After announcing the owners for the Pastapadre Madden 10 Online Franchise last week there has been a lot of discussion going on in the forum. Much of it has to do with the system for free agency and salary cap that will be utilized, and when we come to an agreement on that I will post it up since many others out there may be interested in different ways to conduct that business. Luckily that doesn’t really become an issue until the first off-season so there is time to hammer that out.

Another area that must be addressed was free agency in the first season. The game will have some nicely rated players sitting in free agency in the shipped rosters and subsequently the release day roster update. Players such as Marvin Harrison, Edgerrin James, and Derrick Brooks will be available, although Plaxico Burress is being removed in that first roster update. Of course the highest profile free agent (with the roster update) will likely be Michael Vick given that it doesn’t appear he will sign with a team within the next week. Surely many owners would be seeking to add him to their teams so a system has to be in place to deal with this.

So what I decided to do for this first season of free agency is hold a “lottery”. Going in order of team ratings I assigned a number segment to each team. The Lions (being the worst rated) had the largest set of numbers while the Patriots who are rated the highest in the game had the smallest set of numbers. I then used the random number generator to come up with the full list of teams and their placement in waiver order. In cases where free agents are desired by multiple teams, the highest in the waivers will receive them but drop to the bottom. However teams are able to sign free agents if they are the only one requesting a particular player without losing their waiver position. A no-trade clause will be placed on all first season free agents so that an owner can’t just pick someone up in order to deal them off.

The results of the Pastapadre Madden 10 Online Dynasty “Free Agency Lottery” are below.

1) Saints
2) Cardinals
3) Jets
4) 49ers
5) Texans
6) Browns

what the hell? The bears have a horrible slot lol

Once I got into the 20s I started wondering where you would fall. Not a great draw obviously but there will probably be someone decent to pick up. Be interesting to see if some teams hold onto their waiver slots in case of players being dropped during the season.

What I am doing for my League is going by team rating giving the worst team first pick (lions, rams, etc..)
I think that is the most fair thing to do being that people who get the top teams like Pats already start out with an advantage. Lottery is cool but only when it does done live on camera and posted so everyone can see. I still think giving the worst teams first picks is the best way to go tho.

Even though I got picked 32nd, I completely agree with this method. Seems to be taken right from fantasy leagues. So to be clear, if 5 teams pick up a free agent that goes through waivers, those teams fall behind me? Either way, seems fair.

They only drop down to the bottom of the list if another team wanted that same player. For example, if number 1 on the list claimed Vick and number 4 on the list claimed Vick also, number 1 would go to 32 and everyone else would move up (number 1 would get Vick by the way).

if you get in an online franchise and you are the last one to pick a team – can you quit and join another or not since everyone no one would join that league unless the last picked team is the team they want – (probably not gonna happen)?
