I would but I tossed Madden onto Goozex while it was still worth something. Also, I'm not very good at it.

Nor am I, thus the league quote : "A league for gentlemen, scholars, newbs and amateurs of Madden"



I am absolutely horrible, but it would be a fun league of the best of the worst.

You're right, it would. Also because I imagine nobody would take it that seriously.

If we can get a few more people interested, I'll pick madden back up.

I assume we're talking about the 360 version? I can do 360 or ps3.

360 for sure, added that info in the title. Thanks for the headsup.

JustinSane07

I'm in.

JustinSane07 on your XBL.

ToneLoc777

I'd be down for this. Gamertag is same as Forum name and I'll use my Redskins.

Six

Gamertag is SixkillerNYC. Mark me down, I'll get the game before this gets underway.

precisionk

Need teams from you Six and Justin

Six

Seattle

Blakout

Can you schedule me as in, but only if you can't find enough people and need me to fill out the roster? I'd definitely be up for it but I don't want to say absolutely yes because my work schedule is screwy which means I don't know when I'd be able to play.

I'm terrible at the game and the Bengals are terrible at real football so it's a perfect fit.

Ill put you in as reserve and will put you in if we need bodies.

ANTVGM64

sign me up, GT: NotMeekin Team: Patriots if it's not a problem, Giants if it is.

precisionk

When we get a full roster, I will create the league and PM the password to all to join.

ANTVGM64

Good question. When we get enough, we can discuss the scheduling. I imagine we won't be able to find a time when everyone can play, we will sure try.

I am dedicated to making this not suck so I fully expect everyone to play and not have the league delayed by people who can't because what fun is that.

ANTVGM64

Aw shoot 10 minute quarters. We're gonna have like 120 point games.

After playing a bit today, thining 8 minute quarters will probably suffice.

ANTVGM64

8's good for me,

bficky

I would love to join a PA Madden 09 league, but I only have a PS3.

OP, would it be better for me to start my own PS3 PA league thread or turn this one into a Let's Play for both consoles (to keep the rules the same)?

precisionk

I would start your own PS3 league in a separate for the sake of the difference.

JustinSane07

Oh you want me to pick a team?

Titans.

ANTVGM64

What's the good word on the WR wing formation from ACE. that's kind of a nasty little formation if you don't know what you're doing. So a uh, heads up there

FanciestWalnut

Im in, my team will be the giants. When is the first scheduled game?

ToneLoc777

Might want to adjust the OP to our new proposed quarter length. People who check the rules first may be scared off by that 10 minute quarter length. I'm okay with 8, but I think the standard 5 might be better for the first league run-through. If the games last too long for some people I think it might lead to people dropping out early.

ANTVGM64

well there's always the mercy button and so on

Six

I'm going to bow out - I'm not sure when I'll have a chance to pick up Madden 09 again, and I don't want to hold things up.

WilDPanthA05

Yea, I'll throw my hat into the ring - WiiilDPiZ - Pittsburgh Steelers

Going to need your GT before I add you to the OP, waiting on 8 to start this.

Adjusted OP for rules changes.

We can do 5 if everyone concurs that is better. I prefer actually shorter but put it longer incase people liked longer games.

JustinSane07

I don't care about the length of the quarters really. Just nothing ridiculous like 15 minutes.

I did that once.

Never again.

Oh yeah, never would do that either. Way too long.

WilDPanthA05

5 would be the best just for connection purposes, you never know who may drop and if it gets that those are too short we can always change it

Blakout

I'm fine with 5.

precisionk

Cool, I will change it down to 5 minutes.

Paradiso

A league for [strike]clowns[/strike] gentlemen like me? Sold!

Paradiso - FortyPants - Jaguars

ANTVGM64

Is there a way to change what your hot routes are?

CrystalMethodist

IN

tag: egold

From the manual: "Press Y to bring up the receiver buttons, then press the corresponding receiver button and move L or R in the appropriate direction using the on-screen callouts."

Does that help? I'm assuming you're talking about during play here.

JustinSane07

I think he's talking about changing what the actual hot routes are. And no, I think they're static. You can change your audibles though.


Also, since it looks like we have 8 people, when's this getting started?
