My goal is to try starting a small league. But everyone needs to try playing online before I can even start a sign up thread. I didn't have any online problems last year. Just like most releases (games), the first week or two, the online can be a bit laggy. I plan to play a few games online this week to check out how stable it is. Keep in mind that some of these guys are still playing on a dial up connection. I would try playing against guys here since we all are using a high speed connection. I'll post a sign up thread later this week if there is still interest.
I'm guessing he means PS2 owners but I could be wrong. I can't imagine anyone actually attempts to play via dial-up on any system. I will say that I played several smooth games on the Dreamcast using dial-up. On a side note, I'm game to play a few innings this evening if anyone is interested. No one from the Madden league is busting down my door to play so I expect I'll be available.
