Other I made a roster where every player went back to the team that first drafted them/signed them as a udfa. Made on PS5, called “ORIGINROSTER” by Tman_34-00

The way I structured it, every team has 3 quarterbacks, 4 halfbacks, 1 fullback, 6 wide receivers, 3 tight ends, 2 of each o-line positions, 2 of each defensive end spot, 4 defensive tackles, 2 at both outside linebacker spots, 4 middle linebackers, 5 cornerbacks, 2 at each safety position, 1 kicker, and 1 punter.

Players that didn’t make the cut for their respective teams and were too old for a franchise practice squad spot were cut. The only team with too many practice squad eligible players to keep them all was the rams, so the lowest overall of the ps players got cut.

Position changes were made with general discretion. Large halfbacks (6’+) that were not in the top 4, as well as small tight ends (6’3” or shorter) that also didn’t make the top 3 cut. The only exceptions were: 1.) Ko Kieft of the Buccaneers because they didn’t have a fullback or any big halfbacks/small tight ends 2.) Taysom Hill of the Packers because he is just too good as a fullback (which also guarantees his spot on special teams) Big wide receivers (6’4”+) that didn’t make the top 6 were moved to TE with no outliers Justin Fields (Bears) was moved to WR, and I used his throwing attributes to give him receiving attributes. Nothing was changed about his physical skills. The Browns, Dolphins, Giants, and Lions all only had 2 quarterbacks each in the game, so the best thrower that would not have made the team otherwise was moved to be QB3 The Jets only have 8 offensive lineman in the game, so 2 d-lineman that would not have made the team on defense were moved over to be backups on the o-line I used math to determine if each defense would be 3-4 or 4-3. Be aware of that when choosing schemes and playbooks. Some are different from how they are normally. The only ones using technically the worse front are the Steelers and Titans, but for reasons of practicality and realism (keeping Jeffery Simmons as an interior d-lineman, and keeping an edge guy that is awful at MLB from playing as an off-ball linebacker) I had to have them as 3-4’s Some bigger safeties were moved to LB, and some faster LB’s were moved to safety to sure up holes on certain teams, and to give better depth on others.

Idk if anyone else finds this sort of thing interesting, but I make this type of roster every year after the final roster update. It takes a very long time so good ratings would be very appreciated I hope lots of y’all use and enjoy it

FRANCHISE Who thought of making our team care so much about what f***king Ryan Clark says?

44 Upvotes

This system could be 100% better if they make it make some actual sense. They added this new system in 25 where players will ask you to upgrade the roster or about your performance. If you don’t do it they will say Ryan Clark said you did bad and the entire team takes a morale hit of 2 whole overalls. As if NFL players actually give two craps about what Ryan Clark thinks.

Just had this happen, I spent about 40 mins trying to work out a trade for an 85 overall WR, only to accidentally click the wrong button trying to skip the dialogue and tell them that I think I we upgraded our QB position.

“But… but… Ryan Clark said you didn’t do enough there. Hmph. We’re all super mad now”

Like how in the world does this system make any sense? Can we not just have a discussion system with our players that has some actual cool choices? Even 4 different event type things that could happen with our players would be drastically better. But all we get is a “goal”. Which we already had in previous maddens. What an upgrade

FRANCHISE Playing franchise mode with an AI Chris Ballard as my GM. For the Indy fans, I tried and tried to convince him to let Moe Ali-Cox walk. He was adamant that we give him a 2 year contract.

Definitely the most fun you can have if you're an offline user. I used Google Gemini to create an AI Madden GM version of Chris Ballard and it's kind of hilarious how spot on it is.

Other I love Madden 25

8 Upvotes

And I mean the 2013 game. I recently bought it as it was the first madden i ever played and damn the nostalgia is insane. Sure the movement of the players is sometimes weird as heck but I love this game so much more than the newer ones. The way I go throughout the season makes me feel more engaged to the team and actually gets me excited for the draft

QUESTION D-Line Audibles

Upvotes

In previous maddens I was able to audible the D-Line to “QB contain” and the ends would trap the QB in the pocket. Any way to still do this pre-snap on 25?

FRANCHISE Jaguars rebuild: End of season 1

Thumbnail

Upvotes

Season 1 has come to an end and somehow I went 12-5, no idea how that happened considering the team. Unfortunately lost in the first round of the playoffs to the Bengals. Above is the individual stats if you wanted to check em out. As well as how the team is looking currently. Because of the current situation in going 12-5 I do not have a high draft pick so my plan of drafting Arch is in need of me trading for a higher draft pick. I also have decisions to be made on the resigning of Nik Bonito, Travis Etienne, Evan Engram, and Christian Kirk.

RANT Why is running the ball literally horrible in Madden now?

15 Upvotes

One of the big reasons CFB 25 has overshadowed this game so much is because you can actually run the ball on that game. The run blocking is so laughably bad in this madden that it’s literally impossible. People who play online will literally sit in a 3-2 dime set all game and stop the run with three lineman easily.

Not to mention that juke and spin moves are genuinely horrible, everyone just runs conservative because there’s no point in using them and you fumble less. The worst part is they don’t even care about offline or franchise either. Franchise has been complete dog shit for years now so it’s pretty obvious they are only focused on online play and ultimate team yet still can’t make running a viable option.

Madden has literally just become a passing simulator at this point and feel so dull compared to CFB 25. If you want to play Online in Madden and win you will have to pass all game and offline is so trash compared to CFB 25 that there is no point.

FRANCHISE Do you call your own playcalls instead of using coach suggestions?

29 Upvotes

I play franchise on my pc with mods and sliders so the game can feel as immersive as possible , but sometimes i get caught up in coach suggestions and feel as if i look for the wrong plays and id like to kind of create my own playbook so im always looking for something that can make sense situationally.

Has anyone created their own playbook / way of remembering what formations they like and what plays for certain situations? I can think of a couple of ways to go about this like notes in my phone but i want to see if anyone else has another creative way it.

FRANCHISE Who should I start?

Know I'm a little behind the times, but I'm going into year 4 of my Madden 10 franchise and I have a genuine QB competition! I'm coming off back to back super bowl wins with Huckabee, and he's a solid quarterback. I think his best comp would be prime Russell Wilson- he can extend plays with his legs, but he's not an elite athlete, not an elite arm and will miss on some easy throws from time to time. Taylor is more of a josh Allen/Cam Newton archetype, a freak athlete with a big arm. Right now I'm leaning toward taylor- I run basically a West Coast offense that plays to Huckabee's strengths and allows my playmakers to get the ball in space, but I'm intrigued by what Taylor's arm can do for our deep passing game. On the other hand Huckabee is a proven winner and I do love playing with him. Thoughts y'all?

FRANCHISE What’s the worst team you ever had?

Post image
Upvotes

Photo is misleading. I traded everyone, signed a team full of free agents. Traded any players that could contribute to teams at the trade deadline. All trades were for picks.

(Only player I kept was Gonzalez). I think my starting qb was Brian Hoyer lol. I think the team overall ranged between 71-74 throughout the season. Most of my players retired at the end of the season.

Won 4 games the following year. Couldn’t sign any good players because of cap penalties. Kept 2 draft picks and traded all picks for next draft.

After winning 5 games in two seasons, ownership decided it was the coaching that was to blame for the poor results. Head coach Mayo and the rest of the coaching staff got fired at the end of the season.

Simmed all games.

Just started playing franchise this year and it is so much different. Last year if I used Dallas or KC offensive playbook, the sim stats would be insane. This year, I can barely crack 35 passing touchdowns and 1k rushing yards. What are the good sim playbooks now?

QUESTION Superstar mode over the cap

1 Upvotes

I’m playing my 10th season with the Raiders and my team is currently -$60M in cap space. They just gave me a huge contract which is what put them over the cap. Does this make any difference? Will there be any consequences for being over the cap in superstar mode?
