How did you download new rosters?

Since the Redskins went up in rating will the Rams go up from the 66 they have?

66?

Just head to online and hit 'invite a friend' which should lead you to create an unranked, invite only game. Once you 'create game' it will prompt you with the old 'your rosters are out of date' thing.

Make sure to save them, and then you can load them later when you exit the XBL area.

One thing I like is that you can make all the depth chart adjustments you would like, and then if course overwrite those online rosters, and they will still be valid roasters for online play. That is, it makes it pretty clear that if you make any adjustments other than depth chart changes, the rosters will not be valid for online play.

But depth chart adjustments will apply to online games.

Of course, this would matter not at all for the online franchise.

Danimal, I can understand why you don't want to have to oversee and approve any trades with CPU teams, but I'm a bit worried that if we have a lot of attrition and wind up with most teams being CPU teams, having CPU trades off would be very limiting. Maybe I'm wrong.

I would love to say that we're all fair players here, and we'd all take care not to take advantage of CPU trades, but I know at least for myself that it would be very hard not to when the opportunity presents itself.

When do we expect to start up?

On page 3 Dan posted the start date will be the week of August 31st, so you have two weeks of practice time to get in.

Based on what i saw I can change the reades and just about anything else at any time. I can also over turn roster moves etc.

If you guys want trades with the CPU let me know, I'll go by majority vote on this.

I have added anyone yet because this golf tournament is keeping me busy. I had two matches today which I won 4 and 3 and 6 and 5. I have the championship match at 7:30 tomorrow. I'll start adding people tomorrow afternoon or evening.

WHAT I DON'T WANT TO HAPPEN is when i add people, they start going crazy with roster moves or play their first games. I don't see anyway to prevent this, considering I'll be away week after next and we were porposing starting the week of the 31st I am wondering if I should add people now or not.

Anyway I am far too sunburned and tired to think about this now, so when I have a clear and rested head tomorrow (and hopefully a club championship) I'll get back on this.

Thanks for everyone's patience.

Zeppo · Post by **Zeppo** » Sat Aug 15, 2009 11:25 pm

I don't see any reason to start adding people into the thing until we are ready to start. Also, weren't we going to wait for a later roster download before we startedM?

Anyone want to do a preseason game?

Danimal · Post by **Danimal** » Sun Aug 16, 2009 8:49 pm

Well guys if anyone cares I won my club championship today with a 5 and 4 win.

I haven't touched madden since Thursday, I'll get on tonight and see what what in terms of sign ups.

Danimal · Post by **Danimal** » Mon Aug 17, 2009 1:21 pm

Well this is totally my f*** up guys and probably what Zep was referring to the other day, as i said it was a long weekend.

It seems once I start the franchise it locks in the rosters. I was somehow under the impression that I could "flip the switch" on the league and it would use the latest rosters.

There is a new roster date this Weds. Whether there will be another before we start I don't know but the question is do I delete the franchise and start another on the 31st and we just go with whatever is in there at that point or do we just stick with what we have.

I'll make the final call but looking for input.

Also it appears that only about half the sign ups even have the game at this point or have entered their code. This is exactly what I was afraid of when doing a big league. If you're in this league and don't have the game yet chime in why, and if you've had second thoughts then please have the courtesy to post.

Thanks

I've got the game, but I haven't bothered to sign up yet. Didn't see the rush, as I thought we were starting a bit later. I'll get to it.
