| Used to love this game as well. Got it last year and played it maybe 3 or 4 times.

| I started a franchise with the Titans and made these trades....
Trade #1:
Cincinnati gets: LB Keith Bullock and Titans 2009 3rd round pick
Tennessee gets: WR Chad Johnson and Bengals 2009 4th round pick
Trade #2:
Oakland gets: RB Chris Henry, Titans 2009 1st round pick, and Titans 4th round pick
Tennessee gets: RB Darren McFadden and Raiders 2nd round pick (LMFAO)
Trade #3:
Kansas City gets: DT Albert Haynesworth
Tennessee gets: DT Glenn Dorsey and KC's 1st round pick in 2009 draft
Trade #4
Dallas gets: WR Roydell Williams
Tennessee gets: LB Kevin Burnett
none of these trades were forced and the salary cap is on. My reasoning...
Trade #1: I need somebody else other than Justin Cage to be my #1 WR. I hated giving up Bullock but he's aging a bit, but I'll take losing him if that means I get one of the best WR's in the game
Trade #2: Chris Henry is complete crap. I have a solid defense and wanted just one more playmaker on offense and was willing to give up some draft picks, but I couldn't believe that Oakland also gave me their 2nd round pick. I love my runningback of McFadden, LenWhale, Chris Johnson
Trade #3: Since the salary cap is on, I knew there would be no way I could keep Haynesworth. He's a 98 on the game so I thought he'd be good value for trade bait. Really happy that I got a DT that will probably be better than Haynesworth and is under a long term contract. I got my 1st round pick back, that I traded for McFadden.
Trade #4: With Bullock being dealt, I had a huge hole at LB. So I gave up Williams who was a 79 and picked up Burnett who is a 82 and is so far my leading tackler.
I still felt my LB's were a bit weak so I signed Takeo Spikes to a 2 year deal.
starting skill players....
QB: Vince Young
RB: Darren McFadden/LenDale White
WR: Chad Johnson/Brandon Jones/Justin Cage
TE: Algie Crumpler
defense looks like this...
DE's: Vanden Bosh and Kearse
DT's: Tony Brown and Dorsey
LB's: Spikes, Burnett, Thorton
DB's: Finnigan, Harper, Griffin, Hope
I have a 90 overall, 89 defense and 88 offense. 3-1 on the season so far | |

| Why McFadden, you got Chris Johnson. And you just ruined all of that cap space my Titans have. | |

| I played my first online game last night.. Lost 31-28, and he was a cheezer too. I hate em. He woudl go for it on EVERY 4th down no matter where he was at, and any time he kicked off it would be an onside kick. | |

I have a 90 overall, 89 defense and 88 offense. 3-1 on the season so far | Some nice line-ups, but i honestly think that bullock is waaay to good on that defense to give up, or better wording: you should have tried to get johnson for less. Believe me, I know how bad the wr's are, but I wouldn't've given up bullock
also spikes just signed w/ the niners or someone just a few days ago  ....williams for burnett seems like it was a pretty good trade though | |

| one thing that NCAA is better at Madden is the fact in NCAA when a WR makes a catch close to the sidelines, they make sure they have their feet in bounds, whereas Madden doesn't and pisses me off | |
