Seattle Seahawks — Madden NFL 17 eGuide

QB Russell Wilson has proven his position as the leader of the Seahawks’ offense. Make sure you set a budget to keep him as long as you can.
HB Thomas Rawls has taken the top spot as the number one back. He still needs a lot of work to be worthy of keeping his position, but unless you spend some time upgrading him, you may need to sign someone soon.
The Seattle receiving corps is built around solid talent, but the true superstar is the newly acquired TE Jimmy Graham.

There are so many combinations to rush the passer for Seattle that it makes it nearly impossible for offensive teams to match up.
Make sure that Bobby Wagner is anchoring the defense on every snap, and Ahtyaba Rubin should be in to rush anytime a pass is suspected.
The Seattle defense is the perfect blend of size and speed to shut down all the playmakers in the NFC.

Wilson is an excellent passer from short to medium range, so focus on this when calling your plays for him and your scheme.
Russell Wilson has great power, but it might be better used if thrown as a sharp pass over the top.

If an opponent is looking to utilize the high-point throw, quickly shut them down with the 6’3” Sherman.
Sherman is an amazing defender who can read plays quickly with his 90 Play Recognition.

Groom Brooks to become a starting back as there is now a spot open for someone to step up and excel,.Why not make it the young rookie?
Brooks’ Speed and Acceleration ratings are decent. Focus on upgrading his Carry rating and turn him into a fast back.

There are many opportunities to see a new HB emerge as the main ball carrier, but don’t overlook guys like Michael because he has the skills to keep up.
Calling the right play and getting Michael across the line will likely result in some major yardage.
