Warpath Madden league (360)
 

Just wondering who would be interested in doing an online Madden league for the 360?

re: Warpath Madden league (360)
 

my tag anme is mredskins. I am probably not getting MAdden but if I do I will play.

re: Warpath Madden league (360)
 

Is Madden 09 better on the 360 or PS3? Can PS3 owners play 360 owners? I'm guessing 360 has more install base and therefore it's easier to get an online game going?

re: Warpath Madden league (360)
 

i'm in my tag is iamlegend210: i'll take the Viking's

re: Warpath Madden league (360)
 

I'll play but I'm not sure if I'm gonna get it right away, we'll see how the finances work
BKSkins I'll take Houston Texans

re: Warpath Madden league (360)
 

kreider ben is the super creative screen name (space included) I'll take the Cardinals...

re: Warpath Madden league (360)
 

saden1, i'll take the Jags.

re: Warpath Madden league (360)
 

so eh... are the skins off limits?? Are we doing a fantasy draft? I'm in either way, but want to know the rules before i pick a team, unless that team is the skins (why do i feel like a douchebag for calling the skins on a skins board?)

re: Warpath Madden league (360)
 

Err. Im kinda curious too. I'd love to play. I still havent signed up for Xbox live, Ill do it later tonight and post my ID. Since someone took the Texans, Ill take the Browns. If we have a fantasy draft, Ill take the Lions!

re: Warpath Madden league (360)
 

Is the game itself going to have fantasy draft options? That's the only way you can really play a good season long tourney... they used to hold one at sharp shooters in manassas... it was pretty cool but guys kept losing interest (even though it was for good money) midway through the season and you had a lot of forfeits.

re: Warpath Madden league (360)
 

I'm not sure about any specifics, the intent here was to see if we have enough guys to get something going next week. Once we have the game and see what our options are we'll get it going.

re: Warpath Madden league (360)
 

Last time I change, but gonna go seahawks regardless!

My Madden ID is... Daseal

I think when we tried to do this in the past, we all bowed in deference to Matty and he took the skins... Not sure if that goes for this time as well or not...

wait for the first update....it should be fun.....

re: Warpath Madden league (360)
 

I'm in... my screen name is MashaDanki. I'll take the Saints, if no one has claimed them yet...

re: Warpath Madden league (360)
 

I'm cool with whatever... If we dont do a fantasy draft I guess I'll take the steelers. If we do, I'll take anyone but dallas, new york (giants or jets) eagles, denver, tampa, or ne.

re: Warpath Madden league (360)
 

If you can do a fantasy draft I'm definitely down with that. Does anyone know if that's going to be possible?

re: Warpath Madden league (360)
 

Just found my answer, looks like the answer is "sort of"

[QUOTE]IGN: Can we start our online league with a fantasy draft?

Ferwerda and Castorani: Yes, we created something this year called a profile draft. Essentially, on your machine, you'll pre-rank the entire list of NFL players and what round you'd like to draft them in. This is very similar to a fantasy football draft pre-rank system. Once your profile is set, the league will automatically run the draft and assign your players based on your preferences.

This is our first iteration of a draft, and we'll be looking to expand to a real-time experience in the future. However, this year, we decided it would be best to focus on the base experience and expand as we interact with our community and build features that everyone wants.[/QUOTE]

Lets do that! =p

re: Warpath Madden league (360)
 

Awesome. Let's set a tinmetable though... It always takes me a little while to set up my fantasy lists.

I figure we'll give everyone a week to buy the game and get signed up for the league. Then we'll give 3-5 days to set the draft profile, and we'll get started. Anyone know when the first roster updates are? Should we wait for that too?

if we're going to do a fantasy draft, that kind of negates the need for roster updates, doesn't it? Unless we're worried about new players being added...

re: Warpath Madden league (360)
 

I'm so excited. I'm going to start ranking my players tonight. Remember kickers go quick, so be sure and put them at the top of your rankings

lol yeah those backup QBs go quick too ;)

Do you have the game yet or are you picking it up at midnight?

re: Warpath Madden league (360)
 

I'll be at good old wal mart at midnight tonight... have to work at 6 am, so may pull an all nighter...

re: Warpath Madden league (360)
 

I'll get the league set up tonight.

re: Warpath Madden league (360)
 

Ok I have it set up, it's called The Warpath and the abbreviation is twp. Not sure if or how I can invite people in, maybe you just have to search for it and join up?

re: Warpath Madden league (360)
 

go to the setup page and theres a link to invite people from your friends page. i found it yesterday when i was messing around with it, but i don't remember exactly what it is... i'll look for your league, though...

re: Warpath Madden league (360)
 

found it it was easy. I submitted my draft forms. when we doin this thing?

re: Warpath Madden league (360)
 

Got mine in as well...

re: Warpath Madden league (360)
 

Just joined. When the's draft? Also I want to change my team to the Bears but I can't leave and then rejoin. I selected the Texans thinking that we weren't doing a fantasy draft.

re: Warpath Madden league (360)
 

I picked the steelers and regret it. Shouldve picked AZ or a team with a dome for weather. Wasn't really thinkin that one through.

re: Warpath Madden league (360)
 

We've got 4 in so far, I'm thinking we'll want to have at least 8

re: Warpath Madden league (360)
 

I sent you guys friends requests who weren't already on my list, so if you get one from SmashMode that's me.

re: Warpath Madden league (360)
 

Cmon people let's get crackin! I'm ready to draft!

re: Warpath Madden league (360)
 

I jumped in a couple of hours ago... and I'm ready to go!

re: Warpath Madden league (360)
