Welp.... madden is back! oh boy! Seems like only months ago we were finishing out a final season of madden 13. will madden 25 last as long? can connected careers owner mode extend interest this year like connected career online franchise did last year? will league drama cripple us? will ps4 tear us apart? None of those are in my top 10 pre-season league questions!
10. Does DM exist? Did he ever exist? I'm not sure anymore. The NFC South is in shambles!
09. How long until Crow has to be talked to about complaints against him? I predict never! As sure as AJ Jenkins is a #1 receiver crow will not shame me by causing problems again!
08. How long until the AFC East (less LJ) stops embarrassing itself? Year after year after year the division does nothing.... even with a top (rated) team contained within! LJ with a cake walk to the division, show some pride!
07. Who will be the biggest "auto-win" team this year? Obviously the easy guesses would be the Seahawks and/or Niners. But maybe someone will come out of nowhere with some soka style cheese that can't be stopped!
06. When will smokeyTV stop being embarrassing for smokey? This once proud league player has now turned into a punching bag for his opponent. It pains me to see it, but it's clear that smokey has now devolved into a mediocre league player. Now luke gets a free pass to the division title and everyone gets to see it on the screen!
05. What will be more used this year: GG, but or ballhawk won for you? There is no wrong answer but the best answer is both! GG, but you only won because of ballhawk!
04. Will either CB or Luke exercise their playoff demons? Neither one has stacked teams, although both have some pieces. Both will probably rip some poor sucker off for picks or players. But eventually they will both have to do what they do in the playoffs! I predict Colts Vs. Eagles in the first superbowl.... the curse is broken for one!
03. How much butthurt will Owners mode cause? We already have plenty of regular butthurt, but owners mode has the potential for more. Moving somewhere that someone else wanted to move, having more money because you won more games because you got lucky! Then again maybe no one will give a shit about owners mode!
02. Can Ramirez win anything meaningful without the Twins advantage? So far he has proven that no, he cannot. I don't think anything will change that thinking this year!
01. How long before DOTA 2 ruins the league!? And where does it stop! Oh sure, today it's madden, but maybe tomorrow its Marvel Vs. Capcom 4, Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 4 and all the rest! Shame on you Dota 2! Shame on you!
the league is at capacity with 32 people (plus some backups). we may have some open spots going forward, we'll have to see! The current roster is at the bottom of this post. And now, some Q&A:
Q: When does the league start?
A: As soon as the first roster update is out. Last year that was around mid-september. Hopefully sooner this year but I don't know for sure!
Q: What are the advance period?
A: 72 hours from previous advance or whenever all games are completed, whichever comes first!
Q: Quarter length?
A: 7 mins with accel clock.... just like last year!
Q: We doing owner mode if it's available?
A: Yeah, if it's available. I haven't read up on it so I'm not 100% sure but I believe it's available for connected careers!
Q: Will I have restrictions on moving my team to a new city?
A: I don't see why there would be any restriction unless there is some kind glitch with it or something. Hey you never know with EA!
Q: If i'm not listed with a team does that mean i'm not in the league!?
A: For now, yes. I have put anyone interested either with a team or on the waiting list. If your name isn't anywhere on the list or waiting list and you still want to play then just post and i'll put you on! The odds are your number is going to come up eventually!
Q: Is the 360 league going to die when the ps4 version comes out?
A: That is not my intention. I would prefer to keep the 360 version as the main league and if we have enough for another league with ps4 then we do. HOWEVER, if so many people "leave" the 360 league for ps4 league that we don't have enough for a decent 360 league then my hand maybe forced! I don't think that will happen but we can't know yet.
Q: We going to use real draft classes?
A: Yes.... so long as the feature isn't completely busted
Q: Is this a sim league.
A: Yes.
Q: Will there be 4th down rules?
A: TBD. I imagine we'll go forward with the same rules we previously had and adjust as needed.
Q: Who is running this show?
A: Luke, CB3, FMT.
