Madden 10 League-OFFICIAL CAG LEAGUE (Tournament)- LOTS OF TEAMS AVAILABLE!

Did I win my week 2 simmed game?

And can you make sure Kerny is my starting RE on my depth chart? Wouldn't want that to be messed up during these sims.

boooooo!

I'll have Xbox access as of tomorrow! And I will have it for a week. So if you're vs the Jets in week 4 (not sure I'll make whatever the week 3 deadline is), let's setup a time.
 
Ravens owner, I think we have a game again for Week 4. I know it hasn't advanced to that yet, but just wanted to let you know I should be around through Christmas morning, but then I'll be gone for a few days.
 
Azu, pretty much every time I see you on, you're playing Madden. Judging by the scores of your games this season, you're a lot better now. I have not been playing Madden except for the 2 leagues I'm in. I'm worried about our week 5 matchup.

Ahahahaha, I'd like to think so. I'm sure you'll find a way to keep winning against me.
 
Ultimate Matt... I've been working all day every day this week cuz of Christmas but i should be online at some point tonight... sometime after 8.
 
Remaining games:

Matt Young vs CPU
Ramesuthe1 vs CPU
Lethal Swag vs Ultimate Matt

I'd like to advance sometime Christmas, but I can hold it back a day if needed since I'm sure most of you celebrate Christmas. I'll be seeing Avatar.
 
I just played a defensive battle against Arizona, which was pretty much the opposite of what I expected. I held on to squeak by and remain undefeated.

Packers 7, Cardinals 6
 
[quote name='Matt Young']Barry, what's your availability like over the weekend? I'm not sure about mine yet. I'll try my best to accommodate you.[/QUOTE]
I'm actually pretty open this weekend. Tomorrow is Boxing Day, so I'll up up extremely late shopping online (Amazon.ca's deals start at 3AM EST) and then I'll go to a few B&M stores, but I'll be available for the majority of the evening.

Then Sunday is football, but the Vikings aren't playing until Monday, so anytime Sunday is probably good for me.
 
There is almost no chance that I will be able to get my game in before Thursday morning. Wednesday night is a slim possibility, but go ahead and sim my game if I haven't played by the time you want to advance.
 
[quote name='Matt Young']Azu, I PM'ed you regarding our game days ago. Where are you? I hope all is well.[/QUOTE]
I'm alive! Sorry, I've been busy working and my birthday is tomorrow!
I went to the hairdresser and got the Vikings "V" engraved on the back of my head. I'm really cool.
Can you play this afternoon Matt?
 
Did you really get the V?

I'm not sure whether I can play today or not. I'm not at home, and I don't have my copy of Madden. I would say tomorrow afternoon, but it's your birthday.
 
[quote name='Mr Grand Cru']Me and Lyric missed each other last night , Lyric lets shoot for tonight around 9:30, 9:45[/QUOTE]

Sounds good, man. I'll be on.
 
[quote name='lyric706']Hope you guys don't mind, but I invited my brother-in-law (Gamertag Jdogg8423) to join the league. I think he'll want the Texans.[/QUOTE]
Can you get him to join CAG? If he doesn't, I don't have a problem as long as he communicates with people via XBL.
 
Barry, since it is past midnight where you are at- Happy birthday! :)

I'm not sure if you can play tomorrow (well, it's today where you're at) but if you can, I can start the game at any time tomorrow up until 8 Eastern. Around 9 Eastern, I am leaving to go to a party.
 
[quote name='Azumangaman']Can't play tonight :)
I'll be around during the day tomorrow and Saturday.[/QUOTE]

Okay, how about sometime in the early evening Eastern time?
 
Is it too late to join up? I assume so if it started with the season's beginning lol, but if not I would like to play in the league. And if I can...

gt: theAlcapown
team: Indianapolis Colts !

I have great availability as well, and have been around the game for years and years.(both the virtual and rl)
 
When will Week 6 start? I have a buy this week and just want to make sure I don't miss the week change since I have a CPU opponent this week. Figure that is one I don't want to take a sim loss on.
 
[quote name='Matt Young']Azu Dooby Doo, where are you?[/QUOTE]
Hey Matt.
Sorry about last night, I was doing work till 2am! Im free for a random 45 minute block this evening of your choice. Just send me a message of what works for you!
 
Azu and I have both been occupied with stuff. He just sent me a message on Facebook, and it looks like we'll be playing tomorrow at 5 Eastern.
 
Yeah.
I'm really sorry for this ridiculous delay, but holidays and all...
If we can't play at 5, I'll sim it.
So we'll advance around 6 tomorrow.
 
ubernes, I played him (DKreegz515) for week 5. He usually gets off work around 12am CST and is on his console around then. He was good about responding to messages on XBL.
 
thanks, seen. we played this afternoon. i was worried at first, he had a pretty successful long drive to start off the game but I was able to keep him out of the endzone after that and I opened it up in the 2nd half. it was a solid game though.
 
Remaining Games:
Azumangaman vs. BigAT (when can you play? I'm free a good chunk of tomorrow afternoon)

Jdogg8423 vs. CPU
Matt Young vs. CPU
Mr Grand Cru vs. CPU
lyric vs CPU
UMX vs CPU
seen vs CPU
Ramesuthe1 vs CPU

I'd love to move this on sometime friday.
 
Hey guys, Azu and I have been having this conversation behind the scenes the last couple days and I figured now would be as good as time as any to bring it up here so everyone can interject their own opinion too.

I'm currently running a league along side this one also with 13 teams. As I was looking over the standings in both leagues I've noticed we pretty much have the exact opposite teams selected. So how about combining them? My league is very much modeled after this one, we advance at a weekly schedule (usually every Sunday morning/afternoon, though if we have a lot of vs CPU games the deadline gets moved up) and good sportsmanship is in full effect.

There's 2 notable bumps in the road for this, of course. (Nothing is easy!)
1. There's a 2 team overlap. The Dolphins and the Vikings. Azu made a lot of moves with his Vikings so we've briefly discussed having those moves reflected in his new team if he decided to switch teams. The Fins, I don't know what we'd do there.

2. Previous trades. Luckily most of these can be ignored (for example, the weird trading the Bengals did with the Broncos, since both teams do not have owners in this league but the Broncos are owned in mine. We can just reset those trades). Also luckily my league was never full so moves were always between taken teams and moves made were pretty minimal.

The benefits of combining are we aren't twiddling our thumbs putting up 50 points on the CPU every week. I think the competition is pretty even too. The AFC is our stronger conference and the NFC is the CAG leagues (imo) so I think the balance would remain. I play competitively with everyone in the league and I think I do the same here, so the skill sets are fairly similar.

The point in the conversation we're at now is who goes to who's league? It's a tough question. We're in week 6 here and in my league we're planning on starting week 4 this weekend. So my vote would be to move into mine so everyone has a fair shot at the playoffs instead of possibly starting 1-6 heading into week 7, the worst anyone could be is 0-3. I'm also willing to do the grunt work here. Figuring out a way to make both owners of the Vikings and Dolphins happy and making sure all the moves you made in this league are reflected in the next. And lastly, the Chargers owner in my league writes up these amazing weekly power rankings! :)

Here's what the divisions would look like. Please tell me what you think.

AFC East
Dolphins (cmonay737) [DKreegz515]
Jets (broadway row)
Patroits [seen415] (2-0)

edit: I'm adding records to the CAG taken teams in my league if that is a make or break thing for anyone.

edit2: sample power rankings from this week!
albear's Week 3 Power Rankings:

1. (1) Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-0; vs. CPU Steelers)
As effective as Pillage and Plunder can be on the ground, the start of this show was Josh Freeman. Not to say that Pillage and Plunder completely gave way to Freeman but rather contributed a "mere" 125 total rushing yards with three touchdowns. Not that bad considering last season's efforts from Pillage (or was it Plunder? Either way, I mean Derrick Ward) who was able to put up twice that amount of yardage alone. But back to Freeman, who was able to go for 19 of 25 for 265 yards and two touchdowns. The defense is improving too and it shows with how they limited the CPU Falcons to just under seven minutes of total offensive possession as well as picking off Matt Ryan three times. The Super Bowl champs are still rolling strong and what's left of the formerly Salt Gravy-coached Steelers shouldn't stand a chance.

2. (2) San Diego Chargers (2-0; @ Colts)
After a shakey start to the season against the Chiefs, it seems that the Bolts are still looking to find the groove they once had last season. Or at least, it seems that Rivers may be still shaking off the rust from his throwing arm. He went for 13 of 20 attempts for 192 yards with two touchdowns but also turning it over four times. There aren't many games you can win when you turn the ball over four times but the "Lightning Bug" Darren Sproles was able to right the ship and hold off the advances of the Jaguars by scooting his way through the defense for 125 yards and finding the end zone three times. Next week, the Chargers fly out to Indianapolis to take on the Colts, where Philip Rivers can challenge Peyton Manning for the most interceptions.

edit3 and final edit: The league would still be headquartered here regardless. I would get everyone from my league to become members of CAG so we can use this as a hub for setting up games and the like.
