Madden 17: What your franchise says about you
NFC North
Chicago Bears (74 Team Rating) – If you like another project, this is up your alley. Not sure how long it will take you to turn this team into contenders but if your struggling by season three, I wouldn’t be surprised.
Detroit Lions (80 Team Rating) – Not sure I’d rate the Lions this high but even with the 80 rating, taking over Detroit is a tough challenge that you openly embrace for some strange reason. Maybe you know something I don’t.
Green Bay Packers (85 Team Rating) – Controlling the Green Bay Packers means that you’re hellbent on bringing 2-3 Lombardi trophies back to Green Bay and you’ve got the talent and coaching to do it.
Minnesota Vikings (81 Team Rating) – Like Tampa Bay, this choice of Minnesota is a good one if you’re looking to build. Very good building blocks across the board and now you’ve got a new stadium to do it in!
NFC West
Arizona Cardinals (84 Team Rating) – Like another team in this division, if you enjoy injuring QB’s and creating turnovers on defense, this is one team to use. However, you may have to find a new QB and offensive line, especially dealing with this division.
Los Angeles Rams (78 Team Rating) – You take over the Rams, you’re a builder. You might be building for a while, but hey if you’ve always wanted the NFL back in Los Angeles then this is right up your alley!
San Francisco 49ers (75 Team Rating) – Taking over in San Francisco means you’re trying to do a better job than Chip Kelly will ever do for the 49ers, congrats because you’ve already won.
Seattle Seahawks (85 Team Rating) – This is kind of like Green Bay, taking over Seattle means you’re trying to right the wrongs of a few lost Super Bowl chances and your chances to raise another Lombardi in Seattle are pretty good.
