This is a simulation Madden Football League. We accept no BS-Style play. No 'cheese' 'gimmicks' 'exploits' etc. You will be removed if you resort to these tactics.

Treat ALL League Owners with respect. Do not cuss out fellow league owners and do not chat excessively during game play, especially if your opponent is not responding. We do not need a 3rd commentator in the booth...Yes, it is a video game and we all realize occasionally odd things happen in our favor and against our favor...Nobody needs your reminders or point of views..play the game!

Subs: Make any subs before kickoff or at halftime - or burn a timeout if you need to make a change in the middle of a game. No BS Subs..WR at TE..or 90+ spd HB at FB..etc.etc..You know what is legit and not.

Offense: Mix your play calling. Do not quick snap your opponent, except for last second plays w/no time outs etc..let your opponent set his defense. You may not snap while players are in motion.

You can NOT manually zig zag your WR slow him up to interfere than release so he bursts to make the catch...complete cheese and gimmicks. You will be removed.

FOURTH DOWN - Quarters 1 - 3 you can only go for it on 4th down and 1 or less if you are on your opponents side of the 50 yard line. Quarter 4 your doing what you have to do on 4th down to win. You are no longer required to warn your opponent when going for it on 4th down or 2 point conversion, so defensively be aware of your opponents play-calling before assuming. Of course the rules still apply as to when you can go for it as mentioned above.

Defense: You can not manually move any players in any situation. Mix your defensive playcalling. You can not split the defensiv line wide in any formations..You can shift left, right and in anytime - You can bring 8 in the box 1 time per four downs - at the 10 yard line and in - you can do it every play. Do not jam and blitz all game long. Call your defensive sets realistically. I.E. it's 3rd and long, your opponent calls a 4 WR set and you call your same 3-4 defense...get real..matchup accordingly.

Settings: The MFL uses spawn files for league games.

All Madden | 6 minute Qtrs

Sliders all 5 except: CPU QB Accuracy: 0; CPU RB Ability:0; Kicking ACC: 50; Punting ACC:50 Kicking PWR: 50

Injury slider is at 102. If for whatever reason a game must be played or continued without the spawn file you must use these settings.

MADDEN: - You Can NOT let the CPU run your plays - In other words - you can't snap the ball and then watch the CPU run your play automatically - If you want to watch the game instead of play - go join a coach only league! All plays must be run manually.

ETC: Of course it is impossible to list every situation that may come up in any given game. You are expected to understand fair and honest football and use good judgement at all times. Just because absolutely every possible flaw or exploit is not noted in the rules - that does not make it fair game...We will not tolerate ignorance as an excuse and for that matter.
