Also please review our incredibly realistic rules that aren't loving stupid and make the game less,realistic which is the opposite of their intention


Situational Play Calling on Offense

4TH DOWN RULE: [You can go for it if it fits one of these scenarios]
• Any Quarter - 4th and 1 or shorter, at or past your opponents 40
• Quarter 1 - 3 - Down by 17 points or more.
• 4th Quarter - Any distance - Down by 8 Points or more
• 4th Quarter - Under 2 Minutes - Any distance - losing by any amount
• Over Time - You can go for it at your own risk

NO RUNNING UP THE SCORE
- Chew Clock can be used with 3 minutes left in the 4th quarter, or if your opponent has conceded and asks for you to run it out to end the game.
- You do not have to run the ball all three plays and then punt. You can always attempt to gain the first down, but there is a difference between being aggressive and trying to get first down to continue running clock. We do expect you to take a knee at the end of the game and take your win if your opponent isn't calling timeouts and you can run it down to zero time left. Two min left and no timeouts, take a knee.

DEFENSE: 
• Defense must be mixed up on play calls and type of defense. Man - Cover 4 - Cover 3 - Cover 2 – Blitz. You shouldn't be 95% Man or 95% Zone. If your more than 80% one side or the other, then you are in a violation. You cannot call the same type of coverage more than two times in a row. So when in RedZone, we shouldn't see Cover 2 Zone Three Straight Times. Just mix it up and adjust to the situation. If someone goes 4 wide every play we understand you may have to adjust.

NEW RULES FOR THE MADDEN LEAGUE

Free Agency and the Waiver Wire

We are introducing a ‘Waiver Wire’ process to govern over all off-season/in-season free agency to add a bit more structure and another level of realism to the team management process.

>All 'Free Agents' 75 ovr or higher will require a bid

>Submit your bid by posting in the ‘Waiver Claims’ thread (see forum)

>If no one has put in an additional claim (which is time stamped) after 24 hrs the thread will be locked and the Free Agent will be available for you to sign (LIMIT ONE CLAIM PER 24 HRS – NO MULTIPLE PLAYER CLAIMS)

>If multiple users claim the same player, the team with lower numerical draft pick will be awarded the player like in the NFL.

>All ‘Free Agents’ 74 ovr or lower are still first come first serve and are limited to two pick-ups per advanced week.

If anyone has a question feel free to contact an admin. (K's and P's DO NOT count they can be signed in addition to the other two players - So long as their rating does not require a bid)

2-Each team MUST maintain a 53 man roster (IF YOU HAVE LESS THAN 53 YOU WILL FORFEIT DRAFT A PICK/S – to be determined by the admins)

The most important update to date
The previous Huddle tab will be renamed “Competitive”, and taken over with Madden Championship Series content, including the streaming schedule and the Gameday Program, which has competitive-themed offers, like unique Club Championship uniforms and competitor coaches.

That has its own set of problems, and both the developers and the community are too focused on Diamond Dynasty (The Show's version of HUT/MUT/FUT) and not on actual good game mechanics or good single player franchises.

That said I played a lot of hours of The Show 18 and hardly any hours at all of Madden 19 so.

The game is severely broken and without enforcing some in house rule it turns into a total poo poo fest. Watch any “pro” madden tournament, it’s trash.

It can actually be fun with decent house rules that limit the nonsense.

Whatchyou mean realism? How is it not real to let players do whatever they want? That seems more real to me. In real life if the coach felt like it he could make crazy calls. Might get fired but you can do it. That's realism.

NFL has a lot of weird rear end rules these days but are you seriously mandated to punt on 4th? No way.

its very easy to exploit technical issues that exist in the game that obviously aren't a factor in real life to make certain situations and types of plays favor you extremely heavily, without there being any way to effectively counter it. Those rules enforce a playstyle closer to actual football instead of stuff like running the same plays out of the same formation every play over and over again because its what breaks the AI in the current meta, things like that.

I wasn't a super pro competitor or whatever but last year I felt like I was winning more games online against lovely GO FOR IT EVERYTIME guys when I had a decent punter. It helps that the game makes your aim super consistent so it's not hard to bounce it out of bounds to pin people too.

I guess that's just another form of unrealism but whatever

It's probably fine for that, you won't be as salty about the bad stuff if the last one you played was that long ago.
