I usually wait until the end of the year and if they didn't make the pro bowl I will boost it. I prefer to have the extra XP for the next few years usually

That isn't going to be worth it.  He's already 23, and the cost to improve his traits will skyrocket when he turns 26.  So you only have 3 years of cheap upgrades.  You're better off putting all of the points into upgrading him during your 3 year cheap window.  Read here for details:

Glad Mr. Butthole finally got his hands on an NFL team.

That man's gone through some serious s*** to get this team.

And he's taking it right to Toronto, one of the stinkiest cities north of Mexico

Making me want to start a franchise thread (and maybe a tank bawse thread too since ppl were asking for it in wayta the other day lol). I probably will if I get madden 19. Hopefully it finally gets revamped in franchise mode and whatnot lol

If by revamped you mean new load up screens/colors then yes. xD

 

Get some LSU boys, Burge.

I will be doing most of this stuff on weekends. During the week it's hard for me to go on and do it for only 1 hour because you can't get enough accomplished. 

Having done these in the past, the best thing you can do is take your time.   If you try to rush it, you're more likely to get burnt out.

2018 Pre-Season

I have now cut all of the player who were on the roster last year. I will be filling out the rest of my 2018 roster through UDFA and FAs <70 overall. Maybe a trade for a HWS prospect I like.

Players of Note

I started typing this up and honestly, this is a really bad crop of UDFAs. There were only 3 players I actually like. I will update this week 4 of the off-season, because since I released 40 NFL caliber playhers, I'm sure there will be some roster bottom dwellers who become available to me. 

    Position Name Ovr Age H/W Relevant Stats Notes
1 UDFA QB1 Cole Schneider 65 23 6'3 / 226 95 TP  
2 UDFA LE Rashaud King 69 21 6'7 / 307 88 STR / 77 PMV  
3 UDFA RE Titus Kalu 68 22 6'7 / 259 87 SPD / 79 FMV is 71 ROLB

Focus Training

I will be focusing on LOLB Murphy, HB Neal, and WR Quin. I am going to pass on the CB and hope that i have a shot at the Pro Bowl, considering we will be playing defense all year. 

I am going to sim to Week 4 of the pre-season to see what other guys I can add to this 0-16 team. 

Former Bills Updates

Browns sign Zay Jones
Browns sign Kelvin Benjamin
Broncos sign Charles Clay
49ers sign Jerry Hughes
Browns sign Shaq Lawson
Steelers sign Micah Hyde
Chiefs sign Tre'davious White
Lesean McCoy remains unsigned

Week 4 Additions

    Position Name Ovr Age H/W Relevant Stats Notes
1 FA ROLB Tanoh Kpassagnon 69 23 6'7 / 280 84 PMV moved to RE (68)
2 FA (R) LE RJ German 68 23 6'3 / 297 85 PMV / 85 SPD  

I signed Tanoh just cause I liked him in the draft last year. I doubt he will play at all. German is interesting though. He is a smalled interior guy, but his 85 speed is outrageous. If I was playing a 43 in real life he would be an ideal elephant guy, but in the 34 he will play LE. In the future, when I play, I may use a multiple defense and play him on the edge a bit. 

The regular season begins...

Note: Some players are 70 or above. This is due to changing coach schemes and position changes when signing players, ex signing 3-4 DE and moving to DT.

This is gonna be a rough year.

For this first year I am not going to detail every player, but if at any time you would like to see a screenshot of a specific player, or would like more details on their HWS and ratings, please let me know. I plan starting next year to have a detailed positional stats, but it isn't worth it right now with 40 players I just signed, half of which won't be on the team next year. 

2018 Regular Season

I don't plan on playing any games, but if I get to week 17 and I am 0-15, I'll try to win the last game.

Goals for the year are to not have any serious injuries to any of my strong draft picks, particularly CB Phelps. I really need him to have a big year so I can develop him without training. He is the only player year 1 worth a damn on my defense, so if anyone has a chance, it's him. 

And just a reminder, I have started the process of moving the team to Toronto, but I will keep the Bills name.
