    Madden NFL 17 on Xbox One
    This TMB Madden League is now in its third year, and we welcome old and new players alike. The new game shows a lot of promise (even by EA standards). Some badly needed new features include practice squads, commissioner adjustments to individual players, improved player progression/regression, different development speeds, injury decisionmaking, kicker icing, in-game updates on other league events, and a greater overall emphasis on roster building. The goal of the commissioners is to create a competitive, cheese-free, gentlemanly league of gaming while being responsive to player feedback and suggestions.

    Franchise Mode Improvements
    Franchise Mode Q&A
    1. Pick Your Team
    Priority is given to those who have participated in the Madden 16 season in its entirety, next to participants from the past two seasons, then to newcomers. As we've seen in the past, the sooner you join, pick a team, learn the game, and DRAFT YOUR OWN TEAM, the betterexperience you'll have. We will post the Google Spreadsheet for team sign-up shortly.
    2. Important Dates
    Game Testing Phase: August 23-31.
    Game releases Aug. 23. Use this time to play as many online games as possible and provide feedback on slider adjustments and gameplay issues, etc.

    Fantasy Draft Date: Mid-September (giving EA time to patch the inevitable bugs).
    This league will use a FANTASY DRAFT to create rosters and a Draft Poll will be used to select the time where the largest number of players are available to draft.

    3. Management & Adjudication

    King in the East: Victor
    King in the turncoats: Gbg
    King in the Midlands: Calevra
    Other King in the Midlands: Kelso
    King in the Home of the Fuckin' World Champions : val Venis

    There is no rebellion league. There was an agreement made and there will me one unified league with fair and just leadership.

    The op is just uninformed.

    There are a group of us (6) that will just pick from the remaining teams after we fill the other 26 slots. Leaving you all to get your teams. A true league for the people, by the people.
