    Starting up an online league

    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

          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.

                          Bumping to get some teams to sign up for season 2
                          League is going good but we could use some more active people.
                          We are expanding to 16 teams for season 2 so get on the waiting list while you can
