actually, after signing myself up, it looks as if there's nothing special for it yet, once you sign up, it just goes to the easports online webpage. I don't think there's any content yet, but you can sign up.

Hmmm, ok, then there's no rush. I thought the EA Calender, and the advanced ranking pages would be up from the get go. Maybe you need to log on to the game.

Heh, you know I really hope it makes for better competition, or at least people who won't quit on you after you go up 17-0. That's what irks me the most. When people quit on you when it's still a game.

Lamers....Is your "name in lights" yet? lol.

My rep is 379. I have no idea why it jumped that much, since my rep was like 204 before signing up.

Here are the features that are open now

EA Reputation Boost: Players who sign up for the EA SPORTS Premium Pass receive a boost to their online Reputation Rating, which is a publicly visible indicator that rewards players based on their adherence to the EA SPORTS Fair Play rules. Players will now be able to tell if their opponents play by the rules.
Name in Lights: Adding to the EA SPORTS Premium Pass VIP status, all subscribers will have their name highlighted from non-members in the game and on the EA SPORTS Premium Pass web pages, making it easy for serious Madden gamers to find and challenge each other.
Early Registration for the 2004 EA SPORTS Madden Challenge: Subscribers get a full 48 hours to register before non-subscribers for EA SPORTS Madden Challenge Tournaments.
Madden University: More Madden online tips and hints than players knew existed can be found here. Packed with rookie, mid-level and hard core tactics, Madden University will be updated weekly with the latest online strategies and host various columns from well-known community luminaries.
Personalized Career Pages: View tournament and league standings, leaderboards, and schedules from within your own personalized command center! Soon, you'll even be able to see how your EA SPORTS Fantasy Football team is stacking up!
Expanded Leaderboards: Members-only leaderboards are enhanced with dozens of statistics, less scrolling, and a more comprehensive view of your potential opponents' stats.
Customizable Streaming Sports Ticker on Web: Pulling in multiple real world sports feeds as well as EA SPORTS online system messages, the Ticker will allow subscribers to customize the sports news they see, and get important alerts about Madden NFL 2005 online.
EA Calendar: Subscribers can set their “time online” preferences and organize Madden NFL 2005 challenges and tournament games. Other members can challenge them and be assured that they will find a suitable time on their calendar.
Exclusive Events: Members will have access to exclusive events. We are planning to give away tickets to major sporting events and unique EA SPORTS items through a variety of Madden tournaments.
Members Only Medals: Major milestones and big online events won’t go unrewarded; EA SPORTS Premium Pass members will receive special medals that they can display next to their game trophies in their Trophy Room on their Personal Career web pages.
Restricted Access Message Boards: Premium Pass members will have their own place to hang out on the message boards. Moderated by EA Admins, the boards will be the best place to discuss the latest online strategies or find your next foe.
Members Only Customer Support: Priority web, email, and in-game support from EA Customer Support.

I don't see any "lights" in relation to my Gamertag. I do notice that my rep rating is pretty much higher than 95% of everyone else though.

and my rank is not showing. People messaged me about it, and I checked to find it true. I only have --- for my rank. Very strange.

You get 50 points for confirming your email address, which you are doing with Premium Pass so its actually 175 rep points if you havent confirmed your email yet.

No, I thought that was just an email confirmation telling you that it was already done. Read it again..

No I read it as there is supposed to be a email telling you how to link them. I get a email telling me I've signed up, not one telling me how to link them. I've been online and my name hasn't become highlighted or anything like it says it's supposed to be.

That's weird that it would take me off your list. I understand that the friends list had some issues, but I guess you had the worst luck. I'll accept the invite in a few minutes.

How come it won't let me choose the nick I use on all EA games? I can't even look at stats or anything because it only lets me choose 1 nick that I never used.

I don't understand why EA is letting people sign up for this, when there's no content to launch it with. There's no name "in lights", no leagues, no special message board, no calendar, etc... Why didn't they just wait till they had most of the features ready?

About leagues

Sign up should begin around the start of the NFL Season.

You can have 4 - 32 players in your league. No need to have a full 32 to have a fun time.
