Some noteable stats, Portis ran for over 1600 yards and scored 15 TD's. I'm not sure what happened at QB, but somehow Ramsey ended up the starter even though I left Brunell as the #1. Ramsey threw for over 3400 yards, 25 TD's and 14 picks. Coles had over 70 catches for about 1200 yards and 9 TD's. Arrington had a nice year with 6 sacks and a couple of picks, over 100 tackles. Springs had 9 int's.
Once they got to the bowl that's when I decided to play my first game, I trounced the Colts 34-6. Finally a SB celebration! Not sure why EA has ignored that for so long. Confetti rained down and Gibbs was dowsed with gator aid.
Now on to the offseason. Brunell was ticked about not playing and wanted a trade, so I gladly delt him to Miami along with Haley and Wynn for Ogunleye. Kendrell Bell was available in free agency so I signed him to a 7 year deal and traded Barrow away for a 2nd round pick next year. In the draft I took a couple of promising looking DT's, both are in the low 70's as rookies. Also picked up a nice MLB but that was before I picked up Bell so this rook might not see much PT.
I ended up quitting at 1am, way past my bedtime, LOL. I still have to finish up the training camp drills tonight. By the way, Taylor is at a 92 in his second season, Ramsey is in the 90's too. Portis, Arrington and Coles are all 99's. A few other guys are in the 90's too, Jansen, Samuels, Thomas, O-Gun, Washington, so my team is pretty stacked right now.
I'm hoping the cap comes in to play more this year, because last year it was pretty easy to keep a stacked team together as long as you didn't kill yourself with cap hits.

Yea I think they said they fixed the cap, but we'll see if they did. i just started my franchise,a ctually playing. You can read about my sim one on the other thread. First, im surprised you got the skins to go 14-2 with simualting. did you change the rosters or do anythign to help them or did they just kick ass? skins went 8-8 when I simed the first season.
In the franchise I just started I immediatly traded Brunell, and Wynn I beleive to the patriots for Vince Wilfork and Ty Warren. Wilfork is an 80 DT rookie, and warren is an 83 one year pro end. Great trade in my opinion, would have never worked in the old maddens because older players held no value. Plus I got another cane, heh. I just started preseason, I practiced training camp in the minicamp practice mode before acutally doing it. It helped out so much practicing first, if you havent tried it you should. It makes you a much better player in minicamp. I actually got five point on the all madden level for trench fight, i never even used to try passed rookie level for that drill on 04.
