Xtreme-Football Transition

This message was sent to rolph, hellcat, and rain already. As I got two of them already saying they are willing to go with it as well as a few league members already, I want to see if everyone else would be willing to chip in.

Philly kind of pitched this to me this morning and after thinking about it for a few minutes this actually might be a fantastic move. You guys I'm sure remember Xtreme Football before they started using a subscription service.

http://xtreme-football.net/

The site has massively, massively improved and Philly said when using it in his other league the service was perfect unlike League Manager. Contracts are set and stone without the issue of advancing and the numbers not changing, when you resign players you can submit any amount and years that you want, players can actually decline to resign with you and gives it a more realistic feeling to it, the draft actually works on the website so I wouldn't have to spend hours adding/removing players off of the EA website and you can move draft picks. Basically it's everything we wanted League Manager to be. There aren't any bugs!

Now here's the situation. The contracts would more than likely be changed up so we would have to manually go into each players contract and fix it to match that of League Managers. If we could get each owner to fix their own team's contracts that would be perfect, or just get a select few people that are willing to do it (already had Philly and War ask to help out) and go into each roster and fix it up that would work too.

As for the subscription, these are the deals we can do:

6-Month Subscription for $6.99 per month ($49.94 total)
1 Year Subscription for $5.99 per month ($71.88 total).

We have to pay the total price upfront. Philly suggested that we can use PayPal and ask if members are willing to donate so we can get this running. Honestly the 6-Month would be perfect as the fee would end right when Madden 13 is released and if we decide to try elsewhere we can. Philly and GG have also already said they would pitch in money so that would be at least $20 or more up front already. I'm pretty sure we can get other members to pitch in a little as well and could easily get this thing up right after the Super Bowl. To donate you would have to have a PayPal account with either a credit, debit card or bank account linked to it.

I just want to know if you guys would be up for it and dealing with the contracts would be our only issue we would have to worry about. We can still use this forums here and just use XFN like we do for League Manager. Even that, the forums can be integrated into the XFN website as a bonus. We would really never have to bother with the EA Website ever again as XFN handles everything. If you want more info you can check out the URL above as it gives a tutorial and lists each feature.

Want to say this lastly, this is NOT going to be an issue like we had with DLG. This site I know for a fact already is legit and as mentioned we wouldn't have to change forums or anything.
