I work 70-80 hours a week. I would rather spend my limited free time hanging out with my friends and family or working on some potentially fruitful side projects. It's going to be difficult to carve out time for Madden as is.
I would like to play based on how into it you guys have been and its longevity with the group, but I went down this rabbit hole back in the day with the GAF Kohan games and it was a bad time for me. I literally cancelled plans to stay home playing.
I work more hours than that, but sometimes you gotta have time for you. About 2000 hrs worth of time... for you! I hear ya, though. Tough squeezing everything in.
