PS3 Madden 12 Online Franchise (Fantasy Draft)

[gpngc]

Fantasy Draft will be Sunday, September 4th at 7:30 PM ET.

LEAGUE NAME: nfldc
LEAGUE PASSWORD: draft

To sign up, simply post your PSN and which team you are choosing.

I'm being the Seahawks so the first three teams to sign up have to choose from the 49ers, Rams, and Cardinals.

If more than three others sign up, you can start choosing from the NFC East (Giants, Eagles, Cowboys, Redskins). This way if we get 8 guys, we'll all play each other twice regardless during the regular season.

Participants
SEATTLE SEAHAWKS gpngc PSN: gpngc
ARIZONA CARDINALS Charm City PSN: Buddha_Brown
SAN FRANCISCO 49ers StripedWalrus PSN - Gorgonschlopt
ST. LOUIS RAMS Holtbruce PSN - scooterw16

PHILADELPHIA EAGLES Bmoreblackbirds PSN - Danith52

*if we only get 4 people I'll still do it. Please PM me on Sunday night to notify me that you'll be drafting live (I don't want to do it alone but 2 more people would still be fun - it's just like a CPU franchise except with a few human games sprinkled hopefully inlcluding the chamionship).

[V.I.P]

Why can't i be the Seahawks?

[gpngc]

You don't deserve them

[ccB]

I'll do it, Cardinals prease

PSN: Buddha_Brown

[holt_bruce81]

I would join as the Rams but I don't think I can make the draft.

[Caddy]

Do it on the Xboxes

[OSUGiants17]

Do it on the Xboxes

Agreed, anyone else down for a XBL one?

[Caddy]

If you hear anything OSU message me! My copy should be arriving in the mail soon.

[gpngc]

Agreed, anyone else down for a XBL one?

F U all. if i buy xbox for some reason ill join.


But this si the ps3 thread so take ur weak game elsewherez

[gpngc]

and vIP are u really interested or just breakign chops?

[holt_bruce81]

Ohh wait nevermind I can make it. I'll be the rams.

[gpngc]

Cool so we have four. What's your PSN holtbruce?

And if anyone else wants to sign up you have to choose from the NFC East teams.

[StripedWalrus]

Im prolly gunna be bad...havnt played in a few years but I will practice up.

[RaiderNation]

If I had Madden id join. Just don't feel the game is worth my $60 when it is the same game every year with no major improvements

[ccB]

Im prolly gunna be bad...havnt played in a few years but I will practice up.

Don't worry, I'm not all that great myself

If I had Madden id join. Just don't feel the game is worth my $60 when it is the same game every year with no major improvements

I'm not going to try and convince you to buy the game because at the core it is the "same" game it's always been.

BUT I will say, they have improved the franchise mode this year, made it far deeper than years past. I love using the cut days to unearth talent, it doesn't happen a ton but when you get a usable UDFA it's tight. I also like the FA bidding wars, pretty fun adjustment, plus the scouting while still kinda ******, is more difficult this year, you have to be smart with who you scout instead of already knowing who all the best players are.

Also I feel like the gameplay is much tighter this year, I didn't play last years madden a ton but I did play a lot of NCAA 12 and your control of the players is far better in Madden than NCAA this year, it's especially noticeable on defense.

[vikes_28]

I'd join if it were for xbox.

Psn is scooterw16

[BmoreBlackByrdz]

I'm down,


PSN - Danith52 - Baltimore Ravens

edit - nvm, just read the 1st post, I'll take the Philadelphia Eagles if the NFC West teams are taken.

[gpngc]

BUMP. If we got three more to complete the NFCE that'd be awesome but 5 is still a good #.

DRAFT REMINDER - TONIGHT AT 7:30 PM ET!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll send out the invites shortly!

[Nalej]

Damn, I would if I had time to commit to something like that.
You guys would be waiting on me on a weekly basis though.

[gpngc]

It's not going to be that strict. We'll go at our own pace. If you can play about 2-3 games a week, that would be fine...

[BmoreBlackByrdz]

how many games per week will we have to play?

[gpngc]

Communicating on here is a must. As long as you set up your game with your opponent and play a MINIMUM of ONE game per week, we'll be fine. After that, we'll have to consider simming. I can't wait for this draft.

[gpngc]

And I'd expect everyone to play their W1 matchup tonight after the draft (or at least make plans to play tomorrow w/ their opponent)...

I play stripedwalrus.

holtbruce plays blackbirds

and charmcity plays the CPU

[StripedWalrus]

Sounds good. I will be able to play after draft. Will also be able to play games most evenings after 11 pm EST for those late nights and on any day I am off...usually off on Sundays as well but football is on TV!

[gpngc]

STRIPEDWALRUS - I can't invite you. You either gave me the wrong psn or didn't sign up for online with the Madden 12 code reedemed yet.

Everyone else is invited. PM in between 7:20-7:29 tonight so I can start the fantasy draft with everyone there.

[holt_bruce81]

How long are the quarters? 7-min with clock runoff seemed to short for me when I tried it.

[gpngc]

8 min w/ 20-second runoff? I'll change it to that.

[gpngc]

Please post in this thread to let me know you are here and ready to draft.

[gpngc]

OK I see the 49ers and Rams have signed up but Philly and Arizona haven't. WHERE ARE YOU GUYS?

[holt_bruce81]

I'm ready whenever, got nothing going on right now. Not sure if I can get my game in tonight. Friends girlfriends 21st birthday tonight.

Whens everyone usually available to play? On weekdays I work 11-7 mon-fri so I'm free anytime after 7:30 ct. And idk about the weekends, I have a drinking problem.

[StripedWalrus]

Im in and ready to go.

[gpngc]

Well it looks like it's just gonna be us three... oh well.

[BmoreBlackByrdz]

[holt_bruce81]

[gpngc]

Make sure you go to wait in the right spot by going to ROSTERS (underneath OWNERS and SCHEDULE) then -- LIVE DRAFT -- it should say Live Draft Paused. at preciesely 730 I'll start it.

[gpngc]

Be the Cards lol

and yes. be teh cards.

[BmoreBlackByrdz]

at the main menu, having some trouble finding where to go???

[gpngc]

Main Menu - Online - Madden NFL Online - Online Franchises - Invitations - nfldc - enter franchise - ROSTERS - LIVE DRAFT

and wait until it begins.

[holt_bruce81]

All 53 rounds usually will last around 3 hours or so, maybe even 4. I may not stay for every round. But definitely for the first 2 hours or so.

[BmoreBlackByrdz]

got it lol, and Cardinals right?

[gpngc]

yes.

cardinals.

And holtbruce, once we are all drafted and signed up we can start pming each other to play - u don thave to stay the whole time obviously lol.

[BmoreBlackByrdz]

[gpngc]

[holt_bruce81]

All you need is Vick. All running QB's are great assets in Madden, Vick is borderline unfair.

[gpngc]

[gpngc]

Rams and Cardinals post here when you've finished your games against the CPU so I can advance the week.

[bantx]

I've missed out on this :C

[StripedWalrus]

If I could repick I would change my team greatly. Seems Mediocre O Line and Dline are just as good as great players. However the same is not true for the Secondary and WR.

[Nalej]

I don't know about that... I have an average, maybe slightly above avg OLine in my personal franchise and I get sacked/hit/hurried ALOT!

[holt_bruce81]

sooooooooo

[gpngc]

I played my Week 2 game. Anyone else?

[holt_bruce81]

I played my Week 2 game. Anyone else?

Played mine like 3 days ago. Cards still haven't.
