*There are some basic League rules for trades.

*Some player's have Kids (wife law: you have time for madden, you have time for us) if an Member pauses the game, give him a shout on messenger Find out whats going on and please allow the member time to deal with what is going on.

* ABSOLUTELY NO GLITCHING, NO QUITTING GAMES, PLAY FAIR, FOLLOW RULES 100%!!!

* Game Recaps
Owners are required to post a recap of their games. One thread can be created for both owners. Feel free to use saved Madden Highlights from your game to help report the story.

*As most players know the use of audibles are accepted in league play, but the use of flipping ones play is cheese. And is an Unacceptable Tactic in Sim Leagues. it is a form of glitching.

* Glitches
No use of glitches. If your opponent uses a glitch, send them a reminder message right away. If they do it again, finish the game anyway and PM me afterwards describing what happened. Both owners will be asked for their side of what happened. Please try to use the highlight feature for proof of being glitched, this will help your cause a lot.

* Any Play book may be used; you do not have to use the play book of the team you control.

*Their has been a Question about the Rocket Catch in Sim Leagues, as it is done in the N.F.L. It is acceptable in Sim League's but can't be used on ever pass play. Mix your play calling up.

* There are no rules set against going for it on fourth down, you know your game better than anyone else just know punting is a pivotal, part to success.

*A no-huddle offense can be run except for after an incomplete pass. In addition, we are not going to allow someone to run it 100% of the time. If this becomes a problem we will address it in privite with that member.

* Onside kicks are only allowed in the 4th quarter if you are losing.

*You can't intentionally drop your QB back 10+ yards just to get receivers open, or to take the ball and run. You can not roll out with the quarterback on every play. HOWEVER!! If you blitz every play don't expect the QB to stay in pocket every time

*SPORTSMANSHIP: -Respect everyone in this league including your opponents. Trash talking is expected and enjoyed, But don't.

* As mentioned in the beginning, the most important thing is to play your games in the true spirit of the game. Everyone here, are real football fans and knows what that means. We also know what good sportsmanship means. We know the game can be emotional
at times, but try to limit any posts that bash your opponent afterwards.

* All owners are required to play the required games per week per the schedule. Please make a solid effort to play your games on time. Slackers make for a crappy league.



Addendums
*Banned Plays: HB Direct Snap Out of Tampa Bays PB. WR Direct Snap also out of Tampa Bay PB.

* Safety Baiting Glitch - Baiting the safety out of zone coverage by rolling out is considered a glitch. For that reason, the following rules apply:
You cannnot: Sprint out of the pocket to the sideline and throw down field to the opposite side.

You can: Throw to the side you've sprinted to and the middle of the field. Basically the furthest hash mark (left/right) from the side of the field you rolled to is the guideline.

*You can: Throw to the opposite side of the field after a rollout to a receiver who is within 20 yds of the LOS.

*If any other issues arise, these rules may be amended to adjust for the problem.

I copied the rules we used in our other seasons and pasted them here. The reason why I made this sticky is because we have other leagues joining us. With that being said, the rules can be open for discussion or modified as needed. If anyone has anything they want to put in here, lets talk about it now instead of later.

Do you guys want to add anything about milking the clock or should we simply just increase the quarters to 6 min so we don't have to worry about that issue?

Here's your chance to see if the rules are acceptable and understood by all.

Thanks for joining our league!

I don't! The rules are set. Every team in the NFl has a fullback that is the starter, now some teams don't play him as much as other teams do. Mike Alstot is fullback Reggie bush isn't a fullback. He may get more snaps than the starting full back. But that's from a twin Halfback set. As the game goes on players get tired. And back up get tired faster.

I have been know to use my HB at FB but ONLY BECAUSE there is a package for it. I don't sub my HB at FB, I only use the package that I am offered. That's considered legal.

exactly. i understand that and dont have a problem with it at all. i was just saying if the rule was eliminated it would eliminate any BS on trying to decide how the hb ended up at the fb position.

Let me get with the other commissioners to get their take on the no-huddle.

I understand now al10c. That makes sense.

Go ask Dex! LOL... :p

I see no huddle offense as being a legit tactic. However there is place and time to use it. For instance, if the defense tries to defend the run with 7 DB's then it might be beneficial for you to run no huddle and not let the defense change their personel grouping. In the NFL, changing your personel on defense can be done by either an incomplete pass or timeout if the offense implemented this tactic. It's also important to note that in the NFL teams don't go to a no huddle offense 100% of the time.

So where do I stand?
We should allow a no-huddle offense to be run except for after an incomplete pass. In addition, we are not going to allow someone to run it 100% of the time. If this becomes a problem we will address it in privite with that member.

can we use lbs at DL if it's a feature within the set. For example in dime or quarters you can choose the lbs at DE feature....in a 34 d alot of the times ur DEs are crappy pass rushers

As long as there is a defensive package for it, I don't have any problems with it. We state in the rules you can't have a LB at DT. From my understanding there is no sub for that so that would be against the rules.

So subbing a DB for a WR is legal??

Absolutly not! The rules state the following:

*Position Changes
This is for setting your DEPTH CHART ONLY - Owners are allowed to use what ever is available to them within the in-game sub screens.

In addition, if we don't allow TE to move to WR, why in the world would be allow CB's to play WR?

In his defense though, I believe it was an honest mistake. Not sure what he was thinking :confused: but he put it out there in the game recap and I didn't hear any complaints from AL10c.

I will had another line in the rules that states "No subs from defense to offense or vise versa."

I will handle this in privite with Ravens10/Crymetyme and get a fair resolution for AL10C.

I broke no rule I put him in at the subs screen, THIS IS ALLOWED. You just added that no defense on ofense rule TODAY, it shows that u edited it and the first time i read the rules it wasnt in there.

So lets get this straight I'm recieving A LOSS because I broke a rule that was just put in today and contradicts a rule already in place. I dont know why you are out to get me, I wont even mention how brown plays both. Let it go I obeyed the rules as of the last time i read them (3 days ago) I WONT DO IT AGAIN. But this isnt fair to inforce it given the situation.

srry bro I drafted Brown in the last LG... after spending a high pick on him it occurred to me I might be breaking the rules so I checked with every1 and was disappointed :( http://www.maddentips.com/forums/showthread.php?t=122839

Anyways your not allowed to put him in at WR but there is a formation package for it... theres one in Oaklands playbook, I will post what formation it is so you can check it out. But if I remember correctly it was kinda ****ty as he would stay in at the slot WR position even if I called an audible (also its kinda sucks cause he has to be your #1 CB for it to work).

First nobody is out to get you. At time's when your players get tired, the game will place a offensive player on defense. Now this occur's due to the fatigue of the players. If you did this by accident then no harm no fowl. But if you used a play that's places a player out of position, then you have cheated and all punishment is fair and just.

I can't for the life of me understand why you seem to have so many hick ups when you play in a Sim League. As I told you before, in the lobby is where you do what you do to win. Not Here!!

You could be so much more, with a little bit of work. Don't fail us!

but book that rule wasn't even in the rules section at the beginning of the game It was added after. The rules clearly state all substitutions from the substitution feature in the game are LEGAL. I'm fine with not doing it anymore but I can't get a loss when I followed the rules that were there at the start of my game. It says subs screen is legal and that's what I used so I didn't break any rules during my game because the rule was added after my game.

Ok, I was trying to address this in a private manner but since you want to try to attack the credibility of the league, I must stand up and fight back. Enough is enough dude. I'm done dealing with your gimicks. If you would of brought this up in the beginning then we could of discussed it like we did when Pigspigs76 asked. We decided to let you back in the league but I also mentioned that you would be on thin ice. So guess what happens in your first league game? Thats right, you try to throw some cheesy substuition of your CB at WR because your other WR's aren't fast enough to throw that post.

If you read my post you will see that I clearly mention:

I will had another line in the rules that states "No subs from defense to offense or vise versa."

I wasn't trying to sneek this rule in so that I could "get ya." I know we didn't have a rule that explicitly stated that but I thought common sense would tell you that if you can't sub a TE at WR then you can't play a defensive player on offense after having him on defense as well.

Next time, I would suggest that you clearly state that this player will be exclusively used on Defense or Offense.

Either take the loss and update the stats accoridingly or get booted from the league.

I have tried to be nice and give you a second chance because it wasn't cystal clear. Its funny though how everyone else understands these oddities except for you!

No offense to anyone, but unless you are going to call this the Madden Dungeon 360 Ironman Football Sim League, then you just cant have defensive players playing offense. Pigs wanted to do that in the league we came over from, but he asked everyone what they thought first and the league voted it down.

To be fair, you guys should get a league wide vote on the issue. But, in a Sim based league, I just don't think that can be allowed. If its Semi-Sim maybe, but not for a Sim based league.

If we were to allow these formation packages, it would be really hard to trick if its legit or not. Skinaman - no offense taken but this guy has a long history of pulling these types of things on us. I am not going to allow it to bring down another season. I will guarantee that!
