In Madden, I did a franchise starting with the original Browns. I had planned the whole time to move them to NYC, which I did, and built my own stadium. I also renamed them the Cleveland Brownies, and designed their uniforms to look like Brownies. Red helmets for the cherry, jersey style 3 with the big shoulder pad stripe--made that white for whipped cream. Then I made the jerseys and pants brown and the numbers and stripes bage to represent nuts. I also re-did their roster, building around Edwards, Winslow, Droughns, Baxter, Andra Davis, and Ben Taylor. After moving them to NYC after the second year, this is the team. I went 4-12 first year (simmed) and got the #2 pick, where I took AJ Hawk. Round 2 Gabe Watson, Round 3 Cedric Griffen, Round 4 Derric Hagan, the other pics I didn't sign. They had a lot of cap room so I was able to bring in some marquee free-agents to add to my core. I tried to build around Charlie Frye as my QB, but after two years of simming he was a 69, so I knew he wasn't the answer. Donovan McNabb was a free agent, and I signed him. He's a 99. So I'm in my 3rd season, this is my team. Tried to keep most of the Browns around so it wasn't like a fantasy draft team.

QB McNabb
RB Droughns
FB Forgot his name, the Browns FB
WR Edwards/Bryant/Andre Davis/Hagan

Defense (3-4)
DE Umenyora (traded a 3rd round pick for him my second year)
DE O. Roye (kept him around, he's solid.)
DT Watson

MLB Davis
MLB Taylor
ROLB Hawk
CB Baxter/McClutcheon/Perkins/Griffen
FS Forgot his name too, but he's like an 86, current Browns safety

It's a lot of fun, I'm going to do it with another team when I'm done.
