Guest Vitamin X Posted July 29, 2008 Report Posted July 29, 2008 We don't have a whole ton of people in our dynasty, so if they want to join in, I don't see a problem. Only complaint I have is 5 minute quarters are a bit short for me. I have always played on like 7 minute quarters at least (and when I played Madden, I did 10, but that's obviously too excessive). Maybe I'm just a weirdo when it comes to that kind of thing, though, in that I like longer quarters. On Campus Legend though, I don't think I could do that because the CPU does not run down the clock at ALL, there's no time choosing plays or anything so the clock doesn't run down like, ever. Makes no sense. I saw that, Agent. That sucks. I just got done whooping Bowling Green at home, and am getting geared up for my big game against my former team at Autzen. That'll probably be a pretty tough game, but I thought I handled my last game pretty well, so we'll see. Question: Should we move all the online dynasty talk into its own thread? I think it might need one.
Matt Young Posted July 29, 2008 Author Report Posted July 29, 2008 I was wondering about that myself, Leo. Also, the Madden online franchise talk. No one responded to my suggestions for said franchise, which I still plan to create myself for reasons stated previously, and the game's out in 2 weeks.
fazzle Posted July 29, 2008 Report Posted July 29, 2008 I think I'm gonna pass on Madden this year, because I'm planning on picking up NHL 09 instead, and getting in the EA Sports Hockey League. This sounds like the most awesome feature in any sports game EVER. It's a complete ongoing online league where everyone is controlling just ONE player.
Broward83 Posted July 29, 2008 Report Posted July 29, 2008 Then you missed my post Matt, I said I'd be in as Houston.
Conspiracy_Victim Posted July 29, 2008 Report Posted July 29, 2008 Hey Broward, sorry I never responded to your Live message but it's garbled, I don't know what happened. As to the online dynasty, I'll give it a shot, but to be honest I've never been real good at sports games, despite being suckered in to getting NCAA every year. I'll pick out a team, but I'm going to be an easy W for everyone. I can recruit like a mother though. Anyway, how does it work? If someone could give me a summary I'd appreciate it.
Broward83 Posted July 29, 2008 Report Posted July 29, 2008 Just let me know what team you'd like to play as and I can send you an invite to the league with that team. You play the CPU for pretty much all of the season unless you've got one of us scheduled in which case, you'd play one of us. You recruit just like the offline dynasty but the twist is that you'd possibly be recruiting against one of us for the player's commitment.
NoCalMike Posted July 29, 2008 Report Posted July 29, 2008 Am I the only that feels Madden should have a no player ratings mode? The last few games I have played online it has been frustrating when my receivers are dropping wide open passes, while my opponent's receivers seem to teleport 2-3 yards behind my secondary at the last second to make catches. My other pet peeve is how Madden seems to give ratings way to high for "athletes" as opposed to great football players....Michael Vick, Reggie Bush, Donovan McNabb(well not so much anymore) are just capable of doing stupidy on the field in this game. I wish there was a mode, namely ONLINE MODE, where ratings were emphaized less and it was more about the offense I pick vs. the defense my opponent picks and vice versa. With that said....I'm getting Madden '09 on the 12th....lol.
Mike wanna be Posted July 29, 2008 Report Posted July 29, 2008 I'm waiting a couple weeks on Madden, to be sure it isn't as bad as NCAA was on release. Also I'm fucking broke and I need $3200 by the middle of August to not get kicked out of the college I just spent most of the summer dicking around to get transferred into, so that eats into the yearly Madden funds.
Matt Young Posted July 29, 2008 Author Report Posted July 29, 2008 Then you missed my post Matt, I said I'd be in as Houston. No, I saw that. I said no one responded to my ideas on how to set everything up. There were a few people who objected to me stating I'd be creating the league, so I said I was open to opinions. But fuck it; I'll just do it. At least I know I've got the time, the experience and credentials (not trying to sound pretentious- I couldn't think of a better word to use) to make it work. So far, we have Green Bay and Houston.

No one responded to my suggestions for said franchise, which I still plan to create myself for reasons stated previously, and the game's out in 2 weeks. I don't mind who starts the league up, as long as someone does and I can play Who wouldn't want to destroy a limey brit at American Football?!
Matt Young Posted July 29, 2008 Author Report Posted July 29, 2008 Okay, so far we have the following: Matt Young: Packers Broward: Texans KingPK: Patriots Chriswok: Browns (Yes, I remembered.) I'll probably start a separate thread tomorrow.
Guest Vitamin X Posted July 29, 2008 Report Posted July 29, 2008 If there's more interest in Madden, I might consider picking it up, but NCAA is such a great game, I don't see how Madden could top it.
AlaskanHero Posted July 29, 2008 Report Posted July 29, 2008 I'll take the Bengals. I look forward to stomping Chriswok's Browns.
Canadian Brandon Posted July 29, 2008 Report Posted July 29, 2008 You guys with 360s suck. Does anybody here play online on PS3? I have NCAA 09 and will probably be getting Madden. My ID is canadianbrandon.

You recruit just like the offline dynasty but the twist is that you'd possibly be recruiting against one of us for the player's commitment. Which of the Texas teams are available? I'd prefer a team like UH (Rice will take a bit too long to build up), a nice middle of the road team in a midmajor conference until I can get the feel of it figured out. Otherwise I'll take A&M, but they're stuck in mediocre team hell.
Broward83 Posted July 29, 2008 Report Posted July 29, 2008 The Cougars are indeed available for play and when I get back from setting up a new store today, I'll send you the invite. (You'll have to go thru XBL --> Online Dynasty --> Check Invites to get it instead of just seeing it pop up as an XBL message)

He took the Packers to back to back superbowls in his Madden Dynasty... seriously, don't talk to him until you've had Bret Farve sleeping on your coach - you could never understand.

I beat up a stripper with Pac-Man! You aint got shit on me!
Matt Young Posted July 29, 2008 Author Report Posted July 29, 2008 LOL... Mike McCarthy certainly is big enough to provide a comfortable resting place for Brett. EDIT: I just saw that there is actually a poster called "Noah Fentz". Apparently, all the good shit happened in the Raw thread after I had signed off.
Agent_Bond34 Posted July 29, 2008 Report Posted July 29, 2008 I saw that, Agent. That sucks. I just got done whooping Bowling Green at home, and am getting geared up for my big game against my former team at Autzen. That'll probably be a pretty tough game, but I thought I handled my last game pretty well, so we'll see. Yeah, it sucked pretty badly, but it was still one wild game, IMO. Especially if you look at the scoring summary for it. I was down 21-7 in the 2nd quarter nearing halftime and scored 14 points in less than a minute, literally and then took the 2nd half kickoff back for a TD. That was one of the crazier sequences I have ever seen on this or Madden in the years I've been playing them. Speaking of Madden, I'm interested in joining the Madden league as the 49ers.
NoCalMike Posted July 30, 2008 Report Posted July 30, 2008 You guys with 360s suck. Does anybody here play online on PS3? I have NCAA 09 and will probably be getting Madden. My ID is canadianbrandon. I have a PS3....I will be getting Madden 09....as soon as I get it I'll add you to the list.
Matt Young Posted July 30, 2008 Author Report Posted July 30, 2008 I didn't realize until VX messaged me on Live that I was the only one who hadn't played his game in the NCAA dynasty. I haven't been sleeping much and I've been busy making preparations for my birthday (which is today). Last night I saw that Broward hadn't played his game yet so I said, "Fuck it" and went to bed. But I just played and won 42-10.
Cartman Posted July 31, 2008 Report Posted July 31, 2008 Are there enough NCAA 09 PS3 dudes here to start a dynasty?
Canadian Brandon Posted July 31, 2008 Report Posted July 31, 2008 Are there enough NCAA 09 PS3 dudes here to start a dynasty? I'm game...I just don't know if there are enough people no here to have a dynasty though.
Agent_Bond34 Posted July 31, 2008 Report Posted July 31, 2008 You guys should just get 360s and get it over with.
Cartman Posted July 31, 2008 Report Posted July 31, 2008 I would but there isn't really any point outside of playing with you guys online. If I want any Xbox games I cant get on PS3 I have my PC
Obi Chris Kenobi Posted July 31, 2008 Report Posted July 31, 2008 Madden Demo on Xbox Marketplace, enjoy.
