Sim-Style Madden 17 League Guidelines
Commissioner: dpeach7 - League Co-commissioners: biigdaddyforgey, Jameel93
League Basics:
• PlayStation 4
• Weekly Advances: 72 hours or once all games are played
• Game Scheduling: Teams are responsible for scheduling their upcoming games, at the latest, 12 hours prior to the Weekly Advance rollover.
• Difficulty: All-Pro w/ custom gameplay & XP sliders
• Quarter Length: 10 min / 18 sec min accelerated play clock
Play Calling:
• Offense: A player may not call the same play from the same formation until a new set of downs and never back-to-back. For example, if a player converts on 1st down, that player may not call the same play on the next 1st and 10. A single offensive play may be used a maximum of 5 times a per quarter of play in order to prevent play spamming. Do not flip a play prior to getting set at the line, you may instead flip your play after both sides are set or audible to a different play. This prevents quick-snapping, an unfair offensive advantage. You are not allowed to snap the ball while a player is in motion. Everyone must be set at the snap of the ball.
• Defense: Players are encouraged to mix it up on defense. If you want to primarily run Cover 3 from multiple sets for 4 quarters, as the Seahawks often do, you are welcome, but just like in real life this can be exploited by the offense. Please do not run Cover 3 blitz every play try to mix it up. Manipulating zones by re-zoning (hot routing) is strictly forbidden, instead use shading. Also, do not drop the defensive line into coverage unless it is a designed play. There needs to be at least 3 rushers at all times.
• Goal line: Plays from this formation may be used inside your opponent’s 5 yard line.. This is the only scenario where you may use a single offensive play back to back. For example, if it’s 2nd and inches to the goal line and you choose to QB sneak or FB dive, you may again choose this play on 3rd and inches if you don’t cross the goal line on the first attempt.
• 2 Point Conversions: These may only be used as a game deciding play (which would otherwise force overtime) or to even an odd score. Usually the game will recommend what situations to use these in.
• Onside Kicks: One surprise onside kick may be used per game. Otherwise this is reserved for the 4th quarter when a team is down more than 3 scores or anytime in the final minutes (last 5) of the game and you are trying to stage a comeback.
• Fake Punt/Kicks: Like onside kick you get one surprise fake kick/punt BUT you must be at or past midfield (50 yard line), or can be used only if down by 3 scores (17+ points) or more.
4th Down Rule: You may go for it on 4th down in these scenarios:
• 4th and 2 or less and your offense has crossed midfield into your opponent’s territory
• Down by 3 scores or more (17+ points) in second half, any distance
• Final 4 minutes to protect a slim lead (7 points or less) or losing by 2 scores (10+)
• Overtime...use at your own risk!
No-Huddle Offense:
• As the league changes and more teams use up-tempo offenses, a player may come out of the gate in the no huddle if that's your game plan as long as you abide by the play spamming rules. Now, in the event your team is up by 14+ at the half, one will be required to dial it back (stop no huddle) and play more ball control with less aggressive play calling on offense. Please be aware that in Madden 17, fatigue plays a much larger role. And as such, a no-huddle type of offense carries a certain risk/reward. Fatigued players become slower and carry a greater chance of fumble or worse, game ending injury.
• This is a friendly league, so please respect your opponent. This means no running up the score late when the game does not require it. You can cushion your lead if you have the opportunity, but no stat padding. Also, if your opponent is in an unwinnable situation and is not calling time outs, just take a knee to run the clock out in the final two minutes. If your opponent decides to take time outs while chew clock is on, assume that they are still playing to win and this will not be considered stat padding if you score.
Custom Playbooks:
• Playbooks must be stock and unmodified on both offense and defense. You may use another team’s playbook, but again, no custom playbooks at all. Please show your playbook to your opponent before you start your game, Notify a commissioner immediately after the game is played out if this is not the case with a screen shot or video evidence.
Disconnects:
• Disconnect during 1st half: The game will be mocked back to the same quarter, possession, and score.
• Disconnect during 2nd half: The game will be mocked back to the same quarter, possession, and score unless the D.C. player is down by a significant deficit (14+ points). In this case, the player with the lead will replay the game and their opponent will be on mandatory CPU controlled autopilot.
• Disconnect during final 2 minutes of 4th quarter where game is unwinnable: (Example: Immediately after a game-ending interception, no possession & no timeouts, etc.) This will result in an automatic win for the other player who will replay the CPU in order to progress.
Since this causes a significant inconvenience for the non-offending party, the D.Q. player may also be subject to an additional penalty at the sole discretion of the league commissioner.
• Disconnect in O.T. after loss of first possession: Same as above.
Quitting:
• If a player quits a game which is in progress for any reason, unless it is mutually agreed upon in the 1st quarter of play for instances such as lag, they will be removed from the league.
Roster Management, Trades:
• Notify a commissioner before making any cuts to players with an 80+ OVR rating.
• Never cut a player during the season with the intention of resigning them to a cheaper one year contract. This must be done during the offseason to allow other teams to realistically bid on their services.
• Players may make up to 4 trades during the season (this includes offseason) after they have completed 4 games to ensure that they plan on continuing on and have properly evaluated their roster (exceptions may be made if new users enter the league mid season). Future picks may not be traded until the player has been in the league for 1 full season.
• All skill players must play their natural positions, unless their role changes in real life. Utilize formation subs to maximize your matchups. If you wish to change a player's position (MLB to OLB, SS to LB etc) you must ask the commissioners before doing so. If the player doesn’t play that position in real life chances are your request will be denied as this is a sim league.
Communication and Game Scheduling:
• All league communication and game scheduling will be through GroupMe.
• Please send a commissioner a screenshot or short video clip if your opponent is breaking the league’s rules.
We encourage fun and fair game play without interfering with a particular player’s style.This should answer most league-specific questions, if there’s any uncertainty on a topic or issue, please ask a commissioner for clarity. Best of luck to you during the season!
