Only sign up as the team's current active coach, do not create your own.

Rules:

* We will most likely be playing on All Pro Difficulty.
* Quarters will be 7 minutes with accelerated clock.
* Please try to limit cheese play. We can discuss it on a case by case basis, but lets not let it come to that.

Free Agency:
Free Agency will begin within a day of the game releases. The free agency procedure works like this:
Day 1: All teams rated 69 or below can pick up one free agent.
Day 2: All teams rated 79 or below can pick up one free agent, so teams rated 69 or below will now have two free agents.
Day 3: All teams rated 89 or below can pick up one free agent. 69s: three free agents, 79s: two free agents, 89s: one free agent.
Day 4: All teams rated 99 or below can pick up one free agent, same schedule as above except add one.

DO NOT PICK GO WILD WITH FREE AGENTS AS SOON AS YOU JOIN THE LEAGUE. Every year we have to put up with some jackass that picks up every good player. You will get kicked from the league if you do this.

Trades:
Please discuss all trades in this thread and not through private messages. That way other team owners can weigh in on the fairness of trades as well as offer counter trades as well.

Schedule:
The league will advance every THREE DAYS. Please let me know mid way through the week if you can't get a hold of your opponent and we will work from there.

Sign ups:

Please use the following template for signing up for a team:

Reserves:

After all teams have been taken, there will be a reserve pool for people that want in the league but there aren't enough teams. There are always a few people that drop out before the first week or two of play, so don't be afraid of signing up for a reserve spot. Please only sign up to be a reserve if all teams have been taken. The reserve list will be ordered by who posted first.

This. There's actually a thing where you can create an online franchise, but every person controls 1 player like superstar mode. I may actually run one of those if any of you are interested.

Was having a lot of fun in this league last year until my old Xbox red ringed, looking forward to more good times.

I'm really hoping this year's Madden is more like 10/12 (good defenses) and not 11 with its broken zones and awful defenses.

Yeah just go ahead and sign me up for the Browns. I will probably get this game the day it's out but won't really be able to do much until 9/1. I'm busy travelling and haven't had home internet for a while now because I will be moving at the end of the month.

God Miami is going to suck such a dick in this year's game. Oh well, I still might be able to knock off Menamino if I can get the damned computer to let me put a defensive assignment on his #4 WR!

You could have SA email you whenever you get a private message, then set the email up to your phone.

I will update the list tomorrow, looks like people have claimed the Colts, Cowboys and Titans since the last update though.

I'd be interested in joining if there is still space, I've never played in a league online before as nobody I know really bothers with the NFL in general. I'm across the water though so am just wondering what time you guys normally play your games at in case I'm committing myself to playing game at 3 in the morning or something ?

If time is flexible I'll take the Lions if that's cool ?

I'm afraid I just blue and gold myself.

Not sure if I am buying the game, but I love the league.

What I'll do is, if nobody else claims the Buffalo Bills by launch day, then I'll buy the game, and the MoorCat offense will return. Otherwise, any other loyal fan can have them.
