- Upgrade FS either in the draft by converting a SS or sign one in FA - Draft another stud WR - Get OL depth late in the draft - Resign Garrett to a 6 or 7 yr extension - Fire Bill O'Brien and get a coach that runs a 4-3 defense - Sign or draft a solid speed back as your number 2 RB
BoB needs to go. He's taken the greatest rookie quarterback in NFL history, a dominant O-line, and an outstanding defense, and has watched this team stagnate. Trying to find a coach with a vertical scheme that'll stretch the field will do wonders for this offense.
O'Brien definitely needs to go. There are tons of perks to signing head coaches who are level 20 or higher. I believe O'Brien is level 3 or 8. Also Don Banks is 79 ovr at MLB but if you move him to OLB he bumps up to 83 ovr which is a pretty decent upgrade compared to your other OLB.
U gotta use a playbook u know runs a 4-3. Bill O’Brien irl runs a 3-4 and that’s y it sims in a 3-4. Try like Pete Carroll’s playbook or Denver’s. Use the playbook of a team u know is a 4-3 irl.
To change your schemes: Change playbooks from Cle-HueJackson to Hou-BillO'Brien on both offense and defense. If you want to run a 4-3 defense, change that as well on the scheme-settings. Then go on to change your QB to a pocket passer on scheme-settings, and change to a zone run offense to gain balance.
havso23 what about if you picked a fake coach? What playbook is good? Also the coach does 3-4 and I picked the 3-4 scheme but in game in still shows 4-3 in the games itself...
Go to a spread offense with the balanced play-book if you want to pass it a lot and grow your QB. If you want balance go Zone Run with Kyle Shanahan's playbook. Change both the defensive scheme and defensive playbook and it should work:) Be aware that a pass-heavy offense is risky if you don't have a good pocket-passing QB or a good WR or two.
Upgrade WR significantly. Get a better coach. Also upgrade the OLBs. Use spread offense. Maybe address free safety and a good blocking FB. A better pass rusher at LE?
Cleveland an old fashioned City that plays old fashioned football that will play in an old fashioned Stadium. My hometown looking pretty old fashioned.
Greenbury's numbers down in part because running game down...need viable running game to give him opportunities. Also, search for a better balance playcalling.
Offence: Upgrade for FB (pass & run blocking) and a Superstar WR Defense: address weaknesses in FS and outside LBs Should have a killer year next season if you could fill all those holes.
Bill O'Brian is a good coach, wouldn't be opposed to keeping him, but at the same time there needs to be changes somewhere along the line. Wouldn't be opposed to him leaving either.
It's crazy coming back to this and seeing how many things this series predicted. The Eagles would beat the Pats in the Super Bowl, the Browns would go just under 500 with a tie in their first season after drafting a stellar QB first overall, and here specifically Derek Henry having a great game.
Hey hurricane, you got any tips on drafting? Cause I'm having a bit of trouble reaching in picks for players that I thought were better. Any tips for making good picks?
I think like we saw in most live game look-ins the running game always put us in 3rd and ling situations which I think hurt our qb numbers. Do what you do draft an elite rb!
I enjoyed watching this series and your Madden 18 franchise. I wish you the best of luck with your season and franchise. I really do hope u get the win cause you are doing a job with your franchise. I also like where plus do believe that you will have success in your franchise. I can’t wait for the next episode #KeepTheSeriesGoing
Fire bill O'Brien. Change scheme to attacking 3-4. No more auto upgrades. The more you level your coach the more xp you'll get for your players. Therefore making them a Lot better faster. I'm currently doing the coach mode for the Texans. First order of business was sure up the O line and D line. Traded for RB Coleman from Atlanta for practically nothing.
I dont know if anyone has asked you, lot of comments to comb through in all these videos, but do you do the weekly training and just edit it out or do you just sim it?
if one of your DTs leave u should move Garrett to DT so that the DE with superstar development can play more also get a new coach and move banks or jones to OLB and make sure when sims it is 4- 3 defense
4-3 would be the best Defense for you to run, reason is that you have really good defensive player's...and your LB are already great...you put 1 and 1 together and you should be number 1 in defense...and will give you time for your next off-season to really put ur offensive together..
Fire O'Brian and your OC. Promote your DC to HC or just get a new HC. Probably sign a very good FS, Draft a WR or OL in the 1st, draft Larry Orr in the 3rd and move him to DT. And for the love of Jim Brown, draft or sign some top OLBs! Collins is getting old and Kirksey is a waste of cap room, maybe move him to backup MLB and move Banks at OLB. Btw I love the series! Keep up the great work Cain!
I know guys, I'm just role playing. It is very unfortunate that you can't hire coordinators in this madden. I remember you can do that in past Maddens like Madden 08
Get a coach that runs the scheme you are signing and drafting for. It'll pay off in simulation a lot. Garrett will get more sacks in a 4-3 attacking. I hate to say it but you are hurting the team using peppers as a 3rd down back. In simulation his overall just doesn't cut it. Gordon should be cheap to keep as a 4 if you wanna offer a 1 year. Do not franchise tag Thomas it'll be sooo much more expensive. If you want him back for a tear meet his fair offer or up the signing bonus a touch. Your like is ok. Not great. You need a RT to be around an 85 or 86 if you can get chase there or by drafting a stud. Love the videos keep it up. You'll get there!!!! I'm currently watching the Jordan starks videos about to get to triple A :)
Hey cane I love watching your videos. Ive watched every almost all of your videos. A bugger fan of your main franchise series. Always get super into them. So, my question is what do I have to do to get you to be the browns next year on your main page. Its looking like were going to start turning ut around so I would really enjoy to watch you do it next year and take us on the right path
DONT JUST LET JOE THOMAS RETIRE WITHOUT GETTING ANYTHING IN RETURN. IF HE COMES BACK THEN TRADE HIM TO GET SOME VALUE BEFORE HE DOES WALK AWAY AND YOU GET NOTHING
Cane, when you change the playbook at the scheme menu, I'm almost positive it changes the sim playcalling to whatever you changed it to. I know it changes the playbook for when you're calling plays. Someone correct me if I'm wrong there.
If there are players that are entering the last year of there contract and you know your not going to re sign them I don't like how you let them walk away with you getting no return. If I was you I would trade them once you decide your not going to re sign so you could at least get some draft picks out of them to get at least a little something for your investment you had in them. Like Thomas I bet you could trade him right now for a 1st round pick if he comes back and draft a young replacement
Not sure if it's a glitch or not, but have noticed quite a bit more offensive production in Spread while in sim than any other scheme. Maybe go with that to get a few extra FG's or TD's a game? Looks to me like your current scheme runs the ball a bit to much.
Idk what scheme Hue Jackson is. But if he was a 3-4 defense then it will sim it like that because you still have his playbook. You would need to use O'Brien's playbook if you want a 4-3
I don't know if your gonna see this but an idea for another franchise is that you tear apart a team, even it's key players and then rebuild only through the draft. I feel like that would be a very fun series that both the viewers and you will enjoy. If you can let me know what you think that would be great.
At least you didn’t end up like one of my franchise teams I did one year. We had the 5th best offense but our defense was so bad it was ranked 33rd in the league.
You need to pick up a better free safety. It'll really strengthen that defense and produce more takeaways. Also, maybe run a one back scheme instead of 2 to really let him get more xp for your back and better production out of your o-line.
I believe you need to move josh Gordon up the depth chart a little more to get him involved in the game some more. You have plenty of cap space so if I was you I would free agent sign a established wide receiver while you also draft a stud one. As of right now you don't have enough solid targets so your qb is not getting enough receivers open regularly enough. Also FIRE BILL O'BRIEN. GET A MORE SOLID COUCH. Switch your playbook also to a more established one. Then of those changes don't start producing at the beginning of the season then make sweeping ones by maybe making a free trades since you make cap space
Hey just came across your channel really enjoy your Browns videos. It looks like you don't do any practices. It really helps to develop your peoples plus if you get gold you can sim the practices for full xp
- Upgrade FS either in the draft by converting a SS or sign one in FA
- Draft another stud WR
- Get OL depth late in the draft
- Resign Garrett to a 6 or 7 yr extension
- Fire Bill O'Brien and get a coach that runs a 4-3 defense
- Sign or draft a solid speed back as your number 2 RB
BoB needs to go. He's taken the greatest rookie quarterback in NFL history, a dominant O-line, and an outstanding defense, and has watched this team stagnate. Trying to find a coach with a vertical scheme that'll stretch the field will do wonders for this offense.
Fire O'Brien and let Greenberry throw it more
Move Matt Bryant at RB. Averages 4 yards per carry and got you a TD
O'Brien definitely needs to go. There are tons of perks to signing head coaches who are level 20 or higher. I believe O'Brien is level 3 or 8. Also Don Banks is 79 ovr at MLB but if you move him to OLB he bumps up to 83 ovr which is a pretty decent upgrade compared to your other OLB.
S J firing O'Brien would be such a browns thing to do
Anyone else noticing Russell Wilson has won MVP 3 or 4 years in a row in his sim? lol
Found and watched this entire series yesterday. I love it.
+Joshua Spieker Welcome to the channel!
Me too, currently watching the matt pierre's series too love the way you commentate these. great job man!
Ik this was 2 years ago, but how many episodes were there back then?
7 catches 32 yards and a TD - typical Jarvis Landry stat last season for my PPR team
Jacob Cannatella did you know, Landry is the first receiver ever to have 100+ catches and
Terrell Leo Dean Ross You kinda wonder is he just not get at making moves after the catch or was it the plays they were call up for him?
Kevin Fox had the most TDs! That's the guy you passed on! Their careers are forever intertwined
U gotta use a playbook u know runs a 4-3. Bill O’Brien irl runs a 3-4 and that’s y it sims in a 3-4. Try like Pete Carroll’s playbook or Denver’s. Use the playbook of a team u know is a 4-3 irl.

New coach. Can’t wait for next episode.
Upgrade WR significantly. Get a better coach. Also upgrade the OLBs. Use spread offense. Maybe address free safety and a good blocking FB. A better pass rusher at LE?
I care about your browns rebuild more than any of my own Madden franchises & the real browns combined
Cleveland an old fashioned City that plays old fashioned football that will play in an old fashioned Stadium. My hometown looking pretty old fashioned.
you can keep your coach and change his playbook to a different coach's. just scroll up and down till you find a 4-3 defensive scheme
Greenbury's numbers down in part because running game down...need viable running game to give him opportunities. Also, search for a better balance playcalling.
HURRIICANE TRUST ME SIM WITH SPREAD PLAYBOOK!!
Looks like opposing Ds finally found the antidote to the poisonous green berries.
Offence: Upgrade for FB (pass & run blocking) and a Superstar WR
Defense: address weaknesses in FS and outside LBs
Should have a killer year next season if you could fill all those holes.
Bill O'Brian is a good coach, wouldn't be opposed to keeping him, but at the same time there needs to be changes somewhere along the line. Wouldn't be opposed to him leaving either.
Dudes gotta cut Greenberrys hair, and give him no sleeves lmao
Great series! I came across this randomly (I don't even have Madden) and binged watched all the previous episodes in one day.

Chris Barnes 2 parts scout, 1 part luck, don't be the browns
25:35 Wow, 1520 Touchdowns thats impressive LOL
i really liked the titans game format
keep doing that!
I think like we saw in most live game look-ins the running game always put us in 3rd and ling situations which I think hurt our qb numbers. Do what you do draft an elite rb!
New head coach. You need another star wide receiver to be a go to for Greenbury. Maybe go heave offense early in draft and heavy defense late
I enjoyed watching this series and your Madden 18 franchise. I wish you the best of luck with your season and franchise. I really do hope u get the win cause you are doing a job with your franchise. I also like where plus do believe that you will have success in your franchise. I can’t wait for the next episode #KeepTheSeriesGoing

I'm currently doing the coach mode for the Texans. First order of business was sure up the O line and D line. Traded for RB Coleman from Atlanta for practically nothing.
Matt Bryant for MVP. Field goals and rushing TDs, can't ask for anything more.
Once you win a super bowl I feel like you should keep continuing the episodes since I enjoy it very much. Nice vid ✌️😁
I dont know if anyone has asked you, lot of comments to comb through in all these videos, but do you do the weekly training and just edit it out or do you just sim it?
I ain't gonna lie, I was a minute into the Bears franchise, but then saw this. Had to watch this one lol
Keep this going my man, I’m really loving this series
Under my coach tab you can move arrows up until it gets to 4-3
Love these videos. I look forward to them every time I log onto UA-cam and was ecstatic to see one today! Keep up the good work on those Browns.
if one of your DTs leave u should move Garrett to DT so that the DE with superstar development can play more also get a new coach and move banks or jones to OLB and make sure when sims it is 4- 3 defense
Time to let peppers walk
I love how fast it moves without gameplay
If there’s a better option for head coach, go for it. As for players I suggest bring back the core players and sign a couple of big name players.
Please keep going with this series
4-3 would be the best Defense for you to run, reason is that you have really good defensive player's...and your LB are already great...you put 1 and 1 together and you should be number 1 in defense...and will give you time for your next off-season to really put ur offensive together..
Fire O'Brian and your OC. Promote your DC to HC or just get a new HC. Probably sign a very good FS, Draft a WR or OL in the 1st, draft Larry Orr in the 3rd and move him to DT. And for the love of Jim Brown, draft or sign some top OLBs! Collins is getting old and Kirksey is a waste of cap room, maybe move him to backup MLB and move Banks at OLB. Btw I love the series! Keep up the great work Cain!
Krazy Tyler Unfortunately you can't do a coaching carousel like that, only current and free agent HC's
You can only hire Head coach , Trainer and Scout
I know guys, I'm just role playing. It is very unfortunate that you can't hire coordinators in this madden. I remember you can do that in past Maddens like Madden 08
Great series. Keep it up. More game play plz. Maybe partially watching 3-4 games a season plus playoffs even if it’s just one or two quarters
Love this series Hurricane. FIRE Bill O’Brien time for another change at HC
Where is Matt Pierre at
Gotta fire Bill and hire somebody who is hopefully a real coach but also someone who runs a 4-3 defense.
Keep this going, I love the concept and I'm not even much of a football fan.
Get a coach that runs the scheme you are signing and drafting for.
It'll pay off in simulation a lot.
Garrett will get more sacks in a 4-3 attacking.
I hate to say it but you are hurting the team using peppers as a 3rd down back. In simulation his overall just doesn't cut it.
Gordon should be cheap to keep as a 4 if you wanna offer a 1 year.
Do not franchise tag Thomas it'll be sooo much more expensive. If you want him back for a tear meet his fair offer or up the signing bonus a touch.
Your like is ok. Not great. You need a RT to be around an 85 or 86 if you can get chase there or by drafting a stud.
Love the videos keep it up. You'll get there!!!!
I'm currently watching the Jordan starks videos about to get to triple A :)
Hey cane I love watching your videos. Ive watched every almost all of your videos. A bugger fan of your main franchise series. Always get super into them. So, my question is what do I have to do to get you to be the browns next year on your main page. Its looking like were going to start turning ut around so I would really enjoy to watch you do it next year and take us on the right path
It's time to fire Bill O'Brien. Remember, with coaches the level does not matter, only the scheme does, so only pay attention to that.
GO TO SCHEMES AND SCROLL TO THE RIGHT TO CHANGE YOUR DEFENSIVE SCHEME
Fire o'Brian
DONT JUST LET JOE THOMAS RETIRE WITHOUT GETTING ANYTHING IN RETURN. IF HE COMES BACK THEN TRADE HIM TO GET SOME VALUE BEFORE HE DOES WALK AWAY AND YOU GET NOTHING
Cane, when you change the playbook at the scheme menu, I'm almost positive it changes the sim playcalling to whatever you changed it to. I know it changes the playbook for when you're calling plays.

Like Thomas I bet you could trade him right now for a 1st round pick if he comes back and draft a young replacement
The running game really hurt Shaw was 1st carries and that only put him at 15th in yards
Not sure if it's a glitch or not, but have noticed quite a bit more offensive production in Spread while in sim than any other scheme. Maybe go with that to get a few extra FG's or TD's a game? Looks to me like your current scheme runs the ball a bit to much.
YOU HAVE TO CHANGE THE ACTUAL SCHEME TO THE COACHES SCHEME! Or madden will be Dumb
U have to switch the defensive playbook because it’s Hue Jackson’s playbook
Love ya hurricane keep on rollin your work is great!

I guess Seattle really is Bruce Arian's home
Idk what scheme Hue Jackson is. But if he was a 3-4 defense then it will sim it like that because you still have his playbook. You would need to use O'Brien's playbook if you want a 4-3

Fire your coach!! Time to shake things up.
Hey what will your next rebuild series
You deserve it. You've been putting in work
My favorite series you’ve done
It is time to get rid of Bill O'Brien
Loving this, ended up doing my own and I'm in 2025.. still no Superbowl. :( Made it to the finals once. Keep up the good work!
At least you didn’t end up like one of my franchise teams I did one year. We had the 5th best offense but our defense was so bad it was ranked 33rd in the league.
Time for a new coach to take the next step!
SCHEMES!!
If it sims 3-4 switch Myles garret to outside linebacker
Jacob Cook
This!!!!
Love this series
This rebuild gives me hope as a browns fan.
Agreed
22:33 you actually gave up 38 and only scored 7 😬
Also love this series as always
Fire bill and get a high level 3-4 defensive coach like Matt henrick who is really good also get a world class trainer to reduce injury time
You need to pick up a better free safety. It'll really strengthen that defense and produce more takeaways. Also, maybe run a one back scheme instead of 2 to really let him get more xp for your back and better production out of your o-line.
Stuffed Peppers :P:P:P
I believe you need to move josh Gordon up the depth chart a little more to get him involved in the game some more.

Switch your playbook also to a more established one. Then of those changes don't start producing at the beginning of the season then make sweeping ones by maybe making a free trades since you make cap space
Please tell me I wasn't the only one that noticed the Broncos QB at 6:27
You couldn't expect the team to perform with an injured Rod Johnson. No man can.
Free Safety is a definite need.
I wish you would show more gameplay. The video is great but more gameplay videos of the players would make it feel like a real rebuild series.
Also ..when you get a new coach adjust the schemes and player roles.
Fire Bill, and I haven't played Madden since like 2013, but if you can get a new OC as well.
Hey just came across your channel really enjoy your Browns videos. It looks like you don't do any practices. It really helps to develop your peoples plus if you get gold you can sim the practices for full xp
What happened to Josh Gordon?
GrantH He went to free agency and got picked up by another team. Can't remember who.
GrantH He benched him and the offense immediately suffered
Where is matt pierre
You should change our offensive scheme the Browns run the ball like 40 times a game. It should be a passing based or balanced offense.
Josh Gordon is gonna get you TDs start him over Humphries
when this is over do a dolphins rebuild where hopefully big man ryan tannerhill doesnt get injured
I love this series but the problem about offense could just be the coach.
Fire O'Brien
