All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host.
Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

Sometimes I wonder how they come up with them... Sometimes they give weak armed QB's super throwing power and other little quirks. I like to go in and tweak things, meaning setting all other teams to zero and Buffalo to 99.
We are rated too low on offense in my opinion, and our dee is 2nd highest in the game.
i like how our d is rated fine ,but our o has improved to at least to a 81,and should be better than the jets overall.i think our overall should be about 83 total.
Our offense has dropped a tab in ratings(Madden)
Our only lineman with a 90 or close to it is Mike Williams and i doubt Moulds is any higher then a 90
My predcitions
-Losman-79
Moulds-90
Evans-83
Parrish- 74
McGahee-90-91
Shelton- 80
Teague C-85
Villariel- 84
Other lineman FA? no cluse how they played last year.
We don't have a TE that is rated higher then 80 so that explains somewhat the dropped O rating.
-------------------------------------------------------
Defense
Kelsay-82
Schobel-89
Adams-92
Edwards-77
Spikes-97
Fletcher-94
Posey-89
Clements-94
Mcgee- 84
Thomas-79
Milloy-92
Vincent-90
imo of course but i notice Posey is always rated high in madden and Schobel gets dissed. I look forward to buying it on PS2 first then PC shortly after the excitement dies down.
*-I wish they would make the attributes mean soemthing. Speed & tackle are the only major ones i look for. Most lineman that are strong will bulldoze regardless of their Pass/run block......I hear QB awareness is fixed with vision thing but what about all the other ratings? The main thing for me is to fix franchise so when you win a game it means something besides just another win. I find myself stat grinding and will risk using a lesser player on a 4th down just to get his stats up for ratings boost. + the draft needs ratings adjustments. I drafted a 85 rated DT with a 23 speed. wtf! He barely moved at all. IMo the game is in motion to be the ultimate franchise experience but it's still aways away.........
why? this team did not put up exactly magical numbers last year and now the only real difference is that we are starting basically a rookie at the QB position and have a worse line (on paper) than last year. I think people are realistic when they are a bit down on the bills. Big Ben was not the norm in the NFL..First year QB's generally do not perform well. that is the facts. Dont get me wrong I think JP has potential but I will also not be shocked if he struggles big time.

It's not that I don't agree that our offense is not really improved over last year; especially given our TE and backup RB situations....but to say that our line, even on paper, is worse than last year I think is flat out wrong.
Do you honestly think Gandy will be worse than Jonas? Significantly? Jonas was not a force at LT by any means. Anderson is a significant upgrade over Smith/Tucker/Pucillo. To me, if anything, on paper our line is better than last year. And really, I am trying to be objective.

It's ultimately about coaching. I hope Mularkey has abondoned the high risk stupid trick play nonsense he embraced last year, like the fake 49 yard field goal that could have lost us the game.
