I think it’s time we get this started. Here is my proposal:

I think we should make this an eight-player league – only one team may be chosen from each division. I will consider expanding the league to 16 user teams if there is enough interest. Once membership is set, I will draw names out of a hat to set a draft order to select teams. Although you will not be selecting a team with the current NFL roster makeup, some players may have a particular interest in a particular team (uniform, stadium, home-field weather conditions, etc.) and I don’t want to make team selection first-come first-serve.

We will begin the online franchise by conducting a fantasy draft where each owner can build their own team from the ground up according to their playing preferences. This will also create more parity in the league as each team should have roughly the same overall rating. We will agree upon a date and time when we will conduct the draft, hopefully within days of closing league membership. If you are concerned about your availability for participating in the draft, please note that you can draft from your computer as well as your PS3 in case you are not in front of your console come draft time. Also, if you will not be available to participate in the draft, you can set up a draft board online that can make your picks for you.

Who else is in?

1) Decatur
2) CE Tiger
3) tiger golfer1
4) oreeg
5) TheeGamecock
6) WarmBubble
7) Tmon225
8) PLAYBOI11

League membership is now closed.

Team draft order:

1) oreeg - New Orleans Saints
2) tiger golfer1 - Dallas Cowboys
3) PLAYBOI11 - Pittsburgh Steelers
4) TheeGamecock - New York Jets
5) Warm Bubble - Green Bay Packers
6) CE Tiger - San Diego Chargers
7) Decatur - Houston Texans
8) Tmon225 - Arizona Cardinals

Remember that you are drafting a team and not its current players. Fantasy draft order should be randomly picked by the computer.

Settings

I think quarter length should be longer than five minutes…I would prefer playing in the 7-8 minute range. I’m open for suggestions. I’m leaning towards setting the skill level to All-Madden, however, I will consider All-Pro if it is a deal-breaker. Sliders may be adjusted as needed. Regarding trades, I think it would be OK to allow CPU trades as well as user trades. Again, I’m open for suggestions. I don’t think I will set an accelerated clock and I really would like to turn off fight for the fumble too.

Rules

Cheasing will be very frowned upon. Excessive cheesing may also lead to eviction from the league. We could develop a rough set of guidelines that players should abide by.

Regarding substitutions, Substitions:

QB – only QBs may play the QB postion; if you would like to use a QB at another position – more power to you
HB - may sub to 4th/5th WR in a 4/5 WR set
FB – may sub to HB, or TE
TE - may play any slot WR position
WR - no subs to any other position; RB may sub as WR as described above
O-line - may play any O-line position
D-line - can play any D-line position; DE “tweeners” may be subbed to OLB
LB's - may play any LB position; outside LB “tweeners” may be subbed to DE
SS or FS – interchangeable, but no other subs
CB - no subs to any other position unless SS/FS vacancies due to injury
KR/PR – your choice

Other miscellaneous rules:

Going for it on 4th down – permissible if: a) team has one yard or less to go and is on the other side of the 50 yard line, b) team is down by more than 21 at any point in the second half, or c) team is down at any point in the fourth quarter.

Fake kicks/punts – same as above

Onside kicks – any time in fourth quarter

Disconnections - if the same person disconnects twice, the other person should continue versus the the CPU. If a Disconnect happens in the 2nd half then the person who was up can decide between a restart or have his opponent set to CPU. If the winning team is the reason for the disconnection then it should always be a restarted or if a disconnect happens in the first half of a game the game should be restarted. If neither person has the time on that day to play another game the game should be rescheduled if possible and if not the game will be simulated.

Thanks. I'm going to give this one a try first. Now that they've got server-based technology, it will be very interesteing to see how they will update this game through the course of the year.

After searching a previous thread on this same topic, I see that The Lou, TigerBait1127 and thibtigerfan also expressed interest in joining a league.

Any of you who want to join should do it quick. Only two spots left.

Glad to have you aboard PLAYBOI.

If you can give me a minute, I will go ahead and draw names for the team draft order. After everyone chooses their team, we will schedule a time to conduct the fantasy draft.

Membership is now closed.

We're ready to select teams. oreeg is up first.

Each player should let me know their availability for the fantasy draft. I will try to schedule it so most if not all of us will be able to participate in it.

I would like to schedule it for an evening early next week in order to give everyone some time to scout/fill up their draft board. Don't you work at night?

I think next Wednesday would be a good night to tentatively schedule the draft. It will give everyone enough time to prepare for the draft and should not conflict with anyone's Labor Day plans.

Let's say draft time will be 7pm, Wed., 9/9/09. (tentative)
