EWBFL 16 PS4 League

I guess I'm done too. I wish the game did a better job of telling you about your cap situation. I've made a few offers, there's one more I want to make and it keeps telling me I don't have the cap. I won't say who for fear of someone robbing me >_> Basically, I'm trying to offer 15m over 3 years, which would equate to a 5m cap hit per year (as far as I'm aware, the bonus comes out of your funds and has no bearing on cap, yes?). But it won't let me. I've got 32.7m space, and 4.72m in the rookie reserve, which I assume comes out of the base (as in the 32.7 figure isn't the remainder, it's what I start with). That leaves 27.98m. My tabled offers total 22.64m for next year - if my previous assumption about cap hit is correct at least. So I should have 5.34m to play with for the coming season, right? I won't set myself to ready in the hopes that someone can help me figure this out in the next few hours, but I don't want to drag the process out unnecessarily, so feel free to roll tomorrow night if everyone else is done. 

 

I've just noticed after typing all that out that the FA menu says I have 3.13m free. I have no idea how it got this number, I don't have any penalties coking up or anything.

Yeah the cap figures and what not are always screwy in Madden, they can't seem to ever get it right really.

 

Just waiting on @Asuka's Gonna Kill You and @billyzzz80 to do some FA bidding and we'll be good to move onto Day 2 of FA.

Ugh, I'll just have to lowball the dude then. Consider me ready. Also, Stewart is on the block, looking for picks. 

Sorted, offloaded Ginn on Buffalo for a late pick and freed enough to make my last offer. I'm good to go. 

 

Any idea when we'll be drafting? 

[billyzzz80]

I'm set.

I would prefer sometime during next week (25-29) if you guys can make it. After 3 PM EST usually works for me but if you guys need to go later then that's fine too, all else fails we can try for that Sunday.

I'll have to check and see if I still have picks left for this draft and if so, they'll be up for grabs.  I'll update this post with positions 'o need.

Midget sounds like the anti-Belichick. Trades away all draft picks and doesn't win.  

[Cactus Drags]

8pm GMT suits me fine. Don't think I have anything on in the evenings next week. 

[Liam]

Is the plan that we all draft in the space of a specific time period?

[DYSI]

Yeah it's a live draft so we try to get as many people together as possible.

I will go to my deathbed lamenting that I could only give one like to this.

Leaving that there in case anyone wanted to know my reasoning.  Schedules be crazy!

Well, that sucked balls. I'm sure I'm doing this wrong >_>

[Liam]

Actually, just still sat in bidding wars for the players I want. Having had a look at my team, I've cancelled some of my bids and moved them to other people.

Ready to advance

Likewise.

If you want the Falcons' first-round pick, these are the positions I want some talent in:

Everybody
MLB
DT
WR
Offensive Line

[Cactus Drags]

Hm, if I get Jake Long, I could probably send Michael Oher your way. 

 

I have written up my draft board, adjusted my signings and I'm good to advance. Is there another week of scouting left? I may have forgotten to scout the defensive line >_>

[thatshortguy]

The Packers are willing to trade Clay Matthews my way for the 8th pick. 91 OVR. The Ravens are willing to trade Mosley, who's 91 OVR and $820k. Seahawks offering Wagner who's 94 OVR. Sooo, the bar's kinda high here.  If I land one of the MLBs I'm targeting, though, the pick goes to the highest non-QB offer.
