Second Madden Franchise - Interest List

adrian522

Hi,

If you are interested in getting some more Madden games in please post in here.

I will be setting up either another Franchise or a human only league which would be played through a community.

Advantage of the community setup is not waiting around for the league to be advanced and No CPU games

Advantage of the real teams franchise would be to take an existing roster and trying to improve it via trades and drafts and replacing players as they retire etc.

I'd be thinking of either 2 games per week or 1 game every 5 days.

We would need at least 10-12 players to make this work. Please post below your interest and you preference for either online franchise or community based.

So far the following have expressed an interest:

helimachoptor
Raoul
madalig12
Pudsy33
empacher
adrian522 (obviously)
mcg (for Madden 13)
Shane.C
Lukebray
Paully D
SantryRed
NekoChan

McG

I think I'll leave it for now but might join you in Madden 13.

Shane.C

Yep, i'll play

Thanks, duly noted. TBH it might be then before we get this thing going...

The_Gatsby

I wonder who you'll pick :pac::pac:

Paully D

Would anyone be interested in getting a second Boards fantasy franchise going during the summer?

Easy to set up, lots of fun drafting & trading, and we could make it one game a week so it gives us an extra game each week.

Or would the interest not be there during the summer months?

helimachoptor

I'm happy with either a fantasy fran or a real one tbh.
But needs to be just one game a week

SantryRed

If another one was going to be run would a real team one not be better?

helimachoptor

Yeah i'd be happy to go with a real one tbh santry, time for a poll :pac:

Paully D

I'd play either to be honest, just throwing the suggestion out there

If we go real franchise it would be great if it was run as Adrian has proposed in the OP and like the PFL over on the Immature Gamers forum as like has been mentioned there's no waiting around and no CPU games.

It'd be another 3 weeks before I could get involved mind, but if we could get it discussed more definitively it would be great

SantryRed

I don't know how I'd fit it in but for a PFL style I'd give it a bash :pac:

adrian522

Hi, so it looks like we have 9 people signed up, I'll give until Monday evening to see if anyone else joins, then I'll plough ahead using real teams and playing in a dedicated community. There will only be human v human games and we will play every 5 days or once per week.

Is that OK with everyone?

Sounds good

madalig12

Good stuff.

NekoChan

count me in as well, i need as much game time as i can get so i start actually winning some games

adrian522

Can no longer edit the first post but I will create a new thread once we know the final numbers...

Let me know what you need to update and I can do it

adrian522

Could you add SantryRed and NekoChan to the interested list.

I'm assuming Paully and McG are still going to wait for M:13?

I'm in now

adrian522

OK, so we have 11 players at the moment, mcG, any chance you would jump in to bring us to 12 if no one else signs up? 11 is a horrible number to try and build a league around.

Danger_dave1

Do you have etloveslsd down? He'll play I'd say

adrian522

OK cool, if he plays that will give us 12...

Just need to figure out the format then I guess...

helimachoptor

tbh, i dont mind having a proper franchise even though it will mean a lot of CPU games.

Afraid not. I'm dropping out of the primary league too. Might be back with M13.

Danger_dave1

I'd say either a PFL style one. Or if you have 12 .. Have 3 full divisions and that's it.

Can you point me to the rules or the setup for the PFL can't seem to find anything on that site since the move.

Ah McG

The_Gatsby

Any idea when we'll be starting?

adrian522

Hi, It looks like we have all our entrants so we will do a draft this week. I'll setup a draft thread where people will post their preferred team.

The Draft order will mirror the most recent franchise draft.

I am open to suggestions on the format but with 12 people I think we play every other opponent once and then progress to playoffs (Top 4) semi's and Final.

Another option would be to split into groups, 3 groups of 4. Play each group opponent twice and play 1 team at your level once from the other groups. That would give 8 games. 3 group winners + 1 best runner up would go to playoffs.

Any thoughts on this guys? I'd like to get it going as quickly as possible.

Draft Order(I'm not sure on the tie breakers, but let me know if I've got it wrong):

1. Pudsy33 5-11
2. NekoChan 6-10
3. madalig 6-10
4. Etloveslsd 6-10
5. Lukebray 6-10
6. empacher 9-7
7. Raoul 9-7
8. helimachoptor 10-6
9. Paully D 12-4
10 adrian522 12-4
11. Shane.C 14-2
12. Santry Red 13-3

helimachoptor

looks ok, i'm the Titans or there'll be bannings :eek:

SantryRed

I'm gonna be largely unavailable for the first bit of this but I'll make up on the games before the play offs begin.

Yeah first way sounds best I think. Is it a fantasy league or normal teams?

adrian522

It will be normal teams so we will just play them like friendlies in a dedicated community. The winner of each game will post up the result and the stats and I will keep a league table updated.
Need to decide the tie breaking scenarios, I think it will go on the result between the teams, assuming there are no ties that should do us.

In the event of a tie between the 2 teams and identical records we may use most TDs or points difference.

me-skywalker

well if you taking names for madden 13 then im Defo up for it then.

adrian522

OK no worries, you not interested in this time around?

Does anyone have the draft order from the last draft so I can finalise the positions of the teams with the same record?

Also tonight I'll set-up a community and send an invite to all the participants. Please make sure to play all games in the community.

I'll go with 8-min quarters unless someone has a preference for longer games.

We can then do the draft tomorrow, so have a think about the team you will select. If you are not going to be around tomorrow please PM me the teams you would like and I will select your choice if still available, failing that I will select the best available team based on overall rating, can't say fairer than that.

I'll allow 30 mins per person to make their selection. Hopefully start at 11am tomorrow.

Well I was thinking if we had a separate community we could use the stats from that instead of doing everything manually.I don't mind either way to be honest.

PM me the teams you want in order and I'll pick for you if you are not around.
