Worked perfect.

I picked the Titans. There's 3 owners registered so far, Damager78, SmashMode and TMV Cobalt Lion.

I'm ready for some football but hopefully we can get some more people in on this so we can play more games against each other.

You still haven't selected a team yet Nomad.

Don't get scared now that you don't have your Eagles security blanket : )

Only 3 people signed up so far.

[quote=Skinny Tee;625917]It shouldn't be too late. I'm not officially registered yet so as far as I know things haven't started.

Make sure you get the code on the instruction booklet of Madden 10 and also that you're on the 360.

I'll send you a friend request if you're in to playing heads up. I'm TMV Cobalt Lion.[/quote]

Hey mattick just supervise that people stick with their team or do actual trades because it0's common for guys to join a team drop the top players and them sign them in their real team as Free Agents.... there's no need for cheating

Re: Madden '10 xbox 360 league
 

can we start our games?

You're crazy Monk : )

Playing the Skins is only fun in Dynasty mode because you can right the wrongs of our team.

Looks like we can get a good number people in this league. I'm pumped to play. I've never done one of these before.

Re: Madden '10 xbox 360 league
 

I've got a couple more people I'm trying to get set up, we should be able to start by the end of this week.

You'll have 1 week to get your game in, after that everything gets simmed and we move on to the next week. Depending on when we start that will determine what day will be the weekly deadline.

I always, and I do mean always run with the Skins. It's kind of my tradition. I find it hard to play with another team on Madden unless I'm playing my homie and we are choosing random teams. I piss him off so much because I will never leave them no matter how sorry they get.

Gotta stick with my Skins though !

Ah c'mon man buck up and pick another team, this is gonna be fun

Re: Madden '10 xbox 360 league
 

We'll get it started this weekend at the latest, I've got one more guy I work with that wants to play, he's just having trouble getting his online franchise code redeemed. As soon as he's in we'll get cranking.

If anyone knows anybody with a 360 and Madden 10, let them know about the league.

The more human players we have the better the league will be. If there are additional people interested feel free to join by this weekend. Tell a friend if they have Madden 10 and the 360.

Re: Madden '10 xbox 360 league
 

OK...

Not that I care that much but...there is an owner by the gamertag: Eli 2 Burress 17, who has signed Lee Evans for the Giants.

It seems like there are some transactions taking place that are a bit erratic. There's a couple of signings and releases of players that are taking place.

Like I said...I just enjoy playing, but the Giants just shored up their only offensive weakness by signing Lee Evans, who the Bills just randomly cut for no apparent reason.


Perhaps we should turn trades/FA off in this league due to the egregious transactions that could potentially take place.

Re: Madden '10 xbox 360 league
 

lol...I just found some more hardcore transactions that clearly favor the recipient team.

Looks like we've got our own little Al Davis running around because that owner managed to attain the services of Mike Wahle (current Seahawk LG), Jammal Brown (current Saints LT) and the free agent services of Jon Runyan and KGB.


If possible I'd recommend no trades or FA pickups. I don't know if that is possible because of injuries but I envision a lot of this chicanery if it's no holds barred.

Re: Madden '10 xbox 360 league
 

its not possilbe to cut of FA pickups......

Re: Madden '10 xbox 360 league
 

Skinny the commish does have the power of releasing people off of other teams

[quote=EARTHQUAKE2689;627420]Skinny the commish does have the power of releasing people off of other teams[/quote]

Being that we haven't started we should make all rosters default until we get things underway.

Then once we have all the owners set up and ready to start we can change the password and lock everyone out. I think due to the password's public exposure people are signing in our league to bad teams and dropping their standout players only to sign out of the league and then back in with a better team to pick those players up from free agency.


Things are a little jumbled right now but hopefully Matty's commish powers can make everything go back to default since we've yet to start.

Skinny I was going to say this also... what he did is that he joinned the franchsie as the Bills dropped Evens in free agency and then joinned back as the Giants and signned him ... that's cheating he should be banned or make him drop the player and nobody sign him or trade it back to buffalo for nothing

Re: Madden '10 xbox 360 league
 

once trades are made, you can't default the rosters back, the only you can do is start a new league.... but if people are trading players to other players, whether you think its fair or not...... its no illegal

Re: Madden '10 xbox 360 league
 

Nomad it's not fair whe he signs in as a teanm drops the top players to free agency then signs back in to his real team and signs them from free agency

Re: Madden '10 xbox 360 league
 

Ok I started up a fresh league and sent out some invites, if you need one PM me here with your gamertag. If anyone wants to play games with dropping players/picking them up you will be dropped from the league... simple as that.

Unbelievable that people have to cheat in a meaningless Madden league.

Let's keep this to Warpath members only. And I'm not going to give out the league info here, so again PM me for an invite.

Thanks

Re: Madden '10 xbox 360 league
 

So who all still signing up? thought we atleast had 6 to 8 players?

Re: Madden '10 xbox 360 league
 

Just wondering what are people's thoughts on players that use running QB, run around the backfield and get lucky shots down the field. Personally, I hate them (kinda like the people that never punt)...not that the game should be super realistic, but it just gets tiring.

I thought that was the whole reason they made outside-the-pocket throws more challenging in the new Madden.

I know it's not the same as the whole free agency scam that was happening in the previous league, but I don't think it is that different either in regards of fair play.

What would you prefer they do, ban scrambling QB's? Peyton Manning is just as affective as a scrambling QB, if you know how to run the offense right, plus its you D, thats gonna get you over..... not the offense. in my opinion

Well as I said, I think they made the whole accuracy thing to avoid this...or lessen it I guess...just like they made changes in all other aspects to the game to make it more accurate.

And I doubt Manning is much of a scrambling QB...I mean if you can juke defensive linemen with Manning in the game, well then you're damn good I guess.

Sorry, what i mean is Manning accuracy is just as affective as a scrambling QB, his passes or pin point, you know how to use him the right way, then, u just need a good D.

Re: Madden '10 xbox 360 league
 

I'm not a big fan of the running QB tricks but there are plays that you can make them pay for it. It's really easy to get QBs injured too so even if they do it for a couple of plays they'll risk his availability.

I've seen Brees be in full stride backwards and throw a forward pass to a receiver when he should have been sacked. It doesn't seem like Madden takes anything away for throwing in awkward positions.

People I play online always seem to throw the ball in the dirt just as I sack them without any intentional grounding calls. Really tough to get sacks due to this.

Remember bro in the grand scheme of things.... its just a game, its gonna be alot of flaws.... what i suggest you do is go in the lab, practice against a scrambling QB run schemes you like.... on D.
