Bump!  I still need some responsible adult players.

See my post below about my adult league. We are not top 100 or anything, but we've been inside the top 200. League is Old Dudes. You are welcome to join if you're a responsible adult.

.. also open to merge, if you join us. We have 8 to 10 spots open, so we can absorb a smaller league if it's the right fit.

I have a league that sounds just like yours. You are where I was 2+ years ago. We now have about 20 members, a bench league for users needing extended breaks, and were ranked as high as about 195 this year before we started melting a little. I think you'll find it very tough to fill a league with quality adults. I know what you said above, but I do invite you and your men to merge. As the larger and higher ranked league, we'd prefer you join us. You would all become family. Just throwing it out there, because I think we'd all benefit. We are the original league named "Old Dudes"

I started Old Dudes 3 seasons ago and we've become a casually-competitive league ranked inside the top 200 at times. No childish BS here, no scoring quotas and a great family of adults working together. Laid back, but well organized and everyone shows up for every drive because they are dedicated.    I have some places open as I gear up to have a full league for next season. It's the last league you'll ever search for.    Give me your username, ovr, and your team so I can find and invite you or search and apply for "Old Dudes" and we are the one raked around 270 right now.    Thanks, Will

EA would love for us to think it's our player, like my Cam QB who fumbles on his own 4 of my last 5 drives, so we spend cash to upgrade the players. But, they've made the "issue" waaaaay to obvious.

Yes. Fumbles everywhere. 2 of mine have been fumble - 6s in LvL. I've fumbled 3 of my last 4 drives, having fumbled 0 times, 0!, before yesterday. I also had an incomplete pass skid across the ground and picked up by the D. Film called it an interception. Wow. That's one way to make the game more exciting. Nice work, EA.

I talked to the useless EA support, which blamed it on programming. Well, yes, but fix it. I worked to upgrade gingerbread CJ2K as well and after my work he is actually DOWNgraded. It made him actionable, so that's an upgrade I suppose. Oh, and they offered me a gold and silver player pack as a bribe, which I told them wasn't worth the time to open it; keep it.

Only CJ2K loses his boosts and that's an EA mistake. Sadly, I got burned on that "upgrade" too and basically worked to downgrade my CJ2K. Others keep boosts.
