What level do you have it on?

Halfway through my 1st season with Bills, got about a 60% win percentage at the moment.

Got Moore at QB from Panthers

Put Spiller to my starting RB

Signed Hillis at FB

And a new WR and TE whos names escape me.

Its at about 60% difficulty but I was playing on "superstar" mode in that game.

On my franchise I have made it a bit easier on Defense until I get used to it because Im getting ripped to shreds even by the worst teams, I can stop the run pretty well but my pass defense is terrible

I want to start on the online franchise but the EA server keeps kicking me off!!
Is it any good?

I see the Superstar mode on Madden is ridiculous as usual. My 71 rated rookie RB was drafted by the Falcons and I'm starting ahead of Turner

No matter your ability, you always start in superstar mode. It needs an overhaul next year IMO, with training camp to prove yourself and positional battles.

I liked the combine version of getting stats too.

Rumours of an AJ Hawk for Marshawn Lynch trade.

Re: NFL Chat 4 : Thu Sep 16, 2010 8:19 am  

We very rarely trade so I'm sceptical about it. I'd be ok with that trade because IIRC AJ is still on his rookie deal and we have decent depth there. I'm not a Marshawn fan though.



Pleased fantasy wise, I managed to get all of my primary targets!

I only targeted one player in my 3 leagues. B-Jax to backup McCoy, Rice and Charles in the fantasy league you chaps aren't in. Pretty pleased with all my teams so haven't looked to make any moves yet. Am I correct in thinking the longer I take to make a move on the waiver wire the better my waiver seeding gets? Or is it all done on points now?

Oh and we meet again this weekend

No its to do with whether you win or lose. I was waiver rank 2 because LFC lost by the most, me the second most (thanks for that EPC! ). Whether it resets weekly or not i'm unsure.

My starting team is perfectly set but my bench in the main league is terrible. I think i put in about 6 waiver requests(most of which were incase my first choices were taken) . Even at 2 i didn't expect to get B-Jax.

Re: NFL Chat 4 : Thu Sep 16, 2010 3:59 pm  

Well i'm at 10 because I won by over 100 points.

But I would have liked Jackson or D'Mac, anyone want to trade afor a RB?

Re: NFL Chat 4 : Thu Sep 16, 2010 9:02 pm

QB: Rivers, McNabb
RB: MJD, S-Jax, Benson, Felix Jones
WR: Harvin, Ward, Floyd, Gaffney, Knox
TE: Gonzalez, Daniels

It was on an EA Development blog that Superstar and Franchise will be getting hammered next year. This year, they focused on developing facets of gameplay.
