    Hmm, that's a good start. I wonder if it gives him the option to grant one team or the other a victory/forfeit win, or if it's completely random. Also, I wonder if it allows him to grant an extension on particular games.

    MP - any insight here?

    Can't you cancel though or is it up to MP now? I did have Williams, Johnstone and Eiland (sp?) for Asomugah, Harris and Johson (TE).

    Wasn't a terrinle deal, I'd give you Mixon if you really wanted, but thats too bad...

    Nah, I can decline the trade. It isn't all up to MP, as I am the player here declining the deal. I never said it was a terrible deal, but I don't really want it.

    First come first serve. You just select a team from a list of the available teams.

    Very cool. Normally only the admin has the ability to add news and top stories but I went ahead and allowed everyone to edit them all. You can also do polls if you guys like.

    Any clue on how long it takes the trades to be reflected on your roster?

    Was just reading a bit about the leagues on the xbox forums, apparently trades arent working yet.

    Also people are complaining about a few things regarding leagues, for one you cant replace an owner if he quits. Everyone he plays gets a win but there are no stats for those games. Also schedules are randomly generated so you cant do the format that the NFL uses playing division rivals twice, etc.

    Seems they got everything looking pretty but missed alot of simple things. Hopefully they can be fixed.

    If they don't fix it this year, at least we'll have scoreboards here to do it up right.
