Motherfuckers it is now Season 4 of the Madden 25 PS3 League!

Last year's Super Bowl winner is summed up by this simple mantra:



New for this year was a huge FA shakeup from someone who got Real Mad over a probation from posting anus.gif. Many teams are now not what they used to be, and more teams jumped cities. This will be an interesting season as we all try to unseat the World Champion Cleveland Browns, whose owner saluted Cleveland with a Super Bowl, and then a franchise relocation to Memphis :haw:



[b]League Info
League Name: sasfl
Password: PM Dubious for info

Rules:

* We will be playing on All Pro Difficulty.
* Quarters will be 6 minutes with accelerated clock.
* Please try to limit cheese play. We can discuss it on a case by case basis, but lets not let it come to that.
* On the above, No Huddle is off-limits unless it's a real situation that dictates it (trying to come from behind with limited time in half/game).
* Once the season begins you are stuck with your team until the next pre-season. No jumping teams mid-season.
* New rule effective immediately. Pubbies can only join this league if an existing member will vouch for them. This silliness belongs on

Trades:
Please discuss all trades in this thread and not through private messages. That way other team owners can weigh in on the fairness of trades as well as offer counter trades as well.
*CPU Trades - we allowed trading with the CPU last year, however it must be ran by the league and everyone must get a chance to weigh in to make sure it's reasonably fair.

Schedule:
The league will advance every 2-3 days, or when all User Games are in. If all games are in before that advance period we may advance, but to start off we'll go with 3 days. Please let Dubious know after the first day if you can't get a hold of your opponent and we will work from there. If everyone is done before hand he will advance early. If you are the last person we are waiting on then you have 24 hours. So if everyone is done in 12 hours except for 1 person then he has 1 day after that to finish up their week or Dubs will advance. If you are playing the CPU then we expect your game to be done within 48 hours unless you mention it here.

2016 Storylines!

After claiming their first Championship since coming back to Cleveland in 1999, the Browns win the Super Bowl and then promptly relocate, Art Modell style to Memphis overnight. Cleveland fans have burned the Factory of Sadness to the ground, living up to it's name in death.

Several big ticket super stars have switched teams after an ownership Coup gutted many of the rosters, violating hundreds of articles of the CBA between the NFL and the NFLPA, chasing rings and fat contracts. Only a few will win a ring, but many have cashed in thanks to lucrative TV deals inflating the Salary Cap.

A few players have been traded or released and are hoping to rebuild their careers in a new environment. EJ Manuel is one to watch for a potential career resurgence in Denver, behind a stout O-line and a run game bolstered by new HB Adrian Peterson.

Fresh off his position change to ROLB, Mychael Kendricks welcomes Dallas rookie QB Paul-Michael Werner to the NFL with a sprained elbow on a vicious blindside sack.

E: Philly's offseason acquisitions show up big-time during a 66-3 rout of Dallas, showcasing their importance to this year's all or nothing Super Bowl chase. Philadelphia is facing many looming contract negotiations, and sources close to the FO indicate a Win Now mentality is permeating the locker room.

Does this game account for inflation or something? 112 million for a running back?

It is accounting for the increase in salary cap each season, definitely. We're at a 140m-ish cap this season, and its going to balloon to around 160 next.

For context, look at these two contracts:

Eagles give Megatron 6/112m
Jets give RG3 6/164m

Salaries are way up, but so is the cap.

GG, Thomas Platinum. Christ I loving suck at defense. Fun fact: opposing QBs are now 21/21 with a 158.3 rating against my secondary.

With how good my secondary actually is I was hideously disgusted at how bad I was getting burned by goob yesterday.

That said, to be fair it's the same for him because all of our games are just burning each other's secondaries, and who ever has to punt/gets the first turnover generally loses.

Thanks Mel. Oberst Dilfer

Thanks Trent!

We now break to Peter King and his SI article on the upcoming 2017 draft class.

"The 2017 draft class is looking to shape up nicely to get ranked by three different schools of drafting; GameFAQS A&M, Davis & Son Athletics, and the Dart Board Talent Agency. Some of the more observant GMS are noticing a striking similarity of these kids to a recent draft class in a next generation league; this draft was widely noted as displaying a lack of speed in the skill positions. Don't let that fool you from thinking these kids don't have heart."

When pressed for more information, Mr. King couldn't be bothered for anything else and waddled his fat rear end over to the nearby Starbucks.

When faced with criticism that there isn't enough NCAA talent entering SASFL, Dubious Goodell handwaved the verbal assaults as "frivolous, baseless accusations". He then continued to preach about league sanctity and that league defense has never been brighter; talks of a passing league developing were considered "abhorrently false" by the comissioneer.

Also Neil Stone had a hail mary TD to end the game

78 SPD running backs; falling forward for 9 ypc til the end of days
