THE Madden Rebuild King. Rebuild God. Lord Bengal King of the Franchise Rebuild. JK all for fun :). Franchise Rebuilds on Madden are just the bees knees and the cats pajamas.
Seriously though, whether it's madden 22 rebuilds, madden 22 rebuilding, madden 22 realistic rebuilds or even madden 22 franchise mode, I am painfully average. I also talk about NFL Football predictions NFL draft prospects, and the 2022 NFL Draft!

[@parkycod]

after this game, the maddens are just fun exhibition games to play with your friends over a beer on the Saturday before the Super Bowl. This was the last good Madden.

[@Tyronewebb]

Literally the last good madden, its sad to say. Especially since it was a decade ago.

[@legostopmotionguy13]

[@tucegs522]

The statistics in this game look so much more realistic, guys down the depth chart actually get reps instead of your wr4 just magically getting 0 targets

[@tucegs522]

The offensive ones at least, lol

[@uflstallions_dynasty]

Let's gooooo this is one of my favorite Madden games!!!!! Edit: I have done a rebuild for the Cardinals by the way, and I won the Super Bowl on year 5. It's really cool to see you thinking over and trying to solve the same problems that I did (like the QB problem, the pass rushing problem, the WR2 problem, and the offensive line problem, among others). If you ever do rebuilds in these games, I'd advise trading old players for draft picks since draft picks aren't valued much by the CPU even though rookies tend to be higher rated in this game than in the new games. You can really build a dynasty.

[@non_stop_pig9297]

It’s weird seeing him call a pitch and it actually working because pitches in new Maddens are absolute garbage. Crazy how the offensive linemen AI used to be good and now they’re brain dead. How are the games worse on newer, more powerful consoles? EA sucks.

[@phantomgamez117]

This is my favorite Madden! This had a mode where you could create your own team from scratch and select what kind of players you’d want on your team. You can also replace a team in franchise mode with your custom team.

[@chasecook5031]

The draft was so much better CPU would trade with CPU ticker,and a real 10 minute clock.God I miss this

[@tuckcity]

They had draft grades during the off-season too, seeing which team drafted the best Also, you didn’t see player roles, which change every season depending on performance. Your rookies could’ve said face of the franchise, injury prone, team motivator, etc.

[@andrewkim1357]

this was the first madden i bought and the best madden lowkey. out of all the older maddens, i remember this one the most, the art, and the soundtrack, the free agency bidding were memorable and i wish they brought some of the stuff back to new maddens

[@DEADPOTENTIAL]

[@Javapoptartss]

Not to mention the sound track

[@Timbo_Slice]

So interesting fact about the fan vote for the cover and why Peyton Hillis got on the cover in the end. It was set up as a march madness bracket style single knockout fan vote. And what happened was after every round, the fans of the player eliminated would pour votes onto the next player going against the player that eliminated their favorite. It was also almost Sebastian Janikowski on the cover, but he ended up loasing out i believe in the final 4 round.

Are we not going to deep dive and address Bayele Bernard? Because like… wtf

[@nicholasbuffone175]

Really, really late to this, but I found an old Operation Sports thread where a user named Manning2Harrison claimed it was a consequence of the 2011 player lockout: "Due to the lockout and the timing of the CBA getting done, Madden 12 was finished before real-life UDFAs could be signed." Given that the 75-man preseason rosters were meant to be a prominent new addition for Madden 12's Franchise Mode, it looks like the devs just worked around the issue by making a bunch of fictitious "camp bodies" to fill the void. If so, I'd wager Bayele Bernard was one of them - I'd have to go and dig out the game to verify whether he's just part of the default Franchise Mode roster or if it's randomly generated each time you start one up. Not 100% sure if that's what happened and why, but it's the best explanation I could dig up.

[@gofast7907]

​@nicholasbuffone175 They're all randomly generated each franchise and each year in franchise. Sometimes they end up being serviceable with a rare gem showing up on occasion.

Just started the video, so idk if this is mentioned, but this was the last Madden edition with CREATE A TEAM!!! I loved being able to build a cupcake team and rebuild them to superbowl champions as an expansion franchise (usually replaced the ravens because lol, fuck the ravens). If they brought this feature back, they could make ONE version of the game as a live service: update MUT content and do balance patches every few months, do annual roster updates as a free part of the base game, introduce new features, game modes, expanded experiences (like bringing hundreds of features back to madden franchise in groups of DLC's), skins, superstar/career mode features and expanded/alternate storylines. Oh also, they could FIX THE FUCKING SPAGHETTI CODE ON AN FPS ENGINE THAT THEY WERE FORCED TO USE. Seriously, the Frostbite engine is so shit as far as simulations, that the playable pro bowl was removed due to full crashes while displaying more than 2 different helmets. Its a bug that they could work out in the code.... its just not fixable at all based on engine limitations.

Progression isn't random. Progression is based on production. A player with an A potential will stay around the 90s as long as he produces.. if injured or on the bench his overall will drop after the season. Players progress the most in their first 2 years which is why if you get a player who's an A potential you start him right away to get the most progression out of him.
