Draft Day -> Proposal Within ** Please Read UPDATED**

helimachoptor

So it's likely that we'll have the game week 1 patch on the 10th or so of September.

Whats the view on drafting, do people want to do it before this date?
Given teams have to be @ the 53 man roster on saturday and changes are not likely, only a few changes in ratings I'd propose we do the draft beginning 11am Monday 8th September

Each person will have 6 hours to make their team pick.

I am not going to limit people to picking in a conference or a division but it's ideal if we have at least one person in each division. Appreciate this will lead to CPU games but no matter what option we go with we'll have them and it's only for one season.


So to summarise:
Draft day is on Monday 8th Sept
We will begin the league (5 day gameweek) once the update is issued.
Given we'll have had plenty of time to practice i propose to skip through pre-season (injuries off)

Any objections?

The commish (heli) will give you a team, probably the best available or maybe put you in a division to flesh it out!

helimachoptor

Best available but just keep an eye on the forum, I'll pm you once it's your pick anyway

helimachoptor

Or you can pm me with you're preferred teams, I think you're picking towards the end so take that into account!

Is this a 360 or xbox one draft?

helimachoptor

360, someone needs to set up the Xbox one league..

How many people actually have the game on 360? I am not sure about getting it myself.

helimachoptor

Just an update lads, it looks like there is a roster up on the 11th of September or a day or 2 after, which is thursday week, so once that drops in we'll kick off

empacher

How many people do we have now?

helimachoptor

Im hoping about 13... but ill send a PM at the weekend to get final numbers..

If there isnt enough for a half decent league ill look at other options

helimachoptor

Hey lads, it looks like there is going to be a roster update in the next couple of days.

Are you guys happy to get cracking with the league once we draft?

Yup!

I am waiting to see how many others are playing first...I am fairly busy and probably shouldn't be getting it but if there is enough interest then I might.

Draft will be kicking off on Monday, if people arent sure if they are playing then they will lose their pick, cant have people reserving teams.

That is grand.

Heli any idea when the first patch is out? Or will it be out with the roster update. I've started to notice a few bugs on the 360. Punts seem to be getting muffed a good bit. Game freezing at certain points. They could be elusive to MUT I hVent really played the other modes.

I haven't had any problems in online lobby games

Ea said they are working on issues, but we can start the franchise and the patches will be implemented automatically, we don't have to wait for them

helimachoptor

Roster update is available now, so we'll start once were drafted

PADRAIC.M

Sweet so we starting Monday still?

helimachoptor

Draft is Monday, would imagine a Tuesday/Wednesday start depending on how long it takes people to come back.

I'll be sending pm's to everyone later that's on the draft list so if they come back and they are playing and have a team ready I'm happy to speed it up

empacher

Roster update is out

Start the draft....start the draft......start the draft.
