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

    That Madden timeline really puts things into perspective, where did you get that from?
  • fas carl
    Hey pasta what do you have to do to get to see online franchise on you computer?
  • MATT
    wow that is a great read man on the madden nfl history ... interesting and cool ... and i agree with you on most of those too
  • Madden History
    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.
  • Madden History
    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.
  • 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”.
  • 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.
  • The Truth
    Thanks, Pasta. I was only second to post in the thread after reading your twitter team. You couldn't give me any of my top 5 teams?

    Thanks.
  • Jimmy
    Guys are sounding like you were the last people picked in gym class....LOL
  • MATT
    GO BEARS AND FRED BETTER NOT GO NO javascript:%20hideMsgBox();LESS THAN NUMBER 1
  • Jim
    Pasta, do you know if CPU teams in offline-franchise offer to the user controlled team? And if they trade with each other?
  • bear down
    SO THE BEARS SUCK HUH? OKAY? WELL THEN LETS TAKE A COUPLE OF LOOKS OF WHY THE BEARS AND PACKERS ARE WAY BETTER THAN THE VIQWEENS ...

    BOTH the bears and the packers have franchise qb's and the viqweens have a piece of shit list of qb's ...

    the vikings are really called the viking because the team sucks balls but A.P. is the only player making it possible to be called competitive .... the bears have a RB the doesnt fumble everytime he fucking gets called on .... he can catch too so i am not saying we have a better one but we can count on him and not worry about him fumbling...

    the vikings suck way more a recivers than da bears for da truth because we have allot of fucking tallent and you dont know that yet but just watch ...

    the tight end position doesnt do much for you but i think that the chicago bears have one of the best tandoms in da league ... suck it fuck face...

    the offensive line ... u guys win by a small margin but you guys are just a one man team .... cock suckers ...

    the deffensve line is pretty fucking good but they do take drugs so i dont know

    the linbackers are overrated as hell and the bears and packers are way better than the viqweens

    the DBS r the worst in the league .... but the staroid using line men make you guys look good ...

    the special team suck fucking balls ... end of story ... watch a game or just a couple of mins and u will see

    the coach is a fucking 5 year old dumbass ....

    overall the vikings are number 3 in the north and the pack is number is 2 and allwas the bears are number 1 ...


    in madden prospective the vikings are way overrated !

    BUT I CAN AGREE WITH YOU ON ONE THING .... THE LIONS DO SUCK BUT THEY IMPROVED A WHOLE LOT

    Free Agents. This is how my league has agreed to handle it. We will use it like a draft in the first season. Before the season starts we will pick free agents from the lowest rated team to the highest. Once we are done it will be on a need basis. In following seasons since there is no salary cap I think Free Agents will be rarely used because no one will get rid of good players.
  • We're thinking of a way to force teams to have free agents every year. It could be something as simple as you have to leave one 90+ player, two 80-89 players, three 70-79 players, and so on "unprotected" and into free agency. Then its just a matter of finding a way to distribute them. Maybe a bidding process.
  • Or you could just put these players in a pool and conduct a draft during the free agent period. Much like keeper leagues do in fantasy sports. Keeps the bidding process out of it.
  • ThBeNdS
    I would love to have Free Agency more active but just can not figure out how to do it. My leagues have been pretty successful in the past and I have found the more complicated I make it the harder it is to keep everyone happy. So finding a simple way to do this is tough.

    What will you use to bid with?
  • July 4 1776
    Oh crap, I made it. I really didnt believe I had any chance lol
  • jnesses
    Why wasn't it first come first serve?

    You never mentioned it
  • justin
    do you know when the free agent list comes out?
  • AzureEffect
    Aw man PASTA...that's messed up. I was on Page 3 of the sign ups and even checked in often to get my Titans and you gave em to NIX...He didn't even want the Titans..I was like 1 out of 4 that ASKED for em ...I understand that since you have the Texans you and him will have a rivalry..and that's your boy so that's cool but dang...adding insult to injury..I'm not even on the waiting list. I'll trade my OD spot for a spot in this....as a Tennessean....that blows...
  • Im surprised your not doing a Fantasy Draft to help mix it up, or are you? Already got trade talk on here.
  • Thought about it, but trying to keep it more simple right now. If this is a success I'd probably like to be a part of a fantasy draft franchise also.
  • Got a few dudes at work and on the FD so we are thinking of doing a FD vs PD league. Prob advance once a week because of schedules but we plan on have all FD in AFC and all of PD in NFC with a Fantasy draft. Waiting to see who all actually buys the game first.
  • Pasta I played in your NCAA league last year and had a good time. I think I am just too busy to be in this league and would slow yall down but man I feel like im missin out. This is going to kick the NCAA online Dynasty's ass!
  • man didnt even make the waiting list i really got shafted, espically seeing how i was in your teambuilder dyansty and its not even a go. hey but o well i dint sign up quik enought...... my fault.... just bumed i couldnt get in
