NDL Premier League
- 16 teams
- For the launch, the team selection will be limited to a minimum OVR rating that would include roughly the top 25 teams.
- 6 week schedule
- 3 home-away matches open per week for 5 weeks, with 1 final week of catchup
- Stats will be tracked on NDL league site (I've got a not out to Holmey)
- Champions League starts with group play for weeks 3-4, semi-finals in week 5, championship in week 6
- 1st season CL will be all 16 teams, with weeks 2-3 being group play, week 4 quater-finals
- Top 8 teams (see below) qualify for the Champions League
- Top 8 teams determined by standings from the previous season + weekly bonus points
- Teams may earn 3 bonus points PER week (weeks 1-5) for writing a small team recap for their squad and posting it in the Weekly Recaps forum. These points ONLY apply to CL qualification for the following season.
- I'm still considering a system for holding onto a team or putting limits on the number of times they can be kept.

This is a large overview of what I have in mind. My goal is to prevent the issues in year's past of leagues starting and stopping or fading off. I'm aiming for a setup that continues for a full year... with very little downtime. I realize that we may need to start at 8 or 12... and that the system has to be flexible enough to expand to 20 or 24 (dream big!).

I will likely look to have someone help with running the league, as much for keeping up the immersion or handling any site issues, as anything else.

Count me in for any league you would run, sounds great.

i really think we need to recruit some lobby guys we play or maybe guys from other leagues. we can run successful leagues, its just a matter of getting enough guys so when we lose a couple we don't fall apart

I'll help with running the league, I've gotten quite familiar with setting up/handling the NDL2 site for FIFA

I only know of one guy, and he's a no go because Corey is his boss and Corey can't have him know how much work his boss doesn't do everyday.

We were just talking about video gaming friends.

If we're talking about all friends then... Nope I still have just one, Corey.

Thanks Jason. I'll let Holmey know to give you access. He setup the basic stuff for me today. Much appreciated. I was going to text you but I was off and on calls most of the day.

I already have full commissioner access for that league.

EDIT: You created a new one, I see. I digress. Why ddin't you just wipe out the old one?

Didn't want to step on any toes. I feel more comfortable starting fresh so I can learn how it all works.

The demo for FIFA 14 releases on PS3/PS4 tomorrow after a store update.

The download size on PS4 is a bit over 3 GB. Make sure you leave it in standby and grab it when the store has it, it'll be ready when you get home.

Post by **shel311** » Mon Sep 08, 2014 9:37 pm

Nice!!!

These, you can download website, right? Gonna need to figure that out. C, if so.

Post by **Cnasty** » Mon Sep 08, 2014 9:43 pm

Yes.

Or the Playstation app on your phone.

Keeping with my technological failures theme of the night, this made me think, I've always had my ps4 set to auto download while in standby mode but every time there's an update, it doesn't download and I have to do it when I fire it up.
