Forums:
All members must sign up for the forums. We will make important announcements here and also it will help keep the league strong and running smoother if everyone knows whats going on and is chatting with each other in the forums. It makes for a better league that will be able to have many successful seasons hopefully.
Do Not:
Run up the score, drop extra men back on punts, abuse onside kicks, use glitches or nanos. Disputes must be brought to the attention of a commissioner. First violation will result in a player suspension. Second violation will get you removed from the league.
Games:
Everyone must play 2 games per week. The weeks run from Sunday thru Saturday.
No "cheesing", we want real NFL style action. Be creative with playbooks and try to limit use of cheesy "money" plays.
No playing Bump and Run every down.
No spreading the line and doing the outside rush every down
No stacking the line every down.
Mix up your playbooks, dont be cheesy. Abusing any certain type of play is considered cheese. Use good judgement and if your opponent brings it up during play, respect him and adjust your play or you will be penalized.
4th Down:
Can go for it anytime its 4th and 1 or inches. Can go for it on 4th regardless of yardage when inside your opponent`s 40 yard line. If trailing late in the game (4th quarter) you can go for it when you think it's reasonable.
Substitutions:
No unrealistic substitutions.
The only positions that can be rotated:
Any offensive lineman can play any of the 5 line positions
Any defensive lineman can play any of the 4 line positions
Linebackers can be rotated, but can only be placed at a defensive end position if a substitution package allows
Running backs and fullbacks can rotate
Safeties can rotate
Motion:
If you put a receiver into motion pre-snap, you must wait until he is set in position before you hike the ball on a pass play. You dont have to wait for them to set on running plays.
Hurry Up Offense:
You are only allowed to do this if:
a) you are down by a 21 or more throughout the game
b) there is under 2 minutes left in the half
c) you are losing in the 4th quarter
Not accepted anytime else in the game
Defense:
You are allowed to manually move only the defender you will use at the snap of the ball.
Call a defense that is appropriate to the offensive situation. Example: No calling Dime or Quarter defenses against a 2-WR set. The only exception is on 3rd or 4th down plays.
Goalline can only be used in short yardage situations (3 yards or less), or within 10 yards of the endzone.
Do not stack the defense on every play.
Scouting Reports:
Under your personal settings on Madden online, you can set to receive a game report from EASports. This can be your scouting report. If you choose to add any additional information, you may.
Forfeit Rule:
Game challenges must be posted in the forums. If we notice that one user does not reply to the challenges, or misses scheduled games without legitimate reason, he will be given the loss. Exceptions to this will be very limited. Please post in the challenge forums if you cannot make the game on time.
The stat recording for forfeited games will be:
14-0 score
Winner:
250 yards passing, 90 yards rushing, 2 total TDs
Loser:
150 yards passing, 60 yards rushing
No Sacks, INTs, Fumbles, or Tackles for Loss
Stats can be spread out as each player feels fit, but cannot all be given to one player (rushing yards can't be given to one RB, receiving yards can't all go to one WR). Each starting defender on the two teams can record 3 tackles.
Play fair, play straight, play hard. Get your games in on time, report your stats, stay active, and show good sportsmanship to all opponents. Trash talk is cool as long as it doesn't get personal. Good luck everyone, and welcome to The Nation.
