share - how much league wide info? Since this will go a lot slower than my past rebuilds where I would do a season a week or more, I would theoretically have more time to post stats across the league.

You can have only two firsts and two seconds per draft, but you cannot trade picks in that year once Week 1 starts. And you cannot trade up in the draft, ever. Essentially you have to pick two firsts in Week 1 that you think can be good and roll the dice that they are. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Essentially you have to pick two firsts in Week 1 that you think can be good and roll the dice that they are. I think I have operated with those rules before, except if I end up with the 1st and 4th pick I have to trade the 4th pick for pick 17, for example. I am allowed to get compensation for that move down. With that being said, the drat classes in M21 are legit terrible, so I might just use the option you gave and scrap the 1 pick rom 1-16 and 1 from 17-32 and just do two 1sts. As for the broncos, I like that idea. It will be very very difficult though because the Chiefs stay elite for a long time, so likely will need to make the playoffs as a wildcard, which is fine. That is actually a really good team - I can keep the good young players for a few years and just not re-sign them, and Von Miller, Bouye and Sutton should make solid trade options in the first year or two to build up draft capital. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I started a franchise on Saturday or Sunday, and I can confirm they are still terrible. Might be 6-8 hidden players in the 1st each year, which is a significant amount less than previous years. I think I have done 9 or 10 classes in a Jets rebuild and averaging probably 5 picks in the first 2 rounds each year I have drafted 2 superstars and 1 X-Factor, and one of each was just in the last class I had. before that had 1 Superstar.

I did a draft last night and I hit 6 hidden dev players in 1 draft class. My experience has been the draft classes have improved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will check the next one on this Jets league. I am seeing a fair amount of decent hidden UDFA WRs, more so than the last couple years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lions017 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Operation Sports has some really good custom draft classes with fake players. Those are a lot of fun to use and are more balanced in terms of steals, busts, and accurate heights and weights for positions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will take a look at them - in the past I have avoided these because I love to hate the RNG you get on Madden classes. It also can take away from the randomness of the team building. Maybe I will try doing a couple drafts with them and see if I like them Edited February 11, 2021 by JBURGE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
