Sorry I played the game!!! I don't think anybody will ever signup as the Bengals, though.

Cool mate, but please everyone don't play any franchise games till everyone is signed up. Just in case someone wants to pick the team you are playing against. We will start playing franchise games next week with the regular season. My bad for not saying anything earlier. Cheers.

Said it last post, but I am very sorry. Didn't even think about that. I just didn't want to be the guy people are waiting on!

That's cool mate, it was my bad for not being clear. I think you might be right about the cats, I don't see people fighting to be a Bengal lol. Good luck for the season mate

Thanks, brotha! Hope it's a good season! Browns are definitely a fun challenge.

20 community members and 16 league participants thus far. How many more will join till the season starts Sunday.

my Tapatalk is tough as nails

Alright, I joined both the community and the online franchise.

Can't believe nobody had chosen the Pack yet. Time to Lambeau leap my way to the Superbowl baby!

Lol, welcome mate

I know you said the league will start this weekend, but if the other team you're facing in week 1 is a human opponent as well, there would be no problem with playing the game early would there?

No, not at all. If your opponent is human go ahead and play. If it's the CPU wait till Sunday in case anyone else joins. Cheers

the weekend is coming, and so is the first week of netleague. Who's excited about this? I know I am, I'm stoked so many people joined, this is going to be a hell of a fun season GO HAWKS!!!!!!!!

BTW Commish, my first match I clicked the "Invite A User to Play" which bumped the TS count. I am scheduled to take on Mobock, so hopefully this will not show up as an attempt to cheat. Just a stupid mistake on my part. The game never started as I cancelled. Anyway, if anyone is to blame, it's me.

No problems mate. I know you're not a cheater, and I am not a nazi either. We are all in this to have fun and your explanation makes perfect sense. Good luck for the match.

I think the same thing may have happened with me. I pressed start to see what "Invite a User to Play" was. However, I backed out after it took me to the team select screen. I'm not sure if it shows up as an attempted game, but nevertheless this is what happened. I'm scheduled to play a human in week one anyway, so it really doesn't matter at all.

Thanks gents. We ended up with 3 TS, the network connectivity was shaky for some reason and we dropped in the beginning of our first attempt. But we got our game in. Do you have to be friends to invite each other to play? Since I am doing two of these things I guess I will know soon enough.

Yes o think you have to be friends, so each week would be wise to find out who you are playing, click on their profile and send a friend request.

I play with the Seahawks in my Franchise Mode. Lynch is a beast. I need to figure out how to adjust my d-line because I knew you were pounding him and couldn't stop him.

The true question is how to stop Gallery and Moffit. I always seem to find a hole opened by either of those two

I'm sorry I forgot to come on here and post that I had signed up and took the 'Aints. Just had a great matchup with nategreat, almost as epic as that game was in real life!

Do you all have headsets? I broke mine (unrelated to video game anger, I promise! haha) but I'm getting a new one this weekend. It'll be fun to play the games but talk about the one that really matters on sunday!

On a side note, does anyone play that "Ultimate Team" mode? I just played a guy that had 50% seahawks players, but had Big Ben, Hines Ward, and Polomalu. Seeing them in seahawks unis, ...well it just wasn't right I tell ya

Anywho, cheers! Saints are rollin this year!

I have the Ultimate Team mode, but not using it. I bought it not knowing what it was all about. Not an experienced Madden player, so probably just gave EA Sports a few coins I could have kept. I have the Buccaneers, so we will matchup twice. I have head sets, but only have used them once.

Actually I encourage headsets during league games. I would have used then tonight but I left them upstairs and then was too late. I will use them next time we play though:)

Slightly off-topic. Just got this console late July. Played a little 2011 (not much), Tiger and now 2012. I have had my console reboot while playing Madden but never Tiger. Just happened today mid-game in 2012. Is this something that happens on Madden or is my console defective? I have it with a external cooling fan and in the open, plus I only had it on for about 10 minutes before I started the game.

If this is going to continue, I may be dropping out of the league. I would imagine folks will be getting pissed as I would if all their efforts to rack up points is wasted with a system failure.

Humm sounds like a network problem from Madden. Give then a few weeks and they will get better. When you play online and network busts the console will either freeze or reboot. Congrats on your league win

Thanks for the info. DericLee and I were in a H2H and he was kicking my butt pretty good, then the system rebooted after I finally made a play, threatening to get stopped and kick a field goal (hee hee, I suck). He probably figured I conveniently pulled the power cord. I hate flaky stuff, this better not become a theme.

It has happened before. I don't think it will happen often but might happen again, normally when the server is over crowded.

EA kicked me off the server during our 1st game, took me forever to log back in, ended up having to reboot my xbox altogether to get a good shot at it. I'm an Xbox newb as well, never had connectivity problems with my PS3. You'd figure for a network you have to pay to be a member of, there woudnt be so many problems.

And I discredit your statement that you're not very good... either that or i'm horrible.

I got lucky breaks early, toward the end you had me figured out. I just push buttons frantically and hope for the best.

I noticed your team had Houshmanzadeh instead of Calvin Johnson and some other ex-Seahawks (Craig Terrill, Julius Jones?) besides the Burlesons, Hellers and others who went there through trades/Free Agency. Wasn't sure if I had a glitch on my end or not.

Trades between owners are allowed doc. You just can't trade with the CPU

I wanted to make my team as Seahawky as possible.... dunno about Charlie Frye as QB though

Hmm anyone wanna trade for Donald Driver and Ryan Grant?

Will try getting back in after awhile. For now, retiring from the community as well.

Anyone what LeSean McCoy?

Ill take a look at your roster and send you an offer.

OK boys I waited a little longer on week 1 but I will advance the league to week 2 this evening. If you haven't played your game it will be simmed when I advance it. Cheers!!!! Great 1st week guys

my Tapatalk is tough as nails

Well guys, I think I'm going to be dropping out of the league as well. It's been the good ride. That last game though was absolutely horrendous. Good luck to everyone.

Sad to see you leave mate

Week 2 is underway:)

my Tapatalk is tough as nails

Hey guys, sorry I missed week 1, been busy and honestly forgot.

I just played this week and will do my best to be present for the remainder of the season.

Pulled out a close one against the Dolphins... shouldn't have been as close... but with a punter at field goal kicker... yeah that sucks.

On the bright side Arian Foster went off for me... and Andre Johnson scored the game winning TD! Also had my FIRST EVER blocked field goal on Madden! Was pretty cool!

Good luck to everyone this week, look forward to playing my .NET brothers soon!

Cool man don't sweat it. Nice to have you around now:)

my Tapatalk is tough as nails

Any teams open? I'm willing to take over an existing team, I've given up on offline franchise, it's broken, so I'd like to get something out of my purchase.

Sure thing mate. I'm away from home so I won't be able to send you an invite till Wednesday. However, if you wish, there are instructions at the start of this thread about how to join by yourself too. Pm me your gamertag. Welcome to the league and good luck for the season:)

my Tapatalk is tough as nails

Atheous (I think those is the right gamertag) I don't know what happened. I got booted and cannot log back into Madden online:(

you were winning so tell me what you want to do. Play again? SIM? Let me know. Dr diags had said something about this but it had never happened to me before:(

Thanks for this great share. This site is a fantastic resource. Keep up the great work here at Sprint Connection! Many thanks.
