Thats right I said it in the title, “I HAVE AN ADDICTION.” The first step is to admit and while most of you will find this misleading my addiction simply relates to the game of Madden. Sure I should be reading a book in my free time but I’m not a fan of reading books. So when I get free time I turn on the Playstation and I play Madden. My favorite feature of madden is the franchise mode where you can build your team and execute the game plan you develop. This can be done through a fantasy draft (where you start at square one and are able to draft any player you want) which is my favorite, or this can be done through picking up a franchise that is already updated with current NFL rosters.

Before you can decide what changes need to be made you need to first notice where the team is at right now. With the injuries to the Chiefs this year missing Tight End – Tony Moeaki, Saftey – Eric Berry, and Running Back – Jamaal Charles the areas of improvement are more noticeable.
