A comment by DCR in the Madden thread got me thinking. I'm going to play my franchise this year one game a week, along with the team. I'll play it, post the stats and general breakdown of what happened. Then we'll see how close to reality it is. I will only play one game a week (regular season only).

I already played the first game, and won 24-17. However, I will restart this and roll with the updated roster when it comes out before the season starts (no Chike or Ross, etc.)

Is this something you guys might be interested in reading? From my end, I think it will make my franchise more fun, drawing it out in real time.

I think it's a cool idea...but, I like Kumites so take my approval with a grain of salt...

I like it. I have been entertained to no end by your NCAA campaign. :thumbup:

I also think you should slide down the All-Madden settings to make it very realistic! ;)

I'm thinking of replacing the real Cardinals season with your season. can you please post highlights, and where can we buy digitized merchandise? I really want a D-Dogg digital jersey.

Can I be the Dave Pasch of Fake Cardinals Season 2K7?

edit: we could broadcast the games using Jay's radio show

Ok, that's enough interest for me. I'm doing it.

I'll fiddle with the sliders to make it as realistic as I can. I'll also bench players if they are hurt in the real world.

Sweet! I will get the digital jersey company to make my catalog.

Highest form of flattery, Ken. I just wish so desperately that I could be like you....

/runs off crying

Now you're mocking me?

You want to be disrespected at every turn?
You want to be the laughing stock of AFSN?
You want people to burn you in effigy, while chanting anti-dotKen slogans?

You can have it!

Umm...I think I already have 1 & 2, but when burning me in effigy, they don't chant anti-dotKen slogans...otherwise, I'm good to go!

Real time too? I don't think I have even played a whole Madden game in actual real time...

Hmmm...real time. Interesting. I don't think it would be realistic though, given I'd pull off too many plays since playcalling is much easier than in real life. I'll probably play 5 minute quarters, but I'll look into the forums and such because there are always people posting the most "realistic" settings for time and sliders and everything.

I was referring to real time as one game a week in the first post.

ah... that makes sense... I had tried a full 15 minute quarter once and the end game scores would have just been ridiculous so I never played a real time complete game, at least I know that it is normal.
