New Offical APF 2k8 Xbox 360 League Thread: Here comes the rain again!

i had an idea that i scrapped but maybe it would work. what do you guys think about starting the draft right now here on the forums? it would likely be done by monday so long as everyone checked in regularly to pick!
 
Alright, here is what's going to happen:

We will draft Round 1 on the forums, if all goes well we will do the rest like this. If there are problems, then rounds 2-11 will stay on AIM for sunday

REMEMBER!

* 2 golds, 3 silvers, 6 bronze
* PLEASE PICK ALL AVAILABLE LEGENDS IN THE GAME BEFORE USING ANYONE FROM A CREATED PLAYER LIST!
* we will discuss the created players list when we get closer to using up all legends
* PLEASE pick in a timely fashion! everyone is depending on YOU to pick so the round can progress.
* If you see anyone around who is in the league, please notify them that round 1 is happening now.
* I will TRY to keep an updated list of who has been drafted. i can't seem to find a comprehensive list online that shows all the players and tiers. so for now, pleasae reference the game itself or ask here when you are picking to make sure it is a gold/silver/bronze player. although, for the first round i dont think it matters cause everyone is picking gold and knows who they want.


Aka, you're up buddy.

it is 32. you and sickboy are picking last in the first 3 rounds. so it will go 1-32, 30-1, 31, 32, 1-32, 32-1, etc.

i talked with vump about it and we don't want to dillute the talent pool too much, but sickboy has always been a reliable player and enron deserves the chance to become a regular league player if he wants, so i extended the league to 32 players. direct all hate comments towards me fellas!

cool!

Why not just have the whole thing snake from 1-32, 32-1? I mean, not like it really matters since everyone will have the same amount of gold/silver/bronze guys, but it just seems more complicated than need be this way.

Fmt,how are Dm,Rors and Malley in the league without working 360's?

I would have put my name in the list/draft to play,as I plan on getting the game as soon as I get my 360 back.
 
dm is getting one tomorrow, rors said he will have his back on monday (when the league starts), malley said to put his name in and if he doesn't have one by then to replace him. there will likely be an open spot since i have no clue where duce22 is and he didnt respond to my XBL reply

because the 32nd pick is actually a really good pick because you'd have back to back. considering you guys were a little late on reporting into this thread i can't really punish #29 and 30 who should have had the first 2 picks in the 2nd round. i try to be as fair as possible and i wish you guys had said something earlier, but im trying to make the best of it.

Don't really care about draft order, but wondering who the additional golds are (I see a post earlier pointing to Bo Jackson, LT and Deion Sanders, but that was back at the 30-team league).

As for the first part of that sentence, I suppose I am concerned about draft order if it means I get stuck with an unwieldy pair -- like two QBs or two HBs or something...

I'd also like to think that we'll get the benefit of having the order improved in our advantage in the case of dropouts (which I still somewhat expect)

Dm is buying another 360,you talk him into that? :p

Well hopefully my repair rep will contact me or ill call him back bitch at him to send me my 360 NOW! No way im waiting another 4-6 weeks,ill contact BBB and have them deal with MS.

If Duce isnt around ill take his draft place and if I dont have a 360 in time,you can bring mr.sparkle back till I get my system.

That list isn't the real list. That's a "fantasy" list.

Your place in the draft isn't too bad since you get 2 picks at 32. The worst is being in the middle.

I wasn't referring to the big list, but FMT's post (below)... as for the 2 picks.. I get picks 32 and 64. Not so great... but I'm not complaining.

guys the 3 Gold Players that will be added to the draft list are Bo Jackson, Deion Sanders, and Lawrence taylor. we don't need anymore gold suggestions, or silver. we need bronze type players to get to 330.


I think the game is short a few golds for a league without duplication

If You Can't Beat 'Em, Talk Shit About 'Em
If we run out of golds we will use Created Players. We haven't fully nailed out the official statement on what will be used in the league as far as created players goes but FMT will have an announcement as we get to the end of the 2nd round.
 
dont worry about created players right now guys, lets just get through the first round.

where is zep! pick rod woodson i know you are going to anyways!

Hello, I'm your dedicated fight agent. I won't actually be doing anything, but I'm gonna pm you every day to make sure that I remind you that I'm not doing anything. I'll talk down to you in a condescending voice like if you're 5 years old and you just broke your GI Joe. Don't bother trying to PM me, though, because my box is full.

Yeah, it's hard picking when you don't know what you're comfortable with.
