    I've been unable to sign into the franchise for the past 2 days. Every time I try signing into "my franchises" it freezes.

    Week 5, 7, and 9 I play Browns, Panthers, and Saints in that order. Then to end the season I play Chargers/Ravens back to back, two AFCC teams last season. Two tough little stretches. Then while not playoff teams I also have Colts, Texans, and Falcons who will give me some tough games.

    I just tried and first two times I got a franchise down message but kept trying, third time it let me in just a few minutes after reading your post Barry. Are you guys trying multiple times? If so wonder why some get through and some can't.

    I'll keep trying. Just don;t wanna lose my connection forty minutes into the game anyways!!

    Ah crap, as we were speaking I just lost 'peer connection' to a NORMAL online madden game I was gonna start just so I could play. This is so dumb.

    Hey guys, can't complete my kicker trade unless I do what starry did, and pick up a scrub kicker so I can release Longwell, then drop him again. Otherwise roster won't let me drop my only kicker for Romeo to pick up.

    Not trying to get a free agent, just trying to complete a trade, then I'll drop the scrub!

    Unless Sick can help me out and just complete the transaction. I should have Araujo (the kicker the Falcons drafted for me) and CB Biggers off the Falcons roster. I already dropped Longwell for him.

    Just testing how many 'spaces' I have on my roster by adding as many of my OLD roster guys as I could then dropping them again, in case anyone's wondering.

    Wanna know how many slots I have open for FA.

    Looks like about 8, maybe 9... unless Madden has no roster limit right now until I've played my first game?

    That happened to me earlier today. I haven't played too many online games yet and I was actually winning in this one and it just said "lost connection" and it ended the game. Does that count as a loss?

    Hm, too lazy to look at everyone's schedule right now but that's certainly not an easy one you have. On the bright side you'll be able to pick up some better draft picks in the top 10 next season. lol Just kidding with ya. You'll definitely have to fight nearly every week though.

    PVP Week 1

    This is the week where we are all champions and we are all losers, equally. Except for the people who already played.

    Jaguars
    Starry31
    Colts
    b00g1E_p0p

    The jaguars start right back up with being the champions of the regular season. They were able to take out the Colts in the first week.

    Cowboys (0-0)
    finomenal
    Eagles (0-0)
    mor911

    NFC East matchup. Important game in the first week. Can Mor win games against players? Can the Cowboys make the playoffs this year? Questions will be answered. Well question. Cowboys could still miss the playoffs at 2-14.

    Bears (0-0)
    Graythreat
    Packers (0-0)
    Keyz-E

    Can the Packers take out their anger for missing the draft on the Bears? What will the Bears look like this season?

    Falcons (0-0)
    rvmartinez64
    Panthers (0-0)
    FailHorn

    Right out of the block the Falcons get Mike Tyson. Can they finally move past the Panthers? Can the Panthers rediscover their swagger?

    49ers (0-0)
    KrillCosby
    Ravens (0-0)
    dolfandupree

    In KrillCosby's first game he gets a human opponent who is pretty good if I say so myself. This game will show the league what kind of player he is. Can the Ravens bounce back from their 7 interception destruction from the playoffs last season?

    Saints (0-0)
    MrBigKatt
    Texans (0-0)
    ILWakeAir

    Texans return to get killed. Will the Saints win by 20 or 40 points? That is the question on everyone's mind. Can the Texans hold back their frustration of not being able to get a regular drop back pass off or will the controller go through the tv?

    REMINDER: No signing of new Free Agents off the waiver wire! If they aren;t one of your draft picks or someone who you released off your *own* roster to make room for draft picks, then do not pick them up.

    Well, until Free Agency opens Friday night at 9:15 PM EST.

    As per Sick:

    couldn't have put it any better myself. dropping back to pass is nonexistent against this guy. a flying controller is expected

    Browns Roster is set as far as Draft picks vs. original guys cut by CPU, etc. So any player on the FA wire is officially FA from any Browns moves, etc.

    P.S. Browns pick off Collins 4 times and cruise to comfortable 24-6 victory over Titans to kick off the season.



    So, tonight at 9:15pm EST the FA wire is live and available for any player on the wire?

    Is greyheart still the bears.

    BTW, why is some of my players gone?
     
  24. Bpk

    Bpk Premium Member Luxury Box

    Nappy, the computer drops roster guys to celear space for draft picks That's why free agency is frozen til tonight so people can pick their guys back up.

    You better grab em now nappy, cuz at 9:15pm EST tonight they'll be fair game!

    Aside from you though, nappy (I'm glad ya checked in!), and more in general, I think some of our more 'drop in' members are going to be annoyed when their players get picked up by other teams tonight. Thing is, we have discussed this process since last week so I think it's fair to have a cutoff day and time.

    I just hope no one gets screwed. It's a good reminder of why ya need to be on here following the message board for your league, though.

    As Barry said the CPU automatically makes room for your 7 Draft picks and cuts the 7 worst ranked players on your team. Can't sign any FA until tonight at 9:15 unless they were on your team last season, a draft pick via trade, or a trade so if you have any players that got cut that you still want better hop on before FA opens up. Like my returner is a 40 Overall and of course got cut to make room for a Draft pick but picked him back up. And yeah, graythreat (daphins on the site) still controls the Bears.

    So... what CAN one do to counter-act it? Has no one in the league got an answer for the Saints??

    Should we expect the first 19-0 season this year from them?

    Browns came away victorious in regular season last year (with Brees and Bush both healthy).....my advice, like any other owner controlled team, give them your best shot and play smart. They bleed the same blood as you and me.:up:

    Im not going to lie it's a ***** to stop but max protect slows it down to a crawl.
    the reason my D is so effective is I user control the safety double team the player I believe your going to pass to. Yet iF I bite wrong then my screwed and most times it ends up being 6.

    I tried four times and no luck, I exited back to main Madden menu and first try let me in. It's been real funny last few days but my advice is try multiple times, go back to menu, try again, etc.

    Yeah, not many ppl will get the message about postponing.

    So how do we handle anyone who gets picked up today? Can someone log the transactions that happen so we can make sure the players get dropped again? otherwise we'll have issues, since the transaction history doesn;t go back farther than ten or twenty transactions!
