Madden 25 Cup - Bracket, Draft, Games Etc

Paully D

This is the thread for the Madden 25 Cup. Throw all discussion, scheduling, game reports etc in here.

Here's the bracket, generated randomly from Challonge.com who also randomly generate seeds which is used to give the draft order for picking teams:



As we have 12 people, there's 4 players who have received byes into the QF's.

The draft order is as follows:

1) Giffney
2) Padraic
3) Heli
4) Empacher
5) Dave
6) Mike
7) Knex
8) Rock
9) Kopfan
10) Paully
11) Pudsy
12) Tripperman

Giffney, you can kick off drafting as soon as you wish, then PM Padraic after your pick, who in turn will PM Heli after his pick and so on.

All matchups are a best of 3 games series and feel free to start scheduling and playing games against your opponent as soon as both of you have drafted your team.

It's exactly 7 weeks from today until Madden 15 is released so there is no real rush in getting games done as we should have plenty of time.

Good luck to all.

Seahawks...only chance I'll ever get them!

Knex*

Question, which Roster is it for the tournament? Same roster that was in game for the start of the Franchise mode, or the one that's updated and available in head to head?

I've just remembered Dave's post on the cup interest thread in which he said he's away from Saturday-Friday, so in order to keep this going we're going to skip ahead to the #6 pick.

I'm sure everyone will have picked their team before Dave gets back on Friday, and with only 12 teams in it everyone is going to get a good team anyway, so Dave can pick whatever team he wants from the remaining teams left at the end when he gets back.

Mike has been PM'd and is on the (imaginary) clock.

So far we've got:

|Name|Team
1. |Giffney|Seattle Seahawks
2. |Padraic|San Francisco 49ers
3. |Heli|Denver Broncos
4. |Empacher|Kansas City Chiefs
5. |Dave|
6. |Mike| St Louis Rams
7. |Knex| Green Bay Packers
8. |Rock| Philadelphia Eagles
9. |Kopfan| Washington Redskins
10.|Paully| Baltimore Ravens
11.|Pudsy| New England Patriots
12.|Tripperman|

They are good now, after the continual rating updates, but they were nowhere near that good in the connected franchise, tbh.

There's a reason they were on of the last teams off the board :pac:

Turn on my TV to play Knex and the ****ing thing blows up. Well, that's a bit dramatic but the power cable has gone. Jesus wept.

On that note, if anyone knows where I could source one for a Samsung, that would be great!

EDIT - €8 on Ebay. I'll probably die from electric shock when I plug it in. :pac:
