Welcome to my the newest series to hit my blog. This is a Madden 18 Franchise Mode series, mostly inspired by YouTuber Beardmohbox(whose channel you can find here). I'm calling it The Rebuild, and here's how it works.
The Rebuild- Summary and Rules
- The team chosen for this series will be the Indianapolis Colts. This isn't really a personal choice; they simply have the best set up for what I want to run.
- To start off The Rebuild, I will be trading away or releasing almost the entire team, and creating a completely different identity for the Colts. There are three exceptions to this rule: all rookies will stay, as will any player under 75 overall. I will also be keeping Adam Vinatieri, as he's a legend of the team and should stay.
- I will be using rosters from Week 1 of the season. The reason for this is to create an even playing field for all 32 teams, making sure that this season's results don't help or hinder any team in any way.
- I will be playing on All-Madden for the entirety of this series, and I also have my own personal slider set that I will be using and tweaking as time goes on. If you don't know what this means, don't worry; it won't be brought up again.
- There will be a one year ban on all of the players on the starting roster, during which I cannot pick any of them up. Once the first offseason begins, all bets are off.
- All the players I acquire in the first season must be free agents or signed off of opposing team's practice squads. In other words, no trades to acquire players.
- I've in preseason, with pre-existing injuries and general injuries turned off, to help me move as many players as possible. I won't be playing preseason games; this starting point is only to help me in trading guys away.
- I may only trade players for draft picks.
I think that's all for now. If I forgot anything, I'll mention in it in a future post. Below are two links to Google Doc pages. The first is every trade I made, shaping the roster in preseason. The second is a look at the roster I have left over.
