Madden 19 PS4 League
 

Leave your PSN user and desired team if you wish to play. We will be most likely drafting our own teams.

We'll come up with sliders/rules together as a league.

These are some of the things I'm thinking:

All-Pro setting for year 1.

Normal sliders. If we want to tinker with sliders, it will be during the preseason and will NOT be changed during the regular season.

Trade deadline: Yes but there are exceptions. If you lose a key position player (such as a star qb) or are completely injury depleted at a certain position then trading after the deadline is permissible.

No firesale with draft picks. If you spend a 2020 first round pick, you CANNOT trade a 2021 first. Since we're having a 12 month season cap is going to be hard to manage if we keep trading picks.

Agree/disagree? Any suggestions?

I got a better idea.

No trades. For anyone.

Play the hand your dealt.

We're trying to encourage people to play.

Not discourage.

True, true.

We should grab our first slider set from Operation Sports.

And set game speed to slow.

Don't think I'll be in this year. I can't see myself wanting to dedicate time to playing this game every other day for an hour.

We can make quarters shorter if necessary.

I know not everyone has time to grind out an hour + for a game of Madden.

We'd like you in, bud.

Maybe we could have longer advances.

Meh. Maybe I'll be more into it once the actual football season has started, but this first day of playing has been a punch in the gut. So disappointed in the gameplay. Damn shame because it looks so ****ing good.

1. Always takes time to learn a new game.

2. We'll get a patch or to.

I'm in favor of letting everyone get acclimated for a few weeks, get a patch or two applied and then start.

Hope so. I'm pissed I spent 60 bucks on this game.

Sell it on ebay. Or did you buy it digital?

I haven't actually bought it yet. I just paid $15 for Origin Premier.

I'll just wait it out until it's patched. Just too bad the shot that needs bbnpatched this year directly effects pretty much everything on offense instead of some cheese they left in.

Add me in. I haven't played at all yet, but I plan on this weekend playing quite a bit to get up to speed. My Madden break was a full 6 days, Woooo.

Welp, we shouldn't allow trades on All Pro this year. Just traded Conley and West on expiring contracts for a top 10 pick. Turned around and replaced them with Damien Williams and Eli Roger's, both of whom were 1 point OVR below the traded players.

I'm in. Should get the game tomorrow or Wednesday.

Priestkc31...And I'll be the Chiefs!

Just got to my first free agency. ****ing Redskins had enormous bids on all 3 of the best defensive players. Hat tip to EA for making their football sim realistic.

I don't have a problem with trades on all-pro IF they are approved by members of the league.

For example: no trading for a player that is older and 90+ overall for scrub players.

Awful idea. Just slows everything down and opens the door for arguments and abuse.

It's either that or no trades at all. AI is too ****ed.

Trading on All-Madden is fine. It shouldn't be too easy.

So what's the alternative?

DOn't think that will matter much.

It didn't in 18.

Leave it on All Madden.

If you can pull off a trade on All Madden it's fair game.

Tip toeing around rules for trading and posting to ask if something is fair, then submitting it only to have the CPU reject is just an awful idea. It slows everything down and makes it annoying.

Well, thought it was established that we were doing All Pro for year 1?

I will say this though: there needs to be rules for free agency and undrafted free agents.

It's too easy for the person advancing to get the last bid in/sign UDFAs right after advance. :D

If this is the case trades will need to be approved ahead of time.

You traded away 3 scrubs for a 94+ rated lineman on a team headed to the playoffs iirc on All-Madden difficulty.

That's not happening this season.

Trades are going to be fair for everyone.

And to do All-Madden we would have to switch from All-Pro to All-Madden to All-Pro to All-Madden so people could execute trades. That would really slow things down.

Anyone could have done that. That's the very definition of fair.

That trade had almost zero impact on the league anyway, and it was the only one of it's kind. Outlier.

If the league agrees with you then we'll do it.

If not, we won't.

I don't think it's fair or realistic. My vote is no.

What a pain in the ass.

No one wants to wait for a reply to a thread to do something in game.

Why don't we just let everyone have a say and then go from there?

Trades need league approval :) Too much cheesing to build those 99s

I’d like to, but at this point I’m just happy to have time to play the game on my own time, let alone others.
