Season 1: Week 1
Blah blahblahblah blahbity blah blah MADDEN. Blah blah blah blah MADDEN. Blah blah blah blah MADDEN. Blah blah blah blah MADDEN.

Welcome to the thunderdome, the hurt locker, the corner of shame and manly tears. Lies, there's no such thing as manly tears you pussy.

MADDEN season is the reason my hand touched your face.

We enter this new Madden season with what is perhaps the most balanced game of virtual gridiron in the last 5+ years of the game (since MADDEN 10 maybe?). We've got the deep ball, the shallow outlets, power running, speed running, and all manners of defense on display allowing for major blowouts and low scoring defensive affairs. To find success, you'll have to define your style, and have enough depth that you're not a one trick pony (because. Rules. And stuff). Also luck, and the favor of the MADDEN Gods, both the old and the new, will help.

Man I keyed your car. Is that too far?

We have old faces (Hello Commando, Posky, Capeman, Mission, LL Cool K, Squirrel, Ani, and Havoc). We have returning faces (Long time no see illmatic, Demon, and Plusch).  We have new faces (Welcome Lethal, OTP, yoscotty and potential others). We may even have people with no faces. Oh wait, those are paper bags, they might just be ugly.  If you haven't already, introduce yourself, or your owner's persona.  We've heard from [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] and [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] already. Who else is bringing their armchair expertise to pursue a Super Bowl championship?

I'll get inside that cranium. I'll live there all night long

With the capabilities of the PS4, stream every game, even CPU games, and archive them on twitch. If you have a YouTube account, export it to YouTube and we'll have different AALoA playlists.

Here's a guide for you new guys, and a great refresher for longtime members:
Spoiler:

It's MADDEN season. Go start a twitter war

I put a lot of work into this league (I know it doesn't seem like it). It takes time, patience, and sacrifice. Seriously, way more time is put into keeping the forum up to date and making sure things run relatively smoothly and fairly then I'd like to admit. And I do it for free, all for the love of MADDEN. I don't serve you. Nobody here owes anyone else anything. But we're all here for the same reason, to have fun with MADDEN and geek out. The more you put into this league, the more we're all going to get out of it. Seriously, if you just play your games and do nothing else, the experience gets stale. Get creative. Share your thoughts and highlights. The PS4 Share Factory is actually easy to use if you have video clips and saved images to put together into a highlight reel. You need a USB stick to export to YouTube for now though. Twitch highlights are very easy to cut as well.

Also, if you find something particularly funny or entertaining, give the post a little '+' in the top right corner of the post. It lets the poster know their creativity isn't going unnoticed.  If someone is trolling hard, there's a minus sign to show you take offense to the nonsense (but remember, it's not a disagree button).

I will write the check your face can't cash and make you pay the bills.

We only have a couple user games this week. So you CPU users have to be on point. We won't hold advances for CPU games.

Blah blah blah blah MADDEN.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Game of the Week
Spoiler:
I like to use a music video for each post. Whoever wins Game of the Week, PM me a song you'd like featured in the next advance post.

I'm not going to post long in-depth posts like I normally do each week. There's Destiny to be played and I want to avoid burnout.  So it's imperative for everyone to contribute. After a game, let us know how your spotlight players did. It only takes a couple minutes to give a short recap. Maybe let us know of a defining play or drive or complete screwjob from the MADDEN Gods that led to your demise or triumph.

Question of the Week
Who do you predict to win the Super Bowl in Season 1 if you can't choose yourself?

Do fries come with that shake? C'mon let me see you shake it and shake it and shake it.

I predict Mission to come out on top for Season 1's Super Bowl.

I believe his #1 Seed Chiefs defeat Animosity's Wild Card Rams by 17 points in a shootout.

Chiefs win 21-9 over Titans. Chiefs play ball control with a young qb Bray and horrible offensive line. But the defense shines only giving up 3 points after a bad punt put Titans on the Chiefs own 35. Bray threw a pick 6 for the other Titans TD.

Chicago made it through the preseason with 4 wins and promptly used the momentum to dispatch the Buffalo Bills 31-9 on the lakefront.

Jay Cutler completed his first 9 passes on the day and was nearly perfect.  And Brandon Marshall staked an early claim to the league's receiving leader with 2 TD catches.  The bugaboo of the Bears preseason was their soft run defense, but the Monsters of the Midway were up to task corralling CJ Spiller and Fred Jackson, holding them to only 53 yards combined.

Sammy Watkins struck fear in the Chicago faithful with a 63 yard catch on Buffalo's opening drive, but was locked down for the rest of the game, registering 0 catches afterwards. The Bears defense was aggressive and collected 4 sacks on the day. Two sacks came from newcomer Lamarr Houston, and one from newcomer Jared Allen.
Jeff Demps went to the house untouched, and you can't kick away from him, because Jacoby Ford is arguably more dangerous.

The only remaining games are Vikings vs Rams, Jaguars vs CPU, Panthers vs CPU, and Lions vs CPU.

Is a quick advance possible? I sure hope so, Destiny launches very soon...

Chargers lose to the Cardinals 12-7. Weird game where I didn't score until the fourth quarter, but held them to FGs all game. My D is solid I suppose, but my O sucks. Patrick Peterson picked me off twice. I find the running game much easier this year than passing.

The Rams win over the Vikings thanks to Robert Quinn eating his Destroy AP-o's that morning for breakfast. Both teams didnt look impressive offensively, but the defense was on display.
