Official Madden 13 Xbox 360 Online Franchise Thread:Stat padding? Never heard of him.

You can't scout, I tried earlier

It's too bad Aarin Carroll and this new Ronald Watts fellow are going to get taken before I get to go up :(

It's really easy to bribe foreign factions in Tropico 4. Either give them investment money, or export goods to them. Keeping the US and USSR is especially important since they send you aid money every year. However, local factions are a pain in the ass. Went heavy industry in my current mission, and the environmentalists hate me. Trying to do all they can to not get me re-elected. Jokes on them, though. I gave everyone a tax break while down in the polls and my el presidente rocketed way ahead. Guess I'll have to see to their demands now and attempt to be more eco friendly. Calling for a tax break took quite a bit of money out of my treasury.

I KNOW THE ANSWER BUT I'M NOT TELLING

You can scout

Dang. Guess I'll be waiting till after FA, since I won't be home until 9 central.

Which one of you paid this guy off to tweet this?

SCOTT WRIGHT@ScottWrightEAWant a sleeper for your draft board? Look no further than WR Ronald Watts. Most consistent WR in the draft. #weswelker2

Ha, he nailed it, that's one of my targets. There are 4 or 5 stud WRs in this draft.

What does GM Rinse want for his number one pick?

Also, I am looking to move into the top 10 in picks. Let me know if anyone is interested!

Hahahaha, heck no. That is the one (and only?) untouchable on my team. Proved the final two weeks of the season he will be my QB of the future.

I just want the super bowl to end to see where his stats go from his rookie season.

Do players progress on their own? I know they regress.

I tried that already. Gave my buddy Rinse a heck of deal but he wouldn't bite.

I almost want to trade for Pharoah Phillips just to have him on my roster as a backup QB. I love that name.

Edit: Crow, good point. Not sure!

A heck of a deal for a guy you are going to let walk via free agency for nothing

Did the year already tick off on some guy's contracts? My starting RG/FS/ROLB all had at least another year to go on their contracts (2014) but now all of them show no money in 2014 and the "remaining" length on their contracts is down to 1.

Further, I resigned my RT to a 6 year deal this season, he shows a "remaining" number of 5 and no money where it should be at the end of the deal.

Has anyone noticed the same thing or am I seeing things?

I can still franchise tag him! Would I get the GM of the year award to have a 13 million to 15 million dollar backup QB?

I have this problem too with a number of players. A little nervous about my roster when FA hits.

That throwing stick stunt of yours has boomeranged on us.
Yes dcx posted a list of potential free agents. A lot of unexpecteds, we'll see how it plays out

True, I've done things out of spite before in this game.

This might be the first time in Madden I'll have a truly elite QB to use. Well, at least turn into one. He went from 78 to 84 with the manual upgrades I put in this season, and he has quick progression, so I'm hoping to get another decent boost. Don't get me wrong, Cutler is really good, but it looks like Myers stats are going to shoot through the roof (relatively to what I've had in the past). Myers won't be Andrew Luck cheesy good, but somewhere in between Cutler and Luck.

I guess I'll have no more excuses if I mess up in the passing game from here on out.

I noticed the same things for my team. Abraham, Julio, Clabo and a whole bunch of them at 1 year left. On the site they don't show up that way.

Idk, we shall see what happens.

I'm a huge Blood Bowl fan. Cyanide can die in a mother fucking fire for that release. Pure shit.

I'm home now, what did I miss?

FA starts tonight after the Super Bowl. Finishes up Saturday morning. Draft Sunday night after the late game.

Edit: Isn't there a week to resign guys first? Maybe that will be done tonight instead, and FA in its entirety gets done Saturday.

They aren't FA. The system is just dumb about how it shows this. Same thing happened last season.

I don't want to read the whole thread. Is the draft time finalized yet?
Oh someone posted an image that said "never." Guess it's just photochop or an old image.


From what I hear: nope.

A mod told me it was 2.

Blood Bowl is only fun if you play with other people. Even then I found it to be really slow.
