So we were able to get a free Commissioner's account on EASports.com's new Fantasy Football service. This allows us to setup a league on EA's new pay fantasy football service, so schild and I decided I should run the league so that we can review the service for the front page. Yes, that means we review something of EA, with all the possibilities that entails. I've set the league up, there's only one catch.
You have to pay $9.99 to EA in order to make a team. I'm inviting anyone here with an interest in Fantasy Football who wants to try out EA's pay service to join us. Unfortunately, that means you have to give EA money. Who is interested?

$10/person or $10/team?
$10/team I'm in.

There is a chance of winning something of value besides bragging rights, isn't there?
I am always down for fantasy football. $10 is 1/20 of what it costs me in my other league, so it is a bargain =)

If there's money/prizes involved I'll do it. If it's just going into EA's coffers, fuck them.

I'll play, if you'll have me. Then, when I'm watching games this fall, I can tell Voodoolily that I'm "playing a game with the guys from F13!"

I guess I can pay my $10 to play, but I cannot win any prizes. So you can take that $10 and shove it up your ass, EA.

Because I never get enough sleep, no matter what time zone we're playing in.  And it's $10 per team, and there is the option to be co-owners of a team. Winner gets some kind of free EA game (FWTW), which still means EA is going to be making PHAT CASH off of this service. |

Winner does not get a free EA game if they live in a state that this is voided in. Read the legal mumbo-jumbo. Bad juju. |

Rght, meant to say that and forgot. Apparently those states are part of the 3rd world. Or EA hates you all.
Of course, they hate us too, but they apparently have no legal standing to dick us around because of it.

So anyone who is interested enough to pay the $9.99, register on EAsports.com and PM me your EASPorts user name and email address. I think that's what I'll need to add you to the Bat Country league.

Count me in again, for both the pay and the free one. I'll PM you my info soon, Haemish.
[edit]Done and PM sent. Why do I get the feeling that I'm the only one who signed up for the pay football league? ;) [/edit]

I'm pretty sure most everyone who's doing one league is doing the other. Haem can confirm that later, of course. :) But it's all for a good cause. If the service isn't as good as the free ones, Haem gets to rip into EA.  |

I signed up about 10 minutes after he posted, so at least you aren't alone! I figure the fishies at Pokerstars could afford to lose an extra $10 to me to cover the cost |

So far I have Way and Soukyan, I just have to add them when I get home. Anyone else?
And yes, if the service is not ORGASM-INDUCINGLY better than Yahoo's free league, I will rip EA a new one.

So I will have to play 2 teams in this one in order to make it up to 4 players, unless someone else wants to take the plunge. I'll make it a points-based league, instead of H2H just to make it fair. I also will not trade with myself. I've gone ahead and set it up, I just need to see what else needs to be done.
Oh, and Fuck EA.
