Just a warning to all, although I'm sure most of us are aware. The games in the early weeks of the season are going to be painstaking. The servers are unbelievably slow.

Listerfiend78 when you available tonight/tomorrow?

There will be alot of disconnects and simmed games. You can only play 3 quarters so many times after you and your opponent disconnect.
 
[quote name='BigAT']Apparently the rosters are out.[/QUOTE]

Yes sir just seen that on twitter. Can't wait to play, week one games got me stoked about football.
 
Donnie Moore just tweeted "Looking into 360 Online Franchise rosters, trying to figure out the issue with devs as we speak" So I guess there is already problems....... Geez
 
[quote name='ubernes']Bv, I won't be home til 7 or so if you want to launch the new franchise before then.[/QUOTE]

I have softball tonight, so I won't be around until later either.

Has anyone been able to figure out what the issue with the rosters is?
 
FYI, Facebook is doing Madden Squads again this year. Like last year, you need only to fill up one squad (4 people, including yourself) and you all get 10,000 free MUT coins.If the squad fills up, you have a shot at better prizes. This year, they have included tasks which you can accomplish in-game to better your odds of winning autographed jerseys or Super Bowl tickets.

Basically, I'll join yours if you join mine. I sent invites to a few of you who are Facebook friends with me.

@EAMaddenNFL just tweeted "ONLINE FRANCHISE ROSTER UPDATE: The updated rosters are now available on the PS3 and will be available tomorrow morning on the Xbox 360."

Wow way to piss me off. lol

good luck I won twice in the squads promo last year, was in 3 squads
 
It's miles from surprising at this point, but still frustrating. I'll be around tonight if anyone wants to get a scrim or two in. I'm still woefully unprepared for the start of the league.
 
[quote name='Zurezo']Looks like we should just start planning the Madden 13 online league :)[/QUOTE]

or just pick back up the madden11 league :)

:lol: No thanks. I can't go back after playing this one.
 
Can someone post or PM me the league password? I tried some of the obvious ones, but no luck. Also, the league that is up now isn't the final one right due to the roster issue?

There isn't a league yet. I made one, but we'll have to scrape it due to the roster update we are waiting on. Everyone will get a PM with the new info once it's live.
 
Just checking in again. I don't get to CAG much (I use to do it form work but they blocked me). Still in for the league though soon as we start.

I'll look for you around 10ish.
 
I am thoroughly sick of the madden online community. If it's possible it seems like the biggest collective of immature a-holes play this game. If anyone ever wants a scrim and sees me online feel free to hit me up because outside of the league is just no for me.

You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.

I don't know why any of you bother playing randoms, it's such a miserable experience. Online franchises are the only reason I even consider touching Madden, the random online play experience is the fucking worst.

You hit the nail on the head. I'd rather practice on my own than play a random person.
 
Yea i have won three games and have not got credit for any of them. People have been disconnecting and I get hit with a DNF

True. I do it because ranked matches give me practice that unranked games do not. People just up and quit in the first quarter of unranked games if something doesn't go their way because there's no reason to stay.

Plenty of different looks/playstyles and it shows me all of the exploit plays that people go to for easy yards. Figuring out ways to stop them is satisfying.
 
I pmed my dude yesterday morning. I haven't heard anything yet but hopefully he will see it today. Im ready to play lol
 
[quote name='bvharris']These rosters aren't accurate either, which is amazing, but they'll have to do.[/QUOTE]

Figures..... Wow madden devs suck...

What's the problem with them?
 
So it seems like the rosters still aren't fantastic. The free agent pool is kind of oddly limited as well.

For example, the Giants are missing Clint Sintim, Derrick Martin and Da'Rel Scott from their roster. None of these players exist or are available in the free agent pool, despite the fact that they are all on the Giants roster in the latest update for community game rosters. Recently acquired Brandon Stokley doesn't exist in the game as well.

The free agent pool does contain UFL player Noel Devine though, who is from the same draft class as Da'Rel Scott. So this means that:

Drafted + on an NFL roster? Non-existent.
Undrafted + not in the NFL? FREE AGENT!
 
[quote name='Doomtime']What's the problem with them?[/QUOTE]

Assuming they're the same as the regular online rosters, there are several players still on the Pats who should have been cut (Darius Butler, for example) and several others who are missing. Additionally, since the Pats don't have a FB on their roster, they added one at random (which I guess is to be expected).
 
[quote name='ubernes']Well I don't believe our rosters were ever 100% accurate last year either but I'm excited to play.[/QUOTE]

I don't think we should wait either. Unfortunately I don't have enough confidence in EA to believe it will get much better than this. It's just extremely frustrating to lose my starting ROLB and a 96 SPD RB to shitty roster nonsense.
 
Here's a convo i read on twitter between donny moore and one of his followers

@kngofkngz84 tweets "@donny_moore are these updates from week 1 results?"
@donny_moore tweets "@kngofkngz84 no sir, the week 1 roster update was based on Pre-Week1 situations. Due to QA process for OF rosters, took longer..."

So.... I guess they are going to do another update for online francise next week? I don't know if I want to wait.....
 
They won't. Last year they did it only sporadically.

And yeah, that excuse is total bull, but no surprise there. Here's your QA Process:

Step 1) Look at the rosters of all the teams
Step 2) Look at the rosters in the game
Step 3) Are they the same? Good job!

Too tough a task for EA. They're never going to get it right, let's just get it started.
