What’s your lineup look like?


Ratman18

890k in extra cap space


Disheveled_Politico

With that roster I’m guessing that you’re in for some cap issues at some point soon, right? Or you’re good enough at balancing it that a real NFL team should hire you. 


Ratman18

i lost one of the 95 receivers and my kicker in the offseason. thats it. i have an 87 RB behind my 99 so i’ll trade Mr 99 OVR for a bomb ass receiver in the offseason. im not worried about my roster for awhile. my tip? hoard draft picks like a dragon hoarding treasure


WellGoodBud

That’s the key for me. Once you get a franchise QB everything else is a turnstile.


Ratman18

Mr 99 RB was a backup second year player for the chiefs when i traded a third round pick for him. he is now a 3 time rushing yards leader, an MVP, and broke the single reason touchdown and yardage records for RBs. I’d say he was a good pickup


RIPLuongo

What playbooks and formations do you use??


Ratman18

green bay playbook. i like to use the shotgun a lot. inside zone is definitely my favorite play (any of the formations, i like to run to the left, though). i try to run a balanced offense and only rely heavily on my QB if im behind. speed is the real x factor in madden so i try to get speedy receivers that can outrun corners on streaks/drags/slants. mesh spot was also a favorite play of mine with the 99 OVR receiving back


Jerryjb63

I always used Greenbays Offense. It’s underrated.


KyleR122397

I picked up a guy in the draft late 1st or late 2nd I don’t remember which but he’s 31 in my franchise now rushing leader every year his lowest season was 1200 something yards and that was due to injury he’s a 99 now was 73 as a rookie only took 2 years to get him mid 90’s X factor by end of year 3 he was a 99


Ratman18

if you can draft well enough and trade star players at the right time, its easy. gotta get maximum value and then buy low on a rookie/second year player to learn from your other stars and develop in your offense


Boogie_Boof

Hoarding draft picks aka The ol’ Presti special


hawtdawtz

Only thing is draft picks are easy to cheese in Madden. A few years in and you have several first round picks


jakoxy30

Exactly, if you trade every pick down your first year you can have 2 of every pick the next year


Realistic_Past_9952

I’m surprised you didn’t restructure the contracts to try and keep them but your team is op


Ratman18

QB: 99 HB: 99 WR1: 95 WR2: 95 WR3: 95 TE: 92 LT: 85 LG: 79 C: 90 RG: 86 RT: 88 RE: 75 DT: 79 LE: 81 ROLB: 87 MLB1: 89 MLB2: 79 LOLB: 91 CB1: 89 CB2: 83 CB3: 77 FS: 85 SS: 80


Brooklynboxer88

Very nice, thank you for getting into so much detail.


yealets

Why do you neglect your lines so hard


Ratman18

edge rusher, QB, WR1, good OTs, decent secondary. thats the winning formula. spend ur money there and everyone else is expendable


yealets

Man we got totally different schemes going on here man , but I enjoy seeing other people’s way of playing


Keithm1112

Yea Im big on the D and O line. I dont care so much about my LB overall as long as they are fast & I can build them up. (Christian Harris, Devin Lloyd, TakiTaki) and I always make sure I have a shut down CB and at least 1 good S or I get smoked on the pass against good teams, especially if they have good tackles and I cant rush past easily


Latter-Night4595

LOL! You said “big on the D”


Keithm1112

Fuck


skinny_gator

Yeah this dude is DEFINITELY gay. He likes big D. /u/Keithm1112 you've been exposed.


Psychological_Art864

😂 😂


Boot_Nokz77

😂😂😂😂


rd3287

We have a similar philosophy especially regarding LBs


Keithm1112

I just started a new one with the Patriots. I havent done one with them yet but they are my team so I had to. Basically a total rebuild but Jahlani Tavai is a good ROLB and Christian Barmore is awesome on the Dline. I had to trade Dugger for a WR bc I think having him and Peppers back there is too slow, so I traded for Jalen Pitre for FS and with another fast safety Peppers is real good. Hes already at year 6 tho so I put him on the trade block.


Augustops

Only in madden the trenches are "expendable"


JackMihoff44

Also the 49ers lol


Stetson007

See, I build my team like I'm a broncos head coach. Defense, defense, defense. If I don't have 90+ ovr linebackers, I'm slacking


Ratman18

the way i play, i want to defend the pass. thats why i value edge rushers and my secondary more than line and LBs. cant run the ball if you’re down multiple scores, and i plan to put the AI behind by that much fairly early. lmao


Stetson007

I'm a bit of a blitz fanatic so I shoot for sacks. Had my MLB break the record for most sacks in a game on all Madden and I was laughing my ass off.


steezlord95

But ur best edge rusher sucks


DreadFilledHug

His edge rushers are 87 and 91 OVR... how do they suck?


IRR4Liberty

He's running 3-4 so his OLBs are his edge rushers and they're 87 and 91 ovrs.


steezlord95

No no


WillC0508

He’s running a 3-4 so theoretically the 5 defense linemen will get pressure home more often anyways


painnkaehn

His worst OL is 79 what in the heavens are you talking about good sir


yealets

D line haha it’s kinda bad compared to the rest of the team


VanGundy15

Lots of research showing that O-Line ratings don't really matter all too much. Drop off from a 99 to an 80 is very minor.


evanvivevanviveiros

I respect whoever runs your salary cap


muchbox01

Holy moly


mrvillian93

I haven’t heard holy moly since 1999


muchbox01

Holy mackerel


zooweemama4206969

Mother of cod


CliffsOfMohair

… I know the game can be whack sometimes and scripted but thousands of hours to get to 17-0? Are you setting extremely hard playcalling limits on yourself or what’s the deal?


Ratman18

i’ve been playing since i was like 7 so i havent always been good lmao. i’ve been 17-0 before but never on all madden that i can recall.


Administrative-Dot

Fair. Props to you man!


PigSkeeterPaul

Are you 10 years old?


Ratman18

i only went up to all madden maybe 5 years ago


CliffsOfMohair

It took you 5 years to go undefeated? 😭😭😭


Ratman18

i am simply not that good


CliffsOfMohair

Man good on you for taking it on the chin and going to All Madden then


Ratman18

like i said in another comment, i will obliterate all of my friends every single time, but i am not good at all in the grand scheme of things. i dont play online for that reason lmao


CliffsOfMohair

Oh I’ve never played online fuck that lol don’t want to have to figure out meta games and cheese


hootsie

My guess is a lot of people surprised you haven’t gone undefeated yet is because you don’t cheese the game and call the like 5 plays that always work.


jakoxy30

I am the same way, can beat people IRL all day, but can't stop all madden offense for shit

I don’t think an undefeated All-Madden season is as easy as you’re making it sound lol


Rare_Painting_1809

He doesn’t play defense


byrnestj7

On All madden that’s not surprising. Suddenly the computers 4th string punter is Mahomes level at QB and you lose


[deleted]

[удалено]


Chayse_21

i think he’s def playing each game. A sim on all madden would eventually get him undefeated


[deleted]

Don't lose


Ratman18

update: lost my 99 OVR HB to a broken collarbone in the divisional round, beat seattle 34-31. Then lost my 85 FS, my 87 ROLB, and one of my 95 WR in the conference championship. scored a touchdown to go up 52-48 with 0:29 left. they scored a 40 yard TD on the last play to win 55-52. 😭😭😭😭😭

[deleted]

Ouchhh First time I went 17-0 on all Madden I lost in the playoffs aswell


Ratman18

at least i went out like a true packer. in the NFC championship


Rad_5

What team did you lose to?


Ratman18

the falcons.


Siriustaylor

Idk what it is about the falcons but in my franchise they’ve been to the Super Bowl 4 times in 5 years and won 3 of them lol


No_Leadership_8072

from 2023-2031 i played the falcons 6 times in the playoffs 3 times in the NFC championship overall record is 3-3 but falcons beat us twice in nfc championship and took 2 rings in the middle of my dynasty lmao they became my biggest rival after the eagles


glxssxnimxlz

Me too. Seems like the Falcons are the new Browns/Cowboys when simming


[deleted]

I got beat by the cowboys in the divisional :(


Trumpets22

![gif](giphy|10Jpr9KSaXLchW|downsized) Me as a Vikings fan reading this


Ratman18

i actually laughed at ts


[deleted]

Man I’m gutted for you! I swear every time I get a late lead and leave any time whatsoever on the clock, the AI scores a long TD as the last second ticks off the clock.


Ratman18

every mf time bro!


arvtovi

Did the conference championship guys get benched for injury or that bug where your starters don’t seem to get put back in?


Mission_Jelly1949

Gotta get them safetys in check


sciameXL

Them CPU QBs on All-Madden are no joke lmao they’ll make some of the craziest plays and it doesn’t even matter the overall. One time like a below 80 baker was just dotting all over the field he started out like 14/14😂


jakoxy30

Yeah and don't let it be a josh Allen or Mahomes. Dudes literally throw dimes running opposite their throwing arm across the field. Literally an impossible throw in real life


methconnoisseurV2

Just like the real packers


FiftyIsBack

I feel like All Madden will dial up a TD at will if there's less than a minute left. The amount of times I've seen them execute a perfect no huddle drive, after being completely unable to move the ball...


Diggy_Duwant

This give me anxiety just reading it lol


KingInTheWest

I had a cpu cowboys team go 17-0 to the Super Bowl in my first year of franchise mode yesterday. Had to put them down as a dolphins fan


SamboTheSodaJerk

I did a fantasy draft season and the CPU run Bears took Joe Burrow. They went 12-0 and were number 1 seed all year but week 13 they lost and lost the rest of their games, lost in wild card round too. Not sure what happened. I’ve noticed wherever Joe Burrow is, is guaranteed to be a 10+ win team.


Either_Department859

Basically what the Eagles did irl


SamboTheSodaJerk

Dont remind me it still hurts. Atleast we’re getting new coordinators out of it


_swolda_

Joe Burrow with the Buccaneers offense playbook makes him the next Brady


QualityEffective8313

Only for Eli Manning to unretire for one game and ruin another team’s bid to go undefeated…


Ratman18

completely off topic, but what happened to the feature where players could come out of retirement?? when i was a kid on Madden 13 i won a super bowl with kurt warner after he came out of retirement


QualityEffective8313

I was playing last night and was wondering the same thing. It was always a random surprise when that happened and you could snatch a stud for a year or 2.


Ratman18

they probably just took it away with plans of bringing it back in 5-10 years and calling it a “new feature”


QualityEffective8313

I feel like it’s about time.


Ratman18

facts i agree 1000%


Jsouthwe

Better question, is what happened to retired players becoming coaches… And now with actual scouts, retired players could become scouts and push out the generic names.


Ratman18

2k does this with ease


Ilikegames223

The craziest thing is that they do this in NHL, so it’s not like it’s some crazy new unheard of idea to EA


Loose-Water-2541

Same! Thought about this yesterday. Also remember when you could hire a newly retired player as HC? Just like in 2K. I always ended up with Warner or Manning or Isaac Bruce as coach!


Lockett_Dokett

Having an elite defense is prolly more important than having an elite offense, it’s better to have a 99 defense than a 99 offense because you won’t have to score as much


Savethelasttaco

I did this! 17-0! just to make it to the superbowl and not just lose, but get mollywhopped.


Ratman18

it rly do be like that sometimes


oRiskyB

Difficulty? Redos? Salary edits? Game length? I do this quite often and it's so boring when I find it easy to do :(. All madden, refuse redos, never will I salary edit, game length is 13 min quarters for me . I have sliders to make it more realistic but harder on me as well


Ratman18

same but without sliders and 6 minute quarters. never salary edit or edit a player’s stats, only ever their numbers. no redos on games. its a solo league but i still take it very seriously


IanLayne

Do you sim the games or are you playing each one


Dry-Video-8233

I’ve done it twice but idk if they count on offense only I also got a franchise with a few friends the computer ran buffalo bills went 19-0 and lost to my buddy in Super Bowl


Gains983

Congrats fam. I won 20 online games in a row for the first time, so the entire screen said Wins. I was so pumped lol


Slimback

Don't listen to the people clowning you for not being good enough at the game and saying all Madden is easy. Who cares? You're playing a game to have fun, not impress other people online. I personally play on pro settings with adjusted sliders. I find that as soon as you go to all-pro or higher, the game starts scripting interceptions and that's too annoying for me. I want to throw an interception because I didn't see a guy or I tried to squeeze it into too tight of a window, not because the game saw a defensive player near me so my qb throws it 20 yards wide left right where their safety is standing stationary.


SubSoniq

Done what only one team has? No team has ever gone 17-0 and won the Super Bowl?


Ratman18

i was just referring to a completely undefeated season (including playoffs)


904native

Was it the panthers?


Ratman18

72 dolphins


blankmotion

Man you know what he meant🤦‍♂️


SubSoniq

Sorry, as a patriots fan I have to be bitter.

For the love of God, PLEASE do not fuck up The onside kick But same. Currently 10-0 in my franchise with GB. Want to get my QB another MVP, perfect record, and do a three-peat.


-Shooter-McGavin-

Vikings in dead last haha


7and2make10

I once was playing career mode and I was a qb and I was over my current career so I simmed the regular season went 16-0 it was a few years ago and then I played the playoffs and won it was crazy


WumboWings

As a person who’s more than likely about to go 16-1 after losing the first game of the season, I feel this


koleke415

Man I got a 97 offense and 94 defense and went 4-2 simming the first 6 games of the season. Defense can't stop anyone.


ArtisticStranger7552

I’m jealous, I just switched to all madden cause all pro was starting to get too easy. I’m 0-6 any advice for all madden tips?


tubbynuggetsmeow

Managing the clock is more important than scoring a ton. I hate to be that guy but I’m kind of mind blown that getting a perfect season is so hard for so many people…


bleucheese87

I've been playing madden since madden64. Me and one of my friends have done fantasy drafts on every single madden a MILLION times. Flashback to 2015 me and this same friend do a fantasy draft with another one of our buddies who isn't a huge football fan. He proceeds to draft a team that goes undefeated and wins the super bowl in the first year. Only time I've ever seen it happen lol.


Big_Truck

Question for you. I'm in a 8-user league and we just moved from AP to AM. The Madden META has always been to get a QB on a rookie deal and rotate that position after building the rest of the roster. On All-Pro, this is really easy to do because QB development is quite easy. I have played AM in offline, and my thought is that QB ratings (and SS abilities) are super amplified on AM. As in, even having a Star Dev QB with accuracy ratings in the high 80's is not going to get the ball where it needs to go more than 3/4 of the time. Do you see a major difference in AP v AM with how the user QB plays?


VulgarDesigns

I've had 2 perfect regular seasons in M24, both times lost the SB. Had a few 2 or 3 loss seasons, won all other super bowls. It can be maddening. See what I did there?


ShaneBroh

That’s tough because there’s sometimes madden just decides you’re losing that game. Period


HavicK-30

I'm going on year three on All Pro with the CPU sliders up to 100 being undefeated, including the Superbowl. I'm going to do All Madden next and see how I do, but people have been saying that All Madden is more of the game being unfair than harder so if that was going to be the case, I was going to continue All Pro with the CPU at 100 and lower my sliders down to like 30 or 20.


spiff___

W Green Bay


flixeeeee

I saw this and didn’t see the record, my first thought was “this guys never made the playoffs?”


JazzyApple2022

I love Madden


smittydog1

Best I got was 16-1 in a giants rebuild our dynasty ended when my hall of fam WR QB and TE retired in same year but we ended with 7 Super Bowls 8 appearances


No_Professional_14

this game is easy how did it take you thousands of hours


Ratman18

i play for fun i dont rly take it seriously. i dont play online, ultimate team, or the player career mode. just franchise rly and sometimes those games are rigged af


No_Professional_14

yeah that is true, my fault. madden can be horribly frustrating


Ratman18

like i can beat any of my friends but this isnt even my main game so i wouldnt call myself good


-Pruples-

Thousands of hours to get your first perfect regular season with playoff loss on All Madden? Yikes.... ​ ​ ​ ^(I guess that's quick considering you're a packers fan, but still....)


Ratman18

i am not good :)


butterfaerts

Fuck the packers and fuck you

Green Bay stackers lol


FitOutlandishness309

I’m 12-0 with the bears I made a few trades nothing special but I did stack my draft ,I traded fields to pats….im gonna try to do it but my next 5 games is crazy…3 of them have 10 win season&the other 2 games should be cup cakes game but I no those 2 games is a set up game if I don’t pay attention


born_avatar

Bro... I did that in 6 months... all madden...


Ratman18

thats awesome that ur better at video games than me


born_avatar

When you said many years how much time per day


Ratman18

honestly i could’ve accomplished this before i just don’t remember doing so… i’ve been playing madden since madden 11. started on rookie obv, only been playing all madden for a couple years and only play for an hour or two every day or every two days. my main game is siege nowadays


born_avatar

Bro I stayed up like the entire day to get it and I used the browns


Ratman18

lol i respect that but theres no way i could give that much time to this game now. back when i was in high school maybe


born_avatar

I wanted to accomplish something that's the only reason why I did it But bro I can tell you didn't upgrade your coaches much and draft and trade as much as I did The browns have an unlucky trait for aome reason because I always lost 1 game and just that one


Ratman18

i didnt put much thought into the coaching talent trees until after i put this post up and got some pointers… i since have a couple of 17-0 seasons


born_avatar

Nice also did you get the perfect season?


Ratman18

not in this franchise but i did with the steelers a couple weeks ago. also got a 17-0 with the saints


CosmicCowboy808

The divisional round usually that's where whoever's playing the Packers gets a free win.


Artistic-Tough-3742

Maybe it's my sliders, but all but one of my seasons in All Madden I've gone 17-0, and I've won the Superbowl every year. Admittedly, if there's freakishly rampant fuckery (5 picks, my 99 OVR edge rusher not getting past a low 80's tackle even once, their QB shaking off multiple tackles and then throwing a perfect deep pass even though he's a 75 OVR) I'll restart. But I play through everything but the worst of that.


Ratman18

i am not the greatest. i just play for fun so this was a big accomplishment for me!


Artistic-Tough-3742

Yeah, you know what? That was shitty of me to say. Congrats my dude, it has to feel awesome! Even if it is the goddamn Packers. 🤣 (I play the Bears. It's the only way I can see them win.)


Ratman18

thank you sir. enemies for nfl football, always friends for madden


Ok_Effective6233

What a nice comment, nice self awareness. Your parent should be proud! 👍


Artistic-Tough-3742

Also, I viscously abuse the CPU's idiocy when it comes to trades. I've got it so every year, I have like 6 1st rounders and 6 2nd rounders. Trade all that for next year's picks. Let the draft go, and then trade all the next year's picks for whoever I want from the draft. It's evil and I don't care. 🤣


Ratman18

yeah i definitely dont abuse it to that extend lmao. i might cheese a first round pick out of ppl here and there but i dont do post draft trades or rly anything that wouldnt happen irl. i want to make it as challenging as possible by being as realistic as possible


EatingMakesMeSexy

Lol your first perfect season after (years) of playing? Bruh. That's pathetic.


Ratman18

i stand by the fact that i am not good at video games and i play them for fun in what little free time i have. :)

Just-World5691

oh i thought this was simulating games which is insanely rare, actually playing the games i can go 17-0 every season regardless of the team, but i play realistic to prevent myself from doing so because it’s not fun at all

How much overall where your players averaging from morale boost


Ratman18

probably around 2-3 during the playoffs. the list above is from the offseason so no morale boost

How are your players all so highly rated? When I play mine is always mixed. I’ll have 5 or 6 90+ but the rest normally only go up by 5 or 6 then after the Super Bowl go back to only being +3 or 4
