After a long day of grinding in the weight room and running routes, I like to hop on my Xbox and play some Madden. I usually like to pick bad teams and rebuild them through franchise mode. Since they added in the custom draft classes it has been an even more realistic experience playing with guys that are currently in college (Man, I miss NCAA Football games). Anyways, recently I started a franchise with the New York Jets and cleaned house on the offensive side of the ball. I traded away Darnold and every decent receiver they had for draft picks. I simmed the first year and tanked to a solid 3-13 record and compiled 4 first round draft picks. I chose Kyler Murray first overall to be the savior of the franchise and added the likes of N’Keal Harry and Noah Fant to give my tiny Quarterback some large weapons. I’m a little over half-way through their rookie years and putting up some ridiculous video game numbers with Kyler. I like to run a spread offense when I play, so I can sling the ball around and pick up easy rushing yards with the QB. It’s too bad that EA did a poor job of implementing physics for the conventional run game because now I rarely pound the rock. Defensively, I like to play as the Middle Linebacker and try to take away the short routes over the middle.
