My Madden Franchise

So I just got finished with my first official season in my Madden Franchise with the Colts. I went 12-4 using the Madden IQ for every game. The four losses didnt come against the teams you would of thought. Heres a recap of my season.

Wk 1 I beat the Bears handily 27-12.

Wk 2 Was a loss to the Vikings 14-20 I guess I was still getting used to my IQ level and I also found out the the running game is non existent for me. Record (1-1)

Wk3 I lost to the Jags :(. by the same score as previous 14-20. At this point I'm seriously doubting my skills and wondering will I make the playoffs (1-2)

Wk4 Bye

Wk5 I beat the Texans 17-10 to improve to (2-2)

Wk6 I lost my 3rd game this time to the Ravens 14-17. (2-3)

Wk7 I blew out the Favreless Packers 14-0 (3-3)

Wk8 I beat the Titans 17-14, one of many close games to come. (4-3)

Wk9 The Patriots came to the Lube and took the Lube into its first overtime game. Money won it for us (irony). 17-14 (5-3)

Wk10 My second blow out and against the Steelers no less. A whopping 24-0. (6-3)

Wk11 My second overtime game against our divisional rival Texans. Colts win with Money again. 13-10. (7-3)

Wk12 Also went into overtime against the Chargers. Stupid Chargers. I was up 10-0 in the 4th quarter. They came back 10-10. I got the ball first in overtime and I turned it over :( The Chargers were in Vinatieri FG range but I guess not Kaeding. I thought it was over. Gary Brackett returned INT 70 YARDS to win in OT. 16-10. (8-3)

Wk13 I blew up the Browns 31-7. (9-3)

Wk14 Snoozefest. Win over Bengals 14-10 (10-3)

Wk15 I lost to the freakin Lions. Why? I dont know! 7-10. (10-4)

Wk16 I got revenge against the Jags. 29-0. Multiple picks. Epic game. (11-4)

Wk17 Was even better. Beating up on VY. Multiple sacks and picks. Keiaho had 2 ints, 1 for a TD. Hayden had one for a TD. Also a safety :D 26-0 blow out. (12-4)

I was the number 1 seed in the AFC and clinched my bye.

In the Divisional Playoff I played the Pittsburgh Steelers. I dominated pretty much the entire first half and ran out the clock in the second half. I won 14-3. Had a pick by Keiaho and a pick by Sanders.

In the AFC Championship Game I played non other than the New England Patriots. Go figure. It was a close game. A very close game. Played in the Lube with no weather effects the Pats drove down the field for a FG. On my first possession I converted on 4th and 1 TWICE to keep my drive alive. Drive ended in a TD to Tamme. Pats responded and drove down the field with a TD also. Halftime was 10-7 Pats. I received the ball at half fime and proceeded down the field and threw a TD to my main man Harrison. Rest of the game was clock grinding and one Patriot turnover. End result 14-10 Colts win. To the Superbowl I go.

 

This is all I got for now. Will post about Superbowl and my players. Also I made a few changes to the team. Will post later.

What do you mean by yo used your madden IQ?

I’ve played the demo, and am going to get the game soon, but how do you use your IQ?

options

it gives me the option of playing on rookie, pro, all pro, all madden or my IQ level.

you do some minigame stuff to test your skill level

in Pass O, Run O, Run D and Pass D then it sets the difficulty in that area by how well you did on that section.

I can't update my roster online.

Have never been online, and can’t seem to make it work now. Called Madden company about it, but I can’t get ahold of a real peson. Frustrating.

Have You Seen the WR Snap Glitch Online?

I just played someone who used it. I only lost 17-14. He was playing with none other than the New England Patriots. How ironic.

Explain.

I have no idea what that is.

by skywalker on Aug 24, 2008 6:10 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

The person does something on a specific play, and it snaps the ball directly to a wide receiver, guaranteeing five yards at least every play.
