I'd rather wait and play a person than play the CPU, so that's not a problem.

Sounds like we'll have someone shortly, so I'll get that sorted out and hopefully get him an invite tonight.

The new users name is "TheFranchise2410" and he said he would post on here when he gets out of work later.

should i stay in this league? maybe im just terrible but i feel like im nothing but a free win

Eaqles 23 - Redskins 21

My rookie QB Boyce balled out for this one ending the 1st half with a 30 second 80 yard TD drive and the 2nd half with a 1 minute game winning field goal drive.

Birds move to 2-3 after 3 horror shows and 2 close division battles.

thats for you to decide i would think. I would just say you can always get better. After every game just pm the person you played and ask what you can do differnet or even ask ? in here most if not every one will try to help you out.

The new Vikings owner is still up in the air, sorry. At this point I'll just give them to whoever posts in the thread first.

OG has gotten back to me, hopefully he gets in touch relatively soon. And to be honest I don't know how well the two adays are going to work for me. Some people are hard to get a hold of, and I'm not planning on going out of my way to schedule games or squeeze a game in.

Ill take the Vikings.

Gamertag: Strange2410
I can play anytime on Sunday and Monday. Then after 5 west coast time Tuesday-Saturday!

oh yeah I'm definitely down for staying, unfortunately I think at this point this team may require more drafts than this league will last. I was saying more that if there are other people who are waiting for a team I'd understand if you'd like it if there was more parity in the league. Just figured I'd throw it out there. Obviously if I decided to move on from this league I'd try to give you a few games notice so you could replace. One thing I was mulling over, are there a lot of people who stick around from year to year in this league? If so maybe you could stipulate that if someone is going to leave that they give a 2 week notice (would make it so there are less cpu games and be a little more thorough in a search for a quality replacement) maybe some sort of penalty for someone who would try to rejoin for the following madden (maybe cant pick a team from start or gets bumped down the waiting list from someone who didn't jump ship). Just something i was thinking about, honestly which was prompted more with the gentlemans league more than this one anyways.

Sounds good, welcome aboard! Please take the time to review the league rules linked in the first post of the thread and let me know if you have any questions.

I'll send you an invite this evening.

We already essentially do this. Assuming we have more than 32 people interested when Madden 14 starts (which we did this year), everyone who stayed in the league for its entire run this year gets an automatic spot. So there is definitely an incentive for people to stick around. You can see how the process works in this post. It worked well this year, so we will likely be doing it again next.

Yeah, and we'll probably be doing something similar in the GL next year...depending on what type of returning numbers we have. There definitely will be some type of hierarchy though based around number of completed seasons. Interest is always the highest when the game just comes out...so it's conceivable that we could even have more than 32 people wanting to join.

I feel the same way. I can count on one hand how many times someone has contacted me about scheduling a game. Granted I usually try to contact first because it helps us advance faster, but I'm not going out of my way to leave work or skip dinner with my family to play Madden.

If we want to try 2 day advances that is cool with me but I'm sticking to what the OP says for my availability.

I assume you're not including me in this. Otherwise I'm probably the whole hand.

I'm a finger! I e-mailed you about ours!!!!
