NFT: Xbox One Madden 17 Online Franchise

COLTS and BOLTS : 8/6/2016 11:41 pm
It's that time of year again. Just pre-ordered the game tonight, and wanted to see what interest there is this year. We didn't get a ton of people last year to start off with. Hopefully we can get more this year.

We usually start right when the real NFL season starts because of the final roster update for the end of preseason.

Also, I'm going to take my home team and be the Chargers

Due to angst here and from Vortex and Colts I better keep the Giants and leave the Raiders with you. Sorry about that man.


Ok
I think we start the league next weekend at the earliest.  
Bad_intel99 : 8/27/2016 8:19 am : link
There will be some roster changes and gives guys some time to play and get use to the game. I haven't even played a game yet. Also we are taking one last road trip before school starts so I won't be able to play from Wednesday until Saturday next week

COLTS and BOLTS : 8/29/2016 11:50 am : link
I also think I am going to switch teams to the Vikings
colts  
jtfuoco : 8/29/2016 12:11 pm : link
not sure if you have it recorded but I will most likely take the Titans
jt  
COLTS and BOLTS : 8/29/2016 6:43 pm : link
I'm not writing down who has what, but I don't remember you saying who you wanted. So Titans it is for you.
And switching back

I've been playing better using the Chargers online, so I will just go back to using them haha...until my next bad set of games

It has changed a lot wait until you get into the Franchise mode it is way better then the other maddens in my opinion I love the addition of the 10 man practice squad its about time we have only been asking for it for the past 5 years.

COLTS and BOLTS : 8/31/2016 7:31 pm : link
Anyone else settled on their teams yet?
I still haven't played a game  
Bad_intel99 : 9/1/2016 4:40 am : link
But will stick with the Cowboys even with Homo probably not on the roster...JT I know you can only see out of one eye but hop over to the NFC east. Austin too.
I'm definite on raiders.  
RicFlair : 9/1/2016 11:32 am : link
we should be getting a roster update soon right?
also  
RicFlair : 9/1/2016 11:37 am : link
question: will the commentary updates be in the cloud franchises or would you have to start a new one to hear the new commentary?


might be a good enough reason to go cloud franchise instead of offline.
Any spots left open?  
OBJ_AllDay : 9/3/2016 3:26 am : link

Free agents  
Bad_intel99 : 9/3/2016 5:57 am : link
How they going to work? Some one may not be around when Austin starts the league and others may have free grabs on them
FA  
jtfuoco : 9/3/2016 6:34 pm : link
issue is a good question there is only one guy I want and if he is not picked up during the preseason he get removed from the game since the CPU only keeps a smaller number of guys on the FA list during the regular season. Of course the player I want is RB Ross Scheuerman who I developed last year to be a stud to run my wildcat offense
When  
RicFlair : 9/3/2016 6:48 pm : link
When do we expect the next roster update?
Start time  
Bad_intel99 : 9/4/2016 1:18 pm : link
Austin when we kicking this off
First game  
Bad_intel99 : 9/4/2016 2:25 pm : link
Just 0layed my first game and learned 8 can't run or kick. Definitely need some practice
So  
jtfuoco : 9/6/2016 9:41 am : link
The update should be out tonight or tomorrow at the most so this thing should be getting started soon.

I hope so, I'm waiting to start my own franchise again too, is there someplace you read that the update should be out tonight or tomorrow, or is this just from past experience?
Ready to go.  
Anando : 9/6/2016 12:13 pm : link
Have not done this before, so pls lemme know what info to provide.

Sorry been gone most of the weekend  
COLTS and BOLTS : 9/6/2016 12:25 pm : link
Yes there are still open spots in the league.

I haven't heard anything officially, but I'm sure the roster will update at some point this week. Assuming it does, the plan will be to start first games on Sunday so we can do our normal plan of one game Sunday-Wednesday, and then another from Wednesday-Saturday/Sunday.

FA plan - The fairest way we have always done it are that teams in the 70s overall rating get to go first, and they can pick 3. Then teams in the 80s go and can pick 2. Then teams in the 90s, and they can pick 1. If the roster updates before Thursday, then we can go 70s on Thursday, 80s on Friday, and 90s on Saturday. FA is open after that to whomever.
If there  
MotownGIANTS : 9/6/2016 12:25 pm : link
are any openings I'd like to join.

Preseason  
COLTS and BOLTS : 9/6/2016 12:26 pm : link
Yes we are going to play it. Since the game now has practice squad and stuff like that, it seems more important than in years past.
Colts  
mik999999 : 9/6/2016 12:28 pm : link
Can you put together a team list with the ones taken on there for the new guys trying to join up? Also I'm glad I will be able to pick up a few FA this year as the Giants have a ton of holes and when I started a Franchise we were rated in the 70's.

Do you have a list of teams that you would prefer?

I know these teams are taken:

Chargers, Raiders, Broncos, Texans, Jags, Titans, Bills, Giants, Cowboys, Cardinals, Rams, and Seahawks.

If I've missed any claimed teams then let me know to the rest of you.

Broncos it is. Thanks
Colts and bolts  
Bad_intel99 : 9/7/2016 2:28 pm : link
I think before you start the league you throw up who is what team and the start ratings so there is no confusion. Also I would specify which time zone since some of you are on the west coast and some on the east and me in spain. My day starts 9 hours before yours does.

Oh and I suck at this game.

Is anyone else having issues with thier. Related playbooks not importing properly when they play head to head games

Cool. I'm sorry if I missed it but are you doing a draft or are you going with the existing rosters?
Existing rosters  
Bad_intel99 : 9/9/2016 4:10 am : link
That's what we are waiting for, the final update. Then a FA period starting with the lower ranked teams and moving up. Even each I think. Colts and bolts will put out directions
