Preseason: General Discussion

[MaSTA SoLIDUS]

Yeah.

[Tokyoo]

Minnesota Vikings trading block:
Adrian Peterson
Jared Allen
Steve Hutchinson

yo guys i'm looking for draft picks, i need to build for the future. i'll also accept a kicker with more kick power

[BonesMahoney]

Never used the Seahawks before but I wanted to use a different team, I'm already the Bucs in 2 other OFs. They don't look like that bad of a team. I don't like their HBs at all though. Can't wait til we get started.

[MaSTA SoLIDUS]

I'll give you my 1st and 2nd for Adrian, Plus Jerome Harrison.

Or, I'll give you Quinn + My 2nd and 3rd for AD.

Or, make me an offer. I'm trying to Get that man. Only guys not on the table are DA, Robiskie, Massaquoi, Veikune, Wimbley and Joe Thomas. Deals can be made for everything else.

[Tokyoo]

lol I can't tell if you're serious or not. my post was a total joke lol

[MaSTA SoLIDUS]

lol really. Veikune and two rookies, DA, and Wimbley are my untouchables? (I put Thomas in there to throw the scent off and confuse you)

lol

[Tokyoo]

haha that is EXACTLY what fooled me. But seriously, if anyone wants Naufuauahfa Tahi my fullback, I'll trade him for a Bawls soda

easy there tri-state lol

[DEUCE]

What do you think about using mics? Now I'm not saying to be chit chatting all game because I know it can throw you off your game, but just to be readily available to discuss any "issues" that may have come up during gameplay?

[MaSTA SoLIDUS]

Free Agency, how does it work? Because there is some lower tier talent I want on my team that is FA.

[DEUCE]

In Pasta's league we had a draft as well as the BNL I'm running with 'Sider over on PS3.
Two rounds, order was based on 2008 record and you were to choose 4 players in order of preference. If someone before you chooses you 1st choice it's on to the next selection. Second round is run in reverse and follows the same formula.

If you decide to skip on FA during the intial rounds, you can pick someone up @ free will during the season, for any means. If you've made your two picks, then the only way you can pick up another FA is due to injury or if you're down a player because he was included in a trade deal....anything we can change? thoughts?

[BonesMahoney]

Yeah I was wondering about FA too. I wouldn't mind upgrading my back ups at a couple positions.

When are we going to officially start? I don't want to play my game yet in case someone decides they want to join as the Rams(unlikely I know, but still).

Edit: Thats fine with me Deuce.

Cdawg I'm sure will take the Rams, but his 360 had the RROD and he's just waiting for it to get back to him. If everyone signs in today and we can get free agency out of the way fairly quick, I'd say we start tonight or tomorrow.

Sounds fine...Considering I have the Browns, and already picked up a s (can't remember his name lol) I'll just sit out the draft and save my three trade credits for later. I did that before I heard, I didn't know there was no salary.

Do the credits accumulate?

[DEUCE]

Not sure, to be honest, I never really thought about accumulating them....would just start fresh after the season was over....

[BonesMahoney]

lol Masta signing a FA already. What a cheater!

[MaSTA SoLIDUS]

I'm willing to release him back to start fresh...


lol

[Tokyoo]

Masta you're going to need to sign an entire new defense to stop me

[MaSTA SoLIDUS]

Not in Maddenland tokyoo...you'll see...

[BonesMahoney]

Would it be wrong to cut Julius Jones and/or Edgerrin James? I hate both of them.

[Tokyoo]

I'm considering cutting some dudes. But seriously, anyone need a fullback? I have an extremely overrated one I'd love to get rid of

[MaSTA SoLIDUS]

I'll take Julius Jones off your hands for future FA considerations...

my team needs depth.

[BonesMahoney]

I'll take a bag of Doritos and a half eaten ham sandwich for Julius Jones.

[MaSTA SoLIDUS]

I'll take a bag of Doritos and a half eaten ham sandwich for Julius Jones.

that sounds equal to 2 FA credits. Done if agreed. lol

[BonesMahoney]

If we're able to do that, done deal.

[Tokyoo]

no way masta don't do it. Nauaefuafah Tahi has 10x the running attributes of Jones

[MaSTA SoLIDUS]

what is Tahi rated in runblock?

[DEUCE]

Well based on record, Cleveland and Seattle had identical records, but Seattle fared well against their respective division, so Masta would technically go first. Ya kinda jumped the gun there little buddy lol, unless no one wanted Pollard I'll let you have him, but you need to drop someone from the Brownies in order to keep him, that was something I neglected to mention lol

[Tokyoo]

Tahi: 78 speed, 86 strength, 67 awareness, 88 truck, 88 stiff arm, 59 pass block, 70 run block, 74 impact block.

Impossible to take down on the first hit

[DEUCE]

You can't trade free agent picks, only draft picks or players lol

[MaSTA SoLIDUS]

why are you getting rid of him then? I mean, I'll give you Jerome Harrison for him, but I don't know why you want to give him up.

And when can you play your game? I'm home now.

[MaSTA SoLIDUS]

You can't trade free agent picks, only draft picks or players lol

dammit lol I'll sell water to a whale if you let me

well then I'll look over my roster and make a deal Bones. Any particular needs you got?

[Tokyoo]

I hate him like fucking crazy, he's so overrated in the game.

But I'll be home in like 2 hours from now, I'm at class. Then we can play if thats cool?

[MaSTA SoLIDUS]

Drop somebody? Gladly lol

[BonesMahoney]

My main needs are HBs(ones I actually like, aka anyone not named Ederrin or Julius), FS and a back up OLB.

[MaSTA SoLIDUS]

I hate him like fucking crazy, he's so overrated in the game.

But I'll be home in like 2 hours from now, I'm at class. Then we can play if thats cool?

lets make it a 4p kickoff then :)

and I'll post the applicable trades to get approval from CommishGetRight

when can I (we) pick players up. I browsed the list and there were quite a few I could use.

This defense needs major work

[BonesMahoney]

I was checking out the Browns, Masta. I like your 3rd FS Deangelo Smith and Cedric Peerman. Let me know what you want to do.

[DEUCE]

I'm putting up the FA Draft thread immediately after this post.
You'll see your order, I'd ask that you post 4 players in the order that you want them and tell us who you're releasing....once everyone has their picks in i'll make the changes for you via the franchise website.

[Terrorblaze]

how many FAs can we pick up?


hint: make it 3 :)

[DEUCE]

hint: make it 3 :)

lol...only 2 for now cheeser lol

[Tokyoo]

masta 4pm est or cst, and will we have fa's by then

[DEUCE]

masta 4pm est or cst, and will we have fa's by then

I'd hold off until I get picks from everyone @ least for the first round.
Tokyoo, pm me your 4 choices and who you want to drop unless you feel you don't need to add anyone.

If you want to pass on FA for the first round, then you can go ahead and get your first game in....it's up to the both of you.

[MaSTA SoLIDUS]

masta 4pm est or cst, and will we have fa's by then

4 EST, it's 3:32 now (I'm in Cleveland)

[Tokyoo]

Tahi, Ray Edwards, and Chester Taylor all on the block. I want a good defensive end or really..anything for them. and okay master deuce, i'm lookin at the list now

lol....god I love being a mod for my sub forum

[MaSTA SoLIDUS]

I made a proposal for tahi....Robert Royal. Good?

[Tokyoo]

I don't need a TE, i got shitcoe and jimmy k

[BonesMahoney]

I was checking out the Browns, Masta. I like your 3rd FS Deangelo Smith and Cedric Peerman. Let me know what you want to do.

Don't know if you seen this Masta. You still interested in Julius?

[MaSTA SoLIDUS]

3rd RP then. Good?

[MaSTA SoLIDUS]

Don't know if you seen this Masta. You still interested in Julius?


I'll give you Peerman for Julius if you want that...I was offering Jerome Harrison.

If you want Peerman, it can be done.

[Tokyoo]

Hmm I think I'll wait til I see who I get in FAs. I hope I can get my fa before we play.. I am almost positive none of the teams ahead of me would want him

[BonesMahoney]

Oh I didn't know you offered a trade. I'll take Peerman. Since it's week 1 if we do a trade it won't go through til week 2. So I'll release Julius and you release Peerman so we can have them for week 1.

[MaSTA SoLIDUS]

it'll be done before my game with Tokyoo

[MaSTA SoLIDUS]

is 4p not good Tokyoo? I'll be on shortly

[Tokyoo]

im on right now, just playin practice

[DEUCE]

it'll be done before my game with Tokyoo


Just post in the proposed trades thread,I'll ok it and that'll be the way things are approved :bananadance:

[Tokyoo]

Deuche can I get my FA now before my game? If you see the guys ahead of me, they're all 3-4 d...

[DEUCE]

Deuche can I get my FA now before my game? If you see the guys ahead of me, they're all 3-4 d...

I'm going to boot you if you keep calling me that :ninja: lol

I'll make this exception since you both are on and ready to roll....good luck

[MaSTA SoLIDUS]

there are connection issues with me and tokyoo, like we had before.

any clue how to fix em?

[Tokyoo]

goddamnit this is weird, I can connect to a game w/ bones easily. me and masta cant even connect to chat or party

[JRC865]

It has to do with routers, try direct connecting.

[nix]

We should sim the first season and start with the draft!

[Tokyoo]

masta i turned my whole firewall off, lets try again

[DEUCE]

We should sim the first season and start with the draft!

lol

[MaSTA SoLIDUS]

I just put my 2nd 360 in the DMZ, it should work now.

[Tokyoo]

what is dmz?

[nix]

Demilitarized Zone

[JRC865]

Doesn't it open all ports for that ip?

[Tokyoo]

how do i get in that

[MaSTA SoLIDUS]

WTF I don't think it's me...I reset the router, opened ALL the necessary 360 ports, reset it again, put the 360 in the DMZ...reset it AGAIN...

your 360 hates me tokyoo

[MaSTA SoLIDUS]

how do i get in that

if you can configure your router via the web (like type in 192.168.0.1) and haven't configured anything, it should be a setting somewhere in advanced

[Tokyoo]

it hates tristate killa too, idk wtf is up i can connect to other people fine

[JRC865]

I will play my game tomorrow. What are the time frames for advancing?

[Nephew E]

since when was imwinnin an OG? im not trying to be an ass, i just really dont remember him

[DEUCE]

since when was imwinnin an OG? im not trying to be an ass, i just really dont remember him

he's been with us for a hot minute....Imwinnin = Atom1

[Tokyoo]

lol i dont really have anymore to say deuce. i think the quarters are really hard to decide, because the CPU sucks so hard. longer quarters are awesome in user games, but create beast stats in CPU games. its really up to you/everyone else to decide what's important/the best medium

[DEUCE]

It'd have been great to have a full 32 OG roster, but not everyone is around anymore

(although I'd have to run to VSN to probably find some :wanker:)

I just want to see what the rest of the owners say before I make a final decision.

[JRC865]

I personally like 6-8 minutes no accelerated clock, but everyone seems to be in love with accelerated clock.

[Terrorblaze]

I've been playin some ranked games and practice mode with the falcons to get used to the team and wow. Michael Turner is amazing

[Nephew E]

[Tokyoo]

EDIT: I see we are waiting for the terror/cr game to be handled..
