    Looking for ideas...

    (cross-posted at WhoNeedsRules, forgive me.)

    So I recently bought Madden 08 for the PC as an impulse buy, and also upon the news of the expanded ability to edit the game. Predictably then, because I have too much time on my hands at the moment, I'm in the beginning stages of putting together a third go-around of my custom dynasty, titled "The League". (for nostalgic ones, and a slightly shameless plug: season one, season two)

    For those who don't know and can't be bothered to read the original threads, I replaced all the teams in the NFL with 32 custom squads, originally using the 17 from Midway's video game "Blitz: The League", the eight teams from the defunct XFL, and nine custom squads. When I upgraded from Madden 06 to Madden 07, I dropped the XFL squads and added eight more custom squads, two of which were user-submitted rather than my own creation (the River City Ramblers and the Newark Mafia).

    Which brings me to now. I had originally planned on carrying over the previous teams from last season, but I had forgotten that between then and now I had a hard drive crash. I've recovered what team logos and graphics I could find from my Photobucket account and from MaddenTeams.com, but I have no way of recovering the teams originally from Blitz, as Midway has since changed the webpage for the game; team rosters no longer exist on the webpage and the team graphics are too small to be usable in Madden.

    With all that in mind, does any one have any suggestions as to how I should reimagine The League?

    How about a league filled with the greatest teams from the past or featuring the greatest Super Bowl winning teams.

      Now that would be sweet! It'd be like a league of those teams that ESPN was using in there little thing they did when they matched them up against NE this year during their undefeated run. This way, those teams could actually settle it on the field.

        Two proposed options:

        1) Take the best players from 32 Universities.
        Florida State University: Tallahassee Bandits
        University of Notre Dame: South Bend Savoirs
        etc...

        Use from a certain time frame: 1975-2000 or whatever

        2) Take the best players from a certain state where they grew up
        Virginia Hustlers
        California Cruisers
        etc...

        Once again, time frame
