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.
But I just picked this year's Madden up after being away from the franchise for 5 years. If I plan on doing a solo franchise, is it better to pick Cloud or Offline? The game recommends Cloud, but I'm not currently a PS Plus subscriber and I'm a bit afraid of the consequences of a dropped connection (my ISP is rock solid, but I don't have much faith in EA's servers).

What do you guys suggest?
I always do could because it saves it online but simming through every week is quicker. It takes seconds instead of minutes. Plus online allows you to play on another system when using your gamertag.
Bucs are yours. My gamer tag is COLTS and BOLTS so just message me from your account and I will send you the league invite when I create the league later this week
It's regular rosters. I always wait for the final preseason roster update so we have accurate post training camp rosters.
The rules are just basically sim style. Play the game like you would see it on Sunday. Punting on 4th downs when appropriate (which is most 4th downs), no nano blitzes, etc. We also try to stagger first shot at the Free Agent pool when we start up so the "bad teams" get to even the score a bit.
AFC
Chargers - Colts n Bolts
Jaguars - BTNasty
Raiders - TrueBlue
Jets - Bat_Intel
Bills - JTfuoco
Browns - Mr.B
Steelers - LEGENDonthaStix
Broncos - Halosemperfi (every year he is so I am assuming he is again)
update did come out but I don't think its the official one yet I just looked at the giants but it was missing a few players that made the 53 to include shane smith, Mundy and another guy I cant think of at the moment.
we going to advance once every night until we get to the Regular season? I only ask because it wont let us build our practice squad yet and I am afraid the CPU will make some bad cuts if we sim through it. Just asking thanks
I saw your message and messaged you back. I'll send an invite tonight after I get home from work (just not sure if it'll before or after the Chargers game). I will advance the league to preseason week 2 tonight. Goal is to start the regular season on Wednesday night so make sure your roster is down to 52 players before then.
For all the new people, the schedule is generally that we will advance on Wednesday and Saturday nights. You have the time in between to get your game in so it is always beneficial to look ahead to see if you play a person so you can coordinate a time to play.
Is the group messenger app for your phone that some leagues use for league interaction. You can post the schedule, DM the person you play, post league rules and upcoming events. There is also a calendar feature. You can also change your name to the team you play with so everyone knows who they are playing. It is used for a league I play in and its a great fit that keeps users plugged in to the league. I took the liberty of creating one for our league to beta it if you guys would like. If so download the GroupMe app and add me then I will invite you in and show you around.
Lpuck is my user name.
Also Side note, the Bucs guy and I are going to play tonight. We tried last night and he is having internet problems so hopefully it will be straightened out and we will get it in today.

It was one of the most crazy games you could ever watch. It had a little bit of everything. to include a illegal touching penalty on a TD pass, a blocked FG, crazy fumbles, ball carries falling down on the 1 but given a touchdown with no time left.
To sum it up the dolphins were down by 14 with 35 seconds left on there own 40 yard line I was about to give up and pass to a guy on a slant to see how well it works on deep coverage for future games when I saw a guys streaking with a few steps on his CB so after a bomb for a completion Miami was stopped on the 1 so had to use a timeout and was able to score the next play with no time left I went for and got the on sides and somehow it was recovered with only a few seconds left so I throw a hail mary into the end zone and the colts where called for pass interference with the ball on the 1 with no time I attempt a Qb sneak but he falls straight down thinking the game was over I throw the remote but he is given credit for TD.
I see what has happen and I am scrambling to find the batteries that flew out of the controller to kick the extra point while Bolts wants to challenge the call but cant because it was under 2 mins.
In overtime I slowly drive the ball to his 10 yard line and kick a FG with only 18 seconds left on the clock and with no time outs he throws to quick outs with his WRs breaking game ending tackles trying to get out of bounds and with no time left he kicks a 57 yard FG to tie the game back up.
The game was close for the most part but in no way should this game ended in a tie for me everything that could possible go right for me did. Maybe it was a makeup for the last playoff game that we played in which I had a epic meltdown in the 4th. Anyways I am sure he is looking forward to the rematch.
Played the new Bucs guy last night. Looks like we have another solid league member. Good player, game was back and forth the whole way. Really enjoyed it. Took a game winning td pass with like 15 seconds left for me to get the W
Hi Halo, Are we up? Let me know when is good for you. I'll for sure fit in our game tomorrow at the latest, I might be around later tonight. i'm on the east coast btw.

We are in preseason week one some people have played their games but most of the league has just signed in nothing has been advanced yet.
For all the new people, the schedule is generally that we will advance on Wednesday and Saturday nights. You have the time in between to get your game in so it is always beneficial to look ahead to see if you play a person so you can coordinate a time to play.
No what is that?
