OTPD Madden18 (Xbox)

[Yukon46]

OTPD Football League

"One Team Per Division"

Basic Outline:

I am looking to play an Online franchise, but with 7 other Sim playing, like minded players.

I am looking for players who usually just play offline.... but want to have a small influence to a franchise experience from other real players.

With only 8 total players, 1 from each division... there will be very few PvP games during the regular season. But the influence of those real players should make for an overall better franchise experience than just playing offline by yourself. (this is my hope)

You must want to play a sim type game, basically trying to closely resemble what they see in NFL games.

I think most should understand that concept…. If not, we can always discuss things further.

Rule #1 is going to be ….

There are not going to be a bunch of rules !

If there is a need to police games stats, and impose a bunch of rules and guidelines......that would just defeat the whole purpose, it’s that simple.

Some of the league basics will be ....

* One Team Per Division
* All players should be user created owners
* Some form of All Pro settings (TBD)
* Probably go with 3 days between advancements

The rest will kind of fall under the guideline of each players discretion…. Trading, contracts, roster management, free agent signing, drafting, etc.. etc..


So pick a Division/Team with your reply.
(and like I said, any current OS Golf Society members will have first dibs on Division/Team choices.)

SO let’s do this…

AFC East: Miami Dolphins (Yukon46)

AFC North: Cleveland Browns (brent3on)

AFC South:

AFC West: Oakland Raiders (mtimisone)

==============================

NFC East: N.Y. Giants (Mean Greene)

NFC North:

NFC South:

NFC West:

Re: OTPD Madden18 (Xbox)

Thought we would have a few more from The Golf Society...

But that's ok.... we got time

I am liking the gameplay from the early access... does need some slider tweeks to make it more challenging for a league like this (mainly vs CPU)

When actual release hits, and all can play the game freely.... would like to have a little test group for the sliders I will be working on.

Maybe have a test online franchise to play some games and see some results.

OTPD Football League

So I thought I would just get up some basic league outlines, so those interested can make a decision on what they want to do.

So after checking this out, Just a reply in this thread from those that are interested for now is all we need.

Picks will be on a first to reply basis…….

So pick a Division/Team with your reply.
(and like I said, any current OS Golf Society members will have first dibs on Division/Team choices.)

Basic Outline:

I am looking to play my usual offline franchise, but with 7 other like minded players…. That is the simple way to look at it.

I am looking for players that usually play their own offline franchise….

You must want to play a sim type game, basically trying to closely resemble what they see in NFL games.

I think most should understand that concept…. If not, we can always discuss things further.

Rule #1 is going to be ….

There are not going to be a bunch of rules !

If there is a need to police games, because a player threw to their Tight End 25 times, in a game they won by 28 points….that would just defeat the whole purpose, it’s that simple.


Some basic guidelines will be used….. like

· One Team Per Division
· Some form of All Pro settings (TBD)
· Probably go with 3 days between advancements

The rest will kind of fall under the guideline of each players discretion…. Trading, contracts, roster management, free agent signing, drafting, etc.. etc..

I think if we need to be told how to play a “sim” style franchise together, there is no point in playing it.


SO let’s do this…

AFC East: Miami Dolphins (Yukon46)

AFC North:

AFC South:

AFC West:

==============================

NFC East: N.Y. Giants (Mean Greene)

Yes online is the only way to play with other users. And this will be an Online CFM.

I am looking for players who usually just play offline.... but want to have a small influence to a franchise experience from other real players.

With only 8 total players, 1 from each division... there will be very few PvP games during the regular season. But the influence of those real players should make for an overall better franchise experience than just playing offline by yourself. (this is my hope)

Re: OTPD Madden18 (Xbox)

Hello I am looking for a sim xbox one league. I used to run leagues myself when i was younger but now with a job & all I'd rather just be in one. You wont have any issues with me following rules or scheduling games. I also have a good active friend who would be interested. Feel free to shoot me a text at 818-397-3496 if you have a legit league. I would like the Vikings as I'm a die hard fan and my buddy would like the Chargers. Thank you.

Re: OTPD Madden18 (Xbox)

At this time, I am having second thoughts about trying to get this going.

I initially hoped this would include mostly active players from a Golf society we were all in, but only one has signed on for playing here... and the Golf league is getting less active everyday.

And with the way the game is currently playing ( at least for me )... it is gonna take a few patches to get it up to playing an offline style franchise, versus mostly AI type of league.

And sadly, those potential patches do not sound like they will be out anytime soon .....

So I am just gonna put this on Hiatus at this current time.

I hear you, man. If/when you want to start a league, I'll be there.

Re: OTPD Madden18 (Xbox)

Anyone still interested in doing a league like this? I can start it up if so.
