Looking for people to help create the league in Madden. Comment or message me. PS5 preferred so we can make an online roster, if you have Xbox, I’ll add you to the created franchise!
Love the nfl but idk anything about it what are the major rules differences and who are the good teams to watch?
Im trying to find michigan panther tickets but I cant find any actual information online. The ufl website just says not available, and every other website i look at says something different. I originally heard tickets were going on sale on the 22nd but I havent seen or heard anything. Whats going on?
But we can’t find the usfl or xfl when you pick a sport, is there a different name it goes by?
Since Greg Olsen’s contract with FOX is expiring after this NFC Championship game, who will be the Analyst for the upcoming UFL games in April?
There are a few changes all the Cleveland Browns must have all their players from the 2017 season and plus they must get the same head coach they had when that season begin while the usfl team can get the 2023 players in the the first two quarters and the last two quarters with the 2022 players

So they merged… where will the championship be held? I’m curious to see what it’s going to be like with 8 teams instead of the 16. What’s the chatter on this? Please don’t tell me to go to “X”, I want analysis and reddit is the spot!
To help with the wait time, I’m thinking about looking for and re/watching some games from the previous season of both leagues, in part to keep some excitement flowing and in part to see what to potentially expect come kickoff this March
I personally ended up watching more of the XFL, so looking into some USFL games might be good for me. That said, which games did you guys personally enjoy watching? Lmk and I’ll look into em
*Edit Shipping is kind of high though, my order came out to $19.90!
Thinking about the USFL and XFL markets that were left out of the merger, I noticed that all of the social media handles for the now-defunct teams read UFLBreakers etc… I’m guessing that means that they are on hiatus tentatively and could come back at a later date if stadium situations are worked out with those cities? Thoughts? Say within the next 3-4 seasons, as the league gains a larger following and gains a more stable financial footing, they decide to expand. What teams and cities could/should be brought back? The Stars and Generals are in larger markets and they’d be first on my list. The Sea Dragons coming back to Seattle would make sense to me as well. I don’t get the fascination some have with the Maulers going to Canton. Why does Canton need a team? They’d be by far the smallest market in the league and in a state with two NFL teams. Instead, a future team in Oklahoma would make sense to me and maybe a few west coast teams that would be relatively close to Seattle. Cities like Oakland, Portland and San Diego seem to make the most sense to me.
I understand that stadium contracts probably had a lot to do with which teams they picked, but I still think the teams they selected are dumb.
First of all, 3 Texas teams is stupid. The only justification for this decision is proximity and wanting to keep travel low, which they completely undermined by including DC and Michigan. The New Orleans, Tampa Bay, and Orlando are all much better geographical picks.
They didn’t go with the quality of the team. The Breakers have made the playoffs both years but got cut anyways. Also 2 of the 3 teams that played in the USFL championship so far were cut.
It just feels like the USFL got the short end of the stick in all of this.
My preferred scenario would have been
USFL Division
Birmingham Stallions Memphis Showboats New Orleans Breakers Tampa Bay Bandits (formerly Philadelphia Stars
XFL Division
San Antonio Brahmas Arlington Renegades Houston Roughnecks St. Louis Battlehawks
I know this doesn’t solve the 3 Texas teams issue, but it keeps it regional enough that it shouldn’t matter.
Then, in year 2 or 3, another division can be added, I’m thinking a North Division with the
DC Defenders New Jersey Generals Pittsburgh Maulers Michigan Panthers
And then down the line again, a west division-
Seattle Sea Dragons Vegas Vipers Los Angeles Wildcats Oakland Invaders
Hypothetically you hope you get picked up down the line by the nfl and we have a team for every nfl franchise, but this is what’s been running through my head at the moment.
What do you think is going to happen to Canton? They are selling tickets but no team.
I feel like they missed out on a huge opportunity. If they kept all the teams, then they could one day be on par with the nfl in the way teams go. Both USFL and XFL had 8 teams, and if they both kept all their teams, that would be 16 teams, giving them the chance to one day add more teams, and then one day be on par with the NFL
Anyone else in Michigan/Metro Detroit wanna go to some games? I'm thinking about getting season tickets to Ford Field for the new season. I'd be down for some hang outs/meet ups/tail gates pre or post games.
