I very much appreciate you taking the time to respond. I'm glad not everyone here is an *sshole which is what I read all over the place. The people writing those messages as far as I'm concerned were equal enough *ssholes for writing such things.
I'm new to this series as well as online play in general as I'm an old school gamer who played Tecmo Bowl the year it was released. I assume to be in a league that would have to do with online franchises. I've never really tackled diamond dynasty nor franchises. So I suppose I'll try to create/join a franchise if that sounds right to everybody else.
Thanks again
