    Don't think so Stuey, it'll just be a "I'm on play me" thing I imagine. 

    That's really poor from EA if that's not in the game. I used to play far more friendlies years ago when we had the old community as it was far easier to see who was online and just drop them a message on the xbox.

    Especially these days when we've has so many new players over the last 12 months and I haven't got them on my friends list. Suppose I'll need to get adding some of the newer lot.

    We want Stu we want Stu!!!!!  

    For the sake of a tenner, I may just pay the deposit and decide nearer the time.

    Love Manchester, went Uni there and proposed to the Mrs there last year so may be able to make some sort of sentimental trip with her around that time and tag it on.

    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!

    PS: Xbox One player. 

    Welcome buddy.

    You're gonna go from getting your bum handed to you by 12 year olds in Arkansas, to beating a 40 year old masturbating down the mic whilst playing you.

    Oh, actually, maybe not. I forgot @Hulldolfan isn't playing anymore.

    It is Dan not really sure how I get started tho or how the leagues work? Sorry I'm a bit thick

    im on PS4 

    Hi Darren. We have 2 league's running on PS4.

    Connected Franchise:

    (i.e. inherit a team, can trade with other teams, sign players in free agency, participate in the rookie draft etc. Basically build your team and play the season as your team against other coaches on the site. It's a game every 5 days. Games must be played by that time as the league will need to advance to the next week)

    Head 2 Head League:

    (Take over a team and use the online roster and play games using the play a friend function. No trading and free agency etc. Just turn the game on and play your opponents over a 10 week season and play offs.

    I've linked the relevant sign up threads so you can see the finer details and put your name on the one that most suits what you want out of a league. Or you could even play in both if you wished.

    Good afternoon all,

    Fair new(ish) to Madden.  Have been playing Madden 16 for the last 4 months or so will definitely be purchasing 17.  I would definitely like to get involved in the H2H leagues as they seem easy for me to grasp.

    Looking forward to seeing you all online in the coming weeks.

    Andy

    Welcome Andy.

    Have you just came over from the NFLUK Facebook page?

    Great to have you on board. I'm out at the moment so can't link you to the sign up thread but I'm sure one of the other guys can.

    What team do you support? Which console you playing on?

    GM would be great if you had full control on the PC for it. maybe you do!

    Agree. This would make a big difference. I really enjoyed the GM so hope we can get it going again.

    I would even offer to run it, however I'm too busy catching Pokémon. :lol:

  7. My preference would be a 5 day game week league. Not fussed about QTR length. I quite like the longer games.

    I would have a slight preference towards a Pro 8 style, however could potentially live with the Fantasy Franchise. Only issue with the Fantasy in years gone by is the lack of interest and most treating it like a 2nd league and not really participating that much. If it turned into this, I'd drop it.

    If we had a 1 game a week relaxed scheduling H2H league like the PFL, I could join that and the Pro 8 / Fantasy.

  8. FYI - What I'd like to see and what i'd take part in are two separate things.

    I love a lot of the above suggestions. I've loved the GM, PFL, Pro 10, UKML etc.

    With time, I'd have 2 options:

    1. Pro 10 and GM (Literally cannot fit any more games in with the pro 10)

    2. Pro 8 and (PFL or Fantasy Franchise) and GM

    I might go back to my routes and go back to the more relaxed gameweeks next year. Have enjoyed the PRO 10, however sometimes it's been a real stress to be available in the fixture slots. 

  9. I thought the GM was ran reasonably well last time. It was almost always rolled over at midnight or near to midnight.

    The only problem was, come the latter seasons, there were only a core of 5 - 6 coaches checking it everyday. Perhaps every week. You'd get people come on and ask how they were doing because they hadn't checked it in several weeks (which amounted to a season).

    I think the advance every night worked well though. I checked every result and made changes to the depth chart. Personally, wouldn't think it needs advancing any more than that.

    Like any of the leagues, the only thing you could say about it was that it lacked material on the site. This started out quite good and then dipped off in he latter seasons.

    The major problem with the GM League was that once someone dropped out, you could never find someone to replace them as the team was already so personal to the last person. Not sure how you can get around that though. You could run a GM League Sep - Feb and then a separate one March - August to try and freshen things up in the last 6 months...

    However you'd need to fit in a min of 7 - 8 seasons in the 6 month period imo to make it worthwhile. It can take a good 3 - 5 years to build your team.
