THE HAVEN: '10 Madden League Brainstorm Session

The Haven: 2010 Madden League ​

First off, yes it is a little soon for this, but this is for my own sanity as I want to be ready when the game drops. It is in my experience that leagues with 32 players - suck. There's always a select few who fall behind, can't keep on track or generally disappear.

This is why I am creating The Haven for the 2010 Madden. The Haven will be a SIM only league and it will be either a 16-20 team league.

Think about it - 16 or 20 teams means no one gets stuck with a shitty team. The people that are 100% will input stats, no game will go statless barring disco's and shit like that. Stats are part of the fun to some people, and over a shorter season, the hassle of stats doesn't get in the way of the fun.

Less teams also gives the league a lot more solid ballers to choose to be in the league. If you're not 100% then there's no room for you in this league. I know there's guys out there that are and I know there's an audience for this league.

Another thing, I want to stress is this will be a full league. Weekly awards made by yours truly, hopefully some of you guys will do reports, team banners... This is going to be a great league if the right people show.

So right now, I just want to hear what you guys think on a couple things -

1. 16 or 20 teams? (Either way there will be two conferences, Ballers Division and the Players Division)

2. 12 or 14 games - this league is meant to be a little shorter, leaving it open to multiple seasons - god willing madden's good enough.

So, lemme know what you guys think... I am looking for another person to help me out with this, but I'm not gonna take some joe blow who wants to be a commish of a league cause it sounds cool.

Well is it a league or an online franchise? I think if you are gonna do the online franchise then you are doing it the right way by not going with a full out 32 people. Think about it, before you can even advance a week every game must be played with the 16 people matching up against each other. You know how hard it is for some people to connect with others? For some it's easy as just turning on the xbox and boom you play each other. But for others it just seems like they don't have time for a league. The way to solve that problem is to just set a deadline and if the game isn't played you sim it. But when you sim it guys start complaining. "Oh I was online for 4 hours and he never came on" So your in a pickle.

You need to have strict rules. That's why GGML was so great. They stuck by their rules, weeded out the weak, the ones who didn't have time for a Hardcore Madden League and kept the guys who did. After a few seasons they had their bunch of guys who they knew would be dedicated.

Just my input. Gonna be interesting to see how you do. Don't give up man. Good luck.
 
this is an PS3 ONLINE LEAGUE - not a chise.

chise's are something i dont want to get into.

and Ajay, I'm a former MMer so when I say sim, i'm talking sim. I know there's a good group of guys out there and i'm sur ei can find em
 
lol some of you guys are fools...


Franchise = you gotta do the signing and resignin of peeps and draft and all that jazz

Online League - pick a team, play through 1 season... no personnel stuff etc
 
I'm not a 'chise person, so this sounds interesting, JTC!

Not sure that I would make it in, of course.....but I will be checking to see how full my plate is.


Sidesheet: Lol, Clown still got one of the most recognizable avatars in the biz.

Lol, don't go including me in that discussion between you and Houtz, Clown.

I merely said I "might" be interested in your league.

what the hell you talkin bout PTR? your old eyes must need a new glasses prescription..


i said that i wanna re-create old MM PS2 Online Gaming Room vibes, that you and houtz both know about...

sidenote: 57 rushing attempts in one game = commitment to PTR and keepin your alias true haha
 
a league with less than 32 teams and tight group always works well, i believe the 40 nickel guys have done this for a few years and played madden from release to about a week before the next one came out. if it is run properly and the idiots are kept out (read 18-20 year old kids who have zero clue what sim ball is) it could be great. I will be keeping an eye out.

Must of been the old eyes, JTC. Man, I need more words than that, lol. Thought you were still referring to Houtz and his 2-2-0 experience.

Yeah, the vibes....cool.

And STFU about my cool game vs DSA, lol. I whooped his ass, held him to less than 50 points and did better than Izzy, the offensive genius.....and didn't even have to throw a pass! :redface:
