Board 8 > B8 Madden Franchise @Starts Here@

(+) Yeah! (+)

The injuries are just real bad luck

Any player may request a trade at any point if they want a fresh change

Stan got traded by the AI but he went from dud to stud just by changing his team

Didnt see but 49ers signed QB Easton Stick (former Explorer/Chargers QB). the 49ers backup QB apparently broke his leg in practice? He hasnt entered a game all year so confused by this

---

I'd be curious about a trade since I'm so low on the totem poll with the Bucs but is there a way to see what the options are before deciding?

The number of 35-0 shutouts makes it seem like the games simulation engine is messed up or something

Yea as i said in #b8nfl simulations have changed quite a bit since madden 06 for the worse. its truly lazy and chaotic in many ways.

We somehow predicted Brady to the Bucs with this sim, but we didn't listen.

Texans > Rams: You know what teams really lackluster? the Rams
Bears > Lions: Beavis picks off Matthew Stafford and wins the game, Beavis 0tac 1INT
Patriots > Panthers: Trubisky did nothing so Leonard Fournette but the team on his back scoring 3 times
Eagles > Cowboys: I need to talk about the Cowboys. This is the scariest freaking defense I've ever faced. Demarcus Lawrence is a nightmare coming off the edge and he can toss two blockers like nothing. If I don't throw in 2 seconds Wentz is on his back, and because hes so fast I can only roll out left. But on the other side Robert Quinn is waiting for me....

In the middle Vander Esch sits and hes so damn fast he can be in the backfield in seconds. Then in the backfield Starscream sits to run me down.

This was a nightmare to play and we only scored 3 points to win the game 3-0. The only benefit is my Defense was better than last years so we equally terrorized Prescott with my scary dline.

Starscream 5 tacs
