I would but I don't think the times will match up with my schedule.

Will you guys be playing the games or just simming through to see who's the best GM?

Also, we need to have a draft for team selection, as well. I would set the draft order FIRST... that way it's part of the thought process when selecting teams. Also would we be using current owners\coaches? And are we playing as the owner or the coach?

We would play, but if you can’t play a game it’s not a big deal. If it’s against CPU it will just simulate and if it’s against a person, your opponent would likely play the CPU version of your team.

Odds are we would advance the week every 48 hours. That’s the only way I could do it myself and gives a good chunk of time to get games in.

With Madden, the fantasy draft order will be completely randomized once everyone has their respective team. I’m not sure it’s possible to set the draft order manually. I would leave the owner/coach option open to whichever people want to choose for themselves.

If you guys need to buy the game or an online subscription, I would do that ASAP because once this thing gets to 8 people I think we’ll go forward with the draft. ThaVirus would make 6 and Kcrockaholic will make 7 whenever he sees all of this.

Can anyone NOT draft on Saturday night?

It's going to be fun to do an actual rookie draft with real people.

If you know how the Madden draft classes go, a lot of the best players are rated in the 5th or even 6th round.

There are going to be 5th rounders taken in the 1st round in human vs human drafts. LMAO

Yup… I have been playing in 30+ man online leagues for years…

Drafting is always one of the most fun aspects because humans are much better talent evaluators…

We had a draft one season where three MLBs projected in the 5th, 5th, and 6th all got drafted in the 1st round.

One was Superstar Dev, one quick and the other normal, but they were all studs.

Sooooo

Are you in? :)

I was in a big league about a year ago, and all I wanted to do was identify a QB prospect and go up and get him via trade in the draft.

I was the Chiefs. Went all the way up from the 20s to pick #1 and landed an 83 OVR superstar QB who ironically excelled outside the pocket with a strong arm. I gave up a lot, but it was well worth it.

The other guy ended up landing shitty picks with the ones I gave him.

Anyone know if custom playbooks can be used in online franchise?

No, I wouldn’t be able to. Just go ahead and count me out.

I am interested in seeing how this goes though so update this thread, if you guys like.

No one gives a **** about my offline franchise anymore so I'm definitely going to pivot to this.

Yes they can

You're all getting raped.

You want in?
