With the release of Madden only a few days away, I'm curious to see what team(s) you guys are planning on playing with this year. It seems most years, when I hop online to play some games, most players are using the top three or four teams, but I know not everyone is willing to just play with the top teams.

For the past few years, I have only played online games with the San Francisco 49ers, but I may be switching to the hometown Cleveland Browns this year. I am not a big passing guy and with Mike Martz running the Niner offense, the number of plays for me to run are going to be limited. The Browns could provide me with my first contender team in Madden since the franchise went Next Gen.  The offense is loaded with weapons and the defense should be much improved with the additions of Corey Williams and Shaun Rodgers on the D-line. 

With Brett Faver now a Jet, I?m sure there will be a lot of people playing with the Jets as well. I know that I am going to try them out!

Let everyone know who you are planning on using in Madden 09 by commenting in this blog. I know I will be looking for as many games as possible against you Steeler fans with the Browns this year.  What is the team that you look forward to beating the most in Madden 09.
