GWJ Madden 2012 Organization XBOX 360

League is created send me a message via xbox live to get the pw

So is Tampa an acceptable new team? I picked up the game today and Josh Freeman aint Peyton :).

Yes it is...league name is is GWJ madden. Send me or zell a message to get pw.

Could you keep the Lions on reserve for me? I'm gonna get the game just gonna wait for a used one to pop up cheap.

i will be sticking with my jaguars ...

double post

So I played at a launch party last night...54 people playing for one of two prizes (winner got a free 250gb xbox and the collectors edition plus a 250 dollar gift card. Second place was collectors edition and a gift card) Anyway, I finished 4th overall...played to 4 OT's before he won on a FG.

that aside...it is a better game than 11 but it needs to be patched. There are a few bugs in it and rosters are from the draft. No free agents or trades have taken effect yet. I do agree that man coverage is better but the DBs still make some crazy plays...there are times when they dont make an attempt on the ball and others where they jump from mid field and block a sideline streak...Other than that, I think I will like this game. I would suggest though, to turn gameplay from normal to slow to give it the same speed as madden 10 and 11. Just my two cents worth.

Wait...you already created the league? I thought we were waiting two weeks for the patches and updates? They wont take unless we wait and start the league after they drop.

So far I am enjoying the game. Wasn't sure because NCAA lost it's luster with the crazy defense issues. So far so good.

I'm enjoying it too. The coordinator chatter is a nice touch.

the update and patch is already there lol. We aren't starting until after this weekend

Be nice on the Steelers till I get back from the States

I have played about 6 games in a Franchise with Tampa and one online game. All I can say is LeGarrett Blount is a monster and Kellen Winslow is pretty darn sharp. Josh Freeman is a cannon with legs, I tend to overthrow a lot of balls. The D-line feels almost as good as the Colts and I think they actually stop the run better. Overall, they don't feel as tight as the Colts, but they surprised me in some areas.

That's the plan zell... Uh I have played one game and got trumped so I have some work to learn the entire new playbook.

OH! How about this for a rule this yr....you have to use your teams playbook offensive and defensive. No exceptions

I don't have a problem with this since I don't know much about customizing the playbooks. Probably be doing myself more harm than good.

I am not good with that. I am ok with no custom play books, but if I want to use a playbook from a different team as I have in the past, I'd like that option.

I look at it as this, I'm not Jim Schwartz, so why should I use HIS playbook?

But I do anyway but that's besides the point.

Concur, I am more Belichidungy myself :).

My thing on the playbook is that for the Pats it is last years scheme this year they are alot more 4-3 as opposed to previous years where they are 3-4 that's a BIG deal as the players in the game are all set for them to use the 4-3 but the playbook is wrong.

Also the roster looks screwed up will the league be able to use the last roster update that I believe is set for next week with all the proper players on proper teams...There is gonna be A TON of movement the next 4 days with every team needing to drop 27 players I guarantee that BIG players are moving from teams that I can bet alot of people in this league are going to want to use.

To get a fresh roster just log in to play an online game. It will prompt you to download a new roster. You don't even have to play the game.

Are we going to need to maintain a local custom profile and roster for use in the league? Or will our changes and settings be saved to the league itself?

1. Playbooks are allowed
2. I will take care of the rosters (due to the high number/volume of players out there I wanted to get the league started so I can see all who we have.)
3. As long as you make a change online to your roster you will keep that change online. If you make a change offline to your roster it will not change online in the franchise.
4. All the people askin me to hold teams thats fine.
5. jayhawker are you joining us this yr?
6. Its great to have everyone back...I know its only been a month or so since the last season but still good to see everyone.

No, sorry. I had the pre-release edition, but I have not bought a copy of the game. I'm up in the air if I will. And I really don't have time for league play right now. I'd jump back into the NCAA league if I thought I had the time.

I may be out as well. With NHL around the corner as well as GoW3, not to mention real life stuff in between, I don't think I'd be an easy person to schedule with. Not to mention I wouldn't have the time to play enough to be competitive.

Good luck to all owners!

Bean give it a try and lets see how it goes...

ok, i thought this was kinda funny. in week 1 the titans played in jacksonville. the weather conditions were sunny , but with a temperature of 68 degree ... IN SEPTEMBER!!! lol

yeah...

So when should we start signing up? Are we waiting for the final roster? Given the cuts over the weekend, might be best.
