Text me at 8504490057 with the team you will be using. I run everything through cell phone via text message.

Rule #1 Don't be an asshole
CPU trades are not allowed.
Trading is not regulated between humans. If you see any crazy shit going on, notify the commissioner.
You are allowed 1 free agent PER WEEK. This does not mean you can sign/release 5 and keep one in the end. Sign one per week.
Do not drop back with the QB past 10 yards. Do not hike the ball and immediately begin a scramble with your qb unless it is a qb draw OR you experiencing pressure up the middle. This means don't hold turbo and the left stick as u hike, period.
DONT motion your WR and hike before he stops. He then becomes UNBUMPABLE and this is an AI glitch
I understand sometimes your TE or HB will have a high number of receptions, it happens. DO NOT throw the ball to the same person 20 times, especially when he's the only one with any receptions, you WILL get banned for this. If you wanna pad your stats go do it somewhere else.
No Goaline Offense - except for short yardage situations (3rd/4th and less than 3 yards) or inside your opponents 10 yard line
If u are inside the 50 yard line and its 4th and 1 or greater - U MUST PUNT THE BALL...
If you are winning by 7 or less and it is 4th and 1 PAST the 50, you can go for it. If it is 4th and 2 you CANNOT go for the conversion!!!
If you're losing in the third quarter by 14 or more, the punt restriction is lifted. Meaning it doesnt have to be 4th and 1 past the 50yd line
If you're losing in the 4th quarter, the punt restriction is lifted, UNLESS you're losing by 3 or less and in field goal range, you must kick the field goal on 4th down.
2 Point conversions....If it makes sense, do it. Examples, if going for two would but you ahead by 7 or 3, do it. If the two point would put you ahead by 1, 2, 6, etc don't do it. Don't go for at the end of a game to go for the win. That decision was made by the league mods and myself to prevent people from cheesing on the 2pt conversions. We dont wanna deal with "He did some cheap money play to get the conversion."
Do not take control of blockers on kick returns. This includes pulling an extra man back on punt returns.
No HB direct snaps out of shot-gun formation, this is an audible glitch ... Wildcats are permitted!!
If everyone has played and we are constantly waiting on the same owner, I WILL SIM YOUR GAME. If you’re not going to be active please do not join.
If u are away for 32+ consecutive hours - your opponent has the right to request a CPU game - 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 scheduled game to minimize his exposure to potential simulated losses - when u r temporarily dropped u r expected to rejoin ASAP
I will be monitoring multiple restarts of CPU games!!! Sure from time to time restarts can be unavoidable (gm freezes, unavoidable emergency that u must attend that interrupts your game ETC) - but if a pattern arises (where we notice players restarting CPU games) - Possible sanctions may arise - this is intended to stop players from restarting games that they are losing or because they suffer an injury to a KEY player...
If you schedule a game with another player you are expected to be on at the time agreed. If you cannot be there try to let your opponent know ahead of time.
Any nano blitz that tackles the QB b4 an exchange with a RB will be deemed illegal - i understand these sort of blitzes can happen inadvertently from time to time... If you’re setting these plays up and hitting the QB over and over it’s intentional and you will be booted.
This also includes FAKE BLITZING. If you fake blitz and LN or safety and then drop into coverage, you 're exploiting the AI because it doesn't realize you've dropped back and keeps trying to block tht player
Note: if this occurs and you have reason to believe it was intentional, contact the commissioner and try to save an in game replay
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 and it wont make an impact on progression anyway, play time does. - PLAY NICE! And DONT BE A STAT SLUT!)
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
You 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... Players that manually move more than 1 player that pass rush the QB, are trying to confuse the A.I. Of the Offensive Line - so this practice is outlawed!
If a player INADVERTAINLY loses a connection in the game: Give him the option to restart, if he was losing and a comeback was not possible, count the game. If you lose connection you are expected to restart the game immediately.
Rocket catches will not be tolerated. Causing your player to perform a jump motion every play falls into this category.
Don’t call the same plays over and over. You have an entire playbook, use it. If you’re running the same money play to convert every 3rd down you’re wrong. This also includes only throwing to your TE or HB and not using your receivers.
Do not throw your best receiver into the #3 spot on the depth chart. Audible him to the slot through the play call screen is OK. Just don’t abuse it.
If you aren't making the playoffs do not throw the game to get a better draft pick. For example, dont punt on first down or run back 80 yards for a safety.
If you are about to score do not dive on the ground to kill the clock and not let your opponent have a chance to get the ball. Run the ball into the endzone if you have the opportunity.
If someone is cheating or doing anything against the rules either save an in game replay, or take video with a cell phone of the replay and send it to me. To save an in game replay go to game stats after the game is over and you can save highlights. They will show up on the league site on ea.com
This is a SIM LEAGUE, if it’s not something that a coach would do in real life, then do not do it in this league.
These rules are meant to keep the game as realistic and fun as possible. If you don't like the rules, DO NOT JOIN.
