Lol oh

Same thing every year around this time. Some guys quit....oh well, the core group and at least 20 users will always stay. Most of the time it has to do with losses. People like to say it's this that or the other, but for most people it's losing. Oh well, I'll be here.

Me too Urb. I'll be here just to knock Joey off his high horse.

Or until you beat Arizona, which means you'll be here for eternity.

Lol Zona can be beat. I will do this and then retire.

This league just aint as fun as madden 12 and it got nothing to do with losses. Just aint feeling it. mfers dropping open passes, can't run defense aint tacklin. just too many things to name. I just aint feelin madden . I let yall know soon. But i'm close to the cliff of jumpin off.

I feel ya 100% sin. I had already told a few people in the chatbox that this might be my last season. I named the same things that you named. Just too much "other" shit going on in these games. That cold streak shit just goes too far. Anyway, I don't blame ya for leaving tho man. I might be right behind ya. I'm still not sure yet, cause a lot of times when I leave I be itching to come back. I wanna make sure I got it all out of my system this time before I leave.

Urb its not always about wins and losses. I don't think sin has ever had a winning season, but he plays multiple seasons every year. He's like me, if hes not having fun or he's getting frustrated with a game he's gonna stop playing. People just get tired of this Madden shit. It's not football. Have you noticed there are a lot more people going on auto pilot this season? It's cause people are getting tired of this shit. It's not all about wins and losses. Jalen went to the playoffs last season, he quit. The only reason I am even considering staying after this season is because I like fucking around with people like you, joey, and some of the guys in here. That's the only reason. It definitely aint for the game lol.

I said most people, not everyone. But way to contradict.

Idk how ppl can get board of madden with this league. For me, I put madden down too around this time cause online is gay and CPU franchise is a joke. But with 20+ user teams every game is a chess match and the offseason was awesome. When I lost to Zona in the playoffs I was pissed at first. Then it started to sink in that every game can be won or loss, and I'm not going to win 15 straight Super Bowls. It actually mattered what I did in the offseason and it was cool to re-craft my team to put up another shot vs Arizona. If he quit, NFC would be in rough shape.

It's awesome how all these franchises get morphed into different ways and every game is different.

yea im in this shit till Grinders is no more i agree crazy shit do happen but at the end of the day its a games and if you aint having fun then i respect that and cant knock that at all but im down

We have advanced to week 6.

Scheduling Deadline: Wednesday 1 PM ET

Advance Deadline: Friday 10 AM ET

Some of you already know this, but I am going to make it official and let everyone know that I am retiring from the league. Urb was texting me about a time to play our game and I had no urge to play the game. I was gonna tell hawk to put me on auto, then I realized that it will prolly be the same way for all the other games and just decided that now is the time for me to retire. It's been fun as it always is, but its time for me to move on to something else. I will still be around, but I just won't be playing any games.

Furthermore, I don't think I will ever commish again either. This was the first year where I wasn't a commish of any of EA's football games and I loved it. I will not be going back. Someone else can take over full time commish of grinders or yall can split it or whatever. At this point, I really don't care. I just know I won't be doing it. Also, I'm not doing it cause there is a real good chance I'm not getting madden next year. Unless I see some significant improvements to gameplay next year, I will be skipping it.

I had a long drawn out rant that I was gonna go on, but decided this more concise and to the point post would be better. Anyway, its been fun. I'll see most of you around in the chatbox or something. For the rest, PEACE.

Take your name off commish on the website and give it to its rightful ownership, JHawk

Oh shit we got a kiss ass in this league lol

Trade me your 1st when you do.

Joker, Urban, and TJ; would the three of you please take on a role as the enforcers of the stat padding/running up the score rule. You three will be a committee to rule on whether somebody should be punished for violating either of those rules and decide on their penalty if you feel it should be different than the stated penalty. If any of you are implicated, OrganizedChaos, would you be willing to serve as the alternate?

Thanks, guys.

I am ready to be involved in this league as a leader, I think anyone who has played me knows I play straight and would rule fairly against such acquisitions like stat padding etc. I haven't missed a game and am pretty active on the boards(power rankings).
