I play every year. This year, though, due to travel issues I missed the draft and was auto-picked. Now I have been in this same league for over 10 years, won it once, will likely finish last this year.
I signed up for a team on ESPN but again, the draft was at a time when I could not play it, so I have yet to sign up for a team where I actually drafted who I wanted.
But Yes, I love to play We tried years ago to do one here but only made it one season, there were few of us it seemed that had time to play.
I coach my own league in Madden Mobile. It’s a bit different, however a lot of the same principles. We are doing great so far in this season, already up to Gold III tier.
I was the token loser. I picked my teams mostly by emotion! LOL (yes, I'm a woman)
I don't post on the team message boards I used to, so I've lost those connections.
Sometimes I miss it, but the losses did get demoralizing!
Haha, your post reminded me of the Cheers episode where they are filling out the football pool and Sam tries to impart some wisdom to Diane (even though she won last week and he hasn't won in years).
Sam: Bears against the Dolphins. Now, we have a home field advantage, which means that you gotta...
Diane: Bears
Sam: The Bears? Just like that?
Diane: Of course Sam, a bear against a dolphin? Come on!
Well, it looks like there is some interest. I don't know if we have enough to make a league - maybe next year.
Too bad a couple of you had to auto-draft. I don't know anyone who had a good year with an auto-drafted team.
We have a 10 team league and I was #10. Didn't think Kelce would fall to me, but he did. So, I had to take him and change my plan on waiting on a TE and QB.
My starters in a .5 PPR league:
QB - Trevor Lawrence
RB - Bijan Robinson
RB - Jaymyr Gibbs
WR - DK Metcalf
WR - Cooper Kupp
TE - Travis Kelce
Flex - Javonte Williams
I heard on the radio that Kupp may have to go on Injured Reserve and the Rams want to tank this year so they can get that QB from USC.
I haven't played Madden in over 10 years. I used to play the (bleep) out of that game. I was actually a game tester for that game and others for Electronic Arts in a previous lifetime. Met a lot of athletes like Roger Craig, John Taylor, Barry Sanders, A-Rod and even Muhammad Ali. Also met James Brown (the football studio guy) and he was really cool.
What we did on here years ago was to create a league (I think I set it up) Ising NFL or Yahoo or one of the free programs where the league awarded prizes (although I never saw one) at certain times. No money involved.
We had a rule that your team name had to be the same as your screen name, so that we would all know who is who.
My team for examples had to be the LargeKingCats....
Now we made it a season but after that, it fell apart. It is difficult sometimes to find time to keep up with it. I have been in the same YAHOO league (free) with the same people more or less for the past 10 years, and I missed the draft this year. So I am looking at last place, even with adding and swapping a few players.
I never play for money, only for fun. And it is fun to play.

As for Madden football, I am so old that I had the first one ever that ran on a PC using a floppy disc.
The program allowed you to design your own plays from scratch, then use them in a simulated game. The program had enough AI to read plays, so the same play stopped working after the 4th or 5th time.
The last Madden we had in the Cat's House was for Playstation 3 years ago, not the same as it was, more now a Video game.
But still popular with the kids of all ages.
