Franchise Mode: Creating a Chiefs Dynasty

Game Planning to Play Against the Chiefs
Defeating the Chiefs requires specific game plans. First, I always try to apply some pressure to Mahomes via different blitz schemes—with an effort not to allow deep routes. Secondly, I attempt to lower the Chiefs’ number of possessions by doing a lot of running plays to control the clock, while not risking a turnover to a superior offense. Third, I user-control my safety to take Travis Kelce away from the middle of the field. Fourth, I use aggressive press-cov-erage against the outside receivers to disrupt their timing and routes. Ultimately, even with well-thought-out planning and player management, winning against a competent user of the Chiefs is the greatest challenge in playing Madden.
Ultimate Team: Chiefs Themed Teams
Madden Ultimate Team participants regularly construct themed teams centered around the Chiefs’ previous and current stars, including players from the franchise’s history.

It is impressive how a franchise with such a long history provides a plethora of options at every position.
