Endzone Empire

Endzone Empire has been in operation since Madden started online franchise play for multiple users. The release of Madden each year is a bestowed holiday for this Madden community. Operating from Madden release to Madden release- the competition remains fierce and the community returns year after year for more competitive battles on the field. While the competition is hyped, it is to be remembered, this is NOT REALITY.  Above anything else; always give respect to your fellow man. We all take it serious to an extent, but don’t ever overlook the fact Madden is still just a video game. It’s simulated; meaning LIKE- but not IS… Thank you for your support and dedication to the league and we hope you join our Madden community.

            2)    Clock Management:
                 a.    "Sitting on the Clock" is not allowed.
                 b.   No Huddle offense can be called 3x consecutively,  utilizing a new play each time, then a new play MUST be called. If a 1st down is not earned after 3 plays, users must follow correct procedures regarding the 4th down rules. (Exception: Trailing in 4th Quarter)
                 c.    Chew Clock 4th Qtr with a 24+ point lead. STARTERS MUST BE PULLED.
            3) QB Dropbacks and Rollouts
                 a.   QB dropbacks are 3, 5, and 7 step drops. Dropping back more than 10+ yards outside of performing a Hail Mary is not allowed. This is not Tecmo Bowl.
                 b.   Users should not ABUSE snapping the ball and IMMEDIATELY sprint to the sidelines. Users, this rule is self-explanatory. Do not overdo what is considered outside of sim-style football. 
            4)   Other than a designed play, any player set in motion must come to a complete STOP before the ball is snapped.
            5)  Goal-line offense can ONLY be used in short yardage situations.

            2)    Fake punts and Fake Field Goals are always allowed.

          C.   Safeties used in the SUBLB position MUST have an 87 speed rating or less.   
          D.    A FA signed mid-season cannot be traded.
          E.    No player can be traded 2x in one season. Users cannot trade with CPU.
          F.    Upcoming Free Agents are to be resigned during the season. If a user fails to resign a player or lowballs a player and the player decides to test FA; admins will not make the player off limits in off-season.
         G.    Practice Squad:
            1)    PS player are ‘glorified’ Free Agents and may be signed by other teams.

        G.    In the event of a scheduled late game passed the advance hour, advance may be conducted the following morning 4-6am. Any unplayed games may be played during this time.

      4.    Stat Padding

             1)    QB- 400 yards passing; 3 touchdowns (to include rushing);
             2)    HB- 150 yards rushing; 3 touchdown maximum;
             3)    WR- 150 yards receiving; 3 touchdown maximum;
             4)    There are no restrictions for Defense.
          B.    Violations for breaking stat padding rules will result in QB/HB/WR losing attribute points. HB/WR 2 pts loss in speed. QB 2 pts loss in throwing power.

5.    Disconnections: 
        A.    Disconnects occur. The following options are available depending on the time of disconnect:
             1 )    Disconnect takes place in 1st qtr- replay game; unless there is a 3-score difference. Disconnects in the 2nd and so on, the game can be “recreated” by the users and upon finish contact admin for a FW. Users agreement to replay full game is always acceptable.

       B .    A User that deliberately disconnects will be placed on AP. The other User may accept FW or take the AP and play the CPU.

6.    League Culture
       A.    Be mindful of weekends being family time. Flexibility should be an agreed respect among users. Check to ensure User is not on AP.
       B.    Tanking is NOT allowed. Regardless of record, Users are expected to play the last 5 games of the season. Three consecutive AP games without valid approval, the User will be replaced.
       C.    All users who play all 17 games will be awarded an XFactor upgrade on a player rated 70 and below. 
       D.   Users who play Weeks 14-18 will be given 5 attributes points for any category on a player rated 80 and below. The cap for this upgrade is 94. Users MUST play all 5 games to receive the points.
       E.    Playoffs will advance on a 24/48hr schedule. Offseason 24hr. Preseason will be immediately following draft to 3rd week. The following calendar day, league will advance to 4th week and 1st week of Regular Season. This gives all users a chance to set their 53-man roster.
       F.    Injuries will be turned off for advances. IF this is forgotten- apologies. Users are urged to play.
       G.   Reporting violations without some sort of proof is irrelevant. Post screen shots of ALL violations; stream if at all possible, for admin action.
       H.   NO Personal Attacks will not be tolerated. Trash talk is acceptable but keep it about Madden.
        I.    Admin may make adjustments to written rules due to situation. Most will be conducted by a league vote. Rules will be voted on in every off-season. Once a season starts, the rule is in effect until next offseason voting period. Any user may call for a valid vote within the game.
        J.    Player Edits: Equipment and player number are the ONLY acceptable changes on players. Any user caught making a change to a player- i.e. position and/or name change is a 1 game suspension.

Guidelines and requirements will be established during the course of the league. This portion of the game is set forth by the Commish used as incentives and rewards to players for their activity and accomplishments within the league.
