Hey now, don't forget who is the original GAF Madden Champ.
damn I suck at the game now.
Oh, sweet. So we're still doing a NCAA Dynasty? 
Should we make a new thread for 360 owners? I don't care whichever conference we play in. Anything would be cool (would prefer not ACC though).
(Cheats and copy/pastes conferences from PS3 NCAA thread)
Big East, Big 10, and SEC also look good.

I think MAC could be pretty fun. No heavyweights in there although that could weaken the time when recruits visit.

I am getting both buddy. You're right though, on 360 you should be the GMen and I will take someone else, it would only be fair.Striker said:You buying it for 360, and participating in the online league?
I'm not going back to Leaguedaddy over divisions! (And FMT isn't either!)
It sucks balls, but I've dealt with no divisions for the last 4 years in 2K Sports games.
Now, if the stats are not in-depth (I just want Player and Team stats, EA. COME ON![/Gob]) then we move back to LeagueDaddy.

Divisions would be better for Madden, but it isn't the end of the world. Some players got benefits from working in a weak division. And others (like me with the Cards ) got put into a strong division (with Zep, FMT, and Lonestar).
Double sadface
As long as I am in something for NCAA in the online dynasty, I'm happy.

I am willing to try anything if it means I don't have to enter stats into LeagueDaddy while the Madden scorebar gets burned into my plasma. Plus, no LeagueDaddy means FMT has a little more money to put into his gas tank or elsewhere.

Eh I don't mind the no division thing. That guarantees that the players that deserve to get in will.
Further, remember some of the divisions last year? The aforementioned Zep, Striker, FMT, Lonestar division and the INSANE Shawn, Gunstar, Sable, and me NFC East. How I managed to win that I will never know.

But that's what the NFL is like and that's what makes it awesome. If not, we wouldn't have any team from the NFC West reppin' in the playoffs! ;bWellington said:
Besides, 3 teams could make it (and they did) from the NFC East even with divisions. What would the NFL and Madden leagues be without division rivalries?
If there's a way to edit the schedules (including playoff schedules) we should have divisions. If not, well, that sucks... :\
Nah, it stands. The 9ers weren't always shit and neither were the Dolphins. It's more about the way the divisions work than simulating the real NFL teams and their talent. The NFC West joke was a jab at the real Seahawks. XDLonestar said:
I like the division rivalries. I do understand that you're really scared of FMT and that's why you don't want divisions, though.

So how does the sign-up for the madden league usually work?
Usually there's a final sign up thread close to release. Preference goes to the veterans first and rookies get the open spots. Not sure if that's how it will work this year, but that's usually the case.MWS Natural said:
Yeah, he's a cunning mofo.Lonestar said:
I think I'll have a team rated higher than 67 this year! :O

as long as they allow the commish SOME options as far as who advances to the playoffs then i'll do "custom" divisions. even though the league page may show all the teams jumbled together, we will have an understanding of what the true divisions are.
of course, if EA doesn't allow customization of playoff teams before it starts then that makes it difficult!

Great. I'm definitely interested in a GAF league, I can play on either system.Rorschach said:

To me, the divisions are secondary to making sure we get the best players from the league facing each other in the playoffs. I could live with a Championship between two NFC or two AFC teams since I knew they had to battle through the regular season and then beat the best teams in the playoffs to get there.FrenchMovieTheme said:

74 days. Well, my girlfriend is moving down south and I will have more time for Madden between visiting her come this fall. I am vowing to take this year's game a lot more seriously than the past.
I agree with DeNogg about the playoffs being the forum for the matchups for the best players. While it'd be stupid to try and purposely break it down this way (because like the NFL, you never know what player is going to step it up season to season), I think it warrants a look. A matchup of Gunstar or Sable versus Shawn in the divisional or NFC Champ game would be better than having them in the same division.
Really though, it sucks the big one that we still can't watch the games online.

I have to admit though, back on NFL2k1 I was in a really great league that folded when the DC died and I used jot down formations my opponents were using and what the down and distance was and then what the play was. Then later if we played again I would pull it out as a scouting report of sorts. It worked pretty well. I have debated recording the games for GAF and other leagues, would that make me a Belicheat?

Since going to the next gen system, I think the pecking order for scouting would be:
1) Opposing team's roster strengths/weaknesses
2) Opposing player's style
3) Individual matchups
4) Individual plays from opposing player
The games (2007 in particular) became such a crapshoot that no two plays ever unfolded the same way. That more than anything took me away from keeping track of what individual plays each player runs (with a few exceptions).
Let me know about this Ando. Because if for some reason you can't record games already implemented I'm wanting to record all my games as well so that I can then send them to the player I played against. It would just be nice to have for both involved to have a copy of an amazing play etc.Andokuky said:
Striker said:Wellie,
You should get Madden and NCAA on the 360.
"Just got through playing some NCAA 09 on the PS3 and I'm very, very, very, ..... ok one more, very happy to announce that the game is fluid and is really no different form XBOX 360. It was smooth and the gameplay was very solid. It took me a minute to get back adjusted to PS3 controlling but everything I was able to do on 360 I am able to do on PS3. "
We are done with 360! DONE!
