Drafting for Madden 15

What we could do is run a league based on head to head games rather than setting up an online franchise. This would be similar to what Paully is doing, but based on a longer season.

It depends how many teams we have but it will be trade off between having trades, player progressions, injuries, cap management, free agency or having none of that but also no CPU games.

Just something to think about.

Aye, I suggested something similar back in April, but everyone who responded preferred to go with the connected franchise format.

I wonder if we could do something like a Premier League format if numbers are scarce?

I know it takes away the fun of the offseason draft, free agency, trades etc, but it's not going to be much fun doing those things with 10 CPU games a season either.

If we had 15 players or less I think it might be something to strongly consider.

You could play everyone once, so if there was 15 people then you get 14 games, top 8 go into the playoffs. Then the person who finishes bottom of the league gets the first pick of who they want to play with the following season and go in that order, so we're switching teams every season too as an added bonus to add more fun. You'd easily bang through 3 seasons of that.

It'd be quite easy to keep a league table via Excel and fixtures could be made via a random generator.

I think (hope) we might get about 20 players on 360 which would make a connected franchise very feasible (not perfect, but okay), though that might be pushing it a bit.

15 or less and I would definitely be considering what you have suggested however.

To be honest, give junior heli arriving i wont have time to run a league in that fashion so someone else would need to take it over.

The PFL run a league in that fashion and it takes a fair bit of effort.

Half the fun for me is building my team through the draft etc so I think sticking with regular connected franchise would be better.

Now...to pick the Falcons or not, that is the question.

I'd prefer connected to, especially now after 6 seasons and 2 games, ive finally found out which attributes to enhance for each position

helimachoptor · 01-09-2014 7:38pm

Nah will be me, need to close down the forum

empacher · 01-09-2014 9:44pm

I have it for 360.

davetherave · 01-09-2014 10:48pm

I turned on the 360 there last night to play a bit of GTA, still waiting for Madden to be delivered, and I was sitting there wondering why the wireless controller had all four green lights flashing. Look at the console itself and there are every bodies three favourite red rings looking back at me. :eek:

After humming and hawwing for a few seconds I decide the best course of action is to try turning it off and on again. Sure enough it works, so I'm still in for the 360 league

(for now).

It's an original launch model so even if it does go I'd say that at 9 years I've gotten my moneys worth. :pac:
