How about since the league we're doing here is real teams, adrian could do a fantasy draft for the bpl? I would love a fantasy draft league.

Would that even be possible? Would it not have to be a cc too?

League implies CC.

I wonder how long it takes T Sizzle to recover if pre existing injuries are on. Good thing I have been practising without him!

I think we could maybe do with another mode, give people a chance to draft a fantasy team and also give newcomers a league to join given the main one is now full.

I'll stick up a thread to gauge interest.

I've had a look at the FA pool and jesus christ we have quite a few to choose from. High cap room teams will have a field day. Are we doing FA bidding? Can we? My only hope is I can sign former Panthers RT Jeff Otah.

SantryRed · 15-09-2012 12:15PM

Unfortunately we can't do FA bidding for the start of the season so we will be picking in reverse order of the draft. Only way to do it unfortunately. I'll have the league set up by 2:30/3 today.

I don't really get how that will work. so since I picked 26th does that mean that I need to wait for 6 teams to pick up whoever they want? or just one player?.

I think the 32nd team picks one player, then 31 picks one player and so on up to first team. Then either reverse the process or its open season

SantryRed · 15-09-2012 03:09PM

Heading on now to set up the league lads. Invite will be sent to all of you.

HowAreWe · 15-09-2012 03:18PM

about the FA , how will we keep track etc? are there announcements in the online franchise or will we sticky a thread? might sound like a stupid question, just wondering.

PerrinV2 · 18-09-2012 10:23PM

Are the players ratings updated every week?

Pudsy33 · 19-09-2012 09:02PM

Some of my players in the connected careers rosters are far higher rated then they are in the default depth chart. This scheme stuff is nonsense!

AIR-AUSSIE · 25-09-2012 03:58PM

Have started a connected career as a created coach of my lowly Rams. Have started the season 2-2. 32nd for offense, 1st for Defense

.

Picked up Burress and Houshmandzadeh on FA as well as a decent FB. Bradford is useless at long passes so pretty much have to rely on west coast offense with Jackson doing his best with the run game. Should be an interesting season ahead.

You should involve Brian Quick, he is good in my game. I find Bradford great in this game. I had a stroke of luck in my second season, found a little known tight end called Aaron Hernandez in free agency during the preseason. He makes Bradford even better.

May have cut him or he's injured will have to check. I find Bradford terrible on long passes, his rating is only 70 or something. I have severe lack of TEs too, who are usually my best players for receiving, the way I play.

Atm I'm leading heavily on the run, which allows me to use play action a bit to get long receptions otherwise I just pass short. I'm thinking of drafting a QB if my season goes terrible. Otherwise a WR, TE and some LB.

Does anyone know which coach goal you have to achieve to avoid getting fired in your first year?

Emperor1989 · 26-09-2012 09:00PM

I am completely lost, I have started a Coach Career but we are in Week 3 in a random league.

Does anyone have a league they like to invite me to or just even to play random online games can't even get a normal head to head work.

Zero XP points and basically completely lost from the other madden's. I know this is new but joined a league and I don't know when i play.

HELP

Am I the only one who listens to Ray Lewis' speech every time they put the game on? It's awesome

Yes you are. While it's pretty damn epic and I have watched it a few times, I think it's an absolute joke how long it takes to get from the Xbox Dashboard to the Madden home screen.

Press start, wait 30 seconds to connect to EA servers, load a whole load of random ****, download latest rosters, a menu pops up asking if I'm looking for franchise mode... NO! I'M LOOKING TO ****ING PLAY MADDEN!! (Seriously, why does that come up EVERY TIME??) then I am told that voice recognition isn't optimised for my area... a) I DONT GIVE A ****. b) I dont have a Kinect. Then finally a few more sweeping screens and a big thud noise and huzzah! We're in.

Agree with that totally Mikey.

Its different for each team. My first season with the Rams my goal was to make the play offs. To find it, it's on the second screen on you careers menu, between the news and actions.

Not to tell you what to do with your team, but having experience with the Rams, you need to address your Oline especially RT and LG. Remember you have The Redskins first round pick, so keep an eye on how they are doing.

We have a spot in our league, PM the commish, either Santryred or Raoul. If you are in a league, on your actions screen it will tell you who you are playing. Send that person a message over xbox live or PS3 equivalent to arrange the game
