NFT: Madden 18 Online Franchise Xbox One

COLTS and BOLTS : 8/9/2017 4:22 pm
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.

I will be the Chargers again.

Waiting for Adder to play Crick and we can advance  
COLTS and BOLTS : 12/23/2017 1:55 pm : link
Otherwise I will do it tonight.

Also Halo (Broncos) quit the league this morning after I beat him by converting a 4th down with 1:30 left up 1 point because I didn’t want him to have the ball. Bitches always gonna quit.

I will advance this afternoon if I dont hear from Crick he has gone quite the past day or two most likely because of holiday events
He should have  
Bad_intel99 : 12/24/2017 6:40 am : link
Traded me his picks before he left.

On a side not, I'm having significant difficulty with my custom playbooks. My shotgun formations won't load with my playbook when I load it

Are you serious about this? I’m surprised he’d give a crap considering the way he played against me. This guys was in hurry up early 1st quarter and hit sticking up 21 late in the 4th. I play head to head in the pits all the time so it’s not like he hurt my tender Madden pride but I didn’t think it was that kind of league. What a wuss.
True blue and JT/Intel  
COLTS and BOLTS : 12/24/2017 3:53 pm : link
Trueblue - that is what happened. He was never good at losing and had it in his head that our rules say you can never go for it on 4th. I elected to take a gamble on 4th and 1 on my 30 with less than 2 minutes to go. I converted it to win and he got butthurt and quit the game and the league.

Intel/JT - check your other formations. I couldn’t figure out why I couldn’t find my 5 wide formations in my custom playbook for the past season and just realized it was because they were part of the Hail Mary formations. Go figure.
C&B  
trueblueinpw : 12/24/2017 3:59 pm : link
Glad you beat him and chased him away, he’s in my division and I just got smoked by that guy for the 2nd time.
Playbooks  
Bad_intel99 : 12/24/2017 9:04 pm : link
So after so tinkering around I found out if you delete all the plays from a formation from the original playbook you use, that formation won't so up in your playbook.. Sorry for the multiple restarts but I have been trying to figure this out.
True blue  
COLTS and BOLTS : 12/25/2017 1:41 am : link
I’m still in your division so we at least each have someone to play in the division
Merry Christmas  
Bad_intel99 : 12/25/2017 4:27 am : link
Everyone... Im sure halo will come back eventually. We should look for more players as well. I think next year's madden we drop a message on reddit to see if there are any takers
I will advance

I just got back into madden this year after a decade hiatus  
LatHarv83 : 12/30/2017 11:51 am : link
So I don’t know the answer to any of these questions and hope someone can answer them for me. Thanks in advance

1. What happens with the roster updates after week 17 for online play? Will injured players become available again?

2. What happens in the offseason? Do rosters get updated on madden 18 when free agent signings happen or do you have to wait for 19?
my experience  
jtfuoco : 12/30/2017 5:47 pm : link
with madden they dont really support madden once the season is over they leave a few guys to update MUT and some basic game support but most of the team moves over to work on Madden 19.

COLTS and BOLTS : 1/4/2018 12:40 pm : link
to make it on to check for advances once or twice a week, but I've been bad at it the last couple weeks. So thanks JT for picking it up for me.

How's everybody enjoying their rookies? I'm really enjoying the new QB on my team.
I really like  
jtfuoco : 1/4/2018 2:56 pm : link
my team the offense has been stagnated but my defense has been on fire with 4 pick 6s so far, think I only had 2 all of last season.
My offensive rookiea  
WTH_Jackson : 1/4/2018 5:55 pm : link
Are paying off by helping solidfy my o line and passing game but injuries hurt my defense and running game once agaib
My QB  
Bad_intel99 : 1/5/2018 5:24 am : link
Kept having small injuries so I had to spend xp to raise his inj rating which is 99 now. He will probably lead. Y team is rushing as well. My other rookies are doing OK. Still haven't found a playbook I like
Injuries  
Bad_intel99 : 1/6/2018 3:25 pm : link
Are ridiculous. It's to the point where it's making the game annoying. At one time against the Patriots my whole starting line was out. My top three FAs this off are all injured. My rookie Qb despite a 99 injury rating gets hurt every game for a quarter or so. It isn't realistic or even if it is, it's annoying
Rookies and injuries and fumbles are killing me  
trueblueinpw : 1/6/2018 6:25 pm : link
I still can’t figure out who my number 1 pick is and if the cpu drafted me an impact player I haven’t found him. As far as injuries, for the past 5 games I’ve lost my top rated player for at least 4 weeks. The other thing that’s been killing me is fumbles. I’ve lost a few game changer even when I was covering up. I fucking suck and this has been a cursed season so I’m glad others hurting too.
Trueblue  
COLTS and BOLTS : 1/6/2018 8:56 pm : link
When we played our game I lost 3 OL when I was already missing my starting LT. I played the 2nd half with a 60 overall 3rd string LT and a backup RT playing C. I was shocked I ever had any time to throw or run the ball.
I checked  
jtfuoco : 1/7/2018 4:31 pm : link
Injuries there has been no changed its sitting at 50 just like all the other modifiers it must be just a bad couple of weeks since i have only lost one player these past two weeks
I wouldn't be opposed  
Bad_intel99 : 1/8/2018 2:23 am : link
To moving that slider for less injuries. One of the best parts of franchise is developing players. With the amount of injuries and their frequency, it's hard to do.

On a side note, trade deadline is approaching and still have several players I'm willing to move
Guys  
jtfuoco : 1/8/2018 12:01 pm : link
would anybody be interested in opening up CPU trading for players only not Draft picks. This is starting to look like we only have a season or two left with this madden since we have already lost 70% of the human players.

What do you guys think it would be interesting watching the Arms race for owners trying to get the best teams with massive trades just and idea I wanted to float.
We would have  
Bad_intel99 : 1/8/2018 2:14 pm : link
To figure out a fair way to let everyone have a shit at who they wanted to grab. Set a time when you open up CPU trading so people know to be online and try to swing it. I still like my idea of how to trade up for draft picks
If we open  
WTH_Jackson : 1/8/2018 7:01 pm : link
Trading for players it should be for only 1 week in the league (i.e. week 7 only). Draft picks from CPU would definitely be off limits, but we can use our picks to trade away.

I would set a limit to amount of trades that can be done, like 3 is my input. It still allows us to get better and create some intrigue but also not take everyone from the CPU.
I agree with WTH  
COLTS and BOLTS : 1/8/2018 7:47 pm : link
If we decide to do this, we need to make sure it's limited and only happens once so we don't have constant pilfering of cpu teams. I also agree with Intel that it should be at a set time so everybody has a fair shot.
So then  
WTH_Jackson : 1/8/2018 8:39 pm : link
When does it work for everyone to do this?

Any night around 9pm pst works for me. I know we all live is different time zones so it can be difficult.
I think  
WTH_Jackson : 1/8/2018 10:20 pm : link
It should be for a 24 hour period with a 3 trade limit. It allows the time difference to be accounted for as well as limits overpowering
Time  
Bad_intel99 : 1/9/2018 12:48 am : link
Like normal, just let me know when and I'll make it work
anytime  
jtfuoco : 1/9/2018 10:14 am : link
works for me just pick a time colts and bolts
We need to ensure  
Bad_intel99 : 1/9/2018 12:40 pm : link
The raiders, giants and Green bay guys know about it as well. Not sure how regularly they check this. Raiders guy does but not sure about the other two..

Also have we thought about inveting some of the old guys like mighty, uconn etc back in

That's why I feel like if we do it for a Sim week with 3 trades max work best for everyone's schedule.
Friday night  
Bad_intel99 : 1/10/2018 12:08 am : link
Should work. Austin pick a time and lay out the rules as you see them and I will message the guys on Xbox live to ensure they get the message.
So is it no ore than three trades or no more than three players to be traded?
You can add your picks but no CPU pucks.
I would say  
WTH_Jackson : 1/10/2018 12:23 am : link
3 player's reecieved.otherwise you can bundle and get 4 to 6 players in 3 trades.
My season is so fucked this trade thing can only help

I'm up for trading for up to four players and no picks. Friday night or even Thursday night since all games are done.

That sounds good to me. I still think one Sim week is best for time frame
Thoughts  
COLTS and BOLTS : 1/10/2018 7:59 pm : link
I would say we should do it as trade for no more than 3 players. Cannot trade for picks. You can use your own picks. You cannot trade for rookies off CPU teams so they still have good pieces, and only one player with a rating of higher than 90 overall. I think that helps keeps things a bit more spread out and even.

Also, let me message the 49ers guy. He is more of a straight up player and might hate the idea of the trades so I want to at least give him a chance for input first.

I like this trading guideline. #betterthanmrgoodell
Rules of the Trade  
Bad_intel99 : 1/11/2018 1:24 pm : link
1. No more than 3 players
2. Cannot trade for CPU picks
3. Allowed to use picks to trade to the CPU.
4. Only allowed to trade for one player with an overall rating greater than 90.
5. Not allowed to trade for CPU rookies.


I think I got them all. If there is something I missed, let me know. Also, I wouldn't be opposed to allowing for one CPU rookie to be involved.

I think CPU rookies should stay off limits.
Intel  
COLTS and BOLTS : 1/11/2018 5:29 pm : link
Those are all the rules.

And I still say no CPU rookies. It's easy enough to beat up on the CPU without taking away all their best players.

Should we set the time for tomorrow (Friday) night at 9pm PST to open it up? Then advance again on Monday night?

Any chance we can open it up tonight? I got plans tomorrow night and wont be around.
Time for trading  
Bad_intel99 : 1/12/2018 12:04 am : link
It probably can't happen tonight as some haven't acknowledged it yet. Austin your call in the time just let everyone know
Colts n Bolts  
WTH_Jackson : 1/12/2018 1:12 am : link
Just informed me to let everyone know that the trading window is open. Please abide by the rules stated early in the forum
So I messed up  
Bad_intel99 : 1/12/2018 8:30 am : link
And took berry and Peterson both greater than 90. I will trade one back and it will probably cost me more to do it
