Rebuilding a team in Madden is an annual tradition for any armchair GM or fan of franchise mode. It’s arguably one of the best ways to play the game mode. It is usually what I end up doing as I almost always boot up a Giants franchise (I’m unfortunately a lifelong fan). The only way to play as them for the last decade or so has been to rebuild that roster, which has been stuck in a mediocre stasis for half of my life. I enjoy rebuilding the Giants’ roster every year. It is a cathartic experience that allows me to see the Giants actually win games during the season and gives me a little shot of accomplishment that says, “hey, maybe I could be the GM of the team,” only to remember that I dropped out of college after two years and have zero management experience. All that is to say: what I have experience in, however, is Madden rebuilds!
