Starting up an online league

[Pass_The_Cows]

I've been really enjoying this game online so far and would love to get a persistent league going. Here are a couple things I'd like implemented:

1. We would use a proboard site to communicate/schedule

2. Depending on how many people are interested we could run on a divisional system with each division playing between themselves more than once a season

3. Teams would be capped at a certain number of stars, I was thinking something like 10-12 total with 7/8/9 max on either side of the ball. Maybe a cap on the Overall rating would work better, idk yet.

4. A "sim" play style would be required. Now this is alot different from a game like Madden thanks to the insane Int/Sack numbers that show up on a regular basis. Basically it would be required that you mix up your playcalling (that doesn't mean no pass heavy offenses or anything like that, but no 50 pass attempts to 5 rush attempts type playstyles). Also punting and field goals on 4th would be mandatory as long as the game is not on the line

5. We would develop a schedule on the proboard site and play a game every 2-3 days probably

6. If and when we determine a season champion we could maybe all add a star to our teams if that's possible without changing every player rating. I haven't played season mode yet but I've seen an "Import" option when choosing teams so maybe it's possible to start a season mode, sign a free agent (rookie), then export the team for use online?

7. If we got into it enough we could even record stats/records/awards on the site

I can't believe not a single other person out there is interested in something like this...

It sounds interesting but maybe others are like me and are still trying to figure out the game, polish our stick skills, and settle on a custom team before attempting so "long term". I like the idea though and maybe would want to join in the future.

Yeah that's understandable. I don't know if you've tried online yet but I went in after 5-10 offline games and have been playing very competitive games even against some of the guys in the top 20 on the leaderboards. You should give it a go if you haven't already, I think you'd be surprised how even the best players aren't much better than the average joe.
