Loving the way the Jays are playing, hoping they can at least make it interesting in this last month. The extra wildcard spot has been wonderful since it's inclusion. Wondering if the Royals will hold on to win the Central as well. Been a crazy season.

There are even exploits in the normal game style from last year that people use all the time in that EA Arena thing that just shut down where you play for money

Should be down to 53, however I wanna grab two more guys in the FA draft so will trim my numbers down post-signing, pre-start.

I'll join back up and do it properly this time. Sorry for my rant yesterday Can't find where to cut players like in offline though, very weird. As it's annoying manually adding up your players while loading the rosters through

Lmfao, it's called a teaser because I took the odds and moved them each 6 points... thus the reason it also wasn't evens (aka 1.90) And yeah, I had the over tapped perfectly but I really liked the idea of a close game and Green Bay losing by less than a touchdown. Also, $50 is really not a lot to bet. You should be betting on average 5-10% of your bankroll at a time. I don't have to post my picks here but I thought others who also gamble would enjoy some banter and discussion. I'm 0-1. Bet against my picks if you'd like. Been making money all summer off baseball, and hockey last year was unreal to me. I couldn't care. I enjoy sports so much it's the only form of gambling I partake in, no cards etc.

Reading that definitely made me want to start a new RTTS

Yeah that's pretty much my dilemma, gonna just risk it and trade it in really quick if it really is truly that unbearable! None of these features are a full 100% breaking point for me, but it's clear what has happened here and it's disappointing

Alright everyone else have been invited.

I guess I'll trim my roster down as well then and check out if I got finagled any players lmao Edit - So I counted a way too many players and couldn't find the usual screen to just cut people, turns out the game already made my cuts, made some trade with Dallas (unless the draft pick was from in real life) and also I am now short 12 players because I was cutting people I didn't need too. Probably just gonna quit this and play my own personal game, sorry to be a poor sport but my team just got raped despite not losing anyone good I'm gonna need to sign a fuck ton of people. Also, looking around now is there a reason Luck is a 97 overall? With 50 confidence still and no prep obviously as I haven't touched a thing, however his confidence modified rating says 97. This shit is a trip. Did they just delete the screen where you can cut players or is it because you aren't supposed to start cutting players til the second week or some shit? I remember the cut players screen being present in my offline game. Both games have been owner mode as well. It's my own fault for miscounting and deleting like 11 guys lmao, but rather not play and mess up your guys' league.

I bet on the Packers +12 and Over 40.5. Really liked the over (which was originally set at 47 until I teased 6 points on both odds) By no means do I think they'll win, but it's not completely out of the cards. I think it will be a one score game for sure, should be a great opener. Looking forward to this kickoff game of the season, and more so of course Sunday's full slate of games. Predicting a 27-21 Seahawks win.

Going to try and grab at least one, probably most likely two players to upgrade 1st string depth.

Didn't notice anything wrong with my team but I guess I should take a look, eh? Do we really need a third try at this already? Haha fucking confusing Connected Franchise.

Haven't played the demo yet but my friend has told me they essentially took most dekes out, and it auto does a one touch deke if you try to toe drag, etc. Sad to see they've essentially stripped down the game to bare bones for this first version on the new systems. I didn't expect a complete port over from the last consoles as that's an unrealistic expectation (and had realized this with the early releases especially last year of Madden, NBA, Fifa) however I expected this extra time would give them a little bit more in terms of what this game was ultimately going to be. It's shitty because usually this is one of EA's best development teams in my opinion (I'm sure Fifa is great too but I don't follow the series as close so I couldn't gauge this) but they clearly aren't explaining something here. It's been clearly hidden for a while now with little to no updates about the game other than some screens of all the new arenas, great.... My whole group of friends, myself included always all buy this game yearly. Not many of my friends have the new consoles but it will be interesting to see if and how long this game lasts for us this year.

I was too young to have been up still when that game was on and in overtime, however I remember seeing that highlight the next morning on SportsCenter and losing it. Great play, and something you see too often now when guys walk around after not having been touched on a huge error by the defense. However this was just an outstanding catch and concentration.

I'm in no real rush, but it's up the consensus and you could always join up whenever. I don't think I bought a short subscription to Plus but I really don't remember, was tripped out when it wasn't working earlier but it looks like the network is getting updated.

Nice to see I have some competition in my division now, hopefully everyone from outside the board plays with the same class that we will show one another! Looking forward to getting this going, haven't played this game much in the last week but this should get my passion back up. Wanting to try and fill out some of the other divisions as we progress/move on to new years. I might go through them and post it up in here for future reference for everyone. On this note however, is anyone else having trouble accessing the online portion of the show? As far as I can tell my Playstation Plus is fine and yet it locks me out of the online franchise portion and won't sign in even though I'm online and signed in otherwise to PSN. Haven't been able to invite the last two names I got because of it.. Edit - False alarm, Playstation Entertainment Network is undergoing maitence. Will do this a bit later today.

Okay, just invited your buddy and now just waiting for the good to go from you guys. Actually jumped the gun a bit; I'm having a bit of trouble with my PS Plus for some reason only with MLB The Show, he'll be the last person waiting to be invited ASAP this afternoon...

I'm going to look through all my hard drives as well as my desktop PC today (on my macbook right now) and I'll send you what I do have. Though I'm not sure if I have any that aren't up there, hadn't been playing many Real World mods this iteration of WMMA.

Didn't catch any of the first week's games as I was moving into my new place but gonna order the full sports package for the NCAA and NFL this weekend and on. Pretty excited to veg into my couch for two days and just watch/bet on football all fall/winter.

All-Pro is way too easy, and on All-Madden you would have lost 27-0 or worse. The game is always broken with their default sliders out of the box. Sad.

Remind me to cut my roster down manually before we sim to Regular Season

Doubt anyone cares if I start posting American sports picks in here as well? Didn't think it warranted another topic but I can easily make one if it jumbles this up/bothers anyone... GB Packers +12.0 Over 40.5 2 Team Teasers, 1 bet * $50.00 - To Return: 91.65

No one exists by that name on PSN, everyone else has been added. Waiting for the bulk of joins then can set the remainder to CPU and start up.

Give me twenty mins to invite ppl for The Show league and I'll toss Madden in and edit my post with my move or pass. Never mind, internet was giving me trouble so doing it the other way around... Indy Picks C - Kyle Cook (Michigan St.) This means I can scoop him now right?

Hopefully this hasn't happened for any other teams, gonna join up after I finish eating!
