I was looking at it from the website, and it said 60 players on roster / 60 players active, which is why I wasn't sure. I thought I remembered last year that when they did the week one update, you just started with 53 players and didn't have to cut anybody before that opening season.
Sorry for not being very active, I've been very busy. I think I am going to have to drop from the league. I thought my time, and commitment would be greater. Thanks for everything y'all do, and sorry again for taking up this slot. I think I am just going to wait and possibly get Madden when the Xbox One comes out.
Sad to hear that Blade. We'll welcome you back with open arms if and when you decide you would like to Rejoin us.
They can't join the league without an invite. They need to inform me on CAG. Not XBL when and if they've booted up their madden 25 and can begin accepting invites. I'm going to have a VERY low tolerance this year for those who do not use CAG as their primary source of communication. Bringing in friends is fine, but they either learn to communicate on Cag, or find another league. It's unacceptable, really.
Send me an invite. I booted the game yeaterday
I'll invite you as soon as i get home at 7pm Est. I looked on the website and don't see the option there.
Nope. No option to send invites from the website. It cracks me up how quickly we can discover these issues that EA never seems to think of.
#Agreed #CANTWAIT!!
Hopefully its soon. Counted 26 signed up when I checked earlier.
Replace with who? CAG now has three leagues which has depleted the wait list. When I first joined I was 5th on the waiting list and had to wait. Now we have 2 half full leagues and this one. Previously we were able to replace guys who didn't communicate within a few hours, now we have to deal with the CPU signing FA's if we start the league. I do believe I said this would happen several years ago, so no we'll wait on a bunch of guys who obviously never use CAG. Fero has sent multiple PMs and posted in the thread with no response.
I'll have Fero get you on the list and note that you can't join until the downloadable version comes out. Thanks for the interest.is there a waitlist for when someone quits the league? i'm gonna pick up the GOD on 360 and i'd love to be in on it, didn't really have a chance to get it before it got put up on GOD (i have online credit)
well it came out a few days ago i see, it's a 6gb download i think, can anyone confirm that? i've got to clear enough space on my hard drive for it, so if anyone knows the exact amount of gigs i need to clear off i'd appreciate it. i'm gonna download it tomorrow so i should be playable come wednesday (360).
. it's the first 'sim' football game i've bought in years so i will be awful, but i'd rather cellar dwell in a cag league than play elsewhere .
Come on. You can't blame the other leagues for that. This is the final Madden on a console that is about to be replaced three months after the game released. Couple that with EA's continued "more of the same" attitude, and it's not surprising that people would be getting bored. Even go look at online ranked. I played my first game earlier, and it said there were 30 people playing and 21 looking for games. Those numbers are WAY down from last year.
I feel the same way, Im in 3 leagues and thats all I do because the online ranked matches have been a straight cheesefest, smh
Thanks. I was pretty sure that is who he was, however not answering PMs or posting in the thread is part of the problem :/
Unfortunately I have to disagree. Madden sold over 1 million copies in its first week, putting it on par with most other releases. Having less people with more leagues doesn't make things any better. Sure people aren't buying the game for one reason or another, but that happens every year. The problem is that we have no one to replace them with because everyone has spread out to do their own thing.
Ranked seems to be much worse this year. I haven't even 'practiced' much this year because it is so bad. If no one from the league is online I just switch to another game.
Yea I often switch to netflix or crunchyroll smh, because the same cheese / noob play takes place on Call of Duty and NBA2k13 , I need to get Disney Infinity or something lol
Troy has not been on Xbox since 9/6/2013.
So...your suggestion is to have people come over who have no chance of competing, get their shit pushed in week after week, and not have an enjoyable experience at all...just so you guys can have a full league to beat up on. No offence, but that's selfish as
. If I'm going 4-12 and not coming close to a playoff spot every year because I'm taking beatings from Doom, Chetty, Hemingway, Cru, Mog, etc. I'd rather just trade the game in. That's a ridiculous suggestion.You mean just like most of the guys (including Fero and myself) do every year. I'm not suggesting anything other than that we, in my opinion, would be better off having a league full of guys who want to play and communicate. That isn't me being selfish, just expressing my opinion. You act like I contend for titles every year, I've made the playoffs 3 times in 10ish seasons, so I feel like I'm more on your level when it comes to Madden - not any of the players you listed.So...your suggestion is to have people come over who have no chance of competing, get their shit pushed in week after week, and not have an enjoyable experience at all...just so you guys can have a full league to beat up on.

I don't disagree with what you're saying. But honestly, I think it's a miracle that you've had guys in this league for years who have never made the playoffs. Players like Matt Young, itlnstln, or even fero are the only reason this league hasn't experienced a CPU team problem sooner. But to me, it's almost unreasonable to expect them to continue to participate when the chance for improvement is so daunting (and the league has lost players for that very reason).The fact that they have continued playing is baffling, and speaks hugely to their dedication.
I've Made The Playoffs once, in 15 Seasons. Off a Wild Card Win. So Yeah. GG. I like to play football with people who are enthusiastic about the game. It's not about winning for me (obviously).
I'm just arguing that it's no surprise BOTH leagues that have been active for 2 years are now seeing a lack of members..... and it's not a coincidence that this is happening when a 3rd league has appeared. There are 6 People in the "Owner's League" that aren't in this one. Need I say more?
I fully believe we'll be playing madden on the xbox 360 next year if EA releases it on the 360. $500 is alot of money ...to play madden.
That's fine. I'm just telling you that one league doesn't care if it has CPU teams. So, take it at that. It's not "about winning". It's about feeling like there is some purpose to playing your games or at least feeling competitive. I've got way too much stuff to do just to show up my bi-weekly beating. If you're ok with that, more power to you. It's just not what I enjoy spending my time doing.I'm just arguing that it's no surprise BOTH leagues that have been active for 2 years are now seeing a lack of members..... and it's not a coincidence that this is happening when a 3rd league has appeared.

That's horseshit
I've been in the playoffs on a few different occasions. I just sucked badly at at Madden 13.
