Welcome back. Forum is now upgraded to the latest version. Expect some more downtime in the week when I link the user database here with RGM, which will also get linked with FLM & PEN once they are upgraded. Lots of nice little features added, have a play with them. I especially like the mentions. Like this; @ThePacFish likes penis. He'll get a notification telling him to read this post and then he will know that he likes penis. The pick'ems app is dead in the water. Not been updated since we installed it back in 2013. No work planned on it, but if it does get updated, we'll be adding it in. I am looking at alternatives. The awards app I'll be looking at this week as there's a couple of variants we can use (I think), would like some continuity with it though, although we may need to start from scratch with it. Any questions, or issues, get them down in here

Pro-7 makes way for the Fantasy Franchise.

With Madden 16 due in the next few weeks, now is the time to announce the structure of MaddenPFL for the coming season Dual Console MaddenPFL is now dual console and will run competitive Madden setups for both Xbox One & PS4. We tested the water with the PS4 setup on Madden’15, but our plans for Madden’16 and beyond are solid and we’re looking to cement a user base that will not only create some good leagues/franchises, but will also add to the community as a whole. Sim & Arcade Competitions Arcade I hear you say? We all know that Sim franchises are the bread and butter of MaddenPFL and encourages the gameplay that we strived to provide when we launched MaddenPFL all those years ago, but, Sim gameplay and the time frame for each match doesn’t cater for all madden gamers. We are looking to introduce an Arcade setup (franchise or league TBA) where we will have shortened matches aimed at fun (those who glitch, cheese or play repetitive football in this will not be welcome on MaddenPFL). This should provide a good platform for newcomers to the game or the more casual madden gamer to experience the game within our community and hopefully look to make the jump into the Sim setups we have running. Sim Franchises With the PS4 setup expanding in to Sim franchises, we’ve rebranding the franchises to make them more uniform should we create an exact replica of an Xbox Franchise on the PS4. Pro10 (formerly Xpress): 10 minute quarters, 2 games per week (Mon-Wed, Thurs - Sun). Pro 8 (formerly UKML): 8 minute quarters, 1 game every 5 days. Fantasy: 8 minute quarters, fantasy draft, redrafted every season, 1 game every 5 days. GM Franchise: If EA pulls their finger out and don’t balls this up, this will be running again. Arcade Competitions The likelyhood is that this will be a head to head league, although we’ll assess the numbers and what they are after and decide from that. The games will be 20 minutes in length with a relaxed rules TBC. If you don’t have the time to spare of an hour each week this is the league to be in. This will run on both Xbox One and PS4. Signup Threads Are OPEN! You can sign up for your chosen franchises at the threads linked below; Xbox Pro 10 Franchise - Xbox Pro 8 Franchise - PS4 Pro 8 Franchise - Xbox Fantasy Franchise - Xbox Arcade League\Franchise - PS4 Arcade League\Franchise -

Ooh you big tease

Don't think I banned him unless he was being a stroppy twunt. Can't remember that being the case though. He's a commissioner on here, bumped him up myself so don't have a beef/grudge. As I said, if he bailed and had a bit of an attitude with it then yeah, banned. But not from here or RGM.

Why is he banned?

If MaddenPFL is gonna get back to where it should be, it needs more staff members on board. There's still a bit of dead weight on the current team that is gonna get s**t canned, so I need people that are enthusiastic and want to get actively involved, be it franchise organisation or community enhancement. I've got plenty of roles to go around and want all of you to take a more active role in getting this place up and running again. Interested, slap your name down here. PM me, but I may miss it as I don't have any notifications on for PMs, so you run the risk of it being missed.

Not if people are set in the lazy shout box only mindset.

You guys need to be trained to use the forum again to allow everyone to partake. You're on FLM, look at the size of some of those threads for one single match. You have multiple games, all going on at the same time, if you can't get a multi page thread going on a Sunday, then you guys clearly don't care enough.

Correct. Already planning the successors. Big shoes to fill, but we've already got the makings of a more involved team than we had the last few months, so the future is looking pretty good Massive f**k off threads instead of a secluded shout box with limited involvement, even from the people in the shout box. Get a thread going and anyone can partake no matter when they turn up, be it at the start of game day, the middle, the end or days later. Means for more LOLs if people make outlandish statements that blow up in their faces as opposed to the disposable s**te in the shout box.

A few thanks before I get down to whats happening over the next few months; Rigglar & Joe have decided to step down from the team for various reasons. They've been very important to MaddenPFL over the years and I'm sure you'll join me all in thanking them for their efforts in their own free time to ensure you have a superb community and excellently run franchises to take part in. Cheers lads MaddenPFL & Madden'16 We've pretty much had a complete staff revamp, new guys are being brought in, the dead wood ditched. There are also a few changes that will take place, some already, some over the next few weeks; * Forum Upgrade: Sometime tonight or over the weekend, I will be upgrading the forum so that its in line with the new RGM Forum. * Shoutbox Closure: The overuse of this has helped to form a mindset to not partake in the community. Couple that with the lack of VIPs on MaddenPFL, its being closed and everything that goes down on MaddenPFL will be available for everyone to partake in, not just those with shout box access. If this means you want to cancel your VIP, feel free. * Site Upgrade: The site will have a lick of paint and the content brought to the forefront with a layout simplification and uniformity that we've already established on our sibling sites, Pro Evo Network & FIFA League Manager. * Staff Overhaul: As this thread started, we've lost a couple of key guys, but we've already made moves and established a few new faces that are keen and raring to take over where they left off. BUT, I need a few more people to step up and help continue the great work that their predecessors have laid out. Interested? Get your name in this thread and what you can offer. We're looking for guys to help out from a franchise point of view as well as from a site and community enhancement aspect. More s**t to come, but I'll close with this; Some people have been commenting that the site isn't as active as it was or whatever, that changes from today onward. We all pull together to make this place bouncing again. We're nearly there from a behind the scenes aspect, but we will need you guys to do your bit as well.

Card change probs. On the site. Support maddenpfl link
