The one last thing I want to know is if they've fixed it at least a little in franchise where the cpu teams would make retarded roster moves leaving them with 5 QBs and 2 DTs. Better roster management on the computers part would be a welcome addition.

Dubs, here are the starter golds you can pick when you start MUT the 1st time. They're all 77-78 OVR golds.


Bears. Mcphee/A Jeffrey
Bengals. Aj green/g Atkins
Bills. Gilmore/S Watkins
Broncos. V Miller/ D Thomas
Brown's. Haden/Barnridge
Bucs. Evans/L David
Cards. Fitz/ Pat Pete
Chargers. K Allen/ J Verrett
Chiefs. E Berry/ J Charles
Colts. V Davis/ Luck
Cowboys. S Lee/ Dez
Dolphins. J Landry/ C Wake
Eagles. F Cox/ Z Ertz
Falcons. J Jones/ Trufant
49ers. Bowman/ Hyde
Giants. OBJ/ Vernon
Jags. A Robinson/ Amukamara
Jets. Revis/ B Marshall
Lions. Ansah/ Stafford
Pac. Matthews/ Rodgers
Panthers. Kuechly/ Newton
Pats. Brady/ Collins
Raiders. Mack/ Cooper
Rams. A Donald/ Gurley
Ravens. Flacco/ Suggs
Redskins. D Jackson/ J Norman
Saints. Brees/ C Jordan
Seahawks. Russell/ Sherman
Steelers. Hayward/ A Brown
Texans. D Hopkins/ Watt
Titans. D Murray/ J Casey
Vike's. A Peterson/ A Barr.

I'd get Odell, but I already get MUTrewards odell and he is 85 OVR and you can't use duplicate players in your lineup anymore. Maybe I'll do Revis and Marshal. Even 77 Marshal should be a pretty good run blocker at WR.

Also the UltimateMaster rewards Marcus Allen looks good too:

Like I said in discord yesterday, I think the "we fixed nanos" thing is more than just "all nanos are now impossible". It's more like they can easily update their nano buster or whatever you want to call it with new rules whenever a new nano is discovered, to neutralize that particular play.

BTW, take the Broncos as your starting team, cause that WR is one of the best run blockers in the game and even the shity Von is a decent pass rush guy.

i'm liking the changes i've heard so far about franchise. a friend of mine has been toying around with it and said that you still have weekly training, but once you get gold on a drill once, you can simulate from then on out and get a gold result, at least in that particular franchise. Which means no more grinding the same drills over and over every week when you're trying to simulate through seasons. And instead of worrying about that tedious training part with the players you want to git good, you just designate 3 players as focus players, and they will get boosts based on the same weekly training that you can simulate once you get gold. so in theory, you could after the first season or two, simulate an entire season fairly quickly with no punishment. which sounds awesome. i definitely want to see training results in action before i buy it though. i want to see your younger players with good potential traits noticeably going up in overall with your 3 focus players going up noticeably more, and a more logical attribute disparity between different players at the same position. that poo poo before with corners maxing out at like 84 overall and other positions with 30+ players above 90 was stupid. the accuracy of game simulation is another thing that's a potential deal breaker i still haven't heard anything about. the better team generally winning, the stats looking realistic, your players overall ratings having an impact on their statistical performance, your scheme having an impact on how your teams stats turn out, etc.

I really liked franchise with "create your own team" and using a 32 team fantasy draft.

I made my own team and designed my uniforms and stadium and poo poo. Replaced my created team in for my favorite NFL team, the Eagles, and must have played 4 or 5 seasons before the computer AI just went beserk and started cloning players on me. Randy Moss, Tom Brady and Charles Woodson wound up playing for like 2 or 3 different teams simultaneously.

It was cool though seeing Peyton Manning on the Cowboys, Vick in Seattle, Jerome Bettis in Miami and all the different nutty rosters. Planning for the draft in the offseason and grooming my picks over seasons was fun too. Eventually, though, if I remember right, the salary cap broke the game and I couldn't even field a roster. Other CPU teams couldn't either.

I finally gave up loving with it but I still remember the stalwarts on my roster (Ian Gold, McNabb, Ray Lewis, Steve Smith, Jeremy Shockey, Kellen Winslow Jr, Champ Bailey) and even a few rookies I developed into stars. Sometimes I reminisce thinking that perennial all pro DT "Doyle Lynch" was an actual player.

They don't actually, in fact one of the main gameplay designs is an Ex-Skin and there are a lot of Skins fans on the team at some pretty high levels.

If they add a mode like what NBA 2K17 is putting in their game, I'd buy that Madden iteration first day. But No Fun League, etc etc.

I still have Madden 11 because I think it's the last time it gave you some sort of customization over the league in Franchise mode.
