Congrats Spy.

So what happens now?

Thanks, it was a good season. Will be nice to have Dallas Clark back next season. Lost him in the first game for the season. I missed the first game of the season and so the AI played the game. He will definitely be a factor this upcoming season.

Yes please

How does free agency work? Or do we only do the draft?

I think just draft.

Hi everyone sorry abotut the bit of silence on my part I have been a little busy... So I had this long explanation on how the free agency will work as a waiver system and give you the owners full control of your teams. For instance the waiver wire will go like this...if spy wants a running back in FA and I want the same running back I get priority now this also should help out trades. Because we have a good group of guys I know no one will take advantage of the trade system. So I propose that you are a allowed to make 3 trades maximum with computer teams. The system in game doesn't allow stupid trades so I'm hoping it goes the same for online. Now if I see a Vick for a Roscoe Parrish trade that will not happen.

More details are to come when I have more time.

I also would like to get the draft done sometime next week...Saturday maybe?

I think I can be around. So what you are saying is, we all get priority over free agents because Spy Navy is a Madden god?

lol yep lol

I can do Saturday the 14th. Are we going into Free Agency after the draft? Are we going to propose trades and have them approved through you first? Last years draft system stunk and I literally cut all my drafts except for the kicker so it will be interesting to see if there is improvement.

So I guess my dreams for Namde Asomghua should be shelved huh?

I will try to make any dates you all agree for the draft since I'm the odd one out so to speak. However I have a few things to say about Saturday, I assume you mean next Saturday and not tomorrow/today.
In that case my only problems would be Doctor Who at 6pm and the fact I would like to get to bed before midnight. I'm willing to miss Doctor Who if needs be, however not willing to stay up past midnight due to having work on Sunday morning.

Next saturday should be fine as well, as long as the draft starts before 11am. Otherwise I will be in the air.

Hey guys, I am out. No more Madden for me. Be back for NCAA 12.

During the Season Free Agency Will Look Like this:

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)

Up til week one you will have the opportunity to balance your team through FA. Pick up people where you need depth or where you want to. You are in Control. Now this is something also I would like to throw out there. You don't need to replace the position with the position lost. Hence you are happy with your back ups for the position lost but still feel like you need to drop a player. Or better yet just want to drop a player due to lack of production. Let me know what you think on this.

As for trades they will be approved through me but the catch is now you can trade twice per season with Computer teams. No Michael Vick for chad henne trades though.

Considering the draf might suck again that is why Im opening up teams to FA and Trades asap.

I am thinking 10 am est time so that shoulld be good for your Dr. Who fix and bed

That works for me, for once living 5 hours in the future pays off, as that means I don't have to get up early on a Saturday!

i can do 10am on saturday.

10am should work...I have to leave at noon to get to the airport on time.

All right lets plan on that! Also Happy Free Comic Book Day EveryOne! Is everyone cool with the trade and FA scenario?

everything looks good to me.

Few more days to go everyone get thier draft boards set?

oh also is there anyone who wants to switch teams? this is the time. After the draft your stuck with your team until week one and if you decide to change teams after week one you can't switch to a team that you traded with.

two things...First off, Avaldo contacted me and wants to switch teams but he is out of town and cant switch it until he gets back later this week. Second, Where do we find the draft list? I have looked all over the website and cant find it anywhere.

I'm back in but I stole the Lions.

Rosters->Draft Board

I can see all the potential rookies. And is FA open now?

So will I be able to draft live or do I have to use my pre-rankings?

Thanks for answering the question Leroy. yes FA is open the format is this:

PROPER FREE AGENT REQUEST FORMAT:
Team: (Your Team Name)
Request: Free Agent Pickup
Adding Player: (Name- Position)

Also in order to sign your draft picks you will need to open up 7 spots (I think this is for all teams) to sign your draft picks. If you don't then the computer will do it for you and who knows what it will do.

If you drop a player there is no requirement on informing the league who you dropped since we can find it out on the transaction history.

Avaldo is the Texans now?

Also when is Dylan signing up?
