do you roll with your favorite team or who evers hot?

okay so i was wondering do you guys play with your favorite team, the team you follow in real life? or do you roll with who evers hot at the time? or do you roll with a team beacuse of a certain player? for example AP, CJ, vick etc... me personally i love rollin with philadelphia, its the team i know and follow, in the begining when 10 was first released i did alot of team hopping but found i couldnt win consistantly when i switched teams that often so i went back to my roots and went philly and nothing but philly and its worked great beacuse i better understand the team after playing so many games with them and have come up with a great substitution system in the process, now i realize people "play to win the game" and winning is fun and all but for me its a lil different yeah winning is fun and great but winning with my team is even greater, cuz to me playing with the team i follow in real life IS fun for me sure i cant RC like the chargers or boys but that doesnt matter to me, what matters is that im having fun playing with my team, now im not at all against people that switch teams often, if you buy the game your entitled to play it any way you please so dont think im sayin people that team hop are dumb cuz there not, but im curious, do you roll with your favorite team no matter thier rating and players or do you roll with the hot team or a team that better suits your sytle of play?

I have tried rolling with other teams but it always fails. I can't go more than 1 game without using the jaguars. Every other team just feels weird to me.

i feel you on that man, sometimes i feel like changing it up but it never really works out im not as comfortable with other teams like i am with the eagles.

I could use the best teams in the game, but i would do worse with them then i would with the jags just because i am so used to the jags.

I used to roll with the chargers back in 06 & 07 and half way through 08 madden but back then everybody was using them so i was like im gonna use a team that nobody uses and i started playing with the TEXANS and i got a whole lot better cuz when i played with the bolts back then all i did was run with LT and at the time the bolts didn't have any good wr's sure jackson was there but he wasn't as good as he is now.

And i discovered i was able to move the ball better with the TEXANS and at the time all i did was run the ball and the next thing i know all im doing is airing it out to Dre and O.D. so i went from a runnig madden player to a F*CK IT IM GOING DEEP TYPE OF MADDEN PLAYER thats just gonna throw the ball the entire game and ever since then i've been playing with the TEXANS ever since and lived happily ever after THE END.

That was a touching story, thanks super_mario90

I think it's remarkable how i couldn't throw with the BOLTS who were a very popular team and was a high rated team then i started playing with a team that at the time wasn't very good and i played better with them.

I am a die hard steelers fan but when I play madden I use the 49ers I just think P Willis is the best player to use in madden and I play smashmouth football and I think the 9ers have a really good team for that.

I use whoever has 3-4 good CB's and a nice QB... Saints, Cowboys, Packers, Chargers. Also use Pats b/c of Moss and Browns and Dolphins since they are my fav teams.

I ball with my team, DALLAS. OR carolina,but now the raiders got a QB the darkside i will be balling with too!

I always use the Raiders, but I also use the Panthers.

I did a thread on this very subject, asking if anyone else felt guilty about using another team. The overall response was that u should use the team that fits your gameplan. However, If I dont use the saints I feel like I've committed adultery.

i'm a skins fan...i like using the skins but they are not my go to team although it did help when aldrige was adden in an update later in the season

Sometimes i use the lions because of MEGATRON.

i use my eagals as much as i can i dont play online yet i play my buddies and alot of the time they say i'm to tough with them cus i know them inside and out so i use other teams that match up with the teams they choose.i feel the same as B-_R_B i win more with my team than others.

Boy'''''i think you'll be seeing alot of Eagel's player's on line like you'll see Cowboy's-Jet's-Saint's-and-Colt's..it's gona be good this year.

I hope nobody uses my TEXANS.

i dono about that, its not like people are gonna use the eagles cuz of kolb or mccoy? or allen or harris?, the only way i see people using the eagles is if there true fans that dont mind the fact that all the big name players are now gone, there looking for speed at WR (maclin & jackson) or people that are looking for a mobile QB (vick) other than that i dont see too many reasons people would flock to philly, i can see people going with other teams that have better "madden" players, thats not to say i dont think philly has great "madden" players cuz i do, who knows though maybe there will be alot of eagle users, hopefully not though.

As long as vick is there he'll be used a lot i know some high lvl players that use him well.

true but philly will not be all the rage when the game is released like they were when 10 dropped, i think the reason alot of vick users rolled with philly is cuz they had kind of a securtity blanked in donovan, a QB that could push the ball down the field accuratley if vick failed, im sure they'll still be some users that roll philly but not as many and im lookin forward to it.

Almost everyone will be useing the EAGLES in madden 11.

yeah cuz kolb is comming in as a top QB huh! oh yeah i forgot.... and desean is 6'3..... they have the best center field saftye in the game! i totally forgot that too! they have two lock down CB's as well, how foolish of me to forget that..... NOT!!! sure there will be some eagle users but "almost everyone"? i think not, everyone is gonna be on the jets, boys, and probably vikings band wagon, more than the eagles band wagon, theres only two players i see people wanting to use and that desean and michael, other than that people are gonna say hey there's better teams out there, that is unless your a fan of the eagles, im sure there will be some eagle users sure but not as many as there were last year when 10 dropped, i mean look philly no longer has D-mac, westbrook, dawk, brown, i mean all the good "madden" players arent on the team anymore you no longer have a top QB,RB,FS, & right corner, i dont see people using philly for kolb, shady, harris, or ellis? but it is what it is, i dont care even if everyone does roll philly i know i am for sure.

My saints will be sturdy, but i'm not sleeping on Baltimore. Added players: Boldin, Stallworth, mount cody, kindle, and Ed Dickson who has great speed at TE..

Unfortunatly I am a browns fan, though I use them after tons of tweeking I would get murdered if it was my real team. I pretty much stick to the ravens, cowboys and pats year after year.
