Hyped
Two possible approaches:
1. "Normal" - the fired user retires his current coach, say, Coach Carlos gets fired, and then he can create a new coach, Carlos II and return to his team.
2. "Hardcore" - if we have a waiting list this year, you go to the bottom of it and the first person on the list gets to bring a coach in (themselves).
Problems with approach 2 are numerous and not limited to, "it places a lot of trust in EA's firing logic"
But - the forum drama would be amazing
thats why i dont run them anymore!
The league started on IGN then moved to Bad Cartridge and is now Day One Patch I believe?
Sadly not quite. I was the Saints cause someone already had the Jets for some time. I always had pretty good starts but the trading was a bit more wide open than we had here and it was hard to keep up with all the stars being moved around. The people we're really cool though.
What if we did something like merging the two options. If the owner gets fired then we could have the shadow council vote on that performance in terms of activity and all that and then they could either be moved back down the list or brought back. That would be really interesting.
Oh god the drama will be amazing because you know EA will fuck up and someone like BigAT will be fired year 1 after getting to the championship game :jnc

I don't understand this, haven't really been keeping up with the updates.
Is there going to be a separate NFL Head Coach style league for us? That'd be sweet, just prepare to get completely dominated by me, regardless of team.

People have been scared of you and your mythical book, but you haven't done shit in years. You are living off of past achievements more than a 30 year old RB.
I don't think someone should lose their spot in the league based on poor performance, but I think we could force them to take over a new team....assuming multiple people are fired each season (hopefully no-one loses their job after year 1).
I think coaches that aren't fired should get first shot at the available teams though if they want to switch...that might prevent potential tanking.
god damn
1. Holy shit.
2. I read one of the changes this year is that "WR will actually beat the press."
DM, we are lifting our teams out of the trashcan as brothers.
MARIIIIIIIIIIIIA
Brothers to the end
Every Buc player gains 20 points after the first year. Progression!
Giants are rated higher than I expected them to be, tied for fourth. I was thinking that they would be the lowest rated Super Bowl Champions in the history of Madden. Actually, I wonder which team/year is.
Because the Raiders suck.

I took a team out of the dumpster and immediately made them better in a division against the guy that appeared in damn near every SB for the AFC. He was the one that actually kept knocking me out of the playoffs. Unfortunately for me, he gets the same boost that the Bucs get from Donny. Not much I can do.
Sorry if I disappoint you pal, but my team actually had bad breaks and issues to overcome. I was also so individually successful with my D that you guys are looking to change the rules.
As Ferny mentioned, we were on IGN for a pretty long time. Most had been members there since early 2000s. As their boards turned to shit and mods started coming in our threads regularly it became a burden. A bunch of guys started up a site called BadCartridge so we moved the thread there. At some point the owners had a falling out, so split ways and the message board moved to a new site called dayonepatch.com -- and they moved all of our stuff for us. It's a small site, but mods don't bother us and our full group made the move so it works.
Ferny did pretty good over there -- he was the Saints. I think he made the playoffs a few times?
We have a nice mix of guys, some really good and some pretty bad, but everyone plays within our rules and has fun. Our rules are basically don't play like a dick, if a real coach would punt/kick, you should as well.

Wow that sucks. I'll never be able to figure out defense again.
Face it, you're the guy that sits at Papa Welli's feet asking for what I do on D, try to mimic it, and fail. It's why you went so hard at accusing me of cheating. I told you exactly what I was doing with my DL and LBs and you couldn't make it work. Proof is in the pudding from season 1 and 2 stats:
I take nothing away from you on offense but please fuck off when discussing D with me.
That is true. It just seemed like the ratings we're a little on the low side. But at the end of the day Tebow will be our savior and score 20 pts a game for me on his own!
There are 4 teams in the 60s and Miami is one of them
Go Heat
By the time updated rosters hit theyll be 90+, mostly thanks to the stellar pre-season Lord Tannehill will have that gives him an immediate OVR boost to 99
Actually I take it back. I went back over the previous five years of Madden and the only Super Bowl winner to be rated worse relative to other teams than this year's Giants were...surprise, surprise, the 07-08 Giants team.
Super Bowl Winner - Rating - Ranking Overall
Packers - 92 - #1
Saints - 91 - #1
Steelers - 92 - #2
Giants - 94 - #T-5
Colts - 94 - #3
No respect.

to be fair, the fact that there are zero teams in the 90's shows that their system for ratings have changed.
And you throw 70 picks with a 99 OVR QB!
