PS3 Madden 10 Players Wanna Play or Start Online Franchise Mode?

    Hey there, I know most online guys play XBox Madden, and to be honest, I usually don;t like playing Madden online because I get my *** kicked...

    but this year you can start online franchise mode where you and other friends are all in a division playing against each other with your franchises.

    Well, I don;t wanna play random 12 year old kids, but if there are some guys and gals here who'd be interested in playing fellow ThePhins members online in Madden 10 then sign up here!

    If I can get enough people we can start an online franchise mode season, each of us picking a franchise.

    I would love to get dibs on the Phins, but that might not be fair, so we can have a lottery to see who picks their franchises first.

    Also, you can do a full expansion draft if we decide to, where you build the roster from scratch with ALL the players in the NFL. That might be cool and the ultimate GM thing to do, thought less realistic.

    So, any PS3 owners wanna start an online league?

    I'm in but I have to play a few games first. I have not played Madden in around a year, the controls feel foreign to me and that is a recipe for a solid *** kicking.

    And, can we not do an expansion draft? I'm not good at those things, and it takes a while to do.

    I'm cool with all that.

    Let's get some practice time in this week and we'll choose actual teams instead of doing expansion draft.

    Anyone have ideas of a fair way of deciding who gets to pick teams first? I know I'd want the Dolphins and so woul a lot of people, so we need a way (that everyone agrees with) to help pick teams.

    By the way... two notes on my experiences playing so far:

    1) Played online tonight and narrowly lost using Pat White as the QB. It was fun! Had one long run with him. And he throws deep decently.

    2) I started an offline franchise (Dolphins) and immediately ammassed several first and second round picks by trading Joey Porter, Ronnie Brown, Jason Taylor and Chad Pennington away. Now I platoon Henne/White and have 4 first round picks, four second round picks AND managed to get Rey Maualuga, Aaron Curry AND Darrius Heyward-Bey in the deals. Crazy. My team may struggle THIS season, but holy CRAP will they be loaded with young talent for YEARS to come!!!!

    Youngest to oldest, lol.
    And to be honest, I don't think I'm going to pick Miami even if they are available to me where ever I draft. I want to pick the best team, to have the best chance at winning. But, I wouldn't be suprised if my Homerish side forces me to pick Miami.

    I'm in.

    I started a franchise, played all 4 preseason games and I'm 3 games into the season.

    I can NOT, for the life of me run the football but I can throw it all over the place which is weird for me because I'm a ball control player.

    lmao well done.



    i am currently in my first season as well....iam 3-4.....lost some BS games to the colts and bills because of terrible clock management on my part.....but i shut out the jets on monday night football (woot) and destroyed the falcons and saints.....

    still a little inconsistent. but like bpk said, i love using pat white....he gives you a real running threat. pennington is crazy accurate....even on the run. i hit bess on crossing routes all the time rolling out with penny.

    having minimal success running....ronnie is very good to use with the new technology they added (protak)

    i am very excited for this league.....i think there is some kind of website that griddles used for the gm league that randomly chooses an order....so you can have it randomly choose the order of how we pick teams......or you can just have a free for all in this thread.....first come first serve pick your teams....

    and imo....you can have the dolphins bpk cause you are making this franchise....you deserve it.....ill be happy with the vikes, panthers, or someone else :shifty:

    im just rearing to get started woot!

    I think this is something I'd be interested in....BUT;

    1. I can only play late evenings
    2. I have to link up my online ID and an EA account
    3. Do I have to pay for online franchise mode? Really?
    4. Never did this before, how much of a commitment is it?

    Yeah man. I picked up the game yesterday, so I figured I'd check out the online franchise mode section. It said purchase, redeem code, or cancel. If I remember correctly, I think it was like $19.99. I live in CAN, but not sure if that was $CAN or $USD.

    First of all, sorry about disappearing for couple days! Working on my Madden game!!! lol. Nah, just got hit with a bunch of work!!

    For those still interested, I'll get it going over the next week.

    To answer you, Tone E, I am under the impression Xbox peeps have to pay, but not PS3 peeps. I'll go check ASAP.

    Okay... so, roll call of those interested from here... I have:

    1) Bpk (me)
    2) SICK
    3) Ashraf
    4) Tone_E
    5) Unified
    6) nappyroots
    7) Dupree (if he gets game)

    I also have a couple friends who may join.

    Am I missing anyone???


    Some preference questions:

    1) Is everyone okay with picking teams with only the current rosters, or does anyone want to do an entire fantasy expansion draft?
    Personally, I think the draft is too much work and would rather start with existing rosters.

    2) How long would people like to see quarters? I think 5 minutes can be too little to allow running games, so lean towards slightly longer, like 7 minutes. Tell me what you think. I am open to what the crowd wants.

    Due to moving this weekend, buying madden is low on my priorities for the month. I will be getting it around labor day weekend.

    No problem, Dupree.

    So you know, it says that Madden Online Franchise lets you change one of the CPU teams to a user-contro9lled team at any point.

    So, if we start the league, you can still join after the fact, so long as everyone is okay with it. Of course, you won;t exactly have your pick of the crop of teams.
