103 TD 77 INT in three years? alright there Brett Favre.
Won another superbowl last season with a QB I picked up off Free Agency, he also came out of nowhere to sweep the MVP award despite being 4th in the running behind 2 other QBs and my RB Austin Ray, who finished the season with 1900 all purpose yards and 13 TDs.
Started 4-0 with two good wins over Nawlins (27-10) and Tampa (30-13) and two game winning field goals as time expired to hold off the Texans 17-15 and the Bengals 41-38, still got a killer D and the second best run game in the league but if Ray goes down for an extended period then I'm gonna need to be winning games 9-6 again

Is that yer first SB post-Marks? #dec
Absolutely shocking Super Bowl hangover in my fourth season. 4-2 atm but it seems like every team I come against has picked up some superstar in last year's draft so it's a struggle. For instance, I've stopped the Giants (2-14 last ssn) on three series yet they've still just tied the game as their QB is having a worldie in the fourth.
Carr thrown nearly 2,000 yards already but a ridiculous 15 interceptions as well. No idea what's going on rn.

Aye, after losing the AFC Championship game twice in a row immediately after he left (both times to the eventual SB champ Dolphins), had one season where I finished 8-8 and missed the playoffs and then cut my starting QB, picked an experienced vet off FA and went 11-5 and won another Super Bowl. Somehow.
After my entire offense retired in one go a few years ago, it's now my entire defense's turn pretty soon. My 99 rated FS (and overall best player) is in his 10th year, my 93 rated MLB is in his 11th and my star OLB and DT (both 95) are in their 12th. Also losing my 92 RT and my current leading pass rusher to free agency this year so once that all goes down I'll be left with 2 players over 90.

Second season (fourth overall) at Philly finished, second Super Bowl with a regular season record of 16-0, making my overall record for them 31-1 in regular season, 6-0 in the playoffs. For me, it was easily my best season. 57 TDs to 29 INTs for 4,686 yards and a QBR of 104.5 with 526 yards from 78 rushes. However the playoffs are still a big problem, with a 2TD game in the divisional round, a 2TD 3INT game in the conference and a 2INT game in the Super Bowl. McCoy dominated, he was a beast all season. Led the league in rushing yards with 1750 from 338 carries, getting 7TDs. Insanely good. Got 68 receptions for 528 yards also which means 2278 all purpose yards. He recorded 37 carries in the divisional round for 189 yards, 33 for 183 yards in the conference game and 22 for 124 yards in the Super Bowl for a TD, earning him Super Bowl MVP. Another standout was Zach Ertz who received 95 passes for 1,255 yards and 13TD. A regen called Rommell Reeves received 45 for 570 yards and 10TD. Jeremy Maclin received 80 for 826 yards and 9TD while Jordan Matthews received 43 for 501 yards and 8TD. Broke the TD in a game record with 8 in the opening game of the season but my TDs tried out towards the end of the season as I let McCoy boost his stats up. Week 1: Broncos 21 @ Eagles 70 Week 2: Cardinals 48 @ Eagles 52 Week 3: Redskins 20 @ Eagles 33 Week 4: Bye Week 5: Eagles 49 @ Seahawks 7 Week 6: Beats 0 @ Eagles (Brooklyn Beats are the Rams having relocated) Week 7: Chiefs 13 @ Eagles 24 Week 8: Giants 10 @ Eagles 38 Week 9: Cowboys 17 @ Eagles 48 Week 10: Eagles 25 @ Vikings 19 Week 11: Eagles 44 @ Chargers 38 Week 12: Eagles 24 @ Cowboys 14 Week 13: Eagles 32 @ Giants 26 Week 14: Saints 21 @ Eagles 27 Week 15: Eagles 45 @ Raiders 0 Week 16: Eagles 31 @ 49ers 21 Week 17: Eagles 24 @ Redskins 0
Divisional playoff: Cowboys 7 @ Eagles 35 Conference playoff: Saints 14 @ Eagles 35 Super Bowl LII: Chiefs 10 @ Eagles 20
All in all we scored 601 points during the season, the next was Green Bay with 447. We had the 7th best defense with 275 points allowed. Great season overall.

Yep, I do player ones because I can't defend as a team for shit. The others do team ones which is the Coach or Owner option.

Defense is easy once you recognise patterns, which every CPU team has their own of. For me 1 RB = 4-3, 2 RB/TE or 4 WR = Nickel. Only ever use Dime if I'm In my own ten before switching to goal line. Pinch or spread your LB depending on where the TE or Rb's are lining up, press whenever you want etc, switch to yer free safety and then let the rest of the team do the tackling. If it's a PA or pass, drop off and try and read it. If it's a run then just get in there as much as you can. Think the only time I don't use my safety is when I'm blitzing I take Mack as his first step is ridiculous on this game.
Winning games at a canter right now after struggling at the start of my fourth season. Carr still throwing stupid interceptions but I'm taking more risks so it's to be expected. Can't believe I didn't use hot routes before the last couple of games, added a whole new dimension to some of my favourite plays.
Perfect adjustment against the Chiefs just now, had Streater and D-Jax going on a wheel route to the posts, but switched D-Jax's to a drag which pulled up the linebackers and gave me more room to drop the ball in for Streater- 28 yard reception and then 20 YAC for the TD. Oosh.

Wooooow just did my first pre season game with the Packers vs the Titans. I am fucking dreadful. I don't have a clue what's going on when I'm defending and everything is a struggle on offense.
Managed to win 13-12 but it was hard work. Really enjoyed it though.

daveyposhboy do you call plays by formation? I've always called by play type. Went 14-2 this season on the back of another ridiculous season from Austin Ray, 1700 yards on the ground and 16! TDs to go with 400-4 receiving, which is a good thing since my QB followed up his MVP year by completing 50.4% of his passes for 1900 yards, 19 TDs and 16 INTs Only lost 2 of my defensive players to retirement this offseason and had an ok draft to continue game-managing my way to winning seasons

Yeah man, formation for me. I tried to get used to using the play type way of calling but I just remember the playbook better from Madden 12 through formations. Lool, was sure 16 would be some of rushing record, turns out you're still 12 short.. that's fucking crazy numbers.
What does selecting to rebuild stadium do- wipe the stadium away? Do you have to use your money to actually build it from the ground up?
Really want to stay in Oakland but if I can it'd be pretty sick to rebuild the Coliseum. LA is the other option but they have an awful fan rating.

I can't even figure the play thing out. It suggests one to me or I can flick through a few of the others but I don't know how to choose by formation or player.
Another thing how do you choose who's on the field or is it automatic? Rodgers did a couple of plays then I never saw him again and never saw Nelson or Cobb once.
Maybe because it was preseason? I have no clue. There is a hell of a lot to try and get your head around in Madden.

Yeah man, LaDainian Tomlinson putting in dat work my TE had 19 receiving TDs during Bobby's 52 TD year but think that's still only 4th or 5th on the list edit: ChappyHova during preseason games your first teamers only play the 1st quarter and then the backups play after that. You can change who's on by going into Options > Depth Chart from the pause menu

So if I've only gone coach and not owner does that mean I can't do anything with the stadium? I'll probably start again if so.

Owner is your best bet. To change teams you have to create a new owner though which sucks because you can't carry your legacy over or anything
