I'm thinking my draft class will look something like this...

1- fournette
2- Adams
3- white
4- Beckwith
5- pocic
6- Dupre
7- Smith

You can't make a draft class. You can supposedly edit your picks though. I don't know exactly how it works because I haven't got there yet. Just read about it and see the players being created to make on OS.

The one thing this game is missing is customizable draft classes. That would put it over the top for me.

Mariota is the greatest franchise QB in the game btw.

That is all.

What rosters? You can't download rosters onto madden. You have to create fournette yourself. They just have the ratings and stuff to create him on OS.

but I signed Matt Flynn (keeping the LSU theme alive) and he filled in for 4 weeks

Last year in madden 16, I picked up Flynn in my first preseason as the saints. And in like my first year, Brees got injured in the second to last game of the season and Flynn came in and played decent the rest of the game and played well for the last game. We finished 13-3. And Brees was gonna be out for the playoffs and super bowl. But Flynn carried us to the super bowl
I did have fournette at running back to be honest.

Did a fantasy draft with my friends and built a great defense and pretty good offense and I thought this was real fantasy football (ironic I know) and ended up with Paxton Lynch. I can't throw for shite

From a gameplay perspective, this game is much better than '16 was, and I had no complaints about lasts year's version...

I can't wait to see how franchise mode shapes up.. Have they made changes to scouting and the draft?

I hated how they got rid of the "Be A Pro" feature in last year's madden. Did they bring that back? I liked playing with just one player trying to be the best



They didn't


You mean to tell me you went a whole year without realizing you could control just one single player and have a career mode with him??

No changes to scouting... Haven't made it to the draft to see.

I did get the shite beat out of me by the Panthers today though to drop to 6-4.

Anyone have any pointers for staying out of the red as a owner with funds? I'm trying to sign guys to low signing bonus money, but I'm currently - 9 mill. Doesn't look like I'll host many, or any, playoff games. So I'll lose money each week of the playoffs too.

Any pointers?

Started a franchise with the Saints (my first problem I know).. Started out 2-0 in two close games. Third game I lost to the Falcons because they held the ball for most of the 4th. I realized after a few games I needed to turn off the quick clock and turn up quarter lengths. I need to look into the sliders too to get more realistic.


Only thing that was noteworthy was in the 4th game against the chargers they blocked two punts (no other punts blocked through 6 games).. One for TD one for safety. Obviously they killed me. I'm 3-3 through 6 but the stats have been extremely off.

Are y'all doing full games or that moments thing?

I just set myself up for punishment. Started with the Jets and put it on All-Madden. This probably won't go well.

I think when I get the game, my first franchise will be a pseudo expansion team with the Saints. Like I keep Brees, Thomas, Breaux, and Anthony and replace everyone else with shitty free agents and try to build.

So icing the kicker is a thing again.

Just lost a game when they called a TO before the game winning FG. You press A for the first time and then when it's halfway back down the power meter, the meter disappears forcing you to guess on the accuracy

Holding off on Franchise until I can get a roster update. Saints roster is missing guys like Erik Harris, Ken Crawley, Tommylee Lewis.

I'm having hell of a time with the Browns under all pro. Started 2-0 then dropped seven in a row. I chocked a few of those away. Another i stubbornly was trying to make Pryor at WR a thing and paid for it. Simmed rest of season. Need to draft and sign some FA's.

Made a bunch of trades. Traded for Phillip Rivers, Piere Garçon, and Navarro Bowman in year one. Then dealt Garçon, K'Waun Williams, and a 2nd for Alshon Jeffrey. I dealt Mingo to the Pats too.

Drafted a 6'4" CB and a 6'4" SS. The CB has slow development though. Then floated out two seconds and a third for Chris Harris and Denver accepted it In madden 16 you couldn't get an elite CB for two 1sts unless they were older than 32. I try to do fair-ish deals 99.9% of the time.

Should be a playoff contender in a tough division. Our major weekness is pass rushing. Our OLB's are still young and needing development. Capable but they're not much better than a replacement level player.

I'd also suggest turning up your XP sliders to 150-175 on most everything. I have an old QB so I'm not sure there. My OL got very little development. Cameron Erving got one upgrade on the season. Felt like a wasted year.
