KCF0107 12/20/19 2:23:38 PM #1:	Board 8 National Football League League (B8NFLL) just wrapped up its 12th season where the Miami Dolphins defeated the Dallas Cowboys in the Super Bowl. That means its time for new blood or old blood returning to be able to get in on the action for Season 13. Signups will last until at least late January, so there's no rush. What is this? B8NFLL is a simulation league using Madden 06s franchise mode where users build rosters while managing the salary cap to have fun and/or accomplish something over the course of multiple seasons (no hard figure, but the game can't exceed around 30 seasons) What do we do in a season? Here is an oversimplified breakdown of what we do each season: 1. Offseason - Ownership changes <---- We are here - Player retirements - Restricted free agents - Unrestricted free agents - NFL Draft + signing draft picks - Free agency 2. Preseason 3. Regular Season 4. Postseason The beginning of the offseason is the only time that I can change ownership of teams, and I personally think that it makes most sense to end the season with the playoffs, so this is where we begin. The majority of your work in this league will be in the offseason. The pre, regular, and postseason is basically seeing the fruits of your labor and making any adjustments that you see fit. You can ask questions now if you have any about the offseason events, but I go over them in full detail when the time comes. This is the kind of project where you can be as active or inactive as you want. I of course like to see it when people put in a lot of effort, but I totally understand that people have different lives and schedules that might affect the amount of time they are able to put into this. We've had a wide variety of successful levels for those active and inactive. We've even had users who literally did nothing all season who went on to win Super Bowls or make it far into the playoffs. If you are interested in joining this but are hesitant based on your availability, let me assuage some possible concerns. I end up doing like 95% of the work on this project, and I give users plenty of time to do their tasks. A large number of offseason segments I give users at least a week to complete. Should you idle during any of those segments, I have very forgiving rules in place. Your team will not be screwed over if you ever forget to do something. How do I sign up? In the post below, there will be a list of all 32 teams in the league. Many of the teams are already occupied, but I will explain who is and isn't open. All you have to do is post that you will take over X open team, and you are good to go. --- KCF can't actually be a real person but he is - greengravy If you smell what the rock is cooking he's cooking crap - ertyu <cite>KCF0107 posted [p:931848504] in Sign-ups f...

KCF0107 12/20/19 2:25:37 PM #2:	In the OP of every topic we have, there are four links you will see. They are as follows: 1. Hub Spreadsheet https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10gIP0JkVqOaoUc4aQX_NyDM8dB31FOPm_dUx6DVTWPk/edit?usp=sharing This is where you will find all pertinent information on the current state of the league. In it you will find several sheets, most of which should be self-explanatory if you understand the NFL. You might want to look at to get familiar with it and if your choice of team depends on its roster and not fandom. If your choice of team does depend on the roster it unfortunately is not fully accurate. Due to the amount of time it would take to update each time players' ratings change, ratings for all teams are reflected based on what they were entering the preseason unless a player was signed or traded after it. Also, the team financial sheet which gives you contract info and ages for all your players are only shown for user teams based on how much time and effort it takes to work on it. Do not hesitate to ask me any questions regarding any teams you might be interested in taking over. 2. Word Doc https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RVeEIyjqIiEkS0VYvbsI02dWMDXyOgdVQAgThNJyIfc/edit?usp=sharing This was recently re-worked, but it still a very wordy 14 pages worth of info that should be helpful to understand how B8NFLL works within Madden 06. I wouldn't say it is essential and it doesn't cover everything, but I think it covers most of the important stuff and might answer many of the questions you have. 3. Wiki Page http://board8.wikia.com/wiki/Board_8_National_Football_League_League This is starting to get ridiculously long and may prompt me to move it elsewhere as I can't seem to make new articles on the B8 Wiki, but the basic history (such as who was in charge of what team each season, final regular season records, playoff results, award winners, and end-of-season stat leaders) of every season of B8NFLL is on record here. 4. Previous Topics https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/78188213 https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/78009170 These are the topics we used for last regular and postseason.

KCF0107 01/06/20 12:29:32 AM #22:	Late but not too late small writeups for open teams Denver Broncos - One of the premier franchises from the past five seasons, they are coming off of a season where they have a case for best team to not make the playoffs. They went 10-6, but had a great point differential and an elite defense. The offense is mostly veterans, but the defense is in the midst of a successful youth movement. Anyone interested would have to work a little bit with their financial health. Oakland Raiders - They are coming off of back-to-back playoff appearances that include a spot in the AFC Championship Game and a #1 seed in the AFC. The defense has always been great, but the offense really took off this past season. They have a very bright future ahead for them. Great financial health. Washington Hawks - Coming off of their best season yet, which included a 12-4 record and a playoff victory. The offense is going to look very different soon with its starting QB, WRs, and TE in the final seasons of their careers. That defense has seen quite a few retirements in recent years but has drafted very well on that side of the ball. New York Jets - Statistically, they should have been a 7-8 win team, but they could pick as high as #3 in the upcoming draft. The good news is that their poor record last season was certainly due to poor injury luck. There aren't many areas that need a lot of work. Financial health should be great. Baltimore Ravens - They are coming off of back-to-back AFC North crowns.Typically one of the league's best defenses, they finished above-average this past season. They are always among the best running teams in the league, but their passing attack was possibly the best they have had. They are getting long in the tooth though. Financial health needs work. Cincinnati Bengals - They've kind of flown under the radar these past two seasons. They have been inconsistent, but when they're on, they might be the best team in the AFC North with their balance. They could use some talent infusion though. Financial health seems to be fine. Columbus Pioneers - Normally an elite offense team, they are coming off their worst offensive season since maybe their move to Columbus. The defense completely turned things around by finishing just outside the Top 10. Regression to the mean suggests that the offense will gain some semblance to what they were. Good financial health. Seattle Seahawks - Offense was banged up but overall as complete and balanced as it was a season ago. The defense sagged a little but not by much. A person's touch might be all that it needs to be a force. Financial health should be fine. St. Louis Rams - They are coming off of a very weird season where they began 1-6 with the league's #1 D and finished 8-8 with the NFC West crown. The running game needs an overhaul and the offensive line is aging, but that defense is fantastic. There are some older players who will need to be replaced or have a succession plan in place though. Dallas Cowboys - They have been and continue to be the presumptuous Super Bowl favorite until their team completely falls apart. They are elite in every facet of the game. They are in poor financial health and will need a lot of work to get under the salary cap. Minnesota Vikings - Throughout the league's entire history, people probably think about the Buccaneers, Dolphins, and Jaguars when they think of the most consistently good teams, but the Vikings have had more seasons with a Top 10 O and D than any other team. They added one last season, and if not for both of their MVP candidates suffering season-ending injuries in Week 16 or 15, they could have given the Cowboys a run for their money in the playoffs. Team has had the most retirements over the past few seasons, and they should see a few more in the seasons to come. Financial health is fine. Anaheim Lightning - This team has the most work to do. Having seasons and seasons of putrid OL play, it is now one of the strengths of the team. Unfortunately, a new QB, TE, and secondary is probably in the cards. A general talent infusion is needed. Financial health should be fine. --- KCF can't actually be a real person but he is - greengravy If you smell what the rock is cooking he's cooking crap - ertyu <cite>KCF0107 posted [p:932527996] in Sign-ups f...

The running game needs an overhaul and the offensive line is aging, but that defense is fantastic. There are some older players who will need to be replaced or have a succession plan in place though. Dallas Cowboys - They have been and continue to be the presumptuous Super Bowl favorite until their team completely falls apart. They are elite in every facet of the game. They are in poor financial health and will need a lot of work to get under the salary cap. Minnesota Vikings - Throughout the league's entire history, people probably think about the Buccaneers, Dolphins, and Jaguars when they think of the most consistently good teams, but the Vikings have had more seasons with a Top 10 O and D than any other team. They added one last season, and if not for both of their MVP candidates suffering season-ending injuries in Week 16 or 15, they could have given the Cowboys a run for their money in the playoffs. Team has had the most retirements over the past few seasons, and they should see a few more in the seasons to come. Financial health is fine. Anaheim Lightning - This team has the most work to do. Having seasons and seasons of putrid OL play, it is now one of the strengths of the team. Unfortunately, a new QB, TE, and secondary is probably in the cards. A general talent infusion is needed. Financial health should be fine.</quote> ... Copied to Clipboard!
