As of right now, I'm a little down on the Titans franchise. Not to say it won't come back, because that is a possibility up until Madden 17 comes out. However, I do want to do something here. That said, I need to decide what I'm going to do. I have a few options and want to hear what you guys think.
1. Fantasy Draft
2. Player Career
3. Another team franchise
4. Sim Franchise

What's a Sim Franchise?? I don't know if I've ever heard of that lol Basically the same thing, but instead of playing the games, I simulate them. That makes the stats for every game the same as the AI vs. AI games, or generally around the same, and makes the game really rely on playbook, schemes, and talented players, rather than the talent of the person playing Madden. |

Well, in that case, 3 or 4 is what I'd like to see as a reader... I don't know how much fun you'd have not playing a game though :/ |

I love building teams, and seeing what they can do. I actually do Sim Franchises on my own time. |

I'd read 3 and/or 4. I do sim franchises all the time with Madden and NBA 2K. The team-building is honestly the funnest part of sports games. I'd also like to nominate my Rams for a potential team to be used.

With two votes for 3 and 4, I'm leaning towards a Sim Franchise. I can get through a lot, generally a season or more in a day, and I can still keep focus on a team franchise on the Titans, when and if I go back to that.

I LOVE Sim Franchises (do them on Madden, NBA and NHL) so I vote that

So, I'm going with a Sim Franchise. But I do still need to decide on a team. Dean suggested the Rams, but there are a few possibilities:
Rams - Tough division, in need of a QB
Browns - Perennial losing team, also needs a QB
Chargers - Team needs some major building, Rivers at latter years of career
Saints - Defense needs major work, Drew Brees nearing end of career
Cardinals - Good team, many veterans that would make retirements a constant threat
If you'd like to suggest another team, then go right ahead.

Out of the ones you've listed, I really would love a Rams franchise and would constantly follow it but I would also not mind a Saints franchise with the looming retirement of Drew Brees.

I feel the Buccaneers, Seahawks, and Broncos would all be good teams. Tampa Bay, since you did the Titans, have a rookie QB and really nothing else, and plus, in a few years I'd like to see if you would re-sign Winston or not, and also like to see how you do with the offseason. Seattle is a great team, but using a salary cap could hinder re-signing your top talent and you might need to let ones go, as well as trade some fellas. I'd love to see what happens there to keep them afloat in the NFC. Denver is a good team, veterans who will retire in the first few years (including quarterback) and also having to spend big bucks to keep the team competing in the AFC... Plus, trying to see if you can construct a team to beat the Patriots is always something!! Of the 3 teams I listed, Broncos might be the most intriguing one and most difficult. And as far as your teams listed, I'd like to see San Diego since nobody has ever laid out the blueprint to bring that franchise back to its winning ways. |

The Seahawks do sound intriguing. Having to sign back the entire LOB within a couple of years, not to mention Russell Wilson and Marshawn Lynch (as I'll be using the Preseason Roster). The Bucs could be interesting as well, but I've done the Broncos before on last year's game. Wasn't too hard for me to keep them a winning team, and I don't really see it going too differently.

Like Russell Wilson would say, #GoHawks! |

It'd be interesting to see if you could turn the Browns into something besides a steaming bag of dog shit on someone's front doorstep so I vote the Browns.
