I wonder, does the contract players stuff work properly? Say Sheldon Brown has 1-year left, he hits FA after in LM? Curious to how everything works, actually exciting in a way. Browns team salary is the bottom of the barrel in the NFL. Browns and Bucs both in the 80's while every other teams is mostly in the 100's.
It's DM's chance to correct the sins of the Glazers!

GG Birdman. Wish that was a regular season game. OT 58 yrd FG to win. Slob with 3 INTs and 1 HORRIBLE one in the red zone smh. Should be fun in week 3.

GG DCX. Fuck you pheeniks you community games quitting little shit. Already in midseason form and you just got back!


GG last night man. I was kind of messing around in the 2nd half with a formation, and I think there is potential to do some serious damage with it. Colston was basically uncovered on both picks that I threw, but I tried to force throws elsewhere.

Also, if I would've realized Hartley wasn't my kicker (since he's injured irl), that game would've never gone to OT. He would've hit that 56 yarder at the end of regulation.

I wouldn't want the Bears either. EA wants Microsoft points to refill insulin prescriptions on a game-by-game basis.


not that I don't want them, I just thought he was a bears fan?

He is, but then his chances to make noise in this franchise with the Ravens intrigues him :)

Franchise will start today for sure, so be ready friend, we tangle today :)

Ok apparently a buddy checked and it is infact updated now. Can anyone check if they are near a 360?
I will in a minute and got the go ahead to start the franchise if it is. I will send out invites to all. FMT will handle the League Manager part of it.

So it seems like the rosters still aren't fantastic. The free agent pool is kind of oddly limited as well.

For example, the Giants are missing Clint Sintim, Derrick Martin and Da'Rel Scott from their roster. None of these players exist or are available in the free agent pool, despite the fact that they are all on the Giants roster in the latest update for community game rosters. Recently acquired Brandon Stokley doesn't exist in the game as well.

The free agent pool does contain UFL player Noel Devine though, who is from the same draft class as Da'Rel Scott. So this means that:

Drafted + on an NFL roster? Non-existent.
Undrafted + not in the NFL? FREE AGENT!

all invites are sent. please check your depth charts and adjust accordingly as it did some weird things for me.

It had Hayden/Dunta Cbs and Grimes at FS and James Sanders starting at SS with Moore and DeCoud on the bench?!

odd.

Jesus :( unfortunately there is nothing we can do about that.

" if it's in the game, it might not be in ours "

PS: I love the made up free agents :/ Scott Rich, 17 year veteran looking like someone i would randomingly punch in the junk on the subway, yet actual players are missing from actual rosters

That sucks considering he was in the game before and had a monster SPD rating. Trio of him with Bradshaw and Jacobs would have been awesome.

Anyone want to make a deal for Ochocinco? He keeps tweeting that I'm putting real life numbers up in a video game.

Would you be interested in sending him home? What are you looking for, defense?

Please look at the rosters via Xbox. The Bengals roster is very different from what's floating around on ESPN or what have you.

You should trade for Donald Brown and Antoine Bethea too. Recreate my Madden 10 Bengals! <3

yeah, I bet they left the quarterback princess in the free agent pool as well...

I'm at school today for much of the day. When I get back home I will check out if I want to make a deal. I rather do it before week one than do something during the halfway. The comment about Ochocinco was more in jest. I still wouldn't be opposed to moving him or anyone else on the team for a valuable asset.

Levious I appreciate the offer, but I've been practicing with the Ravens leading up to the start of the league season! Now with Wellington calling me out like that, I can't leave!

Lol, I was winning the first time we got disconnected! I hope disconnects aren't a big issue with franchise games.

Is there a site where I could view the current roster or changes? I'm assuming it's only on the console for the time being.

Yeah how could you leave a team with yet another defense in which you just sit back and watch and a much better offensive group?

Right now the confidence tuning doesn't work in this set of rosters. If I understand correctly it means player confidence won't change at all. The next roster update is supposed to fix this.

I'm not convinced we need to rush into anything.

Translation: We should wait otherwise Peyton Manning will lead the league in interceptions.

And then its something else we wait for we should be ready to go by week 8. We got our rosters, league manager is ready to go I don't see the reason to not start now.
