Xbox 360: Madden 2010: Franchise Sign-Up

[TheOneBigWill]

And after the exclusive WZ Free Agency drawing.. the Pick Order is..

1. Minnesota Vikings
2. Jacksonville Jaguars
3. New Orleans Saints
4. Wasington Redskins
5. Carolina Panthers
6. Dallas Cowboys
7. New York Jets
8. New England Patriots
9. Arizona Cardinals

---------------------

Ty's Minnesota Vikings are 'On the Clock' and will have until 11pm tomorrow night, to make their selection.

If Ty does not make a selection, he can still make one at any time however the next person in line will get to go ahead with their pick, even if Ty has yet to make one.

On a side note, I WILL allow trading of selection spots. If someone would like to attempt moving picks with anyone else - and they agree, I will allow it. (both parties must say they accept)

Picks will go from 1st-9th, 9th-1st, 1st-9th. (which means, Baller will have the last 1st round pick, and the first 2nd round pick. Ty will have the last 2nd round pick, and first 3rd round pick.)

EDIT: Because the FA's aren't yet cut and available, to speed up the picking process - if you want ANY of the new "soon to be" available players, look at the list - announce your pick in here, and it'll be your new guy when available.

 

[Baller]

Anybody want to trade lol?

 

[TheOneBigWill]

Anybody want to trade lol?

I was hoping you'd ask. If you want my pick, I'll gladly trade. The best part of your pick is getting 2 in a row. I'll trade my 5th spot for your last spot. If you want.

 

[Ty Burna]

Hmmmm. This is difficult.

I select Osi Umenyiora with my first pick.

 

[TheOneBigWill]

Hmmmm. This is difficult.

I select Osi Umenyiora with my first pick.

Ty has selected his 1st FA pick. Osi Umenyiora has been selected and is no longer available.

And after the exclusive WZ Free Agency drawing.. the Pick Order is..

1. Minnesota Vikings
2. Jacksonville Jaguars
3. New Orleans Saints
4. Wasington Redskins
5. Carolina Panthers
6. Dallas Cowboys
7. New York Jets
8. New England Patriots
9. Arizona Cardinals

Now 'On the Clock' LuvSongWrita's Jacksonville Jaguars. LuvSongWrita will have until 11pm (central time) tomorrow night, to make his selection.

If you wish to look at the list of top FA's, it is on the previous page. (and I believe the very first post - if not, it will be in a moment) Simply mention who you want, and that player will be your's.

 

[Baller]

i was hoping somebody at 3 would take me because i dont think he will be there at 5. but if he is there at 5 ill let you know before you pick and we can swap

If I'm still holding the #5 spot, and it comes up my pick at #5.. I'm going to look over the board and possibly just take a pick then.

I have several 'interests' that I'd like. Some I firmly believe will be available come the last pick. And a couple I believe could be gone past #5. So depending on how "I" feel, will depend on whether I give the pick up at that point.

I'm willing to throw caution to the wind as-is, for the last pick as I know I'm guaranteed 2 in a row. But I'm not gonna wait, as I'm very impatient and if its my pick.. I could just get greedy enough to take the best available at that point.

 

[Baller]

Well when it comes your day and you want to trade let me know

Alright, 24 hours have passed. According to the Online Franchise website, LuvSongWrita's Jaguars never picked anyone.

Marquis has already told me he wants to pick up Chad Pennington. So with that being known..

Now 'On the Clock' are Brian's Washington Redskins. Brian, you have until 11pm tomorrow night to make your selection.

Once again, LuvSongWrita can still make a pick - but he no longer has the option of being the only guy on the clock. Brian can pick anytime now as well.

 

[Minor League Brian]

I signed the LG Aaron Sears

 

[Minor League Brian]

I ain't feelin' to hawt on my team right now. They should be really solid, but they just don't feel right.

 

[TheOneBigWill]

Thanks Brian, for making your selection. I've decided to just keep my pick at 5, and will make my selection as soon as I can get on my xbox within the next hour/hour and a half.

As for your team, Brian, I know what you mean. For some reason my running game with DeAngelo Williams (against the Bengals) kinda stalled early.. but Stewart blew up against them, since Williams for some reason kept leaving the game due to being tired.

As for my Aerial attack, I honestly think I'm gonna go WR with my FA pick.. because I badly need a solid #2. But the reason I'm not jumping instantly is because I gave up too many yards on Defense, and I'm no longer solid on my Defense as a whole right now. I was ran all over by the Cpu - and that shouldn't happen.

I have practically the same exact Defense I had last Season, but they just aren't doing what they did for me it seems. Then again, its just 1 game in so we'll see. I play Pittsburgh in Week 2. (which I'll also be playing within the next 2 hours)

 

[Minor League Brian]

My defense should have gotten better. My DT's are solid just like they were last year, though on the end Carter has lost a few points Orakpo has skyrocketed into a 90+ end. But Chris Johnson was able to run all over us like they were nothing. The first weak my secondary shut down the Giants, but it didn't feel right and then they go and let Kerry Collins torch us. Both my corners got better, and I switched Landry to SS where he's a 93 and dropped my new SS into the FS slot where he's actually higher rated then as a SS, but they couldn't do anything to stop the Titans and have been getting unbelievably tired.

On the offensive side of things, Aaron Rodgers got even better, and I've got an almost 80 average with all my WR's. A wide variety of targets to hit, but again; they don't feel right. Matt Jones is still quite the clutch player, but just things are off...I've improved my line drastically (as seen by my drafting) but my speed back that allowed me to start running rampant the last half of the season after Portis went down just can't get it going, and Jacobs was held to under 4 yards a carry by the Titans. I don't expect to be amazing with him as I merely want him there to grind out the yards, but on both sides of the ball things feel weak. And my ST are just terrible.

I don't know what it is, I didn't lose any "big" names and everything I seemingly got better at, but I don't feel like I can make a real run. I'm worried about facing the Cards because I don't think my secondary will be able to hold up, no matter how I call the game.

Oh, and I can't get a sack to save my life. Again, they seemingly know how to shut Orakpo down now.

EDIT: And we should play a game, Will.

 

[Stormtrooper]

I actually have been pretty happy with my team, with a few exceptions (which is why I am running a few trades by Will). However, one I am solving one of my problem areas using Super Bowl Prize pick. I am taking...................................................


DeSean Jackson!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I finally getting a true number 1 receiver, instead of an 81 overall possession guy.

 

[TheOneBigWill]

Big P, I hope you don't play the Eagles this Season. Otherwise you may have to put a number on the backs of your helmets after the Philly fans murder DeSean Jackson for leaving Philly to head to New York. *(On a side note - I truly miss Chris Henry)

Brian, all I'm going to say as far as sacks go.. look at my first week game. NO SACKS. I lead the league last year. Everette Brown not only broke records, but fucking anal raped them into oblivion.. this year, he was shut down along with the rest of my line.

Whats worse, I have a possible gem of a CB that I picked up in the middle of our Draft, hes got A-potential and was a true ball hawk in week 1. Anywhere the ball was at, he was the first or second guy to the ball. UNFORTUNATELY, he decided that smacking the ball out of the air was more important than catching it.

 

[TheOneBigWill]

And after the exclusive WZ Free Agency drawing.. the Pick Order is..

1. Minnesota Vikings
2. Jacksonville Jaguars
3. New Orleans Saints
4. Wasington Redskins
5. Carolina Panthers
6. Dallas Cowboys
7. New York Jets
8. New England Patriots
9. Arizona Cardinals

Against better judgment and in shear hopes of being able to find a solid #2 WR next year, I went ahead and picked up T. Owens to be my #2 opposite Steve Smith. (I hope this doesn't bite me in the ass)

Now 'On the Clock' are Simpsons_fanatic's Dallas Cowboys. You have until 3a.m. tomorrow (Wednesday, early morning) to make your selection.

 

[Baller]

I know who I want and now i'm hoping Simpsons, Big P, and Marvel dont take them.

 

[simpsons_fanatic742]

I have signed Ryan Diem.

 

[Stormtrooper]

Since Simpsons Fanatic picked already, it was my turn to make a selection. Being that I was online, I decided to make my pick. I picked....

Defensive Tackle Colin Cole

 

[Baller]

Damn you stormtrooper

 

[Stormtrooper]

Damn you stormtrooper

BWA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BWA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!!

You know the best part, this guy will be my 2nd DT in a 3-4. The position gets a lot of playing time, because I tend to play Nickel and Dime a lot against the CPU. I am also contemplating going to a 4-3 defense, in which he would start.

If you want him Baller, just offer me a trade and you can have him. I can use a receiver, and you don't use Steve Breaston, so Breaston for Cole works for me.

 

[Baller]

if i got terrell owens who I also wanted I would but I use Breaston a lot actually. I might make a trade for a Ted Ginn or somebody like him and if I do I will trade Breaston for him.

So if you don't want to give up Breaston, there was another guy on your roster I wanted. Right End Calais Cambell. You wouldn't even lose much, because you have a rookie right behind him only 1 point overall lower.

 

[Baller]

maybe ill consider that when i get on Madden tomorrow I will give it a look.

THANK YOU ALL! I love people who take initiative. Because of how greatly we're all keeping up with the page - we went from wasting 3 days, to only under 1.

Now 'On the Clock' are Baller's Arizona Cardinals. You have until tomorrow by 10pm. (according to the clock from our actual franchise, thats when MK picked)

Baller gets TWO selections, as he gets the last pick of round 1, then the first pick of round 2. We will then go in reverse.
