this league is for madden 06 on XBOX 360



This will be a competitive league, Trash talk is accepted if not encouraged. We want decent ballers who have enough time on their hands to play 1-2 games a week. We will have 16 total players seperated in 4 divisions with playoffs and a superbowl. I am working on getting some sort of prize or incentive for the winner. There will be no charge to enter but before you enter make sure you are willing to make the commitment to play. If you are interested just click the link above and sign up . We are hoping to get things started by this weekend (01-07-06). Holla

There is no limit to Quarterbacks coming out of the pocket. Can you picture Dan Reeves (Atlanta Falcons coach) telling Michael Vick to only scramble 8 times and just sit there and get sacked if no1 is open? Well i can't picture it..Scramble as you please!



Roster Breakdown

Every team will have the requirement players on all positions.

2 more heads needed we had some sign ups that decided to drop out.

[HittinAgenda]

I'm interested, but I've got a few questions about the rules:

#3: Does this rule apply on 4th and short in the redzone or just outside of field goal range? It doesn't seem much like sim ball to me if you don't have a little more freedom to go on 4th. I agree with not abusing going on 4th (i.e. 4th and 9 on your own 30), but a little more liberal use within the spirit of sim seems more appropriate to me.

#4: Does the 2 audible limit apply to hotroutes as well? E.g. can you call an audible and then hot route 2 receivers or are you limited to just one hot route after audible? Nevermind...I see the rule further down.

#8: Define "clock runner." I prefer running the ball and sometimes I wait for the center to point out the blocks...is this "running the clock"?

QB dropping: is this rule really necessary? That's probably my least favorite non-sim way to exploit a defense.

Moving players before the snap of the ball: This rule needs to be amended IMHO. Without individual defensive hot routes, it's necessary to move multiple players to get the correct coverage sometimes. Also, the way this rule is written, you can split a DE wide for easy sacks all-day.

Who the hell asks Madden? :D Can you ask the coach or use the play type or marquee player playcalling options?

Damn!! uhhh lets see

#3 yeah this rule is flexible it really just means if there is no reason for you to be going for it then don't. If you are in the redzone and have a 4th and 1 I would go for it and so would alot of NFL teams. Just don't abuse the 4th down and it's not an issue.

#4 nevermind you saw the rule further down

#8 This is really a grey area, I understand it takes time to read the defense run audibles hot routes etc., but If you are running your offense in a way that you take more than a full quarter on a single drive then you are running clock. But running clock isn't necessarily against the rules I just said I'd prefer to play people who don't run the clock down intentionally.

qb drop: This rule is there because I don't want to say you can only drop 10 steps and get complaints about someone dropping 11. I just think allowing a deep drop will decrease complaints and save em some frustration. I also think if you drop deep you get sacked deep I really don't think deep droppers get any advantage out of it.

Moving players: I am going to agree with you on ammending that rule to allow movement. I forgot you can't hot route the Defense and so that does leave adjustments that need to be made. So I'm going to say you can move as necessary for coverage, but don't move people just to exploit the games flaws. Exploit the player not the game

and yes asking the coach is okay and the people who ask madden are the same people who jam crayons up their noses.

hopefully I answered your questions Broncos are still available if you wanna sign up. If you don't end up signing up hit me up for a game you seem to be on top of **** and I'd like to check out your game. my gamer tag is abstrakt fists
