Running Madden NFL 10 franchise thread

Figured we should probably stop mucking up the other thread, eh?

So how's the draft going to work? Do you have to hit a button, Storm?

 

And the get help link at the bottom of the page just takes me to the top of the page. Fucking morons.

 

Ok, so how does this draft thing work? I'm confused.

 

It works poorly. That's all I got.

 

Seriously, Persia, I'm very confused by it. You can go to this link: http://www.easportsworld.com/en_US/madden/franchise/individualFranchise?prefs=fId%3D159671# to get into the draft window, but there's no way to sort the players by overall rating, so it's a really shitty way to draft.

 

Tried the link, but it keeps telling me I don't have an account at eaports.com when I do. Frustrating.

 

Ah, you have to link your Windows Live ID to it to make it work. It should be the same Windows Live ID that's linked to your Xbox account.

 

Just close out of the popup window and sign up for one.

 

I might just try to do this with the XBox and computer at the same time. Put them together and it's a decent interface. But I'm off to bed now (stupid golfer doing shit at 8 a.m.) hopefully EA has magically made this better by morning.

 

Haha, you could give EA 5 years and it'd still be the same. I'm off to bed too, but will check in tomorrow -- probably later on, though. We're launching the new site tomorrow, and by "we" I mean "me and me alone."

 

I can unpause the draft at any time. Should I wait until we're all online together so we can actually pick our guys or just let it run?

 

Isn't there a way to set a time limit for each person? I think I read something about that. Definitely don't just let it run though.
