Xbox 360: Madden 2010: Franchise Sign-Up

[TheOneBigWill]

Alright, the FA pick list is as follows:

1. Jets
2. Redskins
3. Vikings
4. Patriots
5. Panthers
6. Cowboys
7. Cardinals
8. Saints
9. Jaguars

OKay, 24 hours down..

Now 'On the Clock' are Brian's Washington Redskins.

Also, I allowed Ty to go ahead and make his FA pick since he won't be here all day tomorrow when it will be his natural turn.

 

[TheOneBigWill]

Also, LuvSongWrita and Marquis are the only individuals left to play. I'll speak with Marquis tonight, as I'm sure he'll play now knowing he's one of the last to.. and we'll await whether any codes LSW may have gotten will work good enough for him to play his game.

If LSW can get his game played tomorrow, I'll be simming the Week forward tomorrow. That way he may be able to play another before a 48 hour code expires. I'm also checking through my games for codes as well, incase any he may have gotten don't work.

I have a really bad corner with 99 returning if you want him. I'll take your worst corner for him. I like havin' 4 corners.

I played my game yesterday, and in my 3 chances I had at kick returns, I found out that the guy I have now is pretty damn good at it. In fact, I put a highlight up on the online franchise website, because I was happy with my 4th or 5th round draft pick returning kicks for me.

I don't think I am going to need a Kick Returner anymore, but thanks for offering.

 

[Minor League Brian]

I'll pick now.

 

[Cena's Little Helper]

If I were to go by that it would lead to:

Girlfriend moving out>Daughter going with>Child Support>Can't afford house>kicked out of house>No internet>No Online Madden>Suicide.

Do you want that guilt on your conscious Will?

Then, Madden is the most important thing in your life? I mean, your chain leads me to believe that you couldn't live without it.

 

[TheOneBigWill]

Alright, the FA pick list is as follows:

1. Jets
2. Redskins
3. Vikings
4. Patriots
5. Panthers
6. Cowboys
7. Cardinals
8. Saints
9. Jaguars

Okay, 24 hours down.. since Ty has already selected a guy..

Now 'On the Clock' are Moon Knight's New England Patriots.

 

[Minor League Brian]

Then, Madden is the most important thing in your life? I mean, your chain leads me to believe that you couldn't live without it.

This more of a progression of events in my eyes.

 

[Ty Burna]

Then, Madden is the most important thing in your life? I mean, your chain leads me to believe that you couldn't live without it.

Twas a joke tdigle. I don't play Madden that much other than our online franchise games and often times Will has to remind me multiple times that I have a game to play.

LEAGUE UPDATE:​

Now this is a work in progress, and I want everyone's opinion on the three options below.

Right now, I'm almost guaranteeing I'll be going with Option #1 to begin.. and if enough people like Option #2, we'll see if the FA list improves come next off-season. If it doesn't, Option #2 is suddenly very realistic to happen.

Option 1: Superbowl Prize Pack:​

For winning the Superbowl, you get ultimately screwed in the Draft and take a risk for any FA's being available. So to counter-act being a Champion and not having to pay by worsening your team.. we're going to allow 1 trade for anyone on your team 65 or above (your choice) in exchange for 1 cpu player that is 90 or under. (your choice)

Option 2: Equal Rights:​

Instead of just the Superbowl winner being awarded, everyone is allowed to exchange one lesser player for one higher overall player.

The option here would be giving up a 70-75, in exchange for an 84-89. (So if you trade a 70, you get an 84. And trading a 75, for an 89.)

Option 3: Off-Season Shake-Up:​

I can already see no one liking this idea based off never wanting to do it willingly. lol But I'm throwing it out there.

EVERYONE MUST CUT ONE PLAYER.. that is between 80-90 ovr. Then, you can sign someone with the Option 2 rules. (70-75, for an 84-89) The players that are cut will reboost our lacking FA core and more or less shake things up and move players between human players.

 

[TheOneBigWill]

Out of some random act of greatness.. I FOUND A WAY TO CUT CPU PLAYERS!!!

So, here is the deal. I'm working out how many players to cut to where I'm not screwing the cpu teams over. Yet I'm going to make our Free Agency lists during the off-season suddenly better than the highest guy available being a 68.

Once I do this, we'll continue with our Draft order that was originally had. However, we may go first to last, last to first, first to last. That way everyone on the bottom of the FA list has an equal opportunity to pick newly cut stars.

More on this as I think about it - work out the details. Until then, we still have FA going on and even if we DO begin with newly cut players, it'll go in original order. (beginning w/ Big P)

 

[TheOneBigWill]

Okay, with the recent news of being able to release cpu controlled players I'm SUSPENDING FREE AGENT SIGNING.

The last FA signing that was approved was by the Patriots.

I am compiling a list of Players that I will cut from every Cpu controlled team. (be warned, if you are trying to make a trade for anyone - they may or may not be accidentally cut and become a FA. If this happens, I didn't mean it intentionally HOWEVER, they were selected to become a FA based on the following decisions.)

Reasons Players Most Likely will be Cut:

1. Starter older than back-up, with the Overalls close to/same/under.
2. Depth at position.
3. Rookies likely to replace original starters.

Once all the players are released, I will re-draw names just like I did with this previous list. Upon doing so, we will go from first to last, then last to first.

With that being said, welcome back - I hope you've played your game, and if so - Week 2 is coming up!

Also, I would like to set-up a 3 day deadline in which to get our games played. We only have 1 human v. human game (Ty's Vikings v. Simpsons' Cowboys) that I will allow them enough time to work something out. But as long as they get something set within the next day or two, not wait weeks to figure out.

With Christmas coming this Friday, I will allow for another break to those leaving AFTER our Week 2 games. (there is no solid reason why anyone should not be able to get in their Week 2 games if the week is advanced today - which if all games have been played, it WILL BE.)

 

[Baller]

i will be away from thursday - sunday. and week 3 i play Brian so just a quick heads up

 

[TheOneBigWill]

Week 2 is now available to play. I have set the Deadline to get your games played by Tuesday, before Midnight. (central time)

Ty and Simpsons_fanatic are the ONLY human/human match-up. I need one/both of them to contact me and confirm when their game will be played. If they need an additional day, I NEED TO KNOW BEFORE TUESDAY!! I've already told Ty about this, he said he'd try to get in touch with him. So just get me the time when you both plan on playing your game.

Remember, get an actual time/date set-up. Not just a plan of when you assume you'll be online.

Everyone else - DO NOT WAIT and assume you can play on Tuesday. If the human/human game is played, I will be simming Tuesday night by midnight. There is no reason why cpu games can't happen today, to be honest.

TRADE NEWS: All trades were approved and okay'd by me. Just so there is no misunderstandings on anything.

FREE AGENTS NEWS: I have begun cutting players. I will draw a new list order sometime today, but won't begin the official 24 hour clock until all cpu players have been released. I will also post a complete list of names being cut.

 

[simpsons_fanatic742]

I messaged Ty on XBOX, but I'll message him here too just in case.

Ty, I can play our game whenever you have free time because I'm on holidays right now. I'm in EST just so you know. So message me whenever you can play (either here or on xbox, doesn't matter).

GIMMICK INFRINGEMENT! WTF? :sarcasm:

LEAGUE UPDATE:​

Now this is a work in progress, and I want everyone's opinion on the three options below.

Right now, I'm almost guaranteeing I'll be going with Option #1 to begin.. and if enough people like Option #2, we'll see if the FA list improves come next off-season. If it doesn't, Option #2 is suddenly very realistic to happen.

Option 1: Superbowl Prize Pack:​

Option 2: Equal Rights:​

Option 3: Off-Season Shake-Up:​

Are we going to do any of them? I like 1 and 2, and am not opposed to 3. If we do option 1, when can I get my player (if year 1 is included, which it should be)?

 

[Baller]

After playing my second game, Fitzgerald leads the league in receiving and rushing touchdowns

 

[TheOneBigWill]

Are we going to do any of them? I like 1 and 2, and am not opposed to 3. If we do option 1, when can I get my player (if year 1 is included, which it should be)?

Yes, regardless we are going through with the Superbowl Prize Pack. So any player on your team 65 or above (your choice) you can trade off to any cpu team, for someone 90 or under. (your choice)

I still say you should just do the Braylon Edwards trade - since its "realistic" and all, but I'll let it be your choice 100%.

As for the other options.. #3 is going to be rejected by more members of this Franchise quicker than Baller's quest to become MVP of the league.

And #2 is likely to be shot down, now that I can simply "cut" cpu controlled players enough to make our FA core.

Speaking of which.. I have the initial line-up of Free Agents. (it'll be in a post after this one)

What is the order for these free agents going to be?

 

[TheOneBigWill]

What is the order for these free agents going to be?

I have yet to draw names and determine the order, but I will do so AFTER the Carolina/Minnesota game.

 

[Baller]

I'm too lazy to quote that MVP remark, but Larry Fitzgerald will win the MVP as I have found the key to his success against the computers.
