What are these awards you speak of.

Its the time where FMT makes awards based off pop culture and sports references for our season. For example:

The Ryan Leaf Passer Of The Year would go to Livewire since he throw's so many INT's

DM's first real superbowl. I wish I could have been there. :( Oh well, he slayed his personal dragon. Good job, DM. Welcome to the hall of champions!

[edit] Please don't make the Patriots award. I feel bad enough already! :(
[edit2] If it was me vs dm, it would have been a 5-3 superbowl final score.

Grats, DM. I gift wrapped it for you, that's for sure. Threw a pick on like his 5 yard line, terrible. Then a few minutes later try to float one to Mendenhall, but of course it's a bullet, pick 6...

Blount can suck my dick, 60 of his 80 yards came after first contact, give me a break.

I knew I should have played tomorrow!

Can anyone tell me how to hot route a spy from the classic audible controls?
Click to expand...

not sure about classic, but i select the guy i want to spy, press the A button, then i think Right on the right STICK. i'd have to do it to know for sure, i'm just used to the motions!

doesn't matter if you spy josh freeman or not. he's the most overrated, dirty player in madden history behind mike vick circa 04!

Freeman didn't murder me rushing, but DM got a key 3rd down with him towards the end.

Rors, I'm pretty sure it just showed like flats coverage or something with that command, it's really hard to try and figure it out in game.

0-2 in SBs, feels bad man.

Someone take this monkey off my back!

Yeah, congrats on the season, Ram. It wasn't an easy road to the SB.

Thanks, probably my one and only shot seeing as how I don't see you getting knocked out every year. :p

Dawkins retired, haha!

Farrior did too. :(

Uhhh, Ike Taylor is an overall 77 now, he's 91 offline, wth? All of my CBs are terrible now, ugh.

Same. :(

Pouncey is up to a 97 now, holy crap, lol.

I now only have 5 (3 LBs) defensive players who are 90 OVR! No more jokes!

I'm entertaining trades for an elite Corner, come at me bros.

Farewell Ronde. At least you retired a Buc....even though I wasn't re-signing you. Like hell I was giving you $5.5M for 1 year!

So I'm confused about something, I now have a ton more players listed as contract year players. If I don't sign them now, will they become free agents when FMT releases unsigned players?

Leaguemanager is not synced yet. Once it is, everyone who is going to free agency will have 0 years left on their contract.

AHAHAHA Veldheer, my left tackle, went up to 90! I'm tempted to come back and pass for 5,000. He was 81. Holy shit.

Lamarr Houson, DE, up 8 points!!!!!!!

wtf...

Ponder went from a 73 to a 78. Dude mashed this year.

My team just got worse basically. Understandable since my players are getting old but I had more decreases then increases. Greeeat.

Mmm, I like some of my jumps:

HB Ryan Mathews 77->86
HB Mike Tolbert 77->83
HB Jordan Todman 62->72
WR Vincent Jackson 87->92
WR Malcom Floyd 80->84
WR Vincent Brown 68->76
CB Antoine Cason 83->87
CB Marcus Gilchrist 69->78
CB Shareece Wright 68->73

I was worried that I needed to pick up a CB in the draft. Don't think it's as high a priority now.

Damn at some of my jumps, wish I'd written them all down pre jump.

WT3 CB went from 67->74
Brandon Browner went from 70 to 79!

Oh wait, I have a tab still open to the old roster, nice. Gonna compare my team real fast!

Just remembered that we have to wait till week 1 to close free agency bidding since we still can't sign free agents in the off season.

this is correct. here it is from the main page:

It is VERY important to note that you cannot close Free Agency bidding during the off-season due to the restrictions placed by the EA server not allowing the adds of players in the off-season. If you plan to run bidding during the off-season, make sure you wait until AFTER the draft and when you advance to week 1 to close bidding. This is extremely important.

...retired players stay on the contract hit. So, we won't be able to sign FAs or rookies because some retired dude is there? :/

[edit]Oh, nm. It works!

So uh, wtf I had players I cut added back to my team, and players I signed as free agents removed from my team.

What in the world?

no, you can be over the cap as much as you want but i'll have to make sure you're under the cap at the start of week 1 ;)

which brings me to another point: no more cap restructuring going forward. deal with the contracts and caps that you have!

I'm on a plane and traveling for the next 16 hours. What's the schedule for advancing to contract re-signs? I don't want to miss the chance to sign one or two guys before letting the rest go to FA.
