Madden 2009 ONLINE LEAGUE for PS3 - Participants needed!

[BarthelloSylph]

What it's about:
So, Madden comes out Tuesday and I'm getting it. I want to set up a online league, which will require 32 people each picking an NFL team. My hope is that we will continue the league for multiple "seasons". My hope is to start the league late August if possible, but this may start in beginning of Sept.

What you need to do:
1) If you want in, post here, and once the game comes out and stuff, I'll invite you to the league
2) If you have a team preference, post it here, but we definitely need some people to be flexible. So if you don't care, please indicate it.
3) Indicate when you are purchasing the game, if it won't be this Tuesday.

EDIT: The league HAS BEEN CREATED. PM me for information.

The League:

Spots remaining: 21

Teams already in league:
BarthelloSylph - 49ers (taking one for the team)

[izembo]

thought the leagues capped at 16 people

[BarthelloSylph]

Really - I read that they used 32. Can you link me to something that says 16?

EDIT: Just read and it can be 2-32 players, depending on the setup.

I haven't really even bothered to preview the game because last years was so awful. Is this one going to be much or even better then the last?

[izembo]

just something i remember hearing from the reel we have running every day at work, it could be 32 but i thought i keep hearing them say 16

[recuperi]

i'll end up being a bit late on picking it up (early september) but if the league isnt up and going already I'd like to be the Chargers at that time

[BarthelloSylph]

I just read the leagues can be 2 to 32 teams. So let's get this thread back on track... who's in?

Quit slackin and dl the gd demo. Honestly last years wasnt awful dunno what you were playin, but anyway the demo played very well and looked very polished.

Barthello im unsure what system im getting it for, but if I choose PS3, I claim the cowboys.

[archibaldcrane]

This actually sounds kinda cool. Tentative Packers reservation here.

I meant the presentation compared to the others wasn't all that great, but I'll check it out in a bit.

[Kyo]

Madden is pretty much about the gameplay its what sells the game, not so much the presentation, but if you went by that, the best madden presentation would have went to 04.

I was thinking about getting the PS2 version, but if it still has Madden as a commentator, and is basically just a "Roster update" without any of the features from the 360/PS3 versions, I won't bother. :/

Kyo, I hear ya - I have both systems as well. But I'm ditching Live in March, and I hope that the league is able to continue for a fair amount of "seasons", so I'll buy it for PS3.

I'll give this another day or two before I make a post on my fav sports msg board for members.

[Tyr]

[Kurp]
