Here is fun scheme:

Make franchise as Cowboys
Play on Pro
Every single offensive down pass to M.A


My best is 52 TDs w only 7 interceptions for 5500 yards over the season.

I commented about this in another thread, but I'll repeat myself because I know for a lot of you the highlight of your day is reading my posts regardless of their originality.

I grew up playing Tecmo Bowl and then Madden. I counted down to the release of each new Madden like I count down to the draft. But I gave up on the franchise around Madden 2007 or so. The game was getting too hard. I'd either play on rookie and win by 40 every week, or play on Pro and couldn't complete a pass or run the ball for anything.

Additionally, my favorite feature was the Franchise mode, and I loved the draft. I would even create draft teams on NCAA, and import them. But the draft didn't make any sense. Teams who took a QB with the first pick the prior year, would take a QB in the first round the next year. Also, some positions would run out of draftees by the 4th round or so.

That all combined to ruin the experience for me, and I eventually found myself solely playing NCAA Football -- a much better franchise, IMO.

Tecmo was the ****!!!!!!!

Too me drafting in the pc version is much easier once you import the draft class.

I like NCAA Football better as well but only buy it used so I don't give EA any more money.

The presentation of the draft was great... with the names scrolling on the bottom, and the time limit to make a pick, etc. But there just wasn't any rhyme or reason to what position teams were drafting. To me, that isn't a minor thing when you get geeks like me who loved the franchise mode.

NCAA is a great game. I really have no complaints, other than the players don't grow. In other words, if you recruited a 6' 220 DE as a freshmen, he'd graduate as a 6' 220 DE (barring position change, etc).

So that also became an issue when I imported draft classes to Madden.

I'm in 2013 of my franchise mode. We're rated an 89. Won the Superbowl a couple years ago.

I've got Mark Sanchez at QB, Darrell Revis, Antoine Bethea, Jerod Mayo, Brian Cushing, Jared Lauranitis, Percey Harvin, and Reggie Bush. I've also got 2 other good running backs and 3 other good wide recievers.

I'm also about $4 million under the cap with all the guys locked up, inlcuding other people on the lines and at tight end.

I'm boycotting Madden until they bring the pc version back.

I'm the same way. I have a PS3 types USB controller for my PC just for Madden.

I just got my XBox 360 and 1 year online deal yesterday for my Anniversary/Fathers Day gift.

Right now all I own is Left 4 Dead 2 and I've reserved my copy of UFC 2010 but I plan on getting Madden 2011. I thought about getting 2010 but then I figured since the new one would be out in August I might as well just wait till then because I'm sure everyone I'd be playing with over the next couple of months will wind up moving to 2011 and if I buy 2010 right now there is no way I'd buy 2011 a few months later. I generally skip a year with Madden, at least that's how I always used to do it.

I also have Red Dead Redemption and Modern Warfare 2 on tab as games I've got to get.

That might be the longest sentence in the history of man. I had to catch my breath after reading it.

I used to play Madden A TON. Then I got up to the reall high levels and that is where all the glitchers and cheesers are. They all cheat when they get to high levels so I pretty much quit playing it online.
