At Last A Taste of the Post Season

So hey the Broncos finally made the post season after three sub par seasons. Last time we spoke the team was 5-3. We went 4-4 in our final 8 games ending the season with a heart breaking over time loss at home to the mediocre Cleveland Browns. However, at 9-7 we have snuck in to the post season with the 6 seed. Our Bronco boys will be traveling to the steel city of Pittsburgh for a tough road playoff game against the AFC North Division Champions the 11-5 Pittsburgh Steelers. We are definite underdogs, but QB Kris Steven-Baker remains confident. I recently made an executive decision to change our coaching scheme in which I gave number one running back Knowshon Moreno more carries and changed our scheme so that we run the ball 70 percent of the time. I edited all offensive line man to only focus on the run. We'll see how this works out in the playoffs. Recently the game has been getting hard for me in regards to the passing game. I have seemed to loss my ability to make smart passes when playing and have had serious trouble handling pressure. I hope to fix this flaw in the post season. Next time we talk, I ll hope I'll be saying that your 2013 champions are the Denver Broncos!

Tired of Stuggling

Another year another failure. My Broncos in year 3 had such high expectations, but all came crumbling down with another losing season. This time going 7-9. However, there was evidence of improvement. I played the first 4 games of the season and ended up going 2 and 2 as I found that the gameplay level I play on, my skill, is rather difficult. My skill is a unique feature because rather than picking a difficulty level, when one selects my skill the game adapts to him or her. I think it makes for excellent game play and I have become more motivated by the challenge. My madden skill has risen from the original 500 to 600, and in turn the game has become more difficult. Anyways, after a productive off season I have a new and improved squad. I have added a great middle line backer in the young Ray Maualuga to complete my 3-4 defense and my first round draft pick is an 80 overall stud who is already my starting defensive tackle and gave me the flexibility to trade away my previous one for fresh talent. My team overall has raised to an 89 which is 6th best in the NFl. So far I am 5-3 in my season 4 campaign. Go Broncos!

The Beginning of a Dynasty

I have begun a Madden NFL 10 franchise with the Denver Broncos. My goal is to retool this team and make it into a powerhouse. I want to build through free agency, trades, and the yearly rookie draft. So far I have decided to essentially give up on my first two seasons as I rebuild my team with young players. I have traded a good portion of the original team to get high draft picks and other good young players. I have traded essential players such as Kyle Orton, Champ Bailey, and Eddie Royal as I viewed it essential for the future of my team. I want to build my team around the running game, the offensive line, and defensive line. However, I also wanted to address the quarterback situation immediately. With the second pick of the draft, I selected a quarterback named Carmelo Goldwire. After his rookie year I did not like his skill set and hence packaged him and draft picks for another young quarterback named Kevin Steven-Baker. I am currently in season 3 after simulating the first two seasons, as i went a combined 6-23, but now the team is where I want it to be. I have begun playing in season 3, and have started the season 1-1, but I feel like it will be a promising season when it's all set and done.
