helimachoptor

I voted xbox one but really if it suits the league to not change I won't and if it does I will

I've genuinely no idea what i'll be doing .

Probably staying with 360. As it is I only use the xbox for madden and the occasional bit of GTA. I can't justifying spending 400 odd euro to do that with XBO

I won't be buying madden on the 360 anyway, I might get it for the xbox one if I have one and the early reviews of the game are good.

If it is not a serious upgrade on Madden 25 then I'm not sure I'd buy it!

Also what will they call Madden in 2025? Madden 25 2?

Already got a x1 and will be getting madden for that.

Not fully sure what I am doing yet. Originally was planning to buy One to coincide with the new Madden release in September but my disappointment with this version of the game has me rethinking. Most likely scenario is that I get One at Christmas so might not even get Madden until then.

Already have Xbox One and will be getting Madden for it.

PerrinV2

Siding more towards the ps4 atm,not impressed by this xbox one at all.
Probably won't be getting either till next madden release anyway.

Already have the Xbox One (Madden 25 is a far superior game on Xbox One in my opinion, visually and more importantly gameplay wise) and will definitely be getting Madden 26

Sort of along these lines and my TV just broke so looks like I will be buying a new one.

By the time Madden 26 comes out I might have an xbox one.

(I presume next year is Madden 15?)

I think the xbox one will drop in price soon! Can't see the xbox 360 version of the new madden game being worth buying myself

Just to let anyone thinking of purchasing a console. HMV is re opening next weekend on graft on street. There selling xb1 and ps4s for 100€ cheaper that weekend . That means the ps4 is 300 and xb1 400. I expect the same promotion could be run in Galway when the new store opens in a few weeks, and any other re openings .

Paully D

Anyone else decided what they will be doing for Madden 15? I was strongly thinking of switching to the Xbox One during the summer but finances are likely to dictate that it will have to be at Christmas, if at all this year now.

I think this may be the year that the league will suffer a bit as we're likely to be in a bit of limbo as some will be on next-gen, some will be on the current console and some will switch at varying points during the season.

I'd much prefer XB1 but to keep the league going I'd think about getting it for 360

mikemac1

Will be staying on Xbox 360

I only use it for Madden or to stream baseball and Netflix

I can't justify 400 euro for one game

Same here, I only really use it for Madden and Netflix. I'd prefer to stay with the 360.

I was tempted to go out and get Titanfall at the weekend, then realised id probably play it for the weekend and then not bother playing it.

If i lose interest in madden, ill be packing up my xbox id say

Raoul

Buy a Xbox one & Get Madden 15

Same as most, only really use it for Madden and the odd game of something else and I can't justify buying a new console. Definitely not before Xmas.

The_Gatsby

My xbox is on the blink so if it breaks I'll probably be getting an XB1. Otherwise I'll stick to the xbox for M15

guns4all

Not 100% if ill be back yet but would go with 360 version.

Heli you should pick up Titanfall its a blast!!

Right lads, won a bit of cash on the lotto. Are we definitely sticking with xbox? Nobody is going to jump ship to the PlayStation?

helimachoptor

Raoul

I'll be sticking with Xbox anyway though I'm unsure when I'll be upgrading, probably around Christmas time.

Well it was Enough to let us all know about it :P.

I will be sticking with xbox til at least Christmas as i have not won anything on the Lotto...........yet

giffney1991

It's gonna be pretty small numbers on both sides I think! Anyone in the 360 league won't wanna leave their teams and more people will be migrating over to the xbox 1 from what's left!

The_Gatsby

Buy a Xbox one & Get Madden 15

I won €4 on an all cash gold the other day Raoul, beat that!

My Xbox is on it's last legs so I think I'll have an Xbox one by Christmas for sure

PerrinV2

If its small numbers on both sides would it better if everyone picked teams within the same conference?
Otherwise it could be 1/2 teams a division

guns4all

Wasn't gonna be back for next Madden as had planned to travel but thats on the back burner for a while, so am undecided on what to do.
Birthday normally falls around Madden Time so may invest in an Xbox 1 if people are heading that way

Raoul

Buy a Xbox one & Get Madden 15

A few grand on a local lotto. .

Looks like I have decided on the xbox then. I don't even play the xbox that much but I deserve a treat . Won't be purchasing until next week. If people were staying on xbox 360, I would buy madden 15 for the 360. It is the game I enjoy the most.

Yeah, I agree. This coming Madden 15 season will be the one that suffers a lot because as you say it will be split, but from Madden 16 the vast majority will be on Xbox One I think so we should be okay after that.

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. 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 each gameweek.

As u said though it'll take a lot of the fun out of it if there is no draft free agency or trades.
Also real life form would come into it with teams and players on hot and cold streaks due to whats happen in the NFL rather than in our league.

Rock Lesnar

I probably wont be buying the game if there is not enough lads to play a decent league with, the reason i buy it is for the competition on here, playing CPU is just a pain in the Ass

Raoul

Buy a Xbox one & Get Madden 15

Yeah it is a pain in the ass. But at least with the CPU level up a bit since last season, it is actually a competitive game.

It would be great if Madden would allow you to create a league with as many human players as you like and put all the players that aren't on selected teams in FA or something or do a fantasy league with 16 teams or something.

Rock Lesnar

To be honest i find the CPU no harder, im letting them score so i can still make plays and get TD's otherwise its over before HT and i'd have waste the clock and run it.

Raoul

Buy a Xbox one & Get Madden 15

I haven't lost a CPU game but there have been scares where for some reason their qb becomes elite :S

The_Gatsby

Buy a Xbox one & Get Madden 15

Yeah I'd be in favour of doing the normal season. The part I enjoy most is building and developing my team. Obviously human game are better than CPU games but they're not that bad since the CPU has become fairly competitive.

PADRAIC.M

Buy a PS4 & Get Madden 15

If you're the type of player that is a slow starter, it can be difficult against the CPU, I find if I can start the game by getting the ball first or force a quick 3 and out but can't hit the 35 limit by half time, but of course late in the forth the CPU QB becomes elite making perfect passes, my last 2 CPU games CPU has scored 16 points inside the 2 min warning after been shutout for the whole game with less than 50 yards on the ground and through the air. And the fake punt in the forth quarter drives me mad!

Paully D

Yeah I agree, I'd much rather do the proper league, but even though the CPU games are harder without doubt it's still pretty boring playing them once you get a taster of the human games. Also, free agency and the draft are far less fun as they make stupid pick-ups and draft for positions and players they don't have a need for.

You never know though I guess, we had a full 32 player league at the start of Madden 13 which is one hell of an achievement for an Irish forum, we might hit 20 + players again if we can get a few back.

The team building,draft,FA is half the fun though,especially taking a weaker team and building them up.
If we stayed to a conference we'd have pretty close to full divisions,we'd still have cpu games though but only 4 and every1 would have the same amount and the conference final would pretty much be the superbowl.

Knex*

The real fall out would be weather its AFC (pffft) or the NFC (duh), that we choose.

:pac:

Nelbert

Buy a PS4 & Get Madden 15

Or the embarrassment of losing the Superbowl to the CPU. Kind of thing that deserves a serious forfeit if it ever were to happen.

guns4all

Well hopefully the CPU might be more challenging in next yrs game.
Either that or we increase the difficulty before we start the league.

guns4all

An idea if we cant get numbers for either system with madden 15.
If we manage 16 players for either we cud take a team from each conference. No trading between ur own teams.
Whoever picks first in 1st conference picks last in the 2nd so u shud have one good team and one project team

no possible to do that really, your GT can only be attached to one league
