The first week of the Official Pastapadre Madden 10 Online Franchise is now complete. It was a big success with 15/16 games being played. We ended up going with 11 minute quarters and 15 second accelerated clock which has produced realistic scores and stats.
The biggest issue that has been discovered is there was nothing put into place to deal with the inevitable disconnects that will happen on occasion. Essentially you have a couple options when it does. Replay the game taking into consideration what had taken place previously, boot one of the owners so the other one can play the CPU and win and re-invite the owner after, or sim the game. Without having the option of scraping results or awarding a winner through a sim taking that route is more dangerous but saves the owners what would be a wasted hour.
