We do one every year and I’m a bit later than usual for the post to start getting people who want to join. Please post if you want to join the franchise, your Gamertag, and what team(s) you would be interested in.
We are waiting for Polar to make his cuts which likely wont get done until tomorrow.... So assuming it is simmed forward tomorrow night at some point what days/times can you play. I know you are east coast and I am west so I want to get a feel for your availability to see if we can make it work.
Available most evenings during the week. What am I 2 or 3 hours ahead of you? I can usually stay up a bit better on tuesdays thursdays but I can make Most nights work. Some mornings I’m available too.
With the new Jags owner. Back and forth game, needing a late drive and two point conversion to take it into overtime where I got a pick and great field position to escape with a victory. It was alot of fun.
If people are looking to stockpile some picks or make trades hit me up as I'm always down to trade. QB, OL, Lb, could use any of them. Will entertain any offer.

Like trying to trade your entire draft for Aaron Rodgers

Just had a big trade between bad intel and I. I shipped out Malik Jackson and Leonard Fournette for Tyrod Taylor, as well as a 1st 2nd and a 3rd. That being said, still looking for some line help and or more picks. Willing to trade some of my recievers other than Cole and Chark if anyone is interested.
How are these trades getting accepted? Draft picks dont have crazy value on Madden like they do in real life.
Malik Jackson and Fournette for an average(but fast) qb and three picks?
Jalen Ramsey and a 3rd for two rookie corners and a 1st? Ramsey is one of the most valuable defensive players in the game, and he goes for two corners not nearly as good and a jump of two rounds?
Then the Eric Berry trade makes no sense either. Dude is a legit stud safety and basically went for scraps.
I just don't understand the logic in these trades, the Jags were built to win a championship, with their D I imagine I could hold any human player to 10 or less, and you traded away your best player and a real good Dlineman. The Chiefs dont havce a ton of talent in the back end and you trade a Beast safety? Safeties are important especially when you are weak elsewhere as they help in the running and passing game.
Didn’t fit how I wanted to run the ball and tyrod was an immediate upgrade over bottles with his mobility. I like Malik but I have Dareus and I wanted to get Tavan Bryan some XP and playing time. He was their first rounder this year.
As far as Ramsey he plays corner for me. ya that was tough to give him up I really didn’t want to. But when I substitute him in for a player with Star and another with quick they will be great together. And I just shut out the pats with those corners.
As far as the draft. I love the draft. Hitting on potential young studs is a blast. This year it’s a little harder to find these players I think, but I’m other franchises I still find plenty of studs to start for me. I have 5 first round picks now.
For you maybe it isn’t worth it , that’s fine. For what I want to run on offense and defense I think it worked out great for me. I assume this is a league that’ll continue at least a few seasons which should make it worth it.
While I still believe you got hosed in the deals, I do appreciate that you had a well thought out reason for doing what you did. Time will tell on whether it was a smart decision. I really enjoyed our first game and definitely look forward to our next matchup.
Also if you want another first round pick I'd give you mine in a package for Bouye
I know some people view draft picks as depth players and that's it. Others want then to rebuild. Both parties agreed and it happened. Yes the trade for Ramsey was hard for both us to do it, I didn't want to give up both corners but sacrifices were made. To get Berry at his age cost more than I wanted to give up but i did. I understand your frustrations in seeing trades happen and having a difference of opinion. I am willing to chat trades with you but we gotta be willing to do it besides giving up a bunch of picks at the end of rounds for franchise type players.
I don't mind trades at all. I welcome them. And asking about Rodgers was more tongue n cheek because of the deals that were going down. Austin would literally shit an entire brick if I got Rodgers. Out of curiosity what was difficult to give up for the 96 Overall, 90 Spd, Hard Hitting(86) Safety, who is better in Coverage(91,95) than almost every corner in the game, who also somehow got a 90 injury Rating?
Clay Mathews who is slightly above average at best at this point? A 1st round pick in NEXT seasons draft? I dont remember the entire trade but those were the key pieces I remember. The Chiefs who Lber is arguably their best position with Houston, Ragland, Hitchens, Ford. Hell Hitchens who I would argue is their third Best Lber has almost identical stats to Mathews. So a team without any talent at all in the secondary traded now after looking at his stats one of the best players in the entire game for a player who doesn't even really improve his team, a Pick in next years draft, and whatever the other guy was?
So the problem isn't that I or anyone else doesn't like trades, I love trades. The Trades/Draft/FA are arguably the best part of the franchises. But when you see top notch players getting traded for far less then they are worth it makes you wonder many things. Is it an experienced player taking advantage of a non experienced player? Is it just one guy not knowing what things are important in Madden? Is it Collusion? While I'm not going to make any accusations those things cross your mind when you see trades like that one.
Maybe I am completely off base in my assessment of value in Madden. And at least the Jags guy had logic and reasoning behind his deals(whether I agree or not). Just think the fact that there have been three trades so far. 1 involving a top 3 safety in the league, one the top corner, and one a top 5 or so RB(with a real good DT) and the combined returns to the trading teams were 1 old mid 80's rated player, 1 average(but fast) QB and a bunch of picks/Rookies, etc is why I commented in the first place.
Malik is 28 with I’m pretty sure one year left on his deal. So I wasn’t keeping him. I’m now also able to put bouye as my FS who is an awesome fit there, along with two good young corners that I wouldn’t have been able to do that before because then it was just Ramsey and Hayden. Obv Ramsey is irreplaceable. But 4 first round picks. 2 seconds this year. That’s fun. Unless I fuck up the draft

I see your point and with JermDog I have helped him over the last 2 years see the importance of Madden ratings outside speed. I know the Rodger trade was a joke and not serious. We all had plans and sacrificed, what trade would you like to see happen?
Three picks on crossing routes where I had at least two steps and they still accelerate and pic. It's going to be a long year. Plus that was my second game in this year's madden
looks like there has been a lot of trading which you don't see very often especially this early in a madden season. I cant explain it but for some reason I just cant get into madden this year. I still plan on playing and maybe it will click later in the year for me but the game feels stale maybe its just me and once I start playing humans that will change for me.
with injury bug last game as well lost 4 players for multiple weeks to include Lamar Jackson so I had to retool my lineup and make a few hard cuts to get room for a backup QB and Safety help as I was down to only 3 on the roster. If anybody is interested in LB help I most of mine are on the market I just have to many but they are talented so I hate to cut I wont ask for much I just want a fast FB for my scheme.
