I will be playing on PS3 this year. If anyone wants to scrim, feel free to send me a message. Best of luck to the league this year.

If we have a league I am definitely in.
If AT and Striker are in, I am definitely willing to play for the Giants. Only reason I'm not including Frank is that I thought as far as team choices went, vets got first dibs, with anyone new to the leagues choosing from whatever's left. Correct me if I am wrong.
I'd like to do it best 2 of 3 if possible - only because that would eliminate "getting Madden'd" (Let's face it, we've all had *those* games) so there are no hard feelings on either side.
So yeah, any team recommendations for after I lose the Giants to AT?
Is Lonestar coming back? I just want to be in a full division.

I know you're eeyoring, but RAIDERS! They'll have good DL ratings this year and McFadden will get a boost, though I'm sure they won't give him the trucking he deserves. You'll have all the speed you're always bitching about too!Wellington said:If we have a league I am definitely in.

Cmon, Giants DBs avg speed is like 85, I think the WRs are right around there if not slower. It's a major factor in how I have to call defensive plays. I think in the fourth season of Madden 10, Webster had like 83 spd and was still my best CB. Had to match him up against all #1s.Rorschach said:
It also makes a huge difference playing against man to man coverage when you have a fast receiver. Only Manningham can get open a lot, and I suspect it's mostly because he's in the slot. :/
If we play this league, I'll trade you picks for Kiwi. You won't need him with Tuck, Osi, and JPP.Wellington said:Cmon, Giants DBs avg speed is like 85, I think the WRs are right around there if not slower.

If I have the Giants I'd just trade you Osi. You know how I feel about him.Striker said:
I was trying to base my decision around defense and I feel like Vikings and Jaguars are pretty similar in that area based on last years ratings (Vikings have the better players). Both teams safeties blow. Jags have the better Corners. I'm sticking with the Vikings though. Maybe Christian Ponder will have some skill.

CJ2k and the Titans? Our division could be pretty fun.

2k11 is one of the GOAT. And besides 2k actually put some decent effort into the online side of NBA2K with their leagues.
Madden did zero last yr to improve online and shit was wack with all the disconnects ruining interest in the league, and unless I'm missing something looks to be same shit different year for 12.
Your WRs were great and Webster was supremely overrated. Anyway, as I was saying, if all you want is Raiders speed, then why not take the Raiders? Why is this even up for debate?Wellington said:Cmon, Giants DBs avg speed is like 85, I think the WRs are right around there if not slower. It's a major factor in how I have to call defensive plays.

[edit]And they'll be rated better at the DL and HB to boot!

2K has only fucked up one time, and that was either 2k10 or 2k9 when we couldn't advance in the playoffs lol. Other than that's it's been fine, but if you want to term it "state of emergency" that's fine too.
ANYWAYS
If we're gonna bend over and take it just say so..don't have to bring in other leagues

what has NBA 2k improved on with their online leagues? i mean, it's the same basic setup they have had for the last 7 or 8 years. wasn't there online leagues feature in the xbox version? it still hasn't changed. no drafts or continuous leagues. just because they fixed the horrible bugs from nba 2k10 doesn't count as an "improvement" in the sense that they didn't add anything.
the only game that can talk shit on madden as far as online franchise is NCAA, because it actually has a legit online dynasty feature. NBA 2k and MLB '11 aren't even on maddens level because they don't have progressions or drafts.
as far as madden disconnect issues, they fixed that about halfway through season 1 last year. hopefully they don't pull a 2k and release another buggy product then look for props when they fix shit that should've never been an issue from the beginning
