With much excitement, I want to announce some news to the LM community regarding the future path that the leagueManager initiative will be taking!

Where has LeagueManager taken us?

Over the past year and a half, LeagueManager has grown from a simple, 1 league setup that was built for my own online franchise management into a tool that is supporting the league management and statistical needs of thousands of Madden NFL 12 gamers. We have synced statistics for over 1.5 million online franchise games and over 30 million individual player stat lines. Tens of thousands of team rosters have been managed and countless league transactions have been pushed through the LeagueManager software. From the beginning, the vision was to create an online franchise environment that truly gave the gamer an experience that was much deeper than using the out of the box game mode alone.

Where is league gaming headed?

Without a doubt, Madden NFL 12 has been the most successful and enjoyable Online Franchise experience that has been achieved yet through the Madden franchise. From my own numbers and my correspondence with EA SPORTS, baseline usage statistics were as high as they have ever been. The entire process has both been incredibly rewarding and eye-opening for myself. I've seen this league gaming community evolve virtually right before my eyes, and it has led to many realizations regarding the extreme growth potential and challenges that this type of service demands. League gaming is my passion. For the past 3 years, I have lived in this world and I have dedicated an incredibly huge portion of my life to furthering this initiative.

Where is LeagueManager headed?

It is that passion that drives me to announce that LeagueManager and the entire team will be joining Dynasty League Gaming, Inc. (http://dlgnow.com) in an effort to provide the league gaming community with a suite of tools spanning multiple games with the intent to completely revolutionize the way this niche in the gaming industry develops. Over the course of the next 6-12 months and beyond, we will be working to create an ever evolving user-driven community platform that integrates with your favorite league-based sports titles in a way that links an expansive network of league gamers together with easy to use community building tools. We have a precise and professionally organized mission plan that looks to remove the hurdles of entry into the league gaming sphere; an environment that allows both the hardcore and casual gamer to join and even manage their own community from the ground up.

What does this mean for my league?

The most important thing we want to make sure that we get across with this initiative is that you will not be losing anything that you currently have on leagueManager. To the contrary, you will now be receiving greatly enhanced support, new and exciting content and feature development all supported by a professional team of developers, community support staff and league gaming experts that all share your intense passion for this game mode. The experience will remain 100% free to you, and you will never be forced to buy in or pay for anything. The current LeagueManager platform will stay live, and as we gradually develop and refine LeagueManager functionality into our new flagship platform on DLG, you will be offered the opportunity to seamlessly transfer all of your league information and upgrade to the new system.

I greatly appreciate all of the support and feedback that the LeagueManager community has given me over the past year and a half, and I am beyond excited to embark on this enhanced mission with Dynasty League Gaming. The level of quality innovation and services that this professional and passionate approach to online league gaming is capable of bringing to the community will revolutionize the way you manage your leagues, and we are reaching out to YOU as the experienced league gamer to give us the feedback and support to make this a win-win situation for all.

As we all know, here at leagueManager we like to use our vast wealth of statistics to help see trends in both the Madden world and the NFL world. Using the statistics from real in-game matchups for Madden NFL 12 Online Franchise, we have pulled out the game results from all matchup occurances linking the divisional round playoffs opponents.

Check out, according to their Madden counterparts, how these games are looking to play out this playoff weekend and give us your feedback in the comments section.
note: These predictions are driven off of the leagueManager database of synced statistics that has data on over 1 million online franchise games played for Madden NFL 12.
