Is it important to have goals in Madden 17?
Goals in Madden NFL 17 Franchise Mode are more important than ever before! Accomplishing goals definitely helps you win games and should not be neglected. As an owner and coach, you can check your goals in the Goals Menu.
1. Scout
I'll admit, I used to hate scouting. In the super old days of PlayStation 2 Madden, I had no problem scouting, but once the series went next-gen (for back then)... I don't know what happened. Honestly, I would say that it wasn't until Madden NFL 12 or so that I really started to get back into the scouting aspect in franchise mode.
2. Identify your needs
Why is identifying your needs after scouting, you ask? You probably think I'm crazy, but just hear me out here. I promise this makes some degree of sense.
3. Know when to hold 'em..
When you scout enough guys, you start seeing the prospects that really jump out grade and attribute wise. You found a defensive back with A speed and A- hit power? Awesome! A quarterback with A+ arm power and B- acceleration? Michael Vick in Madden 04 is about to look like Jared Lorenzen in Madden 10.
4. ...and know when to fold
As soon as you saw that Ravens logo, that should have been a perfect indication that things were going downhill. I got tempted with my second-to-last pick with the Baltimore Ravens, saw a quarterback with great throw power and speed, and thought he would be a gem pick.
5. Experiment
I have a guilty habit I need to admit to: I scout more guys projected to go in rounds six and seven -- plus guys who are likely to go undrafted -- then I do players projected to go in rounds three through five.
What is the goal of Draft Young?
8. Draft young. Your goal is to create a dynasty, not to win one championship and then fade into the oblivion.
Can an NFL team have a poor offensive line?
Throughout NFL history, no team has ever succeeded with a poor offensive line. However, at the same time, star offensive linemen demand more money than any other position; and a team can easily be financially crippled by throwing the bank at a single member of an offensive line. Therefore, avoid top tier linemen such as Joe Thomas, and instead look for a lower rated tackle with a high upside such as Joe Staley. After all, success on the offensive line is about the unit, not the individual.
Is Madden the best video game ever made?
If you are a fan of the NFL, the chances are that you play Madden. For the remote few of you who may not be familiar with the game, Madden is the popular video game series that carries the namesake of former NFL Head Coach and Announcer, John Madden. While the matter is certainly up for debate, most sports fans would likely consider Madden 2009 to be the greatest sports video game ever made.
Is it better to draft in the second round or first round?
Instead, draft the core of your team in the second round, where the talent is almost just as good but the price tag is incredibly less than that of their previously mentioned contemporaries. This technique will allow you to build up your depth, create a solid youthful foundation for your team, and maintain financial stability throughout your tenure as a Madden general manager.
Can you lose a game in Madden if you don't score a point?
Simply stated, you can’t lose the game if your opponent doesn’t score a point. In my Madden franchise, I went all-out on drafting the perfect defense; and since then I have shut my opponent out in all but two games, and I have yet to lose at all. Even if you have no offense, a great defense will usually win the game for you.
Is drafting a quarterback bad for Madden?
Drafting a star quarterback is the biggest mistake someone can make in Madden. Not only do they command way too much money, but also the lowest-rated quarterbacks can excel with the pieces around them, if the chemistry is right. Hey, just look at Matt Cassel last year. In my Madden franchise, I drafted Kevin O’Conell as my quarterback in the final round of the draft, and he has since bloomed into the league MVP. Plus, he is signed for the next seven years at only about $3 million a season.
