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.
A heads up I will play my game tonight but will have to go on autopilot for the week I am heading to Monterey CA to see the wife's family wont be back to the following Tuesday
played my game so Alex I think we are up with the next advance. Looking over the Franchise it looks like we are starting to take our normal number of drop outs already. Its amazing how many people cant handle this schedule of just two games a week or get mad at other owners for play style its just a game that is played sim style with no trash talking its not like your dealing with the dredge you find on the online ranked games or on MUT.

I notice some of you guys have the headset icon when we play. Does this mean you talk to your opponent during the game? What sort of head are you using?
Do you find playing a franchise as the Giants in Madden more fun when the real-life team is good, or bad?
I actually kind of prefer the latter -- it gives me some odd sense of control and retribution. For example, after week 2 I fired up a new franchise, created a custom coach to replace McAdoo, cut Ereck Flowers and John Jerry, promoted both Webb and Gallman to starters to develop them (they seem to develop really well), and featured the shit out of Engram in my offense. I then had my first draft and took a plethora of OL and LB'ers, something the real life Giants would never, ever do (though I didn't get the last laugh -- none of the rookies were really all that good). I then traded Eli to get the Jets' 2019 2nd and 5th round picks.
BTW, Gallman really does seem to be good in the game. His truck move is very effective, almost glitchingly so in some of my runs.
My headset is usually on because I'm in a party talking to other friends while I play my game. Can't speak for others, but that's almost always the case with mine.

That is the one nice thing about madden is doing things with the Giants that you know the organization will never do. However I am usually frustrated with the Giants in Madden in that the players seem to be under rated every year especially Manning even after wining super bowls he was never rated higher then 85.

I initially thought that this year as well, prior to the season starting: "What?? Why are the Giants as a team only rated at 83? Why are their best players outside of Beckham and Collins so poorly-rated?"
No, but I can't commit to playing a game on a schedule.
Plus, I suck.
I hear ya on the schedule thing. A good thing about this league is what you're able to learn from other players in h2h. If you ever get some free time, we do around 2 games a week.
Is simply that I'm still getting used to the PS4 controller. I can't control my player (especially my running back or defenders) with the precision that would be useful in so many situations.
I've got an XBox controller for my PC and I feel that its stick is much more precise. The PS4 stick seems to be longer, making short and precise movement a bit trickier.
Well since you're on ps4, and we're and xbox league.
hit the practice up if you aren't doing that. When i just use games as my way of getting reps i struggle, if i use the practice i'm more precise on my timing.

Sucking has never stopped Crick from playing lol. but its a fun league if you do find the time especially the offseason when the bidding wars start for FA and people stealing your picks in the draft.

Manning was rated a 93ovr in Madden 09
A 97ovr in Madden 13
A 91ovr in Madden 25
Wow they had him once as a 97 I don't remember that year and to be honest I didn't really start playing madden again until the online franchise came out not sure what year that was maybe 2012?
I notice some of you guys have the headset icon when we play. Does this mean you talk to your opponent during the game? What sort of head are you using?
it does I use the cheap 12 dollar headset that you find at Walmart since my really nice one broke several months ago

Seem to be weirdly unbalanced in the rain is over effective causing more injuries and bad throws, back to back games it has screwed me and bring about bad injuries

Tell me about it I play in Miami and its like a perpetual Hurricane down there every home game is in a downpour

Nice. I’ll get wired up ASAP.
trueblue we keep missing each other for our game but I will be on all night tonight if you can get on to play.
Sorry about not being able to link up. I'm playing single dad while my wife is in the states and my routine is all jacked up. Of we can't get it in Austin can sim it. I'm available for the next few hours though
On a side not, after a solid game against the dolphins, kapernick throws 3 picks and fumbles twice
I'll hate this league if i lose to you this year.
btw, does that count as trash talk?

Turns out they were generous.
