Deuce McAllister? Really? Haha.

Surely Reggie Bush or Pierre Thomas would be better? Or Mark Ingram.

I remember playing with McAllister on Madden 08 haha.

Good choice of team though haha

Ye man, i randomly bought madden 05 on gamecube, ran through the teams and randomly chose one to play, and that was the saints! At the time Deuce was the main RB/ HB < (not great with the positions lol).

RB (Running back) is a blanket term for HB (half-backs) and FB (full-bacls).

And yeah that's cool :P Old school madden is peng!

Just came across this thread. I'm a Patriots fan as well and have been since I started watching in 2006. The main reason I started supporting them was because they had "England" in their name :smile:

Now I'm a avid supporter, will be involved in this thread more and more once the season gets underway.

and i was thinking you can create custom leagues on there so if enough people on here are up for it could make one on there to make the banter even more if/when the season starts

This may be a really stupid question but how does fantasy football work? I know you pick players and what they do in games earns you points but do you pick like every player in every position. Seems like a bit of a ballache if that's the case.

not every position, there are slightly different rules you can alter but in general

1QB
2 RB
3WR
1 Kicker
1 Team Defence
1 TE

as well as some substitutes you keep on the bench and can swap in and out of your team, but you have to do a 'draft' as people arnt allowed the same players, you score points for things like yards gained, touchdowns, your defence holding a team under a set amount of points or your defence getting a sack fumble or interception....equally if one of yours fumbles or is intercepted or sacked you lose some
