Maybe. Maybe not. By that same token, once some of the new players in the other league take some insane beatings from the top players over there, they may want to get the hell out and play in a league where they can compete. I could be wrong and maybe the new guys are really good too, but I don't know how anybody could tolerate going 3-13 season after season. That just doesn't sound like much fun to me.

i had some bad seasons over there and took lotso f beating but i also had the jaguars and still had fun over there. but i still dont think its a bad idea to ask there waiting list to come and join

That info is in the OP. There's basically a fairly simple hierarchy to it.

Awesome! Glad to have you back, man! Though, you're going to have to remind me what your Gamertag is. I can't remember if it's the same as your CAG name or not.

quick question
whats happens if real life nfl trades are put into the game.
as in what if the rams redskins trade is put in the game so that the rams have the redskins draft picks. will we leave it as is then.
and what will we do if there is an on/off switch that u can either turn off the real life nfl trades or leave them on what would we do then?

only asking becuz i remember reading that the EA sports planned on honoring real life trades i nthe game such as that trade not sure if it was true or not but just trying to figure out what we would do in that case. i dont remember where i read it or i post the the link

also read that if our league isnt full that the computer teams will offer trades to other computer teams and even us. this game is going to be insane how great its going to be

my gamertag is the same as my name on here my team selection would go like this if possible 1. Atlanta Falcons 2. San Fran 49ers 3. GB Packers

If they're built into the game, and there's no option to turn them off, then I guess we just have to deal with it. If there is an option to not honor them though, I'd prefer that. Reason being, the teams are the teams, and people choose their team knowing what players they have.

It's not exactly fair to handicap one owner in the ability to build his team because in real life, the GM didn't care about mortgaging the next several drafts. And conversely, it's not really fair for somebody to just have more draft picks through no doing of their own. To me, it makes more sense to just start everybody out with a clean slate and say "build your team".

Oh, and if the league isn't full, yeah...we'll just let the CPU handle itself this year. I'd most likely want to bump the difficulty up to All-Madden, just to make the CPU games a little more relevant, but yeah...with them functioning in a very "human" like manner (assuming EA doesn't have them doing incredibly stupid things), hopefully it won't be as much of a bother if we have any empty teams.

And in case anyone is wondering, yes...the salary cap will be on, and it will be how teams are kept in check in terms of trades, free agent signings, etc.

well i guess we have to wait and see. but i kinda like the idea of real life trades becuz of the fact that is going to be so real with contracts salary caps. but i do get where ur coming from with the clean slate.

all madden sounds like field goals are gonig to be ruff this year. lol

The demo is now out for anybody unaware. I'm downloading it right now. Can't wait to see how it plays!

so what day are u going to make the offical day to have us all pick teams.

Don't really know yet. We'll probably give it another week or so.

One other thing I wanted to touch on, having played the demo now, I feel like I'm still leaning toward having the difficulty set at All-Madden. Yes, there are some things the CPU does that I feel are cheap, or bounces they get simply because the difficulty is higher. But at the same time, I don't want us having incredibly stupid AI because we're playing on a lower difficulty. I know the other league was talking about sticking with All-Pro, but personally, I guess I want to see the game performing at its top level. Then, any shortcomings it has are just "how EA made it" and not because of any option we're not utilizing...if that makes sense.

well i tried both levels today in two games each. tried some things to test both AI's and well i found AM to be very cheap compared to AP. i think AP is better also for people playing in both leagues considering we might have alot of guys doing both and with the kicking being insane as always in AM people that play in the other league this one will have to adjust all the time to the kicks speeds. im starting to recruit hardcore for this league im glad i could get ahold of aftershock and get him in here i think i can get atleast 2 or 3 more people just give me a fews days and let me see what i can do

Well, I will say, if this dropped pass bullshit is a result of All-Madden, I might change my mind (I've only played one game on All-Pro and like 4-5 on All-Madden). I just went 8-19 with Flynn with 4 drops. 20% of your pass attempts shouldn't be dropped (and these were wide open, all by himself, receiver looking right at the ball drops). That's ridiculous. As much as I want more intelligent AI, if this is EA's answer to "higher difficulty", I'm not impressed.

EDIT - It appears drops aren't an All-Madden thing. Just played an All-Pro game, and was 13 of 25 with Eli with 5 drops...20% holding true. I get that some of it is timing, and the new "receiver must be paying attention" thing. But it's not a drop unless it hits them in the hands...so I'm not really sure what to make of this. Seems a bit excessive.

Wow, looks like real life trades are built into the game. I've gotta say, if EA actually understood how all of the draft day trades are supposed to work and how to implement them, more power to them. They're really pushing the envelope this year.

lol i know who i want
