I remember seeing a few people were interested in starting up a PS3 league when the new Madden comes out. I believe the release is in two weeks, so I thought I'd start a thread to see who was interested in playing. Any takers?

Well I'm sorry Mr. Commish, but you are slacking. Should we start calling teams or wait until we have more players?
I would love to play, but holy crap I would get my *** kicked in like Randy Travis....I havent really played Madden in years...
I Think I'll be the Saints. Nappy who do you want? What team? Jags again? Play anyway man. It was a lot of fun when we had a pretty full league last time we did it. Also there was typically a wide range of talent, plus I don't remember anyone cheating so that doesn't make winning impossible.
^^thinking about it.....what is the playing schedule like, my schedule is anything but consistent with work, daddyhood, etc....I don't wanna burden the league, you guys play everyday??
Ya know. I don't know who I want to be.....I was thinking about playing with the phins Online this year. Maybe ill just take them.
We usually play one game a week, if all are completed quickly, we advance the week. Nothing strenuous, if you are going to be gone on vaca or something, you can leave your team, let the person play cpu and get em when you get back. Nothing too serious last time, and it was a lot of fun.
Same. Finyank, if you can spare one hour a week then you should have no problem keeping up with this league.
I'm thinking about it. I will know next Tuesday. Plus I would want to be the Ravens again. Finyank, it was a lot of fun. There was some pressure in getting games done, however there was more emphasis on getting games played than advancing the week. Meaning if two people could only play in two days after everyone else was finished, people were willing to wait the two days.
The Jags? With Gabbert and Henne? I'm good but I have my limits man. Seriously though I've got about 8-10 teams I'm thinking of and was going maybe see who others didn't pick, I'll probably decide something soon. Same. I had a blast with our franchise on Madden 10' so after that didn't fool with the others. Finyank, I think you'd be fine. At our peak we had 22 members with the last franchise and like others said, we had all ranges of skill level. We usually did a game a week and either I'd set a specific time with my opponent through PMs here or just arrange something through texts.
I would say most people who stopped playing did so because life got in the way. There were a few that didn't have fun or were mad because we did the draft because 22 of 23 people showed up when only 17 were going to.
Put me down as well. I'm pretty terrible but always looked forward to joining an online franchise. For now I'll take the lions but that'll prolly change
Seriously... Madden league on Xbox? I know Chris is too scared that I'll smack him but I'd love to get a league going on 360.
I am not scared to lose. Like I told skeet before, I have never played madden on xbox in my life, I hardly EVER play xbox....all my games I play are on ps3.... COD, Red Dead, GTA, The Show, NCAA etc. So to try to learn an entire new button function while also playing in a semi-competitive madden league has NO appeal to me. Ill stick to playstation where I have been playing football games since gameday 98' !!!
And it's a money factor....I am def getting madden on ps3, all my friends play it, i have online access, and i know how to play. If I paid money for xbox version, im looking at another 60 bones on the game, plus money for xbox live....so $120.00 + xbox live for madden, which might suck ***. I'd rather save for GTA when it comes out
Don't think of it as $60 for a year... think of it as $5 each month... that's like one less drink at the bar per month. It's OK, I understand. You're scared.
I traded in my PS3 ways back for my ex and junk...if/when I get a new one I'm joining again. Last league was way too fun. Be ready for 44 rated WR's leading the league in receiving without glitches and cheats again
That and think some people just bored with it after a bit, definitely not me though. Handcrafting a team with trades, free agency, the Draft and having a 2-3 year plan was a blast. I loved playing other people but the Draft was a lot of fun too. Just trying to decide what you were going do, go need or BPA, cursing because someone took the player you wanted a few picks ahead of you, etc. This time around my life is a little busier with a full semester at school but should be fine.
Yeah life definitely got in my way. It was really fun making trades with people involving draft picks and just doing the draft period. So pissed I never got a chance to overcome Aboome. Dude stood between me and the Superbowl I think twice.
