Blowout Madden 25 Xbox 360 League

[freethrowtommy]

This will be a standard league (not fantasy draft). Below are tentative rules until the actual game drops in late August. Given the new systems are going to drop this year, this will probably be the last year of the 360 league.

With the release of Madden 25 in under a month, I am creating a league for 360 owners. All I ask is that you be active and play fair, no glitches or cheap exploited plays. Post in this thread your GT if you'd like to receive an invite or send me a friend request via XBL with at least your BO username so i know who you are.

Also, if you guys are away from an Xbox, you can view league stuff on a web browser.

Address is: http://www.maddencfm.com

Here are the main settings and rules for the League:

League Name:BLOWOUT GRIDIRON
League Type: Created Coaches
Fantasy Draft: No
Salary Cap:On
Skill Level: All Madden
Qtr Length: 7 min
Accelerated Clock: On
Injuries/Pre existing injuries: Off
Trades and Deadline:On

League Rules (Same as the Madden 13 league):

1.HAVE FUN and show SPORTSMANSHIP win or lose
2.No quitting. Take a loss as you would a win....with Pride
3.No cheating- nanos and whatever other glitches pop up this year
4.No NO HUDDLE overuse. Meaning not every play or every other play.
5.MUST punt on 4th and 4 or more if not passed the 50 yrd line unless losing in the 4th qtr.
6. Don't run up the score. If you've got a nice lead and theres no way you will be beat please show sportsmanship.
7. If game disconnects due to EA servers you will have to replay game regardless of what qtr or how big of lead you had UNLESS opponent agrees and does not want to replay game then you will be allowed to play vs CPU.
8. MAKE SURE YOU GET BACK TO THE MAIN MENU BEFORE TURNING OFF YOUR XBOX AT THE END OF A GAME.
9. Your opponent has until 5:00 PM CST the day before the advance to respond to a game request. After that time, please PM me and I will put them on autopilot. Please don't PM before that time UNLESS you need to play sooner. I will work it on a case by case basis.

**2 strike rule in effect for regular season/playoffs. If you miss 2 consecutive games AND/OR quit 2 games without notice you will be booted from league. STAYING ACTIVE is a MUST for this league to be successful and QUITTERS WILL NOT be tolerated.**

FA's,Trades,and Advancing Schedule (These are set in place so no one abuses the FA pool or makes bogus trades.If you have a better suggestion for FA's and Trades feel free to bring it to the table for review)

1. FA's are only to be picked up if your starting player at that position gets hurt. (EX. A.Johnson gets hurt so I pick up P.Burress)

2. Trading will be based on Rating points. Players in trade must be within 5 +/- pts. (Ex. Want a 90 Rated player must trade a player between 85-95 Rating)

3. I will be advancing every Wednesday and Saturday at 7pm CT unless of course all games are played before then. This should give everyone enough time to get your games in. Communication is KEY please message your opponent and coordinate game times. 7pm will be cut-off time on advance day, meaning if by 6pm you have not played your game and your opponent is online you will be set to "auto pilot" so game can be played versus CPU and once week is advanced "auto pilot" will be turned off so you can regain control of team.

I thought about switching it up but I'm eager to rip it up with D.Hop and see how that D is gonna be with Mercilus starting and Reed at Safety . Watt better not be anything less than a 99 overall

i sincerely hope Madden changes the passing game up to match the NCAA mechanics. pass D was just too easy last year on Madden, and I really don't feel like feeding Jonathan Joseph 5 INTs again.
