Official Madden '13 Xbox 360 Online Franchise Thread: A chance to develop a dynasty!

I'm not making any trades until I see my roster and review my final cap situation. Once we've started feel free to make me an offer and we can go there.
That's the spirit!
I can't help it! This is who I am!
I just try to make trades that I think will make the game more enjoyable to play, personally.
I just tried to Russell and he fumbled on three straight plays...
I mean that's fine, I'm not saying don't trade. Trades happen, trades are important. There's nothing wrong with trades. I think all my time reading baseball analysis and what not has taught me about understanding value appropriately.
I remember reading something about the importance of 1 win upgrades for various teams and so it should sort of dictate how much teams are willing to spend.
This is kind of how I view this league, there are 4 tiers:
Tier 1, the elites. These guys already have some combination of elite stick skills and elite Madden rosters. For them the upside of adding another elite player is giving them that marginal advantage over one of the other 3-4 guys in this tier who they'll likely face in the CCG and Super Bowl. They should absolutely try to acquire elite talent if they can.
Tier 2, the guys knocking on the door. These 4-5 guys are better than pretty much all the rest of us, they just haven't won the big dance yet for some reason or another. Given that they have 8 to 10 guys at or slightly above their level skill wise the upside of acquiring improvements is increasing their shot at the Title. I would say all of them have a realistic shot at the title, so they may only be 1 piece away from getting to it.
Tier 3, most of the rest of us. Basically 18 or so of us will finish with between 5 and 9 wins and be out of the playoffs in round 1 if we make it. Instead of going all in on one piece we should be looking at steady improvements to our overall rosters and adding elite talent through the draft where the cost is cheaper.
Tier 4, fodder tier. These are the guys who either don't take this seriously (which is fine) or were handed dog shit rosters. The guys with the bad rosters should be looking to acquire draft capital as they likely need help at a bevy of positions. These are the guys that should be sellers.
I think there are legitimately a few people in this league who might be 1 piece away. I'm just not sure I've seen all of them involved in these wacky preseason trades.
I 100% agree that everyone has fun in their own ways in this league, and I'm not here trying to say no trade. I'm just saying some people need sanity lessons. Then again I think there are real GMs/Owners who have the same kind of delusions so hey, if its in the game right?
Not based off the list. I only see the picks from Fitz.

Do you really need to know all this?
Have you ever voted yes on a trade you fucking clown?

P.s. I'll throw in my 1st to go to the chiefs!
So you acknowledge your fleeceing, you just need others to agree on the fleece amirite
Last I checked the league was meant to be fun. If someone enjoys that aspect of it, let em go nuts. And for the record, if Smokey were to get punted I'd resign.

If others approve it then apparently it's not! others would have accountability!
Bros for life.
Smokey isn't going anywhere. He reminds me of a young me, fighting the power. Things just got heated.
Is that supposed to increase or decrease the chance of Smokey getting kicked?
I just wonder if Smokey will quit when Live rage quits in week 5.

Wtf are you talking about? Why would smokey be punted? I love smokey!
And you resigning now is just speeding up the inevitable quitting midway through season 2
Well shit, if we are playing fantasy off the bat and basing it all on Madden ratings lets trade Rodgers for Cutler. That way when you throw interceptions you won't feel bad about it!
We are supposed to hand FMT the second best rated QB in the game for Small Hands and Gore?

Smokey only caries one way relationships. See: dcx. Uses them and dumps em!
Two birds, one stone.
Livewire is only in for a season anyway in the wake of the Redskins going to Mcnulty!
I'd punt Carlos way before Smokes! Smokey only takes advantage of individuals! He's like a rapist, to Carlos' terrorist!

Then vote no on it you dumbass biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitch!
You've got my vote!
Again, this is meant to be fun. Obviously if I'm swapping Smith for Cassel you should be aware of my intention. I'd still like Bledsoe, but that fucking warlord Luke is holding him in captivity.
Is this the Trade:
Patriots: Get Fitz, Gore, Cassel
49ers: Get Brady
Cardinals: Get 2 1sts / 1 2nd
Chiefs: Get Smith
Could we get the trades in a format where they actually make sense, like:
49ers Trade Alex Smith and Frank Gore and a 1st
Get: Tom Brady
Patriots trade Tom Brady
Get: Larry Fitzgerald, Frank Gore, Matt Cassell
Arizona Cardinalds trade Larry Fitzgerald
Get: Patriots 1st 2013, <Someone's First>, FMT's First 2013
Patriots: Get Fitz, Gore, Cassel
49ers: Get Brady
Cardinals: Get 2 1sts / 1 2nd
Chiefs: Get Smith

This made me lolol
And Live! I'm not punted but if you drag me in with your resignation I just might be . I'm not about dat life
Maybe if you could finalize the trade details and not add to it after the fact I could figure out what I'm voting on!
Something like that. I've been at work this whole time, so little difficult to post. Just doing my best to help clarify.
daw is the only other missing component. When I spoke with him he seemed to get that I wanted Cassel for personal reasons, wanting simply a better QB in return.

It has been already discussed and going to be enforced in the off season per the powers that be.
Thank you for checking up.

Mother Fucker!!!
No...and hell no!!!! I'm holding out hope that Vilma will be added.
If you guys give Brady to FMT, the NFC might as well not even play!
The rosters details are already out. So nope!
Hey and now FMT is about to get Brady! lulz
They really are. I feel a bit bad about Cola, he'll need the picks more than I will anyway.
No offense to Cola, but I'm pretty sure he's a step or two down from FMT...and probably Wellie too.

I have yet to see anyone vote on it so I'm not sure how I'm "about to get Brady"
If the Chiefs aren't involved, I'll just end up with Smith. I rather have my man Cassel. Daw is the least involved component in this.
Once the details are finalized and the trade is posted in a format where it shows clearly what each team involved gives up and gets, we'll get a vote on it.

Yeah! Sanjuro post the exact trade motherfucker! I dont care who the 3rd team is! I give gore smith and 1st and get Brady!
He's in rebuild mode... obviously, he wouldn't do much this year... but having 4 firsts? And a 2 seconds? You can't tell me that wouldn't be exciting. I'd take that right now for 1 WR!
