And here we go again. Looking to get people together to do an online franchise. I know of several people and what teams they want to use, but I'm getting our page started.
count me in back in not sure what team I want yet but I know I want to get put in the same division as Bad intel so we get more games in with each other.
It's almost tempting to try to get everyone into one conference so we don't have the usual 2-4 players in the NFC by themselves waiting until the playoffs to play anybody.
it not a bad idea especially for the real active players who we can count on being around to play there games. I could see putting the new people who are not full committed over on the side almost like a audition.
It's 2 games per week (Sun-Wed and Wed-Sat). Sim style and there's a spectrum of players but most are above average. It's a combo of BBI people and some other people.
It's a lot of fun and doesn't take too much time with o my playing two games per week. Comp games are quick and if need be can be sinned and most people here are easy to plan games with.
Though I'd like to stick with my Giants they are pretty highly rated and thus not likely a good idea for me to be. Right now I'm looking at one of the weaker teams and will likely end up taking the bears but will try out a bunch of teams when it comes out.
The conference stacking would be fine with me but two major drawbacks. 1. The super bowl would be pointless against a comp and the biggest game should be fun. 2. It's tough to find enough teams to interest people in one conference. I'd vote NFC if we go conference.
I missed this last year so I'm in for this year if there are any open spots. Don't really care which team I get although I wouldn't mind having the Jags. This is my GT as well.

Thanks mik. So you guys play head to head live? Why would it be two games a week? Also, what do mean by good players? If I play on All Maden, I can hang with the computer and win probably 70% using the Giants. Does that mean I'm good or would that put me more in the ordinary group?

Sorry if these questions are stupid.
Hey True, been playing in the league for a few years now.
We do play head-to-head in our human games. I.e. If you're the Giants and you play the cowboys and there is a cowboys owner you two will work out a time to play and get your game in. If you are playing a team controlled by the CPU, you can play it at any point.
We play two games a week to keep the level of interest up. Often people get their games in quickly and we want to be able to keep the league moving and avoid any luls
Good players are people who run sim style offenses, i.e. People knowledgeable of the sport. If you are beating the CPU that amount on all madden, you should do just fine.
If you're playing mostly on All Madden then you should be fine. We play sim style (so punts on 4th down, kicking field goals where appropriate, etc). We generally don't run into problems with people being dicks. It's just like playing an offline franchise (drafts and everything) but people will control some of the teams.
if you have any friends or family interested in playing let them know the more human players the better and we can stack you all in the same Division if you want.
I am going to call the Carolina panthers at this point since it looks like most are going to play in the NFC this year
for some of the new strategy stuff they supposedly put in to help micro manage your defense. At least that is how I am interpreting some stuff I've read.
Also, the goal is to start the franchise after the usual post-preseason roster update (as usual).
Take whatever team you want, we don't stick to one division. People bounce around from team to team every new madden edition. Some of us stay with our favorites.
Don't let these guys scare you. I have had a good run the last few maddens but generally all my games are close. Never blow anyone out. I have been fortunate to be on the right side of the close ones recently.
Busy and haven't checked the board much. I'm going back to my Jets regardless how much they will suck. I will miss significant amount of time as well during the first season. 4-18 Sept the 25 october-17 November I will be in Norway unable to play. After that I should be home for the foreseeable future
Wanted to post this so we can see how the league is stacking up, looks exciting so far with BTNasty and TrueBlue as the rookies in the league. I am excited for it. The AFC West has the division player battle as it sits right now.
AFC
Chargers - Colts n Bolts
Jaguars - BTNasty
Raiders - TrueBlue
Jets - Bat_Intel
NFC
Redskins - Jackson
Bears - Mik99999
49ers - PolarAsh

Graphics are improved with frostbite. Running game is more advanced and timing based. The Longshot mode is intriguing, more time spent watching so far, only about 40% through it. Should be a good season.
a couple of MUT ranked drafts tournaments won both I was in it sucks that they don't give you more tickets when you win them instead you have to buy more in the past if you won you got your tickets back so you can do more events.
Gameplay is good but I can tell you guys who like to pass and get creative on offense will be hard to stop on defense. Case in point you go with a 5 WR set you will eat up a defender in a base set of the 3-4 but if the Defender goes to a quarters defense on offense all you do is audible to a Draw play and you will gash him for 10+ yards and if you see the defense audible out of it then put your WRs on Streaks and one of the 4 will be wide open. A guy like Mik9999 who loves to learn the small quirks of the game will eat us alive with it.
Also Speed seems to be reduce so that faster players are a little less important as other skills which may be a nice change of pace since a Human can control a super fast player with no skill but turn him into a monster.
What team are you looking at? We have a list further up the forum of the taken teams
Could I be Giants? I could join tonight
They are free, so they are yours. Colts and Bolts creates the league when the regular season roster update is released.
We play very straight up football by not running up the score, not going for it on 4th downs unless it is close in the 4th, and no cpu trading. Welcome to the league.

Otherwise when the game comes out I will create the franchise and send you an invite and that's it.

That Longshot story mode looks interesting

Yes he took the Bears but they have a beast RB in Howard and he is a very run oriented offense. It will definitely be an interesting year.
It's pretty competitive, hardest opponent is Mike999999. Just start playing on all Madden with the cpu beefed up and you should be good

Colts n Bolts, did I miss anyone?
I can't think of anyone you missed WTH. Although I know Mr B is going Browns.
I like it, running the ball you cant just hit the speed button, have to pick your holes...i like it nothing crazy different

What WTH said. I will create the league whenever they put out the regular season roster update and will send out invites from there
