Gaming
In reply to the discussion: What are you currently playing? [View all]I started over on both games because I was sick of the 99 players so I looked for new rosters found a good one in Volsfan14 (would have to double check for accurate gamer ID). The rosters are close enough to real life but not perfect but makes for a better more challenging game. So far I haven't won a national championship or Super Bowl and I'm going on the year 2020 from 2013. On Madden my QB is Cyler Miles (who took nick Montana's job at Washington), Deanthony Thomas as my starting RB. I had Devonta Freeman as a backup for a season than the following year after that I had Derrick Henry who I traded than the season after that Ezekiel Elliot was my backup running back (the thing about drafter nCAA 14 players into Madden 25 is running backs are pretty much never drafted in the first round and I got most of these running backs in the 4th or 5th round and Devonta Freeman was actually a free agent that I developed into a respectable starter). Pretty much anyone can turn out to be a good player as long as you develop them.
I did 6 seasons at Arizona State and after my starting QB was drafted #1 overall and my backup QB drafted #2 overall I went to northern Illinois because I like their uniforms plus I want to build something there. Usually I start out as a 1 star coordinator and work my way up but I started over from 2013 a few times due to bad rosters but this current version is the best I've had. I stopped doing that relegation thing and I just stuck all the members in their current 2017 conferences and left them there. It works better seeing teams building in their own conferences. Teams like Army, navy, and Air Force always turn out good for some reason. #3 Army beat Stanford 32-28 in the 2019 Rose Bowl for example.
On edit -- my Madden receivers are Jaron Brown, Timmons (the nCAA leading receiver in my game for pass happy Kentucky -- I think he was a fictional prospect), Odell Beckham (for a couple seasons I also had Stefon Diggs).
