CAGLS: Madden 13 Gentlemen's League - We Finished! Thanks for Playing!

It's one thing for DVO to switch, being the last pick, but it really screws shit up if someone towards the front of the line wants to switch. Had Dallas been available, I would've taken them, as would have many others.

I agree with this.
 
[quote name='n8rockerasu']I don't mean to put you on blast, but DVO is already aware of this, so if I don't address it now, I know he'll bring it up. You were asking the same thing yesterday about switching to the Raiders, lol. I know you decided to stay with Dallas, but I was trying to work something out that would make both of you happy. Seriously, we don't need to play mind games here and act like a bunch of women. If you changed your mind on wanting to switch teams, that's fine. If you'd still like to switch, just say so and we'll get it figured out.

DVO had Dallas last year, and had been interested in taking them back if you were in fact going to take Oakland. If both of you were legitimately wanting to move, it wouldn't be that hard, not to mention it would keep the balance between conferences the same. The biggest thing I said was that people needed to make one switch and be done with it. This shit dragging on and on is what's getting on people's nerves.[/QUOTE]

I told you after I sent that PM that I didn't want to cause any havoc in the league by switching so I would stay with who I chose. It has nothing to do with who it involves. Besides, bringing something up in the league thread that I went to you in private is quite a bitch move in itself. I really don't care who is aware of it, whether it's DVO or Sir CheapyD himself, I already held myself to it: if you choose a team then decide you don't want them, tough titty, you chose them. Unless someone wants to trade with him outright, then that's fine with me... but when we start playing musical chairs with all these different teams, it's just going to fustercluck everything.

I don't mind being Dallas, they were obviously on my list of teams that I wanted to play as, which is why I chose them, but the Raiders were also up there on my list. I chose Dallas though, so I'm sticking to that. You didn't have to "work anything out to keep us happy" because I had already told you that I was staying Dallas to prevent anymore BS [like this...].

I don't know where you're pulling all this "mind games" crap from. I'm just straight shooting, cowboy.

Edit: I have to add that all of this is really uncalled for, and already casts a dark shadow on this league. I hope nobody leaves because of it, because I'm really looking forward to getting my ass kicked.

Whatever. If you want to call trying to accommodate something that you both ASKED for a "bitch move", then you have your own hangups. Ultimately, it's beyond ridiculous that people had weeks to think about this and even had the audacity to rush others along, and yet were not ready or sure of their own decision. My official stance on this is that I no longer give a fuck. Play as the team you chose or get the fuck out (not directed at you...goes for everyone). I'm done talking about it.
 
[quote name='Blade3D']I think weekly or every 4 weeks progression as we still have the option to spend the xp whenever we want. So if it is weekly I could still wait 3 weeks to spend it, etc.[/QUOTE]

Getting back to actual relevant matters, I think every 4 weeks progression would be fine. Once a season obviously puts all the improvement at the end of the year, but every week seems like it would cause too much fluctuation. At least every 4 weeks would allow players to build off of a hot streak. Thoughts?

Just to clarify, you tried to accommodate DVO after I had already stated "don't worry about it" [not an exact quote] and that I would play as Dallas. It's really not as big of a deal as it's been made it out to be.

Don't get me wrong Nate, I appreciate that you tried to make everyone happy -- I really do, but it feels like you're throwing it in my face after the fact that I said that I'd stay as Dallas, lol. That's why I responded defensively. I really don't need to explain myself (or do I?) but there you go.

Anyway... I agree with you 150% on the rest of your post. :applause::applause::applause:

I'd like to play the game a little before coming to judgment on settings and stuff. I know some of you have the early release, and that's cool -- we all appreciate the heads up on some issues we may be dealing with, but I'm not going to "vote" on anything until I see how things work for myself. ;)

Everything else settings-wise (outside of the Free Agents system) seems cool with me so far. If the FA system is kind of like a bidding war (somewhat reminiscent of an auction league?) that would be pretty cool, but I guess I won't know until Tuesday at 12:30am.

I'm probably not going to give a fuck either way as I'm normally pretty chill -- I just want to play the game and have fun, and not worry about all this political bullshit. Ya know?

I like entertainment I had to read "put you on blast" about 4 times cause it cracked me up that someone wrote that
 
Bengals Trade Block

Green-Ellis this guy doesnt fumble perfect for goal line plays or closing games

AJ Green - if the price is right it could happen
 
anybody who got the early release have an impression on connected careers? Would be awesome if Madden's franchise mode went back to the 05/06 style personally.

[quote name='Twick87']What is the protocol on trading with a cpu controlled team?[/QUOTE]

Well, just in the interest of keeping everything on the up and up, I think all trades should be proposed in the thread first. It appears that the CPU demands pretty high prices for its players, but we still need to make sure that trades make sense (ie. I don't want somebody offering 3 years worth of rounds 4-7 draft picks to get a star player).
 
[quote name='Chetty12']I propose a second round for vontae Davis :p[/QUOTE]

lol...the CPU is going to be like "That's a terrible offer. Why would anybody do that?"
 
I just got in my Best Buy in store pickup preorder for Madden 13 (yay for just getting Gamer Zone unlocked recently and getting the $20 preorder credit and the $10 in store pickup credit), so I will go ahead and put in an entry for this league. I barely know how to play anyways, and mostly play just for fun, so this league seems like a good fit for me.

CAG Name: DeskLaser
XBL Gamertag: DeskLaser
Team: Saints (maybe, just maybe, having a top rated QB will help with my abyssmal passing game, lol)
My normal team is the Ravens, so if that opens up, is there a waiting list for teams? If not, no big deal.

Availability: Monday - Thursday I should be available after 7 PM eastern time. Fridays and weekends may get a little shaky, as my schedule often varies during then.


On a side note, would anyone in this thread be willing to trade my Best Buy preorder bonus (I believe it is Jerry Rice and Bill Walsh) for their Gamestop preorder bonus? I would really like to have John Madden available for connected careers. Thanks.

Out of curiosity, to get both bonus' all you had to do was pre-order online and pick it up with your reward zone card and it showed you were unlocked, therefore getting both? I have mine preordered in store but the extra 10 would be nice

No, there's no waiting list for teams. Considering all the roster moves and changes people will make, it would be best for everyone to stick with their original team. You should do fine with the Saints though. I had them last year, and their roster is very fun to play with. Sproles is rated even higher this year. Welcome to the league!

3rd rounder 2013 + 4th 2014 for Matt Flynn? Is that fair? Assuming the cpu accepts it that is.
 
Ugh...I finally got the Game Face feature to work, and as always, it's terrible. I don't know how it looks so great on the website and really looks like me. But in the game, it looks like complete shit. Madden makes my face look fat as hell no matter what I put my height and weight at. The hair also looks terrible. Really disappointed there.
 
ya well im in louisiana trust me when i say things can be worse i have 18-22 inches of rain heading my way. the fucking place the army will station a person FML

They just need to use kinect for game face.
 
[quote name='Chetty12']The picture quality of the kinect doesn't seem good enough for gameface.[/QUOTE]

It does fine in other games in fun labs that you scan stuff into.

You should've gotten the 3g vita in case u have to sit on ur roof and wait for helicopter rescue, lol. But seriously good luck with that one hopefully its not that bad.
 
looking for a decent WR nothing to amazing just decent if anyone is on the market let me know dont need a number one i already have that in AJ Green who just came off the block

by the way N8 i come back from my deployment on september 22nd-24th just a heads up but might not leave thursday pending on the hurricane

have u picked a start date for the league i was hoping sometime around the 11th-15th :) to let us get a good roster update and that way if i do go i wont miss to much and well i will prolly miss out on FA so that kinda sucks a fat one
 
[quote name='theredworm']It does fine in other games in fun labs that you scan stuff into.[/QUOTE]

Except of you use the gameface program, idk if you've tried it or not, it needs a pretty well lit straight on photo that's clear or it comes out messed up. From my expirience with the kinect, its kind of darker and a bit grainy.

Depends on room lighting
 
[quote name='theredworm']Depends on room lighting[/QUOTE]

If you say so. But I have used it in a room that was overlit in my opinion, it was clear but it still has that graininess IMO. Still easier to just use a camera phone like someone else said earlier, clearer picture as well.
 
N8 would have to answer that since the game is so different things may have changed main points. dont go for it on fourth when u know u shouldnt and dont try and glitch. thoughs are the usual dont be a douche rule. but as far as in depth rules like i said n8 will have to speak on that
