Im dipping into the FA pool fyi. Pretty scarce anyways. So does everyone want me to advance to reg season?
OK new season is on good luck guys. Since its Monday I can give everyone until Thurs if needed to advance.
Some random notes. Since the midway point of the first season I had plans on drafting a particular QB with my first and Seattle grabbed him. Lions you got me over twice. One you drafted the WR I wanted the pick before me, then I didn't think I would miss my 4th but didn't want to risk my second QB getting drafted so took him a round higher than I needed to in the third. Then I was looking at free agents and noticed Hartron was gone so checked the rosters and then, "oh **** you" Sick; did sign Bess though. CPU grabbed a FA or two I was after also. Not done messing around but was itching to play so did my first game. Weird playing the Dolphins, and also seeing Jason Campbell and Rashard Mendenhall starting in Phins uniforms. Won 14-7, but played better than the score indicates. Rookie QB made some mistakes but also some pretty great plays. Looking forward to what my new offense can do (6 new starters), my defense continuing on, and the new season.
In a good mood; looks like you got a 69 LE, 66 LOLB, 67 WR, 69 HB. Remember though that if we run different schemes then our ratings will be different.
idk I wouldnt mind having a couple more peeps in the L. Fin O are you going to be active? Im booting all the autopilot peeps.
Because you started week 1 on autopilot I have to boot you and send you a reinvite for the league, which I will. That goes for anyone on auto.
Oh, he mad. Yeah, Hartron! All that talent and he'll never get to see a Super Bowl, sorry White Lightning. Computer was nice enough to get Tebow for him.
You were mentioning wins, I was saying head-to-head. Besides, I don't see you with a 2nd place 2012 Coach of the Year trophy; that's what I thought! As far as user teams I think I just play the Lions and Texans this season.
So I played week one last night holy sh&% what a difference a speed receiver makes. I crushed the Bucs 59-7. I almost had a perfect passer rating with Locker. Wallace had 300 yrds, Good way to start,
Also if everyone's played I can go ahead and advance if not I understand later start to the week. Just let me know so we can get back on sched.
Was almost over my butthurt for losing the bid on him... thanks. Seriously though, it's a lot of fun to see how your new free agents and draft picks fit in with your team. Just my one game was fun with my new rookie QB, Bess and Henderson, my new FB, and Delanie Walker. Locked up my stud FS for 6 years as well. AFC might be stronger than some think.
I normally don't run the score up, think I had one of the worst offenses last season statistically, but beat the Steelers 52-3. My defense seemed to be extra ferocious in this game. I just have 2 new defensive starters but my offense has changed a lot, hopefully I'm a little more powerful on that side of the ball now. Rookie QB Alexander Williams threw for 3 TDs and rushed for one more. I was never really a fan of Cassel but pretty much had to make for the best for one season, now it's a lot more fun with a QB I like. Big E, when did you get Clay Matthews?
Gotcha, didn't think there was any CPU trading. Is that changed now? I can't be letting the neighbors catch up to the Joneses.
We made a rule against it with the Madden 10 franchise and then carried it over to this one as well, I think in the first few pages of this thread it's discussed.
I wasnt in the 10 one sorry. I just figured as hard as the computer makes trades,,,,,So what do you guys want me to do?
OK so here's my solution and since only 7 of us are active it makes sense to me. Every yr players are allowed to make one trade with a comp team. I dont see this as being an issue as Madden has made trading so hard you practically give up more than you get every time. I traded LT Roos, LG Hutchingson, and a 2nd for Matthews. In all honesty thats a crazy trade. I can promise you the comp wont make it back with me if I reversed the roles. So what do you guys think?
Sounds good, would just say if we decide on that rule that people post their one trade when it's accepted, just to keep up with it. Looks like everyone's basketball team made it to the Sweet Sixteen except one...
