So I decided to play solo queue draft champions where you play the computer and holy crap I guess it starts off on the lowest and slowest difficulty level because I've never seen such a slow game of Madden. This is awful and you can't change the settings.

Yeah, another way that they fucked up the speed of the game this year. It's like the game engine is completely disconnected when comparing online/offline. It's unbearable playing that first game in DC offline.

Did just have this strange bug in Practice. Think there was an invisible defender on the field

Had WR's catch passes and then act as if tackled, too.

That's actually a heart attack

EDIT:

I <3 U NIGHTZ

 

[Lonestar]

so FMT snuck in a bit of Morgan Newton code into the roster. Well, we should have some funny video's at the end of the season.

Morgan Newton:

 

[Nightz]

Signed in and at 53.

I also tried to turn my PC on when I got home and Windows won't load. Hooray.

 

[CB3]

We'll advance whenever FMT shows up, then make a post shortly after to open up FA

 

[CB3]

Or ill just do it because he is MIA.

Im going to advance through week by week to the start of the regular season. DO NOT DO ANYTHING UNTIL I POST THAT ITS OK TO DO SO. Im anticipating something going wrong because it usually does. Im really hoping everyone turned off CPU assist.

Here we go!

 

[DCX]

Here we go...

[TheDrizzlerJ11]

...who took Will Montgomery? FA isn't open.


...did he retire?

 

[rinse82]

I think some players got signed already..


Edit: Yup, CPU signings lol

 

[DJ Bowser]

I don't think I turned off auto assist... I'll be home in 5 minutes though.

 

[DCX]

Practice squad signings.

[TheDrizzlerJ11]

What a bullshit way of making sure you hit FA on time.

 

[Purple Cheeto]

Apparently a ton of people got signed to practice squads.

I set my team to manuel and it still signed someone.

 

[rinse82]

So practice squad signings are auto, even when I turned off CPU assist

 

[ScottSullivan]

The CPU fuckery begins!

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

Looks like everyone has full practice squads

 

[DietRob]

yea looks like PS signings happen automatically even though we turned it off.

 

[CB3]

Ok I think that was MOSTLY painless. Here's what it looks like:

It seems every team auto signed guys to the practice squad. This has no cap implications so I think this should be ok? I dont know that the PS is a big enough deal that we'd go through and cut all these guys and start from scratch.

3 guys did get released in preseason week 4 and I cant tell if the user did that or the CPU did it. So just incase, these three guys are off limits:

LOLB Dekota Watson (Broncos)
WR Jordan Taylor ( Broncos)
WR Jeremy Butler (Bucs)

Other than that, I think we're ok.

Free Agency will open up in about 15-20 minutes. DO NOT SIGN GUYS BEFORE I POST SAYING TO.

 

[DJ Bowser]

What a bullshit way of making sure you hit FA on time.

I would like to hit FA but I also signed into the league just to cut my players before I went to bed last night.

Edit: Ha! Wasn't even my fault.

 

[CB3]

It does look like some FA's "retired" during the advance. It doesnt show in the retirement tab but they arent in the pool and no one has signed them.

Yup, was looking at some RG named Greco and he's gone now.

 

[DCX]

Into the FA abyss. Meet up with videogame Tony Gonzalez! #rip

Last year a lot of FA's vanished after preseason too- the lowest rated I think.

 

[TheDrizzlerJ11]

Suspend Brady four games!

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

nobody saw that

 

[Lonestar]

guess I should turn the game back on

 

[Purple Cheeto]

Yeah I had some rookie corner get auto cut and disappear after the first draft.

 

[CB3]

nobody saw that

I should honestly make you wait another hour just for that.

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

swear to god I didn't mean to, there is zero confirmation screen on the player card

 

[DCX]

Black Friday Madden style. Waiting on the go ahead with a player in que lol

DCX

 

[Lonestar]

So here, there's no bartering on these FA's, this is strictly Black Friday business?

the blackest of fridays

 

[rinse82]

I just wanna play some madden

 

[CB3]

Jesus the DB free agents all died.

 

[ph33nix]

Are we about to get like a fucking octo box going on here?

WHAT A TIME!

We should post a list of games to be played. Maybe a first wave and a second wave?

 

[Lonestar]

Jesus the DB free agents all died.

It's why I had that one guy picked on the crap tier FA list. Younger average CB > Older average CB

 

[DJ Bowser]

We still aren't picking FA's, right?

 

[CB3]

THESE GUYS ARE OFF LIMITS:

LOLB Dekota Watson (Broncos)
WR Jordan Taylor ( Broncos)
WR Jeremy Butler (Bucs)
LT Eugene Monroe


YOU CAN NOW SIGN FREE AGENTS

YOU MUST HAVE 53 PLAYERS ON YOUR ACTIVE ROSTER BEFORE YOU PLAY YOUR GAMES.

 

[DietRob]

Why is Monroe off limits?

 

[CB3]

Why is Monroe off limits?

Lonestar took him in the FA draft.

 

[ph33nix]

I CALL DIBS ON FIRST STREAM

http://multitwitch.tv/york887


Lone, I can play in a few minutes if you want, I just need to get some stuff set up and settle down.

 

[DietRob]

Lonestar took him in the FA draft.

ah, gotcha. I managed to get an upgrade at LT so I'm happy. Was eyeing him tho lol

 

[BigAT]

CM Punk lasted as long as DM will in this league.

 

[CB3]

I signed a DB off the cowboys practice squad.

Im not gonna lie. It felt pretty good.

 

[Splat]

Fernyyyyy

 

[Lonestar]

Lonestar took him in the FA draft.

I didn't take Monroe, that was bread

 

[rinse82]

Game feels slow as fuck in practice mode

 

[TheDrizzlerJ11]

I know you don't want us editing anyone, but can I please change Greg Hardys name so Greg Hardy isn't on my team?

Who got Karlos Williams? And do you want Matt Jones for him?

Rob! Want to play?
