I figure since i was beaten to the punch on the ncaa one

the madden one works different, theres no CPU players, everyone plays everyone, and you can play your games whenever it works for everyone, so if im not posed to play Treetwista til the last game but he's the first one ready to play, that game can be completed

me and my boys are gonna do one, but filling 32 teams is hard without some possible help, so here it goes and see if anyone here wants to get in

Teams already taken are:

Bears
Panthers
Buccaneers
Cowboys
Redskins
Rams

Seeing as majority here are panther fans, i can just throw a bunch and you randomly get a team, or first dibs are used

i'll put more time into the next post after seeing the interest through this thread

i guess i'll take the saints

8/6/2008 5:50:16 PM

crap twista called it

i'm not sure yet if i'm gettin the game, but i have no idea who i'd like to play as other than panthers/chargers. dolphins are my next favorite team, but man they're gonna be awful

8/6/2008 7:23:14 PM

This would be awesome, but it will be hell trying to get 32 people on the same page.

8/6/2008 9:40:25 PM

Bengals taken

and ^ the best thing is you play your games when you want

Example:

player 1, 2, 3, 4,5 are in the league

player 1 plays player 2 in week one, and player 5 in week 5

lets say player 1 cant get up with player 2 but player 5 is always on

player 1 and player 5 can go ahead and get their week 5 game out the way as their first game

8/6/2008 9:50:47 PM

Well that's silly

[Edited on August 6, 2008 at 9:52 PM. Reason : It's just a 32 player round-robin?]

8/6/2008 9:51:57 PM

not exactly...if im the panthers and j_hova is the bucs, we'd play each other in 2 of the 16 regular season games, just like an nfl schedule...good thing is, we wouldnt have to necessarily wait for week 3 and week 14 or whatever the case

i'm guessing once you get to the playoffs everyone has to be on the same page, but in the regular season you play the same 16 games that you normally would, you can just mix up the order to make it more flexible to people

wouldnt work with the college game since you have to recruit every week

8/6/2008 9:55:22 PM

It definitely makes things easier on the players. What about injuries though? Is there no continuity? Is it an actual online franchise or is it just 32 guys playing one another individually?

8/6/2008 9:58:19 PM

i dunno...its certainly not as linear as its ncaa counterpart but i'm sure theres some structure, havent read up on all the details...still its worth a shot

8/6/2008 9:59:39 PM

id play, only with steelers

yea im up on ALL the specifics, the hardest part is finding 32 or however many willing players, and we're halfway there

8/7/2008 3:54:09 PM

if this is anything like that joke of a dynasty they are running down the page (ie not playing on all madden) then i dont wont no parts.

8/7/2008 3:55:46 PM

we're moving up to heisman after this season. And the only difference I've seen is that the defenders still have that spin around and jump 10 feet to intercept the ball shit.

8/7/2008 4:25:37 PM

so apparently you just play everyone and the top 8 or so make it to the playoffs and you only play one season.

"IGN: Is there any sort of handicapping involved? If we have a 32 team league someone has to be stuck playing as the Dolphins. Are they just screwed? Ferwerda and Castorani: To avoid this we've included a setting called 'Unique Teams'. What this allows is the ability to have everyone play as any team they want. If you wanted to have thirty-two users control thirty-two versions of the Packers, with unique teams off, that would be allowed. However, with unique teams on, players are limited to teams that haven't been selected."

8/7/2008 5:41:22 PM

That would be gay/stupid to have multiple versions of the same team

I wouldn't want to play the Chargers and Colts 5 times a piece



Also for the people who will ONLY play as one or two teams...pretty lame

Don't be such homers

8/7/2008 6:07:22 PM

seems like it's a big step down from NCAA's online dynasty. you can only play user controlled teams, no cpu games, no divisions and only 1 season. don't really play madden but that makes me give a big :carlface:

8/7/2008 6:12:38 PM

They probably couldn't figure out how to implement free agents, contracts, and all that stuff for multiple seasons

Not to mention that with 32 people, the draft would take like 19 hours

8/7/2008 6:19:19 PM

Well since its all human players, difficulty rating really has no bearings. Plus this year i think they've done away with all that with the madden IQ shit

To the people on that list, send me a PM (or post it here if you dont care) of your XBL Gamertag and the best email to reach you. Half of the franchise isn't going to be on TDUb, so it's gonna be email communication until the EA Sports world update comes out where you can view all the leagues online.

This will prolly kick off 2-3 weeks after madden drops, hopefully closer to 2, so everyone can get their bearings and won't have to hear no "i don't know the buttons" bullshit

if youre a grown man and don't kno the buttons to madden please turn in your balls

UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE

I'll have to redo the league, it's not as set up as NCAA is, heres a readup here

http://www.pastapadre.com/2930/madden-09-online-league-impressions#more-2930

a 14 team league is prolly the way to go

so everyone is open except for the bucs, and the people that have responded first in the thread gets first dibs on the league of teams, so from the post above its kind of like a draft order.

Sorry about the confusion, i didn't know the league was set up in such a clusterfuck way

[Edited on August 8, 2008 at 3:05 PM. Reason : once i get it all straight I'll make a new thread and get this one locked]

8/8/2008 3:02:40 PM

if not I'll stick with the Chargers

Thats the teams so far, room for 4 more players.

Yea we're redrafting, like i said I'm sorry about the confusion I shoulda looked up more about things before I started this one up, got gun happy

So the list above is the draft order, i've sent PMs to all tell in to choose their team if they want someone new. With 16 players and 32 teams to choose from, someone should be able to find at least 1 team they would want to play with. No emails needed cause this is gonna be a TWW contained league. So just format your pick like I did mine and it'll be good.

This seems the most fair to the ones dead set on who they want and picked a team rather than the "ill take so and so if they become availible" If its an issue I can do a random number generator thig blah blah, just at the end of the day its a vidya game

And i just wanna play vidya games
