I prefer having the Jets since that has been my team in this league and one of the two teams I cheer for. However, seeing that the Jets are taken, I, too, would like to get the team selections resolved prior to release. Otherwise, I may not buy Madden.

The other team I follow is the Falcons.

do you have a preference besides the packers/dolphins? i would prefer you get the packers since you are actually a fan but i can't make that guarantee!

I think my choices last year were Dolphins, Bengals or Titans. Not sure who is available this year but I guess I'd want Matt Hasselbeck and I'm gonna score!

I thought after a year of purgatory I got to play for the Packers, though?

bold is set in stone basically. still need to figure out the people who are actually going to use the other teams.

in-effect mode: you in or out?
mikeys: you guys still around?
denogg: falcons are dcx's team :/ going to try to figure out everyone so i can let you know for sure what's up. you should start a separate thread pleading for the jets.... matrix style!

at least you guys have a non-rookie who can participate in training camp at this point :(
I'd prefer most of the rookies at this point. :| Funnily enough, I'd take anyone except the top two QBs picked.

I wish you could assign the overflow players to UFL teams. I would love to see GameFlow lead the OVR 28 Mountain Lions to let people off the hook.
 

levious

That throwing stick stunt of yours has boomeranged on us.
I'm good with the bears FMT, but if someone else asks for them i wouldn't mind using another team...
 
Well, i am comfortable with the upgrades to the lions and the rest of the division sitting idly. Can't wait for Real life and virtual RW11 to drop some balls or be overthrown

What was Clay's rating last year? I know EA's raging boner for one year wonders.
I think he started out in the low 80s. I know they increased him a few times throughout the season, I'm not sure what he ended at but I don't think it was 95.

Are there plans to make a Madden league community?
If no one else starts one, I definitely will. Hopefully, GAF Madden peoples can play more often past the start of the league like we used to. It got so serious last couple of years that people didn't want to play just because they would be potential opponents. :|

I'm down for the community. That's the only reason that I ever increased my skills in NBA2K was playing randoms online. Less cheese in that game though, Madden randoms really piss me off.

I'd be more interested in scrimmages if we could use our franchise rosters :\

This.

My fucking god, how is it they haven't implemented this feature? It's in EVERY other sports game with online leagues for fuck's sake.

What's this Madden Community thing?
 
So all the teams not in bold are available or those people are definitely playing but not those teams? If theres an open spot I'll def get Madden. On the fence otherwise.

That's true too, but it's the same issue. OMG we can only play with our "real" teams or we'll get rusty in time for our real games! Super serials. We used to just play for fun, man. FUN!

This is why no one gets better anymore, btw. You can't get better unless you get your ass kicked 100 times in a row and ask for tips! I was garbo when I started. I remember destroying Wellie when he started. Didn't even finish the game. Now we're both upper mid tier!

But you're not teaching him. :| Luke got a lot better too. And Crow wanted to play and asked for advice all the time.

Well, if he gets his ass kicked, but has no idea what just happened, he's not gonna be able to correct it. :p

Btw- you can export offline franchise teams, so we can recreate our teams if we want them that bad. You'd only have to do it once a season!

LukeSmith said:
Yeah, but then I felt like you were just toying with me :(
I discussed a lot of the intricacies at length and even demonstrated live! After a while, there was nothing I could teach you since you had surpassed me. :(

Ya I need to scrimm a lot more this year. I will say CK and Rors helped me out quite a bit last year, but I just didn't have the motivation last season (like most people). Pretty excited for this year =) Hope we do multiple season this year again.

i won a superbowl in madden '11.... and i went through you to get there!

p.s. bigAT/wellington: i'm going to just keep wellington as the giants and bigat as the packers. i like the spirit of competition but by keeping that possibility out there i leave other people dangling on their teams. if wellington loses, then what team does he want? now a guy who had his 2nd choice has to be bumped to a new team, and whoever has that new team gets bumped, etc etc. if you guys want to figure something else out that's fine with me, but i have to have the teams set before the game comes out because some people are depending on a spot in the league before they buy the game. sorry bro's!
