LEAGUE RULES

TRADE/FREE AGENT RULES:

1) Trades: Both teams must post the agreed trade in the weekly thread. I will then examine the trade, and if I think it is an unfair trade, I will veto. If both teams would like to "challenge" my veto, we will hold a league vote, and I will need 2/3 majority to overturn my veto by the end of the sim period. If I am involved in a trade, Zellbridge will act as commissioner, and examine the trade, and we will follow the same path. If Zell and I trade, it will automatically be put to league vote. If a trade is approved by the league, it will be processed directly after the league is simmed. Week 6 trades, it will be processed right before the sim, since that is the deadline.

PROPER TRADE REQUEST FORMAT:
Team: (Your Team Name)
Request: Trade with (Team you are trading with)
(Team) Gets:
Player A- Position, Rating
Player B- Position, Rating
Player C- Position, Rating

(Team) Gets:
Player A- Position, Rating
Player B- Position, Rating
Player C- Position, Rating

2) Free Agent Pickups: Any player who is out for 3 or more weeks, may be replaced by a free agent. You must pick up a free agent from the same position. Only exceptions are if the free agent would be used in another capacity, and please explain that in your FA request post (IE- Your tight end gets hurt, but you want to replace him with a WR, because he is your 4th string WR, then you may pick up a WR). ZelbrigeN will gather and evaluate all free agent requests, and on about the last day of the sim period, he will send me a PM with all free agent requests. After the week gets simmed, I will process all free agent pickups, so NO ONE should be touching the free agents, regardless of the situation.

PROPER FREE AGENT REQUEST FORMAT:
Team: (Your Team Name)
Request: Free Agent Pickup
Injured Player: (Name- Position, Injury Length)
Adding Player: (Name- Position)
Dropping Player: (Name- Position)

These rules will be posted in the main part of the thread EVERY WEEK. If someone doesn't follow these rules, you get 2 warnings. 3rd warning, you're booted. If I have to get to a third warning, there's something seriously wrong with you.

Ok I totally thought yours and one wilds game was already finished lol get them done whenever u can

Game played, thought I was going to choke there, losing 10-0 and then 17-7, then Big Ben went off injured so Dixon came in and the Steelers looked to their history and took to the erm ground, who needs to pass it when you can boringly run the ball every play. Won in the end, with victory sealed by an interception TD return in the last min.

lol...nice

Sorry! i had to run for a business trip and will probably be gone for the rest of the week. You can drop me for this week (Don't want to punish indiana)

Ok, so I feel the need to keep you guys in the know about certain things so here is a few tidbits about scheduling for me getting hectic.

first off, I start a new job monday and will be training for the next few weeks and the hours there will be a little nuts.

second, I broke up with my gf of two years and we are currently separating ourselves from each other...

third, I have two guard trips this month. One is from april 14-17 and the other is april 26th-may 15th. I will have my xbox with me on the later trip but not the first one. Still though, it will be harder to find time to play than normal and the internet there is shoddy at best.

fourth, I might be in the hospital soon. I went to the doctor today and he said I was fine, but wanted me to check in for the next few weeks because I have been getting frequent pains in the chest area accompanied by shortness of breath and numbness...not good signs. Not really sure why since i stay active and whatnot.

That said, I will do my best to get my games in (exp with the playoffs getting ready to start) and take part in the season two draft. But given all this crap looming over my head, I ask that my opposition and others be patient when trying to play me. I hope by late may to have all this taken care of and be back in a normal rhythmic kinda mode.

Just stay active on the forums and all will be well

not trying to one-up Zell, but I am currently separated and going through a divorce as well. But I should be able to play tomorrow night. I grabbed Madden today and just have to go to my friends house to play. If I don't get it in tomorrow night it will be Friday morning since I am off.

Thanks for understanding!

Who's ready for some playoffs!?

I am very interested in this years playoffs...NFC is up for grabs...dunno who will win it Lions, Cowboys, or Packers? As for the AFC...whew...that is interesting as can be. All six playoff teams are owner controlled. If they fixed the playoff bug from last year then Spy and Myself will get the bye's and it will be Steelers at Chargers and Jags at Bills...both would be awesome to watch. Then winner of those games move on and the face the Colts and Ravens...I think it would be interesting to take bets (metaphorically) to see who gets what odds. It will be a great playoff series though. Best of luck to all.

Cowboys are only team left to play when that happens league will roll...bills win

And you will be all under the pressure of the outstand chance that an English person could win it and I know you couldn't live with yourselves if that happened

lol...stranger things have happened...I remember in Madden 10, I beat this guy named smokefourties in the reg season. He was the Colts and I was the Broncos. I beat him like 42-21 or something like that. He ended up beating me in the wildcard round 35-24. I couldnt believe it...I spent all week practicing for my division round match because I thought I already had it won against him (given how we played in the previous game). Turns out, the game takes into account that its a playoff game and all the players get boosts or penalties to their stats based on how their real life counterparts "should" deal with the pressure. So since he had a veteran playoff team his guys did outstanding while mine could barely catch or hold onto the ball...its crazy. I had Eddie Royal wide open 30yrds downfield and when Orton threw it (he wasnt being pressured) he under threw Royal by about 10yrds. Crap like that happened all game...

back to the point at hand. You have your work cut out for you Onewild...(if i looked at this right) You will have to beat the 3 seed in the wildcard, the 1st seed in the division round and then the winner of 2nd seed vs 4/5 seeds during the AFC championship just to make it to the Superbowl...Think you got it in you? I seriously think this is the toughest set of games for ANYONE in this league play...i sincerely wish you the best of luck.

hey guys, this is important

EA sports is being sued via class action for holding exclusive rights to football games on the consoles. IF you bought a new copy of Madden 05-11, NCAA 05-11, or Arena football game then you can get in on this and maybe get some reimbursement. You should have received a letter about it, but if not, here is the website going into detail about it.

Yep that .67 cents is going to make a real difference.

My favorite part is the plaintiff's attorneys saying that EA raised the prices almost seventy percent.

They neglect to mention All Pro 2K8, and the fact that Take Two charged $60 for that sucker.

Hell no, I'm just happy to make the playoffs, even though that is due to a healthy dose of playing the A.I. I'm just looking forward to convincing you all to buy Fifa so I can show you how REAL football should be played

real football? man, soccer is junk...the only reason it is so popular is third world countries can afford to play it too...but i also want to point out that if you grew up swatting at bugs and living in a mud hole, the idea of kicking a ball across a oprn grassy field would seem like paradise.

to everyone else, I just mentioned the lawsuit thing incase anyone was interested. Just wanted to bring attention to it incase anyone was.

The league will be rolled if the cowboys game is played before 7est

nice
