(Update: 10/21/2013): The following is my Online Connected New York Giants Franchise, now for Madden NFL 25 on XBOX360.
Franchise
management-wise, I try to look out for all 32 teams in terms of
re-signings, never sign (to my team) the best free
agents available at any position, and don't abuse draft/scouting to have an advantage over the CPU. Also, I will intentionally "lose"
great but contract-expiring players to free agency after successful
seasons (e.g., how the Patriots lost Asante Samuel in real life).
Note: it would be illogical to consider my sliders without also understanding my gameplay house rules, listed below.
House gameplay rules:
- No user catching/controlling WR before the catch
- No switching defenders post-snap
- Mix up play-calling often on offense and defense
- Use a different team's offensive playbook each game
- Use "Ask Madden" as much as possible on offense
- Call a variety of defenses
- Call as many different plays from "Ask Madden" as reasonably practicable.
- Only play that can be audibled into more than twice on defense is a basic scheme (e.g., cover 2 man or cover 2 zone).
- No excessive audibles, hot-routing, or no-huddles (more than two consecutive no-huddles permitted during a two-minute drill). If using a no-huddle, no hot-routing except to keep the RB back to assist in pass-blocking (if a pass play).
- To help with the above, run accelerated clock down so that only 11 play-clock seconds are left after play is called.
