Season 2, you jolly assholes. In Season 1, the J-E-T-S won the Super Bowl, Geno Smith was the MVP, and Rex Ryan is still gainfully employed.

Now that goons got shithoused by the Jets in the playoffs, time for a season to get Rex fired!


League Info provided via PSN message to Dubious, Provide your PSN for an invite.

Season 1 fun times:

"Threw Controller. Broke Right Stick. Have Fun."
"loving CPU games!!!! *3 sim losses eliminate a playoff team*
JFF is 99 OVR after one season.
4 teams ditch their lovely cities, half of the NFC North moves to London, bickers over Wembley room.
Geno loving Smith is the Super Bowl MVP.

Da Rules

* We will be playing on All Pro Difficulty.
* Quarters will be 6 minutes with accelerated clock.
* Everyone must be an owner. You can choose an existing owner, or create McFart FuckHell for all I care.
* Please try to limit cheese play. We can discuss it on a case by case basis, but lets not let it come to that. Let's be good sportsmen in here. Includes, but not limited to (going for it on 4th downs deep in your own field, nano blitzes, questionable lineups, ie speed WRs as TE, abusing no huddle. If you have to think that a play you're using may be cheap or laughed at in the real NFL, you should probably not run it.) Running up the score aggressively on users is frowned upon.
* Once the season begins you are stuck with your team until the next pre-season. No jumping teams mid-season.
* Pubbies can only join this league if an existing member will vouch for them and risk their place in the league. While we have had some pretty good pubbies in the league, we've had a few utter shitheads and we'd rather just keep them out.
* No position changing your Franchise QB into a punter to cheap out on contracts. This may not be a possibility but with unlimited position changes it may actually be. We wont know until it launches.

CPU Games
Get them in, get the W. I don't care if you need to restart to get the W, but please don't restart just to pad stats/avoid injuries. If you blow them out, that's fine, but let's not restart 8 times to get your QB 900 yards. that happens once we hit Season 3 or 4 anyway as people have fun to stay interested. Jake Locker, 12 TD champ

Trades
Trades are a difficult beast to manage. There was a lot of bad vibes over CPU trades last year from nearly the entire league due to 90% of the league abusing it in hilarious fashion. With the introduction of completely randomized draft classes, draft pick hoarding won't be as broken as in previous generations, so there should be less incentive to abuse trades.

For Offseason only I have enabled CPU trading for the sole reason that alot of teams don't have dick for spending money because EA felt it good to nerf cash generation. There are a couple caveats to this:

1. NO dumping old vets for 1st rounders. This doesn't happen in the NFL, and we're not bringing back my memories of that loving Herschel Walker trade.
2. NO signing guys off the FA pool after the season starts and flipping for picks. This also doesn't happen in the NFL.
3. Be reasonable - I don't want to see someone end up with 6 of the top 40 picks.
4. If you go after a pretty decent player from the CPU, it's going to cost you pretty much your entire draft for two years. Be smart if you need to make an improvement.

I absolutely will remove people who abuse this privilege; that said, with this group of guys, I don't expect there to be any problems. I enabled it to help a few teams that can't do anything with FA. Also remember, when you trade guys who have signing bonuses, it can seriously gently caress with your salary cap as you eat the full amount of any remaining bonus against your cap that year.


Team Priority
All open teams are fair game. We've had people rage quit and burn out, and all inactives are now purged. Plenty of open teams, some really good. Come play internet football with goons and draft busts every offseason with us.

If there are disputes, please work these out amongst each other. If you are not returning to a team, please post. With 32 teams, everyone should get a team that can play to their preference, and it's never guaranteed everyone will play beyond a season so some teams can and do open back up.


Schedule:
The league will advance every 2-3 days, or when all User Games are in. If all games are in before that advance period we may advance, but to start off we'll go with 3 days. Please let Dubious know after 24 hours if you can't get a hold of your opponent and we will work from there. If everyone is done before hand, we will advance early. If you are the last person we are waiting on then you have 24 hours. So if everyone is done in 12 hours except for 1 person then he has 1 day after that to finish up their week or the league will advance. If you are playing the CPU then we expect your game to be done within 48 hours unless you mention it here.

You forgot to mention that Mike Pettine won coach of the year, made it to the AFC Championship game and was subsequently fired.

Browns revamped defense shut down the CPU Ravens. My new LE and DT was in the backfield all game. Feeling pretty good about how my total defensive rebuild turned out.

That RE you got is a monster edge rushing 4-3 guy. 84 speed 84 finesse move. 84 persuit.

The computer drafted you two 80 OVR rookies and that 77 OVR TE is no slouch either.

You might want to cut Rich Rodgers for a run blocking TE. You have two good rookie pass catchers and a 3rd who can't run block and is a mediocre receiver.

E: looking through again Jets and Cowboys probably had the worst drafts.

Jordan Matthews is real good, and Shady is an amazing runner. Old man Vick runs in 3 in the red zone easily when no one can get open.

We wondered why you were taking so long to draft after the 4th round.

Also in my preseason game Big Ben looked like poo poo. Like throwing 10 yards over open Recievers levels of bad. He regressed a bit but I didn't think it would be that bad. Everyone knows Bell is getting the ball so my offense might be really bad this season.

:hfive: old QB buddy. My QB play will be either ok, or absolute hilarity this season with Vick's accuracy.

My first Madden Moment of the season was In my game yesterday. I sent Matthews on a 20 yard dig route, and he was wide open by about 8 yards, so i rifled a bullet his way, and it was picked off...by my TE who made a superman 6 foot vertical to snag it about 5 yards off the LOS....and fumbled it away on his landing. :wtc:

I am pretty happy with my offseason. Despite dumping giant cash trucks on Cam's door I think I shored up all of of my team in a pretty smart way. My rookie LT is already miles better than last year, my line should be mostly average. I have the replacements for DeAngelo and J Stew. My free agent safety changes my back end defense completely, and my DT free agent signing should make my 5-2 defense completely terrifying with Greg Hardy, Charles Johnson, Kawaan Short, Star Lotuleileu, and Ahytuh Rubin on the line with Thomas Davis and Luke Kuechly as linebackers.

My receiving corps is mediocre, but the biggest difference is that I have some speed now. Seriously, the default Carolina WR corps is molasses slow. Picked up lots of depth to get me to 53 man roster, though its still a little tinkering that needs to happen and I already know what needs to be drafted next year. I seriously am really excited to play my first game against the Desperados.

Edit: I really wanted to splurge for Dareus, but Cam said you better pay me.

Nah their o-line is decent. CPU went all in to get Nate Solder so they have two very good left tackles. Their guards are weak, but I am gonna guess the back lt gets moved to a guard spot.

But yeah when i look at it, they are really not built to defend against pass rush up the middle, so this might be hilarious when i play them. Either way, they dont have the worst line in the division, but thats not saying much lol nfc south.
