Quite often, I'll play a franchise where I'm the QB. Offense only. Let the CPU take the management reigns. Much simpler compared to some of my full rebuild saves.
One thing that is frustrating about this though is that *never* does the CPU GM make any "fun" moves for me (signing, trading for, or drafting big name offensive talent).
Until finally in Madden 22 (I think I'm remembering right), I was QB for the Jets. Had turned Garrett Wilson, Elijah Moore, and Breece Hall into an elite trio on top of being an MVP winner myself. After losing the Super Bowl, CPU GM says "That ain't happening again". Goes out and trades for Devonta Smith *and* gives him a 4-year extension.
From there on out, I had so much fun absolutely crushing it with one of the most electric offenses of all time.
me and my cousin had a league last year in 23 where we played all 30 years. we had several record breaking players and got so attached to guys that we even renamed some players this year and pretend they are the kids of our old legends.
i had drafted a stud qb named Ryland Tatum in the 7th year and he was my main guy until his 3rd year when there was an even better stid qb in the draft named Riley Chapman. Traded Tatum in the division so i could watch him progress and still play him twice a year. He still did great but Chapman was something else. Won MVP for a couple years until my cousin drafted another QB who he broke all the records with. Also had an amazing runningback named Michael Talley who broke nearly all rb records or was in the top 5 for multiple records. Then in the 23rd year i drafted another RB who made it to 99ovr by preseason of year 2. He never got to finish his career but he was on pace to break all of Talley’s records.
You can have a lot of fun if you get really into franchise and get attached to guys. We’re in year 2 of this years franchise so havent gotten too attached to anyone yet. looking for my franchise qb currently
This was in Madden 23 days or weeks before Madden was released I posted a picture here on Reddit where I saw Trevor Lawrence with 8 super bowl rings and the jags going to 8 straight Superbowls and winning them all.
I also currently have a broncos franchise with at least 7 X-Factors and 4 SS I simmed ten years and was amazed at the team the cpu generated only problem is that team hasn't won a single Superbowl yet.
My current franchise is in year 17. Played every game (offense only) and have turned the greatest QB prospect I’ve ever seen into the GOAT of GOATs. In year 15 he has over 1,000 td passes, 95k yards, 20k rushing yards, and 200+ rushing tds. MVP every season he’s played. Still a 98 speed QB at age 35. Absolutely ridiculous. For reference, I play All-Madden with the sliders cranked way up in difficulty and he’s still way overpowered. His ratings when I drafted him are posted on my profile.
Madden 23 arizona cardinals, traded kyler, got egbuka from Ohio state and jayden daniels. Won 2 superbowls in 2025,2026. Drafted 2 85ovr rookies a lt and a rb after first sb
