HELLO FOOTBALL FANS!!!!! AND WELCOME TO ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL SEASON OF MADDEN NFL FOOTBALL!!!!!!!!

LEAGUE RULES

TRADE/FREE AGENT RULES:

1) Trades: Both teams must post the agreed trade in the weekly thread. I will then examine the trade, and if I think it is an unfair trade, I will veto. If both teams would like to "challenge" my veto, we will hold a league vote, and I will need 2/3 majority to overturn my veto by the end of the sim period. If I am involved in a trade, ZellbrigeN will act as commissioner, and examine the trade, and we will follow the same path. If Zell and I trade, it will automatically be put to league vote. If a trade is approved by the league, it will be processed directly after the week is simmed. Week 6 trades, it will be processed right before the sim, since that is the deadline.

2) Trading with the Computer: In the case of you trading with a computer controlled team you must inform the league of the trade, and it must be ok-ed by the Commissioner (me) before the week is rolled. If I want a trade with the comp then Zell acts as ok-er.

New this year every team/player gets 1 veto a season. If I say I am fine with the trade the first person who veto's it will be charged their veto powers. This means they overrule my decision. Now you can also use this veto power another way; if you veto my decision on your own trade the decision then goes to a league vote. This also includes if someone wants to ok a trade for a different team that I say no to. (not sure why this would happen but just saying) You can veto someone else' veto. At that point it becomes a league vote.

The Trade Deadline is Week 6

PROPER TRADE REQUEST FORMAT:
Team: (Your Team Name)
Request: Trade with (Team you are trading with)

(Team) Gets:
Player A- Position, Rating
Player B- Position, Rating
Player C- Position, Rating

(Team) Gets:
Player A- Position, Rating
Player B- Position, Rating
Player C- Position, Rating

Free Agency (FA)

Preseason FA Draft:

There will be a draft as soon as the new league is created and the latest update is brought in. Each team will pick a maximum of 10 players that you want from free agency and send them in a private message to ZellbrigeN26. On the Saturday before the season starts (Sept 17), He will go through and plug in the highest pick to each human team based on the rankings of the teams. When Zell announces on here who is going to which team I need to know who will be dropped from each team in order to make room...Before you add players to your roster you must put it on the forum for that week.

After the Draft:

Up until we roll week one you will have the opportunity to balance your team through FA. Pick up people where you need depth or where you want to. You are in Control. You don't need to replace the position with the position lost. Hence you are happy with your back ups for the position lost but still feel like you need to drop a player. Or better yet just want to drop a player due to lack of production.

During the Season Free Agency Will Look Like this:

Free Agent Pickups: Any player may be replaced by a free agent. I will have a FA signing period every week after all of the games are played and before the league is rolled. This period is 1 day when I see all games are created. If you want a player then I suggest you make a request asap so I can get it eligible in the FA period. If the League is rolled and you have to still pick up somebody you must wait until the next weeks games are played.

You will see after the free agent period has ended who will be going where.

If anyone violates this rule I will retract the player from your team manually and give you a warning. If you do it more than once I will kindly ask you to leave.

PROPER FREE AGENT REQUEST FORMAT:
Team: (Your Team Name)
Request: Free Agent Pickup
Adding Player: (Name- Position)
Dropping Player: (Name- Position)

Rolling Schedule:

There will be a 5 Day schedule to get in Regular Season Games from when the league is rolled. The League Roll Date is the Date the Forum is Created for the Next Week. If there are games yet to be played after the 5 day period those players will have a 24 hour window to get games completed. Now I will make exceptions if both parties are trying to get it together and its just not happening. If you aren't playing a Human opponent there really isn't an excuse why you would be the last player to play therefore your game will be simmed after the 5 days, Unless you notify me and the league.

Did the patch roll and does that mean we should sign up?

I haven't checked I just needed to get this up

The Patch is not through yet

That's what she said. OH!!!

I've been shopping for a cheap copy that has an unused online code. I hope to have it soon. The nasty itch to get this won't go away.

I am ready to go. Got a good offensive playbook worked up. Got a good defensive scheme. Although, it will be interesting to play the Bucs - Freeman isnt as forgiving as Manning with wrong reads. However, their D-line is slick and Blount is a MONSTER.

buffalo is going to be hard to play my usual gun and go doesn't work so well in this game...looks like I will be pulling out all the stops

Question with the online franchise rosters being delay. Will we be starting the season with these rosters or will we wait until everything is correct. ALC NERVERMIND

Lead passing is a good way to throw a pick or throw out of bounds with a non-elite QB. Quick passing and throwing to a guy who is covered = instapick. Zones play much better which is good and bad, I havent seen too much of the NCAA psychic players. However seam routes are hard to get in because every safety plays like a cross between Darell Reevis and Rod Woodson.

It plays more to the teams from what I can tell...if you are playing a aggressive lb core then scrambling is a bad idea the lineman are much better as what I would expect from the actual team

So FA draft deadline was yesterday. Are we all ready to go?

You only added 1 Rb it looks like the rest are on my team and I dropped him...Can I make a pick up if a draft pick did not happen at a spot I have a need?...*Edit I read the rules and I believe it says I can so I am making a move or 2.

The request needs to be made on here first tommy

And so it begins! FA period will be on Saturday which means all games must be played by Friday Oct. 7th happy balling

I've added the players from the FA draft but wasn't prompted to drop anyone on a 1 for 1 basis. Is that required? I did have a cut list if it is.

Do you guys have room for another player?
