Heads up, going to make the official PS3 league thread either tomorrow or Wednesday, depending on the speed of feedback reception.

I figure the deadline to sign up would be by release day (Sept 11th), which is when the league(s) will be created on the EA servers so you guys can login. That'll give us several days to do the team selection draft(s), which honestly shouldn't take that long. On the Friday, September 14th, the league will be active and you'll get your randomized roster, giving everyone two days to overlook their player personnel and make any adjustments they see fit. The season will officially begin on Monday, September 17th. So from the 11th to 16th, it can be considered pre-season to get you guys use to the game.

One bad news I have is that there isn't custom slider settings this year. So we can only work with the skill level and play type.

These are my preliminary league settings. Give me your feedback, especially on the settings highlighted in red.

Skill Level - All-Star
Play Style - Hardcore
Period Length - 5-10 Minutes
- Personally I'm leaning on 10 since 5 minutes is too short for games that actually matter. Is 10 to lengthy though? Perhaps a happy medium of 7?
Overtime - Continuous OT
- considering we don't have to care about player fatigue here like in real life, we can pull this off and make team execution decide the game

Season Round length - 1 league week per 2/3 days
- This would be fairly fast paced, meaning there's a chance there will be a great number of simmed and Human/CPU games, but it would allow for us to have upwards to possibly 4 or more seasons this year. With a 2 day pace I estimate a season would be completed within 3 months, where as 4 with 3 day.
Transaction Approvals - Daily
- I considered doing this per week advancement, so players rosters would generally be consistent for all 5 games, but with injuries that can contradict that concept.

Playoff Round Lengths - 3 Games
- Or would 5 be better? 7 I think would be too long.
Playoff Overtime - Continuous OT

Let me know what you guys think.
