    I have it on good authority that Madden 09 is a 6.5 or 7 and they are a lot more credible than XPlay. :shifty:

    BTW the PS3 league is down to four now which speaks volumes for the PS3 doesn't it :pity:

    Hopefully Motion or someone else will join.

    Uh oh maybe we should rethink this. Gamespot has listed the online dynasty as one of 09's biggest failures. Here is what they had to say:

    X-play is pretty hard on sports games. They gave MLB 08 a 3/5 when it's clearly a 5/5 (RTTS is great, franchise is very deep, online is seemless, and gameplay is very realistic). MLB is the only game that comes close to MVP 05 (best baseball game ever. Why did EA cancel it?)

    Hopefully X-play is spot on... Maybe not, but hopefully.

    2K bought the MLB rights and that was the end of that.

    Why SCEA is allowed to make a licensed game I don't know.

    EA typically does this when they add a new MAJOR feature. They throw the basic premise out there firstly to see if the damn thing works. Secondly, why code all these features into the game before you've even heard the backlash from the customer.

    They'll throw this horse blanket out there. Let us Beech and Moan for a year or so then take our suggestions and make it into a finished product in '10. I look at this online league feature this year as more of a hybrid Beta/Full Version.

    However, if there is an online league. Just get at me.

    They brought Dynasty to NCAA, there is nor reason Madden couldn't have franchise.

    Probably a different development team that does NCAA than does Madden. And as Madden goes, they already had a laundry list of things to fix from 08. I'm sure they'll get the Online League thing worked out next year.

    I'm thinking this is just the Online Dynasty mode. The regular Dynasty mode should still be intact correct? I don't need to Fantasy draft head-to-head in a league anyway. I play with the teams already created because 9 times out of 10 thats what you are gonna have when you play online or at someones house.

    I guess there is only one way to know if the online league is any good and that is to try it. Although right now it looks pointless. :pity:

    BTW this is why I rent games. :lol:

    The only problem is that there will only be like 4 players in the PS3 league. However I know Stitches knows some people on other boards and maybe he can hook us up in that area. :up:

    I don't get sports games for online play, NCAA 09 is the one I have done online most, and even then most games have been against a CPU.

    A couple (maybe 4 max) from one of my NCAA dynasties may be interested in joining. (A couple are surprisingly big dolphins fans too)

    Yeah well if 4 is added to 4 that would be 8 which would be better than 4. However I'm down with what we have on here but didn't Motion and Dol-Fan Dupree say they would do a Madden league in your NCAA thread?

    Ah sorry Phinishline now we have 5 on here. :up:

    List should be updated correctly...

    I'm going to give it a day or two before I start the 360 league so people can get use to the game and what not...

    I got a guy from my other league who wants the raiders. I am going to be laying down some rules on team selection once I check out the game tomorrow. Hopefully we can start this weekend.

    Well with him that would be 9 (with Dol-Fan Dupree I'm not sure on) and this weekend sounds great as I will get the game Thursday or Friday and I can practice.

    Also if I can't get the Fins then I would like the Colts imo. :up:

    Although I'll go with about anyone not in the AFC East besides the Fins.

    I don't think the colts will be allowed, just like the patriots won't be. I want teams to be relatively even.
