yeah i love playing franchises, i have no idea why it just gives me a sense of satisfaction pulling a crap team from the bottom and making them real good lol
though i don't know anythign about the soccer leagues as i don't follow it. to many competitions around
u have no idea how franchise in madden 06 is treating me
1st time ever i took over the oaklands raiders (normally i am viking), and created the might Canberra Raiders with jerserys etc, and replaced the oakland team and rosters - hey atleast my team is referred to "The raiders" now
oakland have a crap roster, so i had to re-structure the whole team especially my dee
slowly season after season, my defense is getting better now avg 88 (used to be in 70's)
the results are now turning around and some play-off births come
however in my latest season where my team would have dominated everything (just look at my team rankings v the nfl avg) - my QB whom is mid 90's stats, injured for whole season.........i finish with 50% win record, fail to make playoffs, yetstill returned a profit
i have yet to win the super bowl but made the playoff nearly every year (1 SB appearance but lost) over about 10 seasons, but now my QB is about to retire and my o-line is crash hot mid 90's stats, and my young RB is coming good at 88 stats, so now my gameplan will turn to ground attack
but injuries have killed my SB hopes every season
incase ur wondering - i simulate the season and play as coach, owner - do all the drafting and re-structuring - i love it soo much
the only thing it needs is the ESPN weekly wrap and sportcentre music.....sorry Ripper.......but i love the ESPN music, presentation and Berman.......EA radio has to go............I want sportcentre!!!!!!!!!!..........da da da.....da da da!!!
Bermans - woop woop, he could go all.........the..........................waaaaaay!!!
