Your madden teams and why

Detroit Lions: I just started with them (my hometown), and I love them. Kevin Jones (RB) is a beast, as is Roy Williams (WR). I have gone 2-1 with them so far, the one loss being after a 28+ point comeback (35-3 at half, 42-44 end) when I missed the 2 point conversion

Pittsbugh Steelers: The bus, Rothlisburger, Ward, and Polomalu, nuff said

Titans: McNair can run! Great defense as well.
 
Raiders, cause I can use my talent to offset the lack of talent on the team.

But if we're talking franchise, my team is pretty bitchin'. My starting OL's weakest OVR is 89, my RB is a 89... on his second year. I have a QB that makes Mike Vick look slow, a FB that is 99, my weakest WR is a 55, but my star is a 93, on MLB that's a 99, as well as my SS. Pretty much, my team is awesome, and I've drafted standouts and usually blow my competition away on All-Madden.
 
Houston Texans:

My hometown team,Cousin David has an arm in the game,and I love rushing for 1.5 yards a carry with Davis..what a hb! :P :( I'm all about gunning the ball and the Texans have one of the best WR's in the game,Andre Johnson :) They also have Bradford,Armstrong and Gaffney,solid WRs to have.

I also feel pretty comfortable playing in the Texans 3-4 D.
 
Dolphins b/c I'm a Fins Fan. But that's for my franchise team, and that has Vick and Portis on it. :lol

Otherwise, I use the Falcons...for obvious reasons. But I'm not just using Vick b/c he's a god in the game. I am the original Vick homer, since his freshman year, I've been a fanboy. So any team I play with has to have him on it. PEACE.
 
Duane likes to cheese it up with Vick in Madden I see! Don't mind me, I just have bad flahsbacks that still haunt me in my nightmares playing Vick four times in season 2 league. :(

Bears of course, being a huge Chicago fan. As much as I got pass happy in season 2, I still prefer a power rushing team that can also play good defense. My non Chicago pick would have to be the Chargers, since I'm using them in season 3. Their defense is pretty good and LT is a beast at running back! I also like using the Panthers because of their solid running game and good defense.
 
My Texans franchise has this for a roster:

QB- 99
HB- 94
FB- 92
WR1- 94
WR2- 88
WR3- 84
TE- 95
LT- 81 (2nd year player)
LG- 88
C- 97
RG- 84 (3rd year player)
RT- 91
LE- 88
RE- 88
DT- 91
LOLB- 92
MLB- 98
MLB- 94
ROLB- 93
CB1- 91
CB2- 89
CB3- 84
FS- 94
SS- 99

In my fourth year and I am yet to make it past the second round of the playoffs. I use a 3-4 defense and simulate everything except the offseason. Its way too easy to win playing against the CPU.
 
I have a Texans franchise. In my 4th year and we have 2 Super Bowl wins. Davis and Carr each have a league MVP with Davis about to get his 2nd. I am playing on All-Madden mode, but my team is just too powerful. But after this season, some people are going to have to get cut or traded so I cam be under the cap. So that should make a difference.

I forgot to mention competitively, like online play, who do you use to woop some ass

I'd say the Texans 90% of the time online :)

I used the Ravens in season 2 of the Gaming-age madden league,but I mainly just stick to using the Texans online and sometimes try out different teams from time to time.
 
Matrix likes to use the texans online so he can get whupped by the amazing BEARS BLITZ! HA HA HA HA!

You get a better ranking by beating good teams with bad ones. Since the Bears are rated so poorly I like to beat high powered teams with da Bears.

:lol You beat me like once with your shitty Bears,two times tops.....COUSIN DAVID OWNS JOO!
 
Hmmm, last time I played competitive was in 2003. I don't have my PS2 anymore, so no online Madden. :( Anyway, I used the Eagles/Falcons b/c I need a mobile QB. My whole game is centered around scrambling QB's throwing the long-ball off play-action. Stretch the field and the D, little protection, get it away fast. This was in Madden 03, where Vick was a fumble machine (and made of glass to boot), so it was largely the Iggles for McNabb's awesomeness. Whenever someone would ask me to use a shitty team, I'd use the Fins or Saints. I played long-ball a lot, but curls were the money plays, and I'm still a 60/40 run/pass player, otherwise the playfake doesn't really help much. And I run a 4-3...I am bad against the pass, and I feel I get a better pass rush with a 4-man front. I don't know, I'm not all that great at blitzing, b/c the TEs are so good I get torched a lot of the time. PEACE.
