What are SJ Franchises...Threads, Stories, Sub-Forums?

I heard many people ask what is a franchise thread or a franchise story, so I'm here to answer just the question. A franchise thread or franchise story is a way for the writer to explain and detail all transactions and day to day operations of the sports team they selected to play with in the Franchise Mode (Madden, etc.).

I selected the Buffalo Bills, created a storyline where I fired my coaches, hired new coaches, evaluated the contracts and players and made decisions on short term or long term deals. Signed free agents and drafted players but all of the storyline is created from my mind, none of it is real and all players are created by Madden.

Of course, all sports can be used for franchise threads. Pick your sport and team, be creative and build your own storyline then post it here and get ready to read all the wonderful replies. I've seen a New York Yankees Franchise Story and a Los Angeles Franchise Story so any sport will do. I would like to challenge our MLB and NBA fans to try and be as creative as their NFL counterparts!

Well said, Reaper.

And your franchise doesn't have to revolve around just one team. Oh hell no! You can choose more than one if desired. Like my franchise, I chose 8 teams and it's been going great. It's a lot of work, but the positive comments and appeciation makes it worth while.
