Season 2: Playoffs: Conference Championships

How boring is this? The Wildcard rounds featured one user upset, and one CPU upset. Everything else has gone according to expectations with higher seeds taking care of business. Where's the drama and excitement? Maybe I should've let ChampJezusBailey back in the league to pester everyone into childish bickering. Yeesh.

With that said, good luck to you teams chasing your Super Bowl dreams.

If you missed the trade sub-forum, look for a major shaking up of a couple divisions. The Bears are expecting to hold the #1 pick in the coming draft, and the Jaguars would allow this by picking up four additional picks in the next three years to help patch their porous roster as quickly as possible.

To everyone else waiting for the league to advance forward, I'm sorry, I was hoping the Super Bowl would've been played by now, but that was too much to ask for it looks like.

Ghost and Squirrel, get a time set. Preferably as early as possible on Thursday so that we can hopefully get both the NFC Championship and Super Bowl played tomorrow night.

This is absurd. If you can sense my frustration, please take note. When I ask for the simple task of offering your availability for the draft and I get five responses, even after sending direct messages to do it, it's disheartening. Life doesn't evolve around Madden obviously, but when most of you are apathetic about putting in any form of effort, what's the point for me to keep running it?  It takes less than 30 seconds from any browser (laptop, phone, PS), to get to the forum.  And that's without it being bookmarked and having to google the site.

This extreme apathy is when shit starts to fall apart for a league.  As we've seen twice in the last five years, if I don't run it, nobody else is able/willing to step up. 

When the league's too full, we get trash players that people hate playing against and can't schedule with. When there's not enough members, the CPU isn't fun enough for people to play against. What's the perfect balance?  I'll end my rant now. But I can't keep trying to drag your asses in here to let us know when you're free to do something and then hear how you missed something after the fact.

ghost is AWOL. hasn't replied to my topic here, hasn't replied to my messages on PSN

If no response by 6 pm Central, Squirrel is granted an auto-pilot game. Ghost's PSN activity is private, so there's no way to see when he was last active.

I'm here - just wasn't available last night to play. I posted in our scheduling thread, but I'm open all night tonight to play. In the event I win, I'm 100% able to play the Super Bowl after as well.
