As always it is a difficult process to arrange a community based initiative or event. There is a huge amount of interest which is great, but it also inevitably means I won’t be able to involve everyone who wants to be. Thanks to the people who took the time to sign-up in the forum for consideration for the Pastapadre Madden 10 Online Franchise. Continue on to check out the roster of owners, waiting list, and some basic details of the league.

Details
Settings will be on All-Pro difficulty with either 8 or 9 minute quarters utilizing accelerated clock. If accelerated clock is not an option then quarters will be either 6 or 7 minutes. The franchise will advance every Saturday and Wednesday night. So one “week” of games will be completed within the Sunday-Wednesday night frame, and the next “week” is done in the Thursday-Saturday night frame. Anyone who is not actively communicating on the forums will be at risk of replacement. All trades must be approved by the commissioner or could be struck down if 20 of the 32 owners vote against it. The structure for how to handle free agency has not yet been determined. The franchise will be set up immediately after game release, with week one of the season opening on Wednesday August 19th.

Updates on the franchise will be posted about on the website and will also take advantage of as as-of-yet unannounced website feature here that is currently being constructed.

Waiting List
For those who didn’t make this initial list of owners don’t lose hope. I fully expect there to be a couple new people in by the start of week one. It is likely due to whatever reasons that a few of the current owners will drop out by then.

The waiting list will work as follows. Any time an opening comes arises I will post about it in the forum. After a few hours or up through the end of that day there will be the opportunity to express interest in the thread. If one of those people is from the list original signups below they will be chosen. If not I will look at various factors in making the decision.

Cmh9552, Tactical777, The Truth, lilewhit, jimmyy201, jfleming40, speed914, Sober Hobo, zrath55, K alvary, jnesses, UFCDJD2009, aiksmithirvin, Perry8331, ionlygotonearm, dmcnabb5, T Share 18, BustyBuffet, JohnsThaKing, Jmo31, Michael1807, Bengalsfan2001

Brief Timeline decline of Madden football

2005 – Madden releases one of its most well received games in history, Madden 2005. It is regarded as the peak of Madden’s life on the Ps2 and XBOX. 2K Sports counters with the release of what will go on to be the most critically acclaimed football game of all time, NFL 2k5, which coincidentally would be 2K’s last NFL game. Times are good.

Late 2005 – EA Sports sign an exclusive licensing deal through 2009 with the NFL and the NFLPA to give them the exclusive rights to use the NFL's teams, stadiums and players in a video game.

2006 – EA misleads the public with a over dramatized movie trailer which was portrayed as being what Madden on the Next Gen gameplay would be like.
Madden History

2006 – Much hoopla gets made about EA Sports acquiring the ESPN license, which they then end up doing absolutely nothing of note with to enhance the gaming experience.

2006- David Ortiz takes charge of Madden franchise for two disastrous years that this gen Madden may never recover from due to EA’s refusal to change engine

2006 – John Madden, original creator and namesake of Madden, is pushed out/steps down as a creative force behind Madden games.

2006 – Popularity of online play causes EA to tweak game in accordance to its online community cheesers rather then real NFL football as had previously been the case for a decade. Despite publicly deriding and criticizing cheap online play, EA goes on to market toward these same players, even producing a TV series around them called “Madden Nation”.

2007 – NFL becomes more hands on and touchy with overseeing aspects of game – No tattoos, less violent hits, less fun celebrations, other uniform related issues

2007-2008- Two of the worst editions in the series history receive top reviews and awards from various gaming publications, no doubt creating a sense of complacency within EA Sports. These near perfect ratings also may have caused an incentive for the NFL to renew the exclusivity license even further, which they did until 2012.

2008-2009 – After nearly 5 years of Madden only football gaming, the bar becomes greatly lowered, and an enormously flawed Madden 09 gets a positive reception. 9’s and 10’s mysteriously fly around for a game that has little to no concept of weight detection, broken sliders, noticeable player abilities or tendencies, and freezing bugs, among other issues. Where we see the birth of the terms “Robo QB”, “Suction Blocking” and Phonebooth Tackling” to describe soley Next Gen Madden’s issues.

2008-2009- David Ortiz gets the shaft, and it is announced that Madden 10 will be headed by Ian Cummings, Ian and Co. proclaim a much needed new direction for Madden, despite the “EA Marketing team” directly on the other coin praising the successes of Madden 09 financially and gameplay wise in order to market Madden 10. Despite this back to basics profession, the producers decide to stick with the original heavily criticized engine to make their improvements on top of. Early demo impressions reveal exactly what the last sentence would implicate.

Some say 2k football would never outsell Madden, but that was 5 years ago. Consider if the great 2k Football games were available each year after year, for the past 5 awful years of Madden. Consider if consumers had a choice. It is my belief that the exact same thing that happened with 2K basketball slowly taking over the market from EA Sports NBA Live in those same 5 years, would have happened with football. Maybe someone at EA recognized this, and pushed for the exclusive license.
