    Welcome back bud! Great to have you back on the site. I missed the QB Merry Go round 

    And the trades buddy - don't forget the trades! I am not guaranteeing there won't be a QB merry Go round next season..... Oh and the injuries.

    I think we've had the proof people like reading mid season reports, draft mocks, team mocks all that kind of thing the comments and views on posts prove this. People like watching other league games on twitch, viewing numbers prove this. 

    My opinion not enough people make an effort to make this a community, the site is dead its pretty boring all you see is people arranging games and the odd post on the nfl game week.

    There isn't enough league interaction or life interaction, it feels like a bunch of strangers arranging games against each other and I know personally this has been the case a few times this year when I've no idea who the person is I'm playing apart from a user name.. 

    I thought the reason people joined these leagues was to make friends who like the nfl first and Madden second, I know that was me. 

    It seems most can't be bothered to post match reports, schedule games and it seems to be getting worse.

    I would love to know how everyone thinks we could improve this, get more people to twitch, get more people talking more. 

    I would have no problem myself doing reports, blogs, twitching and whatever as I love reading the stuff myself and other people's opinions on my team etc but there is not enough people willing to do the same and help make this a better, more active fun site to look on. 

     

    I don't know how to twitch, to show a game or to watch others - as an FYI from a newbie. Again I'd argue setting up an FB group would be beneficial.

  4. Personally I've enjoyed it a lot - to the point where I've stepped up to the big boys table in pro-10. It's improved my game no end, to the point where I took the Browns at 69OVR to the SB offline on All-Madden. I don't think my wife is that enamored with it but hey-ho. Although as I went back to uni, I've also got more time to put to it. 

    The admins etc have done an excellent job (apart from that 49ers trade booo) @Vondia and @SnapDan were instrumental it keeping me going with the Browns early on and I'm pleased they did. 

    My only gripes are on organising games, too many occasions when someone has said yes I'll play and then vanishes or says they'll go on AP and they haven't. Beyond that some of the rules annoy me, notifying on hurry up and not allowing 4th down fakes specifically. Oh and the FA routine - I think it should just be a case of first come first served in the game. If you miss out on the player you wanted, tough titties - thats life and that's what happens in the NFL. Pre-season as well annoyed me, I want to play pre-season games because I want to try different looks, schemes, plays, players etc and you can't get that in training mode or playing offline but others seemed to totally drop it.

    Maybe bring in an owner league? that could be interesting. Maybe set up an FB group? The forum is fun but with different layers etc you can miss out on a lot,

  5. Hello All, 

    Apologies for not posting an intro straight away. 

    Basically, if anyone gets me in a game - your luck maybe in! Long time Madden player but not all that good. Generally,  I don't play on-line because I got bored of having my ar*e handed to me by 12-year-old's from Arkansas. Looking forward to seeing if I am as bad as I think and hopefully improving over the season. 

    I've watched the NFL for 20 years and played Madden since the late 90s. Houston Texans fan, hoping to see Brock kill it this year and also hoping the "be a player" mode on M17 is better this year. Don't get me started on MUT - not my thing, tried it once and when Tom Brady went against Tom Brady it ended it for me! 

    Here's to a crackin' season both on and offline!
