Fun morning project. The sheets and charts I post every year are now an app. Build lineups for all 32 teams, drag and drop your own 1 to 32 draft board, and hunt trade targets graded by my rankings. Free hosting for now, so tell me if it locks you out. franchise-builder.netlify.ap…

Julian Sayin is not good enough.

Will say, Indiana’s DBs are getting to the OSU receivers before the ball on a lot of throws.

Sayin is not good. He lacks anything with his feet and has become so reliant on Jeremiah Smith that he’s regressed.

The media rushing to run cover for Justin Herbert will some day need to be studied. The interception isn’t his fault…also no other QB’s have national media pundits trying to control the narrative within minutes of a bad loss
Many fans have pushed for the NFL to add an “interception caused by receiver” stat to differentiate QB mistakes from interceptions that are largely out of their control. Is this play a perfect example of why that stat should exist? 🤔

So hear me out, I bet there is a judge in Kalamazoo that would be open to hearing a case on that ending…

We have had abilities in #Madden for how long? Yet I have unlocked spin move and bulldozer for Fernando Mendoza in franchise so far. What are we doing out here?!

Have we heard anything from @MaddenNFLDirect on the Franchise lock up issues when advancing people have been reporting? I don't see anything. Would be nice to know if this is on the radar @SGraddyEA @ClintOldenburg @Official_Mole (I know this isn't all your departments)

I’m kind of curious at this point with AI why some of these bugs in @EAMaddenNFL exist. Like the 5th year option issue, that should be something that could get run down and patched pretty quickly.

I mentioned my @EAMaddenNFL Franchise Discord bot I created as a media arm of our franchise league the other day. I got the debate function to work where they actually ingest takes from other personalities and will reply.

Continue to build cool stuff for our @EAMaddenNFL franchise. This is a look at our media department. I built out 6 independent media personalities that analyze league happenings (Stats, injuries, scores, trades, etc) and will carry on conversations in a media channel each wk.

The cool thing is they can actually engage in arguments on each other's takes. They will call out and @ specific coaches and when it makes sense. Users can opt out if they don't want to get bullied by the personalities. Their takes should adjust as the season progresses.

With @EAMaddenNFL not releasing the companion app yet, but our league starting, I went ahead and built a stop gap @NeonSportz . I ingested the EA launch database then layered in devs using video recordings of and AI vision. Hit on about 97% with some cleanup still to do.

Ai is wild. I just built a Discord Bot in 30 minutes to run our #Madden27 franchise draft. It lives in a channel, we load all the members into then it runs reaching out to them when on clock to get their pick. People can / it for what teams are taken or what divisions look like.

#Madden27 Franchise thoughts. DEN is #4 overall with exactly one starter 25 or younger. That is the most win-now roster in the league. BAL is #3 but dead last in cap space with eight starters over 30. BUF is #7 with #29 cap space. All three should be buying aggressively year 1.

Interesting #Madden27 Franchise rebuild option, the Steelers. You have some nice defensive pieces that are aging but still with value you can move year one to a contender. You ride Allar year one and see what you can do there in terms of dev. One to watch.

Built out a function where you can share images of the team's specifically with people along with your draft boards for team selections and so on.
