Really lookin' forward to grabbing this sometime this month when I haven't spent my extra cash on Madden/NHL. Been sick of Tiger for years, liked the sim style it went recently but pretty much done with that series. This looked hype from all the videos I've seen. Keep the thoughts and reviews coming in the mean time!

Okay I'll get on inviting everyone in about an hour or so. We're only playing 40 games each.

I just started one with pretty basic settings and 30 teams, if theres issues we can always reset. I invited everyone to their teams who posted their gamertag, just need yours pepsi (is it pepsitwist?) I took the Tigers.

We have tons of options to choose from... Here is what I'm stuck on, do we want to just play one another and then have playoffs or do we want to include CPU teams as well? It gives us the option for both, as well as playing normal divisonal schedules or just playing round robin against one another a certain amount of times then having playoffs? Other than that, figure we'll have a fully open schedule so people can play their games as they please. Lastly, the amount of games if we choose divisional I'm stuck on 29 or 40, there is no in between. Round robin is obvious how we divide it if we choose that, just have to figure how many times we want to face each team to decide the amount of games. If we don't do CPU teams as well we can cap the league at a certain number of teams, by my count we have 7 now.

Winner. - Did my draft last night, got a B- grade. Scooped Eddie Lacy, Drew Brees, Keenan Allen. Kinda scarce but got tons of depth late (Torrey Smith, Moreno, Ben Tate). Can't wait for tomorrow night! Got Percy Harvin so hoping he stays glued together this season.

I'll set it up now if you don't care?

I'd love to be able to join the new league and look at my team with that roster before I decide? If that's totally unacceptable I'll just pass first round but it's up to you guys...

Laughed out loud when I heard this today.

Lol this is sorta a clusterfuck but I'll just wait for the next league to start to join I guess then! Gonna do my fantasy football draft and check back in a few hours.

Any predictions for the opening game of the season? I'm torn right now, gotta like the Seahawks to win but perhaps a closer game then some think... My book is giving them 6 points today, pretty good but I'm gonna have to take a better look later tonight and tomorrow before I make my decision. Looking forward to the first week of the season pretty badly, should be fun to sit in front of my tv again for hours every sunday

Can I still technically get in this even though most people are done for? Should we perhaps have another go? Would love to put $4 american dollars on something and see how far I can get it... been saving what other money I do have in my account for the NFL regular season.

I'll start this up today and start inviting people who post their gamertag in here. I would have picked the Jays if you hadn't before me Eddie but I can easily pick one of the other teams.

Still haven't joined up but I'll get to that now before class or later tonight before/after my fantasy football draft. Are there any house rules, etc? I should know of that you guys use... obviously sim style play is my way so won't have to worry about usual online crap. Do we have a protocall in case of disconnects or whatever has happened in the past in leagues I've tried?

Stoked for this, I'll accept the invite later tonight when i'm on PS4

I'm going to try out a set of sliders I found on OS this week and I would highly suggest you guys all do the same. The game on All-Madden is broken against the CPU, and way too easy on All-Pro. Sliders will fix this to make one level at least fair and play able. I can never play football games without sliders, it sucks Down to start this whenever, rosters are not a huge deal... but we need to get the gameplay sorted. How long are we going to do the quarters? I'm a stickler for realistic stats so I like to use 12-15 with a big clock run off but I'm not gonna bitch as I've been playing MUT short games and enjoying it enough still.

So, about that game that comes out next Tuesday.... I'm exicted for it at least pre ordered the ultimate edition for the extra $40 worth of cards for HUT that you get usually on a weekly basis, at least in previous versions. Big boost for your team overall. Can't wait to play HUT and start a season with the Leafs as usual.

How many people do we have to at least try this out?

Anyone been playing Ultimate Team yet? Also add me on PS4, bluntsnpurp. Down to play online against anyone, even just head-to-head non MUT

Have a free in play bet at Bet365 if I bet before the man city/liverpool game, so probably going to stake something before the match Monday.

Looking forward to scooping this next tuesday, didn't even realize pre-order and digital was a thing but i've been out of touch a bit. Only used to have the EA Season Pass thing to get all the games early but that's old

On the topic of going to games, trying to make it to either Buffalo or Detroit (preferably) for a game this season as both borders are close by. Have watched the Bills play at the Rogers Centre in Toronto the last two seasons but its not the same by any margin. Bus trips are plentiful in my area so gonna try and find a good one and get loaded with some friends and watch some pigskin come fall.

This season is really interesting, gonna be a great playoff push in September. Shocked that KC and LA overtook their divisions, but not with how they've been playing obviously. Jays have just tanked. Seattle is playing great baseball. Miami is actually closer to the playoffs then Cincy (who have been decimated with injuries.) Really liking the mlb.tv package I got in late May or whenever, been betting a lot daily as well. Heading into the city to see the Jays take on Boston next week.

Stoked to get this going on PS4 whenever it releases this month. Will give me something to play to tide myself over before NHL. Though if it's out around Madden time might be tough to find time to play.

I could actually play now, I was without internet last month and will be online from now on so no stressers there. I'd be able to set it up if we had enough people and the original organizer isn't interested or bothered to do it. Been playing a lot of my Jays franchise, almost done April now. 15-7. Batting is at All-Star ++ and usually goes up and down from + levels depending on W/L. As for pitching, I've stuck onto the Hall of Fame level for the last few weeks in game. Throwing the ball really well with almost all of my starters, the bullpen has been a bit rougher. Traded two prospects to get a RP from the rockies farm team who was eating up time with a fat contract (Betancourt, 3.2 mill, roughly 78 overall) Just tried my first game online and though the lag didn't affect me or the game it was a bit weird watching the ball travel a few times, having been an offline only player for years now. Had baserunners verge way off the lane too and sketch me out a few times resulting in two seperate outs on the basepaths but I was up 4-0 and throwing a no hitter going into the 6th and got some weird game disconnect error with PS4. Don't know if it was my disc or just the usual glitch bs that happens online in sports games....

Not a team that I play with much but to avoid taking a perenial powerhouse like NE or SEA, I will officially stake claim to the Colts.
