Who's gonna get it?

My brother likes the Madden games, and I've been checking this out and it looks really good, so I think we're going to get the package.

I've never wanted to play Head Coach as much as I do this week.

**The Franchise** · 12-18-2008, 10:36 AM

So I started playing it last night again.

Why the hell would any team in their right mind trade a 2009 2nd round pick for Adrian Jones? Well....the Seahawks did.

I got pissed after 45 minutes though because I was simming until the draft and my PS3 locked up.

So a question for everyone. Well actually two.

1. When you start a new career...do you create your own coach or do you go with an existing one?

2. Do you start off in the offseason or do you start in preseason?

here's my question, and i suppose it's directed at anyone playing on "last gen"...is the game for PS2 still as cool as the one for next gen? all the same in depth stuff or just a retred from last year? thanks.

the ps2 version was a pain in the ass. a LOT of lag time, the game engine didn't work as well (not that this one is perfect)--I had it and put over 100 hours into it (mostly simmed games, etc), but it was a pain in the ass.

depends on what you want to do, really. I start with my own coach, and I've done both offseason AND preseason: word to the wise, glenn dorsey gets injured quite a bit (and the chiefs trainer SUCKS)--so offseason isn't the worst idea.

one of these days I'll upload the potentials for all of the draft classes I've gone through--I take the time to get all potentials for every player in the draft classes, I'm like five drafts in. started with the 'jack english/dane marrow' draft, etc.

Who did you get with your 2 1st round picks in the opening season?

I've gone through several different careers--the one that comes to the top of my mind I traded the fifth pick for the 26th pick, a third round pick, and their first the next year... the 17th pick I drafted ryan clady (great in this game) and the 26th pick I picked mike jenkins. he's a MONSTER at cornerback in this game.

the next year, I turned the first round pick that I acquired into dane marrow, who's been my QB through two super bowls in three years. his potential is 97 (in 'field general' strategy for QBs), he's awesome.

Ultra Peanut · 12-20-2008, 06:54 AM

I've honestly lost all interest in every other game right now, for some reason (including the ones I haven't played yet), so I'm getting this from Gamefly.

Did you go crazy in FA or just sign 1-2 guys?

I almost exclusively avoid free agency. for the most part, EVERYBODY is overpaid--I build everything through the draft (which is why I compiled all of the potentials), and when a guy is up for a second contract, 80% of the time he gets traded for draft picks. rinse/repeat. no kidding, I've literally had roughly 20 draft picks a year just by working the trades. trade down, trade down, your best values come in the last ten picks of the first round.

The trades during the draft are insane. Everyone wants to trade down.

it's crazy. if you can get a top three pick, you can turn that into several first round picks and a second or third round pick VERY easily, and there are a LOT of sleepers in the drafts.

KCrockaholic · 12-23-2008, 12:35 AM

So how does everyone like the play creator? has anyone tried uploading a created play from HC 09' to Madden 09'? this feature sounds awesome, i gotta try this!

Ultra Peanut · 12-23-2008, 02:08 AM

I probably should have been paying attention before I went after a couple of RFAs in free agency and I lost #5 and #17...

No worries, my draft was still super-productive after some wheeling and dealing. Then I got a 2009 first rounder from Tampa in exchange for Gonzo, and dumped Nap Harris off on somebody for a THIRD rounder after much squabbling. Suckers.

any one else own the ps3 version of this mine keeps freezeing and loseing sound.
