We've got a great, close group of guys who have mostly been together since way back to the start of Madden 25 in late 2013. It's an active community that stays connected via the GroupMe app. I'm lucky enough to have met a bunch of people I consider great friends thanks to ML16. We're sim-style and mostly made up of 21-35 year olds; no h2h silliness here.
If you'd like to be a part of a great community and will be an active, long-term member of the league, feel free to comment, email me (ncarnoldjr@gmail.com), or shoot me a message on reddit (username nbomb220). Our subreddit is http://reddit.com/r/ml16 if you want to check it out.
We're in week 11 of season one. Open teams are the Bears, Lions, Panthers, Saints, Giants, and Eagles.
