Franchise Rules

[Christonite]

1) No single offensive play or same type of play different formation can compose no more than 20% of your play calls... (if u have 50 plays in a game - u cant run the same play more than 10 times in the entire game) - defense has no such restriction

2) No Goaline Offense - except for short yardage situations (3rd/4th and less than 3 yards) or inside your opponents 5 yard line

3) If u are inside your 40 yard line and its 4th and greater than 1 - U MUST PUNT THE BALL

4) On extra points or field goals inside 31 yards - u r noyt allowed to user control block kicks! - there r well establised glitches to block kicks and block kicks rarely occur at this distance - so this will not be permitted

5) No HB direct snaps out of shot-gun formation ... wildcats r permitted!!! but r subject to the 20% play call restriction like every other play

6) Lg advances every 48 hours - this is refferred to as the playing period (if particpation rate is less than 80% - in this situation an extra 24 hours is granted to play games)

7) If u are away for 32+ consecutive hours - your opponent has the right to request a CPU game (on day 2 after 2pm of the playing period)- u will be temporarily dropped from the lg - so your opponent can play the CPU - this allows a player who is available to play his schduled game to minimize his exposure to potential simulated losses - when u r temporarily dropped u r expected to rejoin ASAP - if this occurs 3 times - your status in the lg will be re-evaluated

8.) If you schedule a game - both players r to message commish with the playing time... If your opponet is a `no-show`(after 15 minutes of the agreed time) - message the commish explaining he isnt around (this is time stamped)- he will not be able to send a the commish a message béc he is not there - the commish will award you a CPU game right than or when he come online

9) You are not allowed to play the a CPU gm unless u have the commish's permission... WE RUN AT FULL CAPACITY ALL THE TIME! if u r facing a CPU player - your opponent has likely been dropped temporarily under the 32 hour rule! or the scheduled game rule! (He will be rejoining shortly)... If that player has been booted or quit for some other reason - HE WILL BE REPLACED QUICKLY (from our established wait list system)

10) Any blitz that tackles the QB b4 an exchange with a RB will be deemed illegal - i understand these sort of blitzes can happen inadvertainly from time to time... each player will be given 8 incidents of this nature without sanction (over a 17 week season)... Episodes beyond 8 will be taxed... the tax will be draft pics (TBD by commish) given to the weekest roster team - this rule allow us to target players who 'gameplan' for this sort of blitz and not penalize a player that does it inadvertainly

11) All trades must be posted on lg website

12) if you trade a draft pic and fail to attend the rookie draft and honour the trade - your trading partner has the choice of voiding the trade or taking the player that was drafted in that slot and receiving the same draft pic in the following rookie draft - BOTTOM LINE HONOUR YOUR TRADED DRAFT PIC DEALS!

13) Trade deadline is week 12

14) no player is allowed to do more than 8 transactions in a row - this tactic is used to hide suspicous trades on the transaction history screen - also it is a "fishing" tactic guys ue to find the potential of free agents - either situation is unacceptable - hence the rule

15) when the lg is advanced you are to message your opponent - tell him when u plan on being online or respond to his message that he has sent to you

16) Do not run up the score unnecessarily - (accumulating stats for your rookies is not a valid reason to run the score up on a weaker opponent - PLAY NICE! and DONT BE A STAT SLUT!)

17) No Squib kicks unless in the final minute of the half or the 4th quarter

18) Do not quit your game - it is acceptable to concede the game - but to do so - u must message your opponent and inform him u would like to concede - if he accepts this - u are allowed to quit

19) If your opponent breaks any rule - save the footage in the pst game recap - hilight vault - tell the commish of the incident and post the footage of your opponent breaking rules on the lg website - ALL CHEATERS WILL BE EXPOSED

Thanx for posting this on here bro...i will also be sending a copy of this to everyone at the beginning of our 3rd season (tomorrow night) being that we've had a couple problems with guys who say they weren't aware of the rules. Thanx once again bro!

[GREENERRRR]

The rule that was added previously but left out from the master list is:

U can only manually move (joystick move) 1 player that rushes the QB - U can shift as many pass rushers u want using the `shift` system with L1 or R1... player that manually move more than 1 player that pass rush the QB, could be tryn to confuse the a.i. of the Offensive Line - so this practice is outlawed!

NEW RULE!

B4 the snap - U cannot move a defensive lineman form his `Line of Scrimage`area - U can shift him using L1 as much as u like - and u can move him manually (with the joystick) - along the `Line of scrimage` - but moving him back - like he is a LB is outlawed... this confuses the a.i. of the offensive lineman and can cause `Nano` blitzes
EXCEPTION: when your opponent is lined up in a punt formation and you suspect that he is Faking the punt (with a run) - u can move him into a better position to make a play on this fake

Thanx Greener...that should clear everything up then.

STAT SLUT Alert!

Jmojsoski - He's been doing it ever since this league began. I don't want to start anything, but I'm tired of seeing him score 50 to 60 points on the computer. Of course, I've never had the delight to play him so I can't really say that he is doing this stuff on purpose.

Anyways, it's something I just noticed and I could be wrong about him.

[Deathwish22]

I disagree bro. Jmojsoski is one of the most legit guys in this league. I must say for myself and the rest of the league...it's hard not to put 50 to 60 points up against the cpu. If you haven't had the chance to play him yet...then you shouldn't comment. He's one of the most legit guys this franchise has. No BS...no gimmicks...just a straight up legit player.

[Ryno341]

Awesome! Well I was wrong then! Sorry!

[Deathwish22]

It's all good bro. I'm just glad to finally see you posting on here bro. Hopefully you will play jmojsoski this season...and see he is legit.

[Ryno341]

Wait you know what I might of been thinking of whoever use to control the 49ers. Because Jay Cutler and Eddie Royal would have ridiculous stats all the time. And it was like that all last season. Sorry for the confusion. I think like wk 7 or so Royal had like 20 TDs. It was ridiculous.

[jmojsoski]

Get ur facts straight before u talk...And thanks for sticking up for me Deathwish....If u truly have a problem ryno, play me and we can settle it....Just for the record u can ask anyone about me in greener/ deathwish franchise (probably one of the highest level legit players there are online)....

[Ryno341]

[Insert apology here]

Seriously, sorry.

[GREENERRRR]

is as legit guy as they come- we just finished a game where he inadvertainly tackled my QB b4 the exchange 3 times - he didnt try to CHZ out of things - he admitted that was against the rules - and he recorded the incident appropriately - (btw - this was in Greeners Franchise - so has no effect on his status in this franchise)...

But the guy has been with since day1 and has been a class act from the beginning - i was stuck playn him in the 1st ever madden game - and he gave me a huge whipping - it was an eye opener for sure!


as far as limiting the score vs CPU - its hard to do - i justr say - KEEP IT REASONBABLE FELLOW - beat em bad - but dont make 100 - 0

[GREENERRRR]

When this occurs - the defensive player will have this recorded on the website (in the correct section) to keep track of the # of incidents this occurs in the season...

THE ADDITION TO THE RULE WILL BE:when a player tackles the QB b4 the exchange with the RB - the next play, the defensive player is to go offside - at the very least this will give back the yards the offensive player lost... if inside the 10 yard line - he is to go off-side until the offensive player gets back to the original LOS MINIMUM

i will consider even forcing this player 2 go offside TWICE -to add a steeper immediate penalty to this rule infraction! WHAT DO YOU THINK?

[Ryno341]

I think if they are doing it on purpose then there should be a penalty. I've seen a DT in real life tackle the QB during the exchange more than once in real life so those kind of things do happen.

[freshmullet]

GREAT IDEA!!!, i think that is a great rule to have the Defensive player go offside immediate play after the tackle before exchange. this should be implemented immediately, sometimes this happens to me 3-4 times a game. please let everyone know of the rule, simply the best rule yet, let me know if this is in effect, hopefully right away

[Deathwish22]

I think this will fix the problem of the nano blitz...but one question that was presented to me by DJGAMER is...what do we do if the nano blitz results in a safety?

[djgamer134]

Its an okay rule but what if it results in a safety and When an Opponet does a toss play if you do an Up the middle blitz then 9 times out of ten you will tackle the quarter back.
