I'm not saying I want out based on last year, believe me I have no problem picking from my team. BUT, if it will make things easier by starting new this year then let's do it.

Besides, nobody will have room to complain next year because they'll know the rules going in to it.

One way or the other, I think it's time we step up to the next level.

I don't know bro...you know how this one's going...

[Troy]

I know... I just hope we can get something worked out soon.

[POJO_Risin]

Oh...it will work itself out...

I was in a live draft on yahoo, I think the way it worked was cool. Basically, we picked the order at random, and the draft order reversed each round. The person who picked last in the first picked first in the second. Seems to me to be the best and most "fair" way.

Also, if it's a keeper, the guys with keepers could be picked at random, just like the others, just lose however many first, second and third round picks from that order for their keepers.

[POJO_Risin]

Yeah...that's the general format...have no probs with that...

no way it beats Madden..out next month..ill wait..been playin ncaa 2005....

Everybody has their favorite but, I've always been a fan of the 2K series so I like it a lot. It's really geared towards online play. It's better than last years version. Just because it's only 20 bucks doesn't mean it's crap, that's the beauty of competiton, the comsumer always wins in the end.

Shit... for twenty bucks whether you prefer Madden or not, why not try 2K5???

I see the difference between Madden & 2K5 like this: 2K5 is for the casual gamer that likes to have fun and still keep a "sim" feel. Madden is for "softball player"

It rocks dude. I love mine. The homefield advantage thing is really cool, if your players get rattled, your in serious trouble, even the good QBs will zoom a ball twenty yards over a WR if a large rowdy crowd get rolling. If your playing at Ten, Fl, Michigan, Fl St, or anywhere like that, you gotta play smart. Even if your ahead, and the home team makes a big play (turnover, TD on D, etc), it all can fall apart pretty quick, especially if you've got a young D, younger players get rattled much easier.

Other than homefield, the running game has been tweeked a bit, the triple option is unstoppable if it's run correctly, especially with the passing option, it seems to run smoother this year. Also, with the new tweeks, the better runners will do a juke with just a directional pad move hard into a direction. Some of the better backs (like Sproles) are damn tough to tackle in the open field.

The DBs have been cranked up, one-on-one doesn't mean a pass will be completed every time anymore, especially with the DBs and the homefield going against you now. The WR needs to be open pretty much to complete it, unless the WR is one of the top guys.

One other tweek that is really nice is the shit about the QBs dropping 50yds back is gone. The cheesiest move of all time IMO, if you drop your passing signals, unless you've got just an awesome running QB, you'll get caught b4 you can get them back up.

I love that game, it's literally the only game I buy anymore. I've gotten it every year for like the last four years or so.
