    Madden Roster Update Is Out -- League To Start Soon!

    Well, it took a bit, but yesterday EA released a roster update to Madden 09. This is the update we have all been waiting for and now that it is out, I can generate the league and we can get this brawl started!

    Now, a couple of things to point out. For those who have been around online leagues in the past, this may be old news, and for those new here, it should be something you pay attention to. In the past, once a league is created, ALL OWNERS MUST JOIN WITH THIER TEAM BEFORE A SCHEDULE CAN BE GENERATED. I would ask that once I set up the league that everyone join as soon as they possibly can, so we can start the season. Its going to be a long season, almost 27 games for each player, and we have waited a while for this update to arrive, so everyone is pretty anxious to get going I'm sure. So PLEASE, once I send out the information, join the league as soon as possible. Much thanks in advance from myself as I'm sure the rest of your fellow gamers.

    That being said, hopefully we will have a schedule generated within a week and we can get to playing. Yes, we need to be respectful of everyone's schedule, and that they may not join as soon as I create the league, as they may have work schedules and other things going on in their lives where Madden is not the sole priority ... I know, like what your asking .... LOL ... Anyway, I think a week is a reasonable amount of time to expect that everyone will have joined, and the beat downs can begin :).

    Teams are now locked. You may no longer switch your team. The time has passed, you had plenty of time to do so, and received several notices that you were able to. Here is the final list of teams and gamertags that own them :

    The settings for the league will be as follows. Again, everyone had plenty of time to discuss and give their feedback as to how they wanted it.

    League Name (suggestions welcome)
    Abbreviation (suggestions welcome)
    Select Logo (Ill pick a random one that fits)
    Select Trophy (Ill pick a random one that fits)
    Select Team (My team goes here - Jets)
    Description (Based on what we name the league)
    Password (Ill make a unique password and send it to you)
    Max users (This currently stands at 28)
    Games (each team must play each other at least once during the season, so currently we are looking at a 27 game season)

    Max DNF% (set if you want to limit a % a player has of DNF %)
    Reputation (set if you want to limit a certain rep of players joining your league)
    Unique Rosters (this needs to be ON if trades are allowed)
    Enable Draft (We can actually have a draft, I'm thinking this is set to OFF)
    Trades (set to ON ... it can get more complicated, but we will keep it simple. Trades can exsist between 2 teams. More than that I need to get involved and its a little unclear higher then that. Simple seems best)
    Playoffs (Set to Yes)
    Quarter Length (5 Minutes)
    Game Skill Level (All Pro)
    Fatigue (Set To ON)
    Injuries (Set To ON)
    Random Weather (Set To ON)

    If anyone has a suggestion for a league name, I'm open to it. Send it to me immediately. Either that or Ill name it the first thing that comes to my mind when sitting in front of my 360 later. Be very afraid ... LOL ...

    I think it goes without saying, but maybe it doesn't, that if your going to back out and not play, NOW is the time to let me know please. I would appreciate any heads up if your considering not playing. Enough said on that.

    I should have more info for everyone after I create the league, so stay tuned later tonight or more then likely tomorrow for an update to all of this, and PLEASE, as soon as you get the league info, join as soon as you can. Its much appreciated.

    Peace

    EB
