first thing you do when you start a chiefs franchise on madden

oaklandhater · 07-26-2006, 05:39 PM

I Useally like to Cut Hicks Siavii Bartee and Black.

Mecca · 07-26-2006, 05:41 PM

I don't do that because Eric Hicks usually gets a pretty good rating on madden......and also you'll kill your depth and give yourself cap hits.

Hootie · 07-26-2006, 05:49 PM

Siavii turns into a stud if you start him, so does Sims.

JBucc · 07-26-2006, 06:14 PM

Trade Woods and most of the OL

Hootie · 07-26-2006, 06:18 PM

Why would you trade Woods? Huge cap hit.

In terms of what I do, I know all of the gliches in franchise mode, it's funny.

Unless you win the super bowl and TRich makes the pro bowl, Green and Richardson retire. I usually trade for Tim Rattay for a 2nd round pick because he has good awareness and can develop into a good QB.

Then, I spend my cap room on resigning Woods to a 1 year deal, and sometimes Hicks as well. That way I can get rid of them after one year without taking any cap hit.

The following year I'll trade Holmes for a first round pick, then I sign Rashad Lee (HB, rated 69 overall) and position switch him to a FB (he has FB PBK and RBK), and he develops into a stud.

I usually keep Roaf, Shields, Weigmann, Welbourn until they retire. Age doesn't mean a thing in Madden.

Other than that, I'll do training camp every year for Rattay and Rattay only.

Sims and Siavii usually end up being in the mid 90's before 5 or 6 years, which is amazing.

Oh and clearing your cap hits in the offseason is pussy and I never do it. That's dumbs down the entire idea of running a team.

Did they finally change it so you get a cap hit when you trade players? I was playing Madden 2006 recently and I didn't notice a cap hit when trading players. Makes it real easy to unload the Woods's and Warfields with big cap numbers.

Never bought Madden 06 after trying it and seeing how much was stripped out of it.

Hootie · 07-26-2006, 06:26 PM

They've been doing cap hits since 2003, lol. What are you smoking??

And Warfield isn't a big cap hit at all. He has a big base salary, but a low signing bonus. His cap hit is like, 600K or something miniscule.

Maybe for player cuts. I'm talking trades though. I'm not getting cap hits when trading players. Read my post.

Ummmm....sign Ty Law?

Mecca · 07-26-2006, 06:31 PM

He's right you didn't take cap hits for trading players till last years Madden.

JBucc · 07-26-2006, 06:33 PM

I've never taken cap hits for trading anyone

Hootie · 07-26-2006, 06:40 PM

Well, in this years game you get cap hits for trading players...and in previous years games I got cap hits for trading players, so I don't know what you guys are smoking.

NJ Chief Fan · 07-26-2006, 06:40 PM

I usually save money by trading deadbeats like Woods. Maybe I just see the numbers I want to see.

edit: I'm going to have to go start a new franchise and see now
