It's time to begin a Madden 09 Cupcake Franchise Rebuild which will be one of my toughest rebuild challenges I have done. I have built a brand new custom team, and it's going to be tough to win any games with this squad. REBUILD RULES Madden 2009 Cupcake Franchise Rules Teams must be custom made with a cupcake roster template. In Franchise mode, release your starting QB, who is essentially a good 1st round rookie QB No trading allowed (For team progression balance) FA Rules In Year 1, no signings are allowed except for injury replacements. These replacements must be the lowest rated players at their position. Following the first year, new players may be signed from Free Agency, with restrictions. Once a tier has been reached, it is unlocked forever. 0 wins - No signings 1-4 wins - 0-69 overall (roster fillers) 5-7 wins - 70-75 overall (backup caliber players) 8-9 wins - 76-80 overall (potential starters) 10+ wins - No Restrictions Playoff berth of any kind - No Restrictions Contract Rules For a greater challenge, long term contracts can’t be offered to low rated players you plan to develop. Long term contracts are reserved for higher rated players. A cheap 7 year contract for a young player is too much of a shortcut. FA Under 80 overall: 3 years or less FA 80 overall or higher: No limit Drafted rookies: 4 years or less --------------------------------------------------------- On my MrHurriicaneLP channel I make sports gaming lets play series.
