Madden 16 - Boards Franchise Plans

Paully D

I don't want to step on anyone's toes so hopefully it doesn't come across that way as I know I haven't been around much for Madden 15, but with the game coming out officially in 8 days (Friday 28th August) and gameplay surfacing all around the internet, I thought it would be interesting to get a view of how many people on here are planning to purchase the game and join our league, so we can start putting the wheels in motion in terms of plans.

The format is Xbox One as I think it's fair to say that the Xbox 360 appears to be obsolete now with the Boards Xbox 360 league closing in December 2014. However, for PS4 users who want to join a league, Madden PFL I believe run a PS4 league on their website. Boards players also play over there too.

Any suggestions, ideas, thoughts etc for the Madden 16 franchise - feel free to fire them into this thread.

Poll to follow with the question "will you be joining the Boards franchise on Xbox One?".

I'm up to do this league again, I think there could be a good few cpu games again this version, so should we try to group in one conference?

davetherave

No

Yeah, I'll be planning to make a return this year.
Couldn't justify buying the xbone version after upgrading from the 360 last Nov.

Ah, that's a shame. You'll be a big loss considering the work you have done for the franchise.

Best of luck with the Masters and baby, though. I completed my Masters during Madden 14/25 and can assure you finding the time for Madden during it is nigh on impossible. I can only imagine what it would be like with a baby too!

Best of luck heli, youl be missed round here with your guideing hand for helping us novices out of cap trouble,

Lads I noticed lately on the Xbox forum gt page when i put my gt up on it, some people had Madden 15 and looking for games would it be a good idea to put up a post there about the league and see if anyone maybe is interested in joining the league if the decided to buy Madden 16?

i was chatting to the wife there actually a few mins ago and she asked did I want her to pick up a copy :eek:

I'd be tempted as i think the titans could be really good, My dilemma is i'd prefer to play boards rather than PFL as the more CPU games would suit my schedule but playing CPU aint not fun and i cant commit to the PFL with so many human games

In january, 18 month old, new born and part way through the masters, wont be having time for much of anything id say!

The Titans won't be really good. No QB, No WR, No HB. Walker is good, that's about it.

Also what does this mean?

playing CPU aint not fun

so it is fun?

helimachoptor

Maybe

Mariota progress quickly
Wright is a fantastic receiver
Hunter and DGB are huge targets and will be making catches over DB'S

Sankey isn't good but I think Cobb will be a good option.

The line is a mess though

Ain't no fun

PADRAIC.M

No

I'll be back for this again if we have the numbers!

Paully D

No

6 so far. I'll fire off a few PM's tonight (if I get a chance) to the usual suspects to see if there's much interest. I'm sure we will get some new guys too.

Pudsy33

No

Good chance I'll be picking up an xbone fairly soon so I'll probably be back.

I'm not sure what i'll be doing yet, all depends on numbers i suppose, no interest in 13 or 14 CPU games a season.

No

I'll try get something done tonight or tomorrow, are we doing 3 or 4 seasons?

Reaper KH

No

If you have low numbers perhaps a single league idea
cpu games are hard to keep an interest in and most of mine would be simmed but saying that I would join the franchise to see how it would develop like everything
"Play it and people will come"

i'm now going to get the game however, i'll likely play PFL as i can only manage one league and dont want to play the CPU all the time, sorry guys

Probably get back into pfl myself after the summer now and will have more time in the winter evenings, just undecided between the pro 8 and pro 10! 10 min quarters is a long time!

Have put a post on Xbox forum and bumped one on the American football forum, so hopefully we might see a few new faces

Heli man I'll come back if you come back :pac:

You know you want to continue the series of Titans vs Jags, you can't leave until you get a W.

Think of me like The Dudley Boys. They just came back to WWE last night and are there out of nowhere to **** the tag-team division up. I'm here to do the same in Madden. (http://www.balls.ie/american-sports/the-dudley-boyz-return-to-wwe/306149)

I am sickened to see the success that Perrin is having and would highly enjoy putting an end to that, although my total lack of playing Madden for a year would probably mean I get whooped.

I'm in for the league. Paully PM'd me and as I said to him I'm lucky enough to get a free copy of this bad boy so I can surely fit in a single game of Madden every week, although I may miss a few, but sure feck it, it's better than CPU Jags.

Raise your Bortles.

guns4all

Hey guys,

With Guns Jr arriving a day now i doubt i will be getting Madden this time around.

Its been a pleasure playing in this league for the past few years; developing season long rivalries, wheeling and dealing to get the players i wanted, and of course free agency!

Hopefully ill be back for next years game, good luck with the newest version and i'm sure to stick my head in for a look to see how you guys are getting on.

Cheers!

I have no desire to get my ass whooped, you and perrin are 2 players i probably can never beat!

Berty44

I am still in 360 Land but I am hoping to get a One in the next few months and if Madden is good I might get it and try to get back into one league.

PerrinV2

No

I'll probably be back for at least the 1st season,really wasn't a fan of this years and so far I've been reading alotta issue's come out about the new one.

With only 11 drafting,I think they may drop,although they're one the few teams I've played and they're not bad.

I think your one conference idea sounds good perrin, we have 11 or at most 13 which leaves 3 or 5 times should new people come along during the franchise, does anyone see us hitting more then 16 people this season?

No

With something like this I think the majority would have to be in favour of it,if not keep as is.

It may do,I might add a poll to that thread or create a new one even to see if people are happy with the current structure of the league.
