Madden on Facebook

Anybody play Madden Superstars? I don't actually play the game but what I love about it is the Predictor which is basically a confidence pool type game.

Its like a virtual card game, with the cards being players and they have overall ratings. You field an entire team, every position (except punter) and play games against the computer or friends. The games are simulated and for every scoring play it'll show a screenshot of two random teams doing something (handoff, catch, interception, field goal). You gain experience points and money from games. Experience goes towards your level (like COD) and you can use money to upgrade your stadium, buy card packs to try and get better players, or buy other random stuff.

You use "tickets" to be able to play a game in a season. They replenish over time and by gaining a level, and you never get more than 5.

The weekly predictor was the funnest part of the whole thing. Picking NFL games against friends and then bragging about who did better.

Just another one of those facebook games that you'll waste time on. I quit after week 4. Still do the predictor though.

The actual game was amusing for a little while but as HighJump said it's just a time and money waster. I only do the predictor now. Are you familiar with how a confidence pool works? I ran one at Motorola with 80-100 people in it every week. Luckily they allowed me to work on it during working hours.
