Wooooo, time for all your Madden PS4 dream teams to come true. Want to pull a Titans and draft an entire offense composed of Tightends? Or do you want to be Chip Kelly and draft only white players? You can do all that and more in this year's PS4 Madden Fantasy Draft League! Lets go through all the basics. The Draft: The league will start with a live fantasy draft. Depending on the amount of user teams we get, the draft might be split up over two sessions (most likely not though). The draft order will be completely randomized with a snake set up. So while you might end up with the 32nd pick, that just means you will have the 1st pick of the 2nd round. I believe the computer gives you something like 60 seconds to make your pick. So make sure you have an idea of positions to target as your pick approaches. It blows to run out of time and end up with the CPU making your pick. Rules: Just like the other league, All Pro difficulty with 6 minute quarters Don't be an asshat. No going for it on 4th down when a team normally wouldn't, don't abuse the fake field goals if it doesn't get patched. Don't run up the score against other players in the league. This should all be known by this point. You are free to restart games against the CPU to make sure you win or if one of your star players gets injured for the season. Don't restart because you want to break records or for frivolous reasons. Trades: I don't really care if we have CPU trades on or off since this is the fantasy league. You guys let me know when you sign up and we will go with what the majority rules. Schedule: This league will probably be smaller and end up moving alot faster then the main league. Until we get actually start the league and get everything going, we will advance every 4 days like the main league. Signing up: Please include the following when you reply to join: Team: Thoughts on trades (No CPU Trades, All Trades, No Trades, etc): Particular Nights you are open for the draft (either late this week or next week if the patch drops soon): PSN ID: Lets get everyone signed up! As soon as the patch hits, I will create the league and start shooting out invites! Thanks to Dubious for running the league last year and keeping the OP stuff handy!

Put me down for the Bungles...I mean Bengals! (I just like their Jerseys.) And as for trades I don't know how terrible the AI is this year at trade logic but since it's a fantasy draft I don't think it matters that much as long as it is not abused. We have a pretty honorable bunch in our usual playgroup so I say we play it by ear. I can draft any night, PS Vita ensures that my wife wont get pissed off for me hogging the TV.

I'll be setting up the league tomorrow. Would everyone be open to a draft on Sunday evening during the night game? If that doesn't work, we could either shoot for Saturday (any time) or Tuesday evening.

I'm enjoying MUT this year. Gonna give this a shot. Team: St Louis Rams Don't really have thoughts on trades. (Maybe just don't fleece all the CPU teams?) Saturday night wouldn't be that great for me. But I can probably still make it work. Any other night is great. PSN ID: flickmaker

Lets do Saturday, that seems to work for the most people. Everybody want to shoot for something late afternoon or in the evening? I have no plans this weekend except to watch football and play videogames, so some of you might have something like a social life for Saturdays or something. I am going to plan on doing the draft on Saturday at 6:00 Central, but I am open to move it to whenever. Since we don't have to wait for week 1 rosters, I will get the league created tonight and start sending out invites.

League is created and invites for everyone have been sent out! I joined the league as an owner, but you all are free to join as either Coach or Owner. Looks like we will be drafting on Tuesday then. I'll figure out a time soon, but we will probably shoot for 7-8 central since it usually goes for awhile and I know it can get late for east coast people as well.

Malloreon posted:just accepted. if I choose owner, I won't do playcalling or controlling any players during the game? If you choose owner, you will control the players just like you do normally. The difference between owner and coach mode is running finances as the owner. Coach: call plays, control team in game, set depth chart, cut players, sign free agents, negotiate contracts, perform trades. Owner: all of the above, hire/fire coaches, set pricing on merchandise/stadium prices, option to relocate the team, work with budget. If you don't have much experience, I would say be a coach. Some times the finances that an owner is dealing with can cause problems in signing free agents. I can set it so you can't get fired as well. You are welcome to be an owner as well, especially if you want to relocate the team ir anything. Since you are pretty new, you might want to think about the following: 1) deciding what kind of offense and defense you want to run. If you are looking at doing a base 4-3, then look at players that will best fit the different roles on the line. If you want to focus on a deep passing game, then research what quarterbacks can throw deep. 2) Look through the players stats on the newest roster update. Just get an idea of what players you want to target so you don't feel like you are scrambling for a pick all the time. 3) if you gave the extra time, start your own fantasy draft franchise and run a draft to get an idea of when the CPU targets certain players. This will help immensely in getting an idea on what to expect. Let us know if you have any more questions! Exciting to have new players pop into the leagues this year! It's also up to you if you want to create your own coach/owner or use the real ones . All players will be involved in the draft, the game just shows orginal rosters until we kick everything off.

Havoc904 posted:great advice Thanks for the advice! I went coach, and chose existing, and they gave me this "griffin murphy" person, whom I'm guessing is a stand-in for Belichick since he's not a member of the coaches union. I'll run my own franchise and see how that goes as well. Catch you guys tomorrow.

Malloreon posted:I am super stressing out about this draft! I have so many tabs open. You will be fine. I would advise drafting any players you REALLY like a few rounds before you expect them to go because sometimes the CPU will make a run on a position. Just have fun. If you miss out on a player you really want, you can always try to trade for them! Looks like everyone is in the league except for Piper! Just sent him some reminders too.
