FML Take 2 (FOFC Madden 2003 PS2 League) Roll Call

You should make it 82 and under, so the guys at the bottom of the draft don't get shit on. This would include the Jets, Bucs and Pats. (or you could include NE and NYJ but exclude TB if you want)

Whooo Hoooo

Ready to get this show on the road...

Looking forward to picking!!!

When do you think we will play week 1 ???

[Kodos]

Hopefully we can start next Tuesday. I still need to whip up divisions and a schedule after teams have been selected.

[BigDPW]

I wish I was higher than the 9th pick but at least we have included 2 of the 3 82 rating teams now!!!

[Kodos]

Yep. That was some good thinkin' by Raven. I only thought about excluding the best teams, and not about what teams might be left at pick 12. Good call.

[Fritz]

As I said, I will take Kodos leftovers and play the Fins.

You can buy my vote away from Kodos.

[Chris01]

Hmmm, Pats, Saints, Pats, Saints, I'll take the Saints. Let's do this.

[Kodos]

That Fins defense was REALLY tempting, but I decided I needed more offense than they provide.

DetoxRox, you're up!

Is it possible to trade a team before the season starts? Lol, I'd be more than happy to take the Dolphins off your hands Fritz.

The D is what I was after. The O is not too bad if you use the O-Line chea, er, powerup....

[Kodos]

Miami's o-line is suspect, and no real tight end. Outside of Chambers, the receivers are all average. And seeing Wanny on the sideline was the clincher for me. Go Broncos!

[Chuck127]

Hey guys after Detoxrox im next but i wont be able to make my pick untill around 10pm central. I have night classes tonight. Just thought I'd let ya know in case it got to me and you guys were waiting. Thanks

I'll keep checking up untill around 2pm then I gotta leave and wont get back till then.

You can probably just give a lit of the top two teams you want and if your #1 choice is taken we can give you #2.

But Ricky teands to break 30 tackles per run anyway so the weak offensive line doesn't matter much. Just give it to Ricky and get out of the way.

[Fritz]

who is this ricky?

[DeToxRox]

I'll take the Chargahs.

[Chuck127]

Ill take the Bears!!

Paging Mr. Raven, Mr. Rain Raven. You have a call on the white courtesy phone.

[Kodos]

Tri-dola. Do you guys prefer four 3-team divisions or two 6-team conferences?

[Doug5984]

Originally posted by Kodos

4- 3 team divisions seems like it would make division play much more important, but it really doesn't matter to me either way.

[Chuck127]

Has anyone heard from rain raven?..........man we only have two picks left! Does he have a certain amount of time to make a pick?

[Kodos]

Ahhh, we'll give him a little while longer. If he doesn't pick tonight, we may let him slip.

[BigDPW]

I agree with the 4 - 3 team Divisions

So the schedule would look like

Home and Home vs Division opponents (4)

plus

Home or Away vs Non-Divison (9)

for a total of 13 games


I like that schedule alot better than if it would be 2 Leagues --> A total of 16 games... But I am willing to go with either setup... Depending on the rest of the leagues sentiment on the issue...

Any thoughts about Playoffs? Will they be similar to the NFL with a first round bye for one team or will we play straight up 8 teams, 4 teams, or maybe even all twelve teams with each division winner getting a bye??? 6 teams could also work and give the leader of each league a bye with the wild card playing the other division winner in round one...

Just food for thought b/c I haven't seen any discussion on playoffs yet?

Do you think we should have a vote on how to setup the league divisons etc... Seem like some people don't frequent this board alot???

[Fritz]

I think

4 Div and 9 At large games should be used to determine top 2 teams in each div. these 8 teams would go on to a playoff

[Fritz]

actually a problem: 13 games means some teams have more home and some have more away.

I wonder if madden builds in any advantages to the home team

[Vince]

If we have 4-3 team divisions, we should probably go with 4 division winners and 2 wildcards for the playoffs.

With only 4 divisional games, however, we could potentially have a lot of ties, and how are we going to work tiebreakers? Point differentials?

[BigDPW]

You are right about the odd home and away stuff... Maybe the 6 team leagues look the best for that reason?

[RainRaven]

I choose the Chiefs.. since they have ex-Raven Priest Holmes.
