Funny shit coming to this these days. Probably one of the older guys but also one of the two or guys that's under 250 as well. For reference I'm in group 5 there are 25 people per group.

Also 8-10 people of age are drink or stoned.

Most the underage kids are just stoned.

Almost everyone here smells of smoke or cologne to cover up the weed smell.

Should paint a pretty good picture of my surroundings.

Carry on.

lol
Was it worth it?

Now that I am a little older, I just order it online and download it to my system.
Or I use GameFly and have it sent to me.
No more waiting in lines for me.

Yeah. It was, but just thought it was pretty funny to see "my peers". LOL

I played until 4am. Some cool game modes this year. I particularly like the Ultimate Draft.

Basically, you pick your head coach. Your team is to be built around his O and D playbook. Then there are 15 rounds of picks. You are presented with 3 cards to pick from and your current roster is shown so you can decide what position you want to improve while keeping in mind that you want to grab players that fit the system you initially selected.

The final pick you are presented with 3 Legends. I got Terrell Davis, Walter Jones, & Ronnie Lott again you need to pick someone who best fits your system.

Once the draft is done you have some challenges to play with your team. You play the CPU and need 3 or 4 wins to advance while only allowing one loss. Im one game in so far in this version and love it. There is also a H2H version of this as well that id love to try out.

As far as the main version of the game, it plays very smooth. There is a high emphasis on the passing game and the receiver vs DB interaction. the presentation is fantastic. the menus took me minute to get used to but by the end of the night it was pretty intuitive.

Im off this PM so ill be trying out some additional modes and posting my thoughts if any one cares or wants to get on to play.

Whoa... so you matchup with someone online, you both go through this random draft process at the same time, then play the game? That sounds insanely fun!

I think that's the premise, Reign. Or it may have the option to use your pre-drafted team against another user. Almost like the MUT but with a few more restrictions on building the team.

Another thing that happened was the night before i played MAdden 15 and i did the Bo Jackson Challenge. Once i booted up the MUT on Madden 16 i acquired a Bo Jackson RB card. Hes rated 80 OVR but plays well above that. Sure beats the scrubs you have to select from when you first boot up MUT.

I think they're doing that in fifa this year too. Sounds quite fun

I'll never stop freakin' playing. That is incredibly awesome if that's how it works.

It's a really similar concept to section of play of Hearthstone, in which you build your deck by selecting 1 of 3 random cards... so I could see how they use that kind of concept.

The only reason why I don't think it works that way is because with an NFL team, you'd need to go through 53 selections before playing a 30-40minute game. In FIFA, it's a little better, needing just 23 selections before playing a 15 minute game.

Definitely excited to hear more on this concept... keep the info coming!

Very cool... just researched the info myself...

It's called Draft Champions.
https://www.easports.com/madden-nfl/new ... -champions

So you get a stock team with a set offense/defense based on the coach that you choose (of 3). From there, it's a 15 round draft in which each of the 3 players present some kind of upgrade over your base roster. Once your draft is done, you can start the series of games. You can either choose to play solo, with 4 games against the computer, or you can enter Head-to-Head....

Players looking for a real challenge can jump into a Head-to-Head draft. While drafts happen independently, taking on the best players in Madden NFL 16 will provide the ultimate test for your drafting skills. Win four games in a row to become a true Draft Champion!

The number of games in each event are relatively low in order to preserve the “Madden Fantasy in a Night” feel for Draft Champions. Even if you get knocked out, you get to jump right back in and draft another team.

We couldn’t be more excited to get Draft Champions into your hands to see how we answered the question, “What does Madden do with Fantasy Football?”

Your Draft. Your Team. Your Championship.

..and yes... this is in FIFA 16.

I'll be divorced by 2016.

They totally stole this idea from Hearthstone. I'm watching a FIFA preview on this and it requires a 'token' to enter the mode and it can only be acquired by coins in FUT or buying in packs. That's the exact same system that Hearthstone uses for getting into their tournament mode. With every win, you get greater rewards in their tournament.

/geek mode off

I don't know if it's the same setup in Madden, but I'd bet that it is.

I look forward to drafting and playing against you Reign and the rest.

Should be fun.

I picked it up, haven't played yet.

Is this available on the PS store? And if it is, is it a full version with all modes on it?

i bought it, played 4 games. seems smooth. very similar to last years version.

Yes, this is where I pre-ordered mine this year.
$59.99 total, no tax, for the full version.

Nice!! Thanks JD.. I'll be ordering it from my phone at lunch so it can be done when I get home.

I pre-ordered it the other day and I just used the app to push the download this morning, so like you, when I get home, it will be there.

Why cant you? You can do the draft stuff and play offline. You may be able to temporarily change your region and play online.

Id probably out exploring instead but technically you could if you were going to be there long enough.

I didn't have to change my region when I was out there to play online. But there is enough stuff to do there you might never unbox the PS4. Go to some of the temples and monuments. Definitely go to the shopping areas, not the malls, but the ones on the side of the road where you can haggle down prices. Have Won and American cash with you.
