Eh, I figured all that was implied since, you know, it was the original friggin' topic that has been discussed for 2 pages.

Week 11 Miami Dolphins Birdman02
Week 12 at Minnesota Vikings malleymal
Week 13 Jacksonville Jaguars Striker
Week 14 at Cleveland Browns LonestarGA
Week 17 Cincinnati Bengals Wsv771

Those people are all still around and active in the thread, fyi. But whatever, I'm done with that. I don't really care to be honest was just wondering because you were complaining about league participation, which is a problem, but you weren't doing much to alleviate it.
Whatever. I am done with responding to you on this. I made efforts to log on to Xbox Live for almost 3 weeks and could not log on. You can blame that shit on me all you want, but you are sounding more ignorant every time you accuse me of something else.

Yeah, whatever is right. You can step on out of this thread since you said you were done a couple pages back. You're being detrimental to us getting a resolution here.
I just accused you of something else :O
I told you I didn't give a fuck and I still don't give a fuck.

For those of you that missed it on the last page, there's a poll up. Please vote.

I'm up for whatever. I'm still going to try and finish up my season (birdman and daw I am home all day tomorrow (Monday) and free to play our games). If we seed based on records now I'd suggest we see what the final record is between me and Wellie for the #6 seed.
 
tourney is an excellent idea! it would give nice closure to a crazy season... mostly crazy because of all the rrods :(

although i wont get a chance to do it myself, all i request is that someone beats DM... please!
 
Anybody on my schedule got today off and want to get our game in? Malley, i imed ya sat night, but it looked like you were out so you probably never got the im. Wsv doesn't seem to be here atm, but if you check the boards instead of ims just let me know if u want to play our game. Airbrian, I know you mentioned playing earlier and it seems week 17 is now open, but didn't see you on aim.

Are the following people's 360's dead: Ramirez and Gunstar?
 
For a tournament or playoff scenario, I really believe we should do rankings based off of record instead of the traditional playoff seedings. For example, Batimore and Detroit have a 5-2 and 4-3 record, is it right they get prime position given they only played 7 games? Something to consider....

My 360 is pretty much shot, artifacts all over the place while playing Madden earlier today. I'll try loading other games later but it kept locking up while playing Madden, I didn't want to feed it other games because it has a tendency to scratch them.

LJ, no! :( Damn, that sucks. Good luck with your repairs. :\

Alright, it looks like trouney is ahead. I'll leave the poll up 'till 5 PST. If it's the same results then, we'll start the process.

It all depends on how many people we get, but there will be a seeding process that takes that into account. Looks like 16 so far if the poll is any indication.

Good luck with the tourney guys.

Here to hoping 09 brings us better fortune.

Stop blaming me!

Although my X360 going down did seem to start some sort of massive chain reaction for RROD and Xbox Live outages. :/

Feel the ripple effect of my anger MS!

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm PS3.

If all things are equal I know which version of 09 I will be buying. But we can worry about that in August 08. For now the rest of the working X360 guys can finish out their final current madden 360 league.

Will PS3 be gimped again though?
That will be the key. If it is gimped, then we all pray for our X360's before every game.

By the way, I can't log on to XBL again tonight. Tried NHL earlier and it froze on loading. Christ.

Alright, looks like tourney won out. If you're in for the tourney, please post here that you are interested. You will have the same teams you had in the season. Bracketts will be determined by league records. If you were ranked bottom of the barrel and we have an odd number of teams, you will probably be the one playing the extra game. :( The tourney is open to those that wouldn't have made the playoffs, btw. Anyone of the regular season teams can play (with one exception!).

Just post your nick and your AIM.

When will this get rolling? I'll play if it gets started soon.

Andokuky - AndoSD

Could it be an EA problem Denog? I've had EA games freeze on me while they tried to download all the stupid shit EA Sports games access on their servers. But no problems like that with any other game.

Most likely, it'll be tomorrow. We'll probably have everyone signed in by then. The brackets shouldn't take too long to figure out. I'll try to keep the conferences separate, but there may not be an exact balance. If we can get everyone signed in tonight, that would be great, though. :D

Can people who were not in the league join the tourney? I understand if you guys don't want this but I'd like to play.

I'm willing to play, but my record is horseshit so I'm willing to be the odd guy out of we get more than 16.

If there's an odd number of people, you can get in. We would have needed fillins for the league, anyway, so I don't see it as much of a problem. Just know that: 1) games take about an hour to complete 2) You'll have one of the leftover teams and 3) you need to follow these rules. If you're still interested, we'll keep you on the queue.

I'm in with the Pats. Are we finishing the regular season to determine seeding?

Also, just picked up a PSTriple tonight, so if we decide to move Madden to a new console next year I'm covered. :D

Oh and my AIM is Atreides815

All that's fine. And yea, definitely the sooner the better, atm i have no huge projects / exams to consume my time.

For 2) will I get to pick from the leftover teams or will it be assigned?

Also, what is the policy with current roster? Can i use Chambers if i were to pick the fins?

The rosters are set by EA, so Chambers will be in San Diego. You can use whatever players your roster has, though. Injuries aren't a factor. You can choose from any of the leftovers.

Nice. :D

Shaping up nicely. I'll be back in the evening to check. Still haven't heard from Shawnhann, Malley, Dammittmattt, striker, or cloudy. Malley and shawn expressed interest earlier, but not I don't want to throw them in without confirmation.
 
"We receive the ball and we're going to score"...aka I'm in!

Motivation to be the dual league champion in both NBA and Madden has me pumped up and ready to go. Has anyone been champs of both leagues at the same time?

No. But you didn't win the MLB one so the true crown is lost.

You can't count this as champs of anything. We limped into some BS tourny to celebrate the Deathknell of the 360 League.

PS3 future.
 
LOL, good riddance X360 leagues! The leagues with you guys was THE only reason I reupped on my Live subscription.

PS3 future confirmed!!

Meh, MLB2K was so fucked up that many people didn't feel like finishing it because there was too many things wrong with it! Of the many hilarious memories, I vividly remember a game where I hit 11 hrs through 6 innings only to have a signature 2K network error stop the game...

Speaking of baseball, I can't wait until we get this league over so I can trade in this game so credit can go towards that purchase

MLB 09 is where the real deal is this year! I. CANT. WAIT.
