The start of the NFL season is this week and thus, so is our league.
Rules and Settings are as follows.
Coaches only league
Salary Cap is On
Skill Level is All-Pro
7 minute quarters
No Accelerated Clock
Game Speed is V Slow
Players Progress every 4 weeks
Firings are On
Injuries are On
Trade Deadline is On and you can trade with the CPU
Legacy points are also on.
Sliders were posted by LeroyOG in the interest thread.
Rules regarding players....If you want to make a trade, thats fine, but you must post the trade in the forums to alert everyone else. If the team trading is ok with it, so is the commish. As for FA pickups. I would like to do a waiver wire type of pick up. Post on the forums who you want to p/u and who you want to drop. If two or more people are going after the same player, the team with the lesser record will earn that player. If you want more than one FA a week, post them in order of who you want most and so on...I will let everyone know at the end of the week who they are authorized to sign should they have the cap space to do so.
Rules for Gameplay....If you are playing the computer, do whatever you wish, but try to remember, this is a psuedo-sim league. I dont expect people to be the Browns and blow out Baltimore. If it happens fine, but I will start messing with sliders if I see it to much. IF you are playing a Human v Human match up. No going for it on 4th downs if you are up and its in the first 3 quarters. If you are up by a wide margin in the second half, it would behoove us to play second stringers. Basically, be good sportsmen. Remember at the end of the game, we are all fans of football and GWJers, therefore, friends. If there are any questions or concerns please share them with me.
The League is created. Name is Madden 4 GWJ Password is Neddam
Sign up when you can. The league will offically open Thursday. I will allow 2 FA pick ups right off the bat, so please notify me in private message who you want. I will run a lottery for picks and post them on here. Good Luck to everyone.
I like that coach firings are on. I think we should make a side bet on who gets fired first. I shall start with Leroy because my Browns face him in the preseason week 1 and come on losing to the Browns you deserve to be fired lol.
Give the gameface a try for the coach. It works surprisingly well.
I am not going to be getting the game till next pay day so won't be able to take part in the opening rounds or FA draft.
I will try and post either tonight or tomorrow who I want from Free Agency
I will post it tonight
Can't get to the free agents till the league starts.
Pro-tip: when you are done with your week, click the advance button. Once everyone is "ready", the league rolls itself.
If you have anyone drop out, please let me know. I like the idea of a coach league much more than a regular one since my stick skills leave much to be desired.
There are plenty of openings lol
I'll sign up tonight.
Off-topic: just started the 2nd season of an offline career and Kurt Warner came out of retirement and signed with the Cardinals. Thought it was interesting that they took the time to put things like that in.
The Players I am looking at in Free Agency are.
1. Chad Johnson
2. Lofa Tatupu
3. Aaron Berry
4. Nick Collins
I will sign up today! Woot!
Since I'm first on the waiver wire I really just need Nick Collins my starting FS is terrible.
This year's Madden is a completely functioning dynasty mode. I dont think we need to report free agents or trades now once we begin. This pre season free agent draft is a good idea though.
The AI is a lot better at rejecting trades. In a test league I offered 2 firsts and a 2nd round pick for Luck, RG3, both Mannings, and Plamer and the AI turned it down each time.

This is my free agent list for the chargers.
1 Husain Abdullah FS
2 Brodney Pool SS
3 Jamie Thomas LG
These are the 3 players that i want to add to my roster for the up comming season. Thanks ALC
Just a reminder, the salary cap is on. :p
Good thing I got about 15 million in cap space.
Okay, I joined and played my first pre-season game. I beat the Patriots but it was against the CPU. I thought Iridium was the Pats?? And I saw the Saints were available so I snagged them. But weren't they taken by someone else too?
This is confusing. Hope I didn't screw things up...
i'm fine with that
Anyone else notice a high number of wide open deep receivers?
I thought it might have been my sliders offline, but I had one online last night. They are almost the only scoring I've given up. I can count on having a receiver streaking down the sideline with out anyone with in 20 yards. Not sure if it's my defensive calls (I tend to switch back and forth between cover 2 and cover 3) or a bug.
so zell am i in the clear to pick collins up?
Teams in the real NFL are required to announce them, so we should too...maybe amend the rules to trade or p/u whoever after this FIRST ROUND of pickups just announce it when a deal is made. Sound reasonable?

SO we are all signed up in the league? Trades will be announced via twitter and well FA should be as well.
I don't think i need any FA's.
