Good game, dude. You ran a kick back on me 105 frickin' yards, that's been my achilles heel all season. Looking forward to the offseason, improving my squad where we need improvement and getting the new season started.

[DYSI]

Congrats. Now it's time for me to trade all of my team. >_<

How many human teams are left? 6? 7? Should be fun trying to get everybody online all at once to do the draft.

[mystikz]

8, and it definitely went faster without the inactives, but I don't think we get to do an online draft

[Tits McGee]

I hope a few active guys decide to join in. I know we had one interested when the season was done. Good game Broncos.. you handed it to me big time. Steven Jackson was shut down on offense so I got served.

[Cactus Drags]

Did anyone upload any highlights? They extended the replay time with the second patch as well.

I have no idea how the offseason's going to work, especially free agency. I'll have a look around and see if any other leagues have any decent systems.

[Meacon Keaton]

I was going to upload some replays from the Super Bowl, but the majority of the highlights were from Tits' team, oddly enough. The few highlights that I did have were pretty dull. But that's my team. We're dull champions.

PS: Watching Kyle Orton celebrate with the Lombardi trophy was the weirdest frickin' thing I've ever seen on a video game.

[DYSI]

Hmm.. so are we aiming for a live draft or going to do an offline one?

[Meacon Keaton]

Oh, one more thing. Dragsy, would you like to trade me Cutler back for Orton now that he's a Super Bowl MVP?

[Cactus Drags]

Live draft I imagine is going to be impossible, and given the lack of scouting in online franchise, I imagine pretty dull and entirely luck-based.

[Cactus Drags]

Just looking at the draft board stuff now, you can see every rookie's overall score and individual attributes. Yawn. Amusingly however, there's a halfback by the name of Leron James.

Where no retirements occurred, the screen reads "NO RETIRMENTS AVAILABLE." Way to spellcheck your product, Tiburon.

There's no free agent news because CPU teams don't release players, and due to teh lack of contracts, players stick with their teams until they get traded, released or they retire. Please don't make any free agent moves jsut yet, I think we'll have to come up with some form of waiver system or something, I'll work on it tomorrow. Trades are fine.

I'm gonna play Ultimate Team for a bit.

[Meacon Keaton]

Can I have Brett Favre when he un-retires this time?

And I remember reading that the rookies have all their stats available from the get-go. Makes it rather lame. Is there anyway we can do the draft on here and you do it manually? Or is that too much work, and we should just find a way to all get on at once?

[Cactus Drags]

I guess the best way would be to set a date and time, everyone pre-rank their players, and anyone who can't make it will have to autodraft.

[mystikz]

oh nice, saves me the trouble of firing Brunell and Carney

[Tits McGee]

So who wants to make that WR trade now?

[Kyle_]

Make sure everyone cuts their roster down to 46 players, otherwise the CPU will do it to make room for rookies. Also you pretty much have to do an live draft unless you have a full league

[Meacon Keaton]

I read somewhere that one way a league did free agency was that you had to cut one player in each tier of 90-99, 80-89, 70-79, etc. And they had like a waiver draft on who you picked up in the free agency. I don't know how everyone feels about that.

[Kyle_]

That's what other leagues do but idk if that's really fair since it's a majority of CPU teams

[Meacon Keaton]

Well, I meant we just do the releasing amongst the human-controlled teams.

[Cactus Drags]

Why does not ahving a full league mean the draft has to be live?

Also, if anyone wants to join in for season 2, let me know.
