Okay, folks, let’s dive into how I finally figured out this whole fantasy draft thing in Madden 24. It wasn’t as straightforward as I thought, but I got it working, and I’m here to share the messy, step-by-step process.
Getting Started
First, I fired up the game and headed straight to the Franchise mode. I mean, that’s where all the fun stuff is, right? I picked “Franchise” because, duh, that is where you make your team.
Creating the League
I chose to start a new league. I did not want to deal with some one else’s team. I went with the “Offline” option. I’m not ready for the online world just want my own team for now. I selected to use a “real-life” roster. I only wanted to do a fantasy draft.
Setting Up the Draft
Okay, here’s where it got a little tricky. After I picked my team (Go, [insert your team name here]!), I was presented with a bunch of options. I scrolled around and then went to “Starting Point”, and there it was: “Fantasy Draft”. I almost missed it! I clicked on that bad boy.
Customizing the League (Important!)
Before the draft even started, I made sure to tweak the league settings. I wanted full control, you know? I went into the settings and adjusted things like:
- Salary Cap: I am not trying to be underpaid so I left it on.
- Draft Order: I made myself first.
The Draft Itself
Finally, the draft! I hit “Start Drafting,” and the madness began. I spent a good amount of time going through the players. I made some tough calls, let me tell you. But I ended up with a team I was pretty happy with. And of course, I picked my favorite players first!
Post-Draft Shenanigans
After the draft, I took some time to manage my roster, set my depth chart, and basically get everything in order. I checked out the free agents, just in case I missed any hidden gems.
The End is the Beginning
I saved my new league and got ready to play. It took me a bit to get to this point but I finally did it.
And that’s it! That’s how I stumbled my way through a fantasy draft in Madden 24. It was a bit of a learning curve, but hey, I got there. Hopefully, my little adventure helps you out. Now go build your dream team!
