Blast From The Past League Rules
Head Commissioner: AlecBP
Co-Commissioner: Redrum8992/Smoke
Co-Commissioner: Talleyketdet25
Co-Commissioner: i11_will1101/Jwill
Co-Commissioner: Jsun06
*ALL USERS are expected to know and be familiar with all of the rules. With that said, a small amount of leeway will be given within the first season of the league and to those who just recently joined*
League Overview
Be Mindful of other participants of the league, everyone has their own personal problems, responsibilities, and lives to deal with on a daily basis
This league is meant for casually competitive, mature users and we expect everyone to carry themselves as such
If you have any questions, issues, or concerns they should be brought directly to one of the commissioners
Our goal is to create the most realistic NFL experience that madden allows and to simulate the NFL as closely as possible without sacrificing fun aspects of the game itself
Intentionally losing games/sacrificing your season to get a higher draft pick, or “tanking”, is not allowed. The commissioners have the right to determine if a user is tanking or not, and also have the right to request private streams from users to determine if they are indeed tanking. If it is found that a user is tanking the commissioners will discuss and determine the punishment for said user depending on the varying circumstances
If a user is consistently losing by large margins, they’ll be removed from the league due to a lack of the ability to compete consistently. You don’t have to be great at the game or even good, but this rule is in place mainly to prevent consistent blowouts and non competitive teams that skew the overall stats and balance of the league
Absolutely NO PLAYING THE CPU NO EXCEPTIONS
When joining the league, make sure to create a coach. The purpose of this is to keep track of each user’s overall record throughout the franchise
Scheduling & Activity
Tumblr media
We will advance every 2 days (48 hours), or whenever all games are completed whichever comes first
All scheduling of games is expected to be done within the first few hours of advance. It is also recommended that you schedule your games in the main league chat for all commissioners to see so that if it is necessary to review the communication it can be done so easily and in a timely fashion
When scheduling your games agree to a SPECIFIC DATE & TIME with your opponent as opposed to “ I’m available anytime after X” for example
No-showing to an agreed upon time with an opponent without the courtesy of a heads-up is NOT OK. Show your opponent courtesy and respect. If you have to cancel the game then so be it, but people schedule their days around these games. Depending on your reputation and standing within the league a no-show to an agreed upon time may result in REMOVAL FROM THE LEAGUE. Even with a heads-up, too many missed times that are agreed upon will also result in removal from the league. Regardless, a missed time that was agreed upon will result in a sim loss for the user who missed the time if the game ultimately does not get played
General lack of communication is NOT TOLERATED, if the commissioners feel that you are being too inactive with your communication and are lacking a sense of urgency, to a reasonable degree, to communicate with your opponent regularly, then you’ll be removed from the league
If you will be unavailable for an extended period of time then let the commissioners know ahead of time. If you go off the grid without giving a heads-up to the commissioners, you’ll be removed from the league. Living your life is allowed, but too many extended absences will become problematic
Aside from extreme circumstances, failing to play 4 games in a single season due to scheduling conflicts that are deemed your fault will result in removal from the league
All Prime time games (Thursday Night, Sunday Night, Monday Night, London, etc) are expected to be streamed by the away team as well as all playoff games. If the away team is unable to stream, the home team will be requested to stream, but have the option to decline. When posting a stream, either tag a commissioner with the name of your username and the platform or tag a commissioner with the link
All games in the final six weeks are eligible to FLEX scheduling which allows commissioners to flex games that have playoff implications in the waning stages of the season
Beginning in the final four weeks, (week 14) and going forward until the conclusion of the Super Bowl, the league will shift to 24 hour advance which will help move the league along in the ladder stages of the season
Users may also have 24 hours to play the Pro Bowl against their madden assigned counterpart from the opposing conference if they so choose. This time will also give the two teams in the Super Bowl a small window to prepare and game plan for the other. However, this is an option that will be decided by the two teams in the Super Bowl, whatever their preference is whether it is playing right then or giving the 24 hours, it will be up to them to decide
Gameplay
Tumblr media
No intentionally exploiting the AI
Players must ALWAYS rush at least 3 defenders on EVERY play
No heat seeker or ball hawk, if you believe your opponent has heat seeker or ball hawk on you must ask for their settings before the start of the second half in the main chat by tagging them along with the commissioners and a photo of the time remaining/quarter of the game in its’ current state. Every user is expected to check their phone prior to exiting the post game menu so that they may know for sure that they do or do not have to take a video of their settings. If all requirements are met by the user asking to see the settings and the opposing user fails to show their settings it will be an automatic 2 game suspension with the potential of increase if the offense is repeated, but if the requirements are not met by the requesting team the request will be deemed null and void. It will also result in a 2 game suspension if the user is found to have ball hawk and/or heat seeker active for that game
Turn off previous play art
Chew Clock is not allowed at any point in the game unless both teams mutually come to an agreement to do so. If your opponent is using chew clock without your consent, contact a commissioner and if you provide proof they will be reprimanded in some way
Quitting a game is NOT tolerated and will result in an automatic 4 game suspension on first offense with a higher potential punishment if the offense is repeated. If both teams mutually agree to end the game early in the second half, the team that is losing the game can exit the game via the pause menu and madden will save the score and stats, but this is only allowed if both teams mutually agree to these terms.
In the event that a game gets disconnected users are expected to come to a fair and reasonable agreement as to how to handle the situation going forward, however if both parties cannot come to an agreement they are to refer to the commissioners on what to do with the situation
Onside Kicks can be done at any point in the game by either team regardless of the situation
Regular Season games will all have 7 minute quarters, Post Season games will all have 8 minute quarters
4th Down
Tumblr media
On fourth down situations you may go for it in regular situations if you are at or past the 50 yard line and it is 4th and 3 or less, there is no limit to going for it if the fourth down situation matches these criteria. You may also go for it from any point on the field from any distance if you are trailing by 3 or more scores (17+ Points) You may also go for it at any time within the fourth quarter from any point on the field at any distance if you are up by 8 points or less or are trailing by any number of points. You also get one use of a 4th down attempt (A Freebie) that can be used from anywhere on the field, at any time, with any down and distance
Anything goes in Overtime as the whole period can be considered a “game time decision”
If any aspect of the 4th down rule is broken and evidence is shown to the commissioners, a punishment will be given to the user who broke the rule depending on the number of times they’ve broken the rule in this situation and previously
Playbooks
Tumblr media
Users will be allowed to use every and any team specific playbook that they so choose from a game to game basis
Use of custom playbooks or madden generic playbooks is NOT allowed. There will be no exceptions to this rule
Show your playbooks to your opponent prior to the start of a game to confirm that both you and your opponent are in fact using team playbooks
Free Agency
Tumblr media
When the league first opens you may NOT add any free agents or sign anyone until prompted by the commissioners to do so
For every preseason following the very first one, users will be allowed to add ONE free agent per week of the preseason. In the regular season, users are allowed to add as many free agents as they’d like to shape/mold their roster to fit whatever they want to do
Off season Free Agency will be done per standard procedure as users will attempt to bid on players that they want to add to their team, until a certain time in which the period will end, that will be predetermined by the commissioners and announced to league along with the rest of the off season schedule
Trading
Tumblr media
The first season will have a trade limit of one trade to allow users to fully learn the game before making major moves to change their roster
There will be no trade limit after the first season except when you trade with a team, you will not be able to trade with that team again for two full seasons. (Ex. If the Bills traded with the Redskins in the first season, they would not be able to make a trade with each other again until the third season)
Multi part trades ARE allowed, but the maximum number of players allowed in one trade, per team, is 4. There is no limit to the number of draft picks allowed in a trade
3+ team trades are not allowed
For a trade to be approved, you must submit your trade to one of the commissioners for them to then share with the other commissioners and come to a ruling. The commissioners will then give feedback on the trade telling you whether it was approved or declined, why, and how you can change it to an approved ruling if it was declined. For a Commissioner’s trade to be approved, three of the other four commissioners must approve it, and if two commissioners are trading with each other, two of the remaining three commissioners must approve their trade
There will be no rules preventing playoff teams to trade up however far in the draft, but keep in mind if you’re a playoff team that wants to move up you’ll have to give up significant value if you want the trade to reach approval
To submit a trade, use this format for players and send it to one of the commissioners for a smoother process, and quicker response, you aren’t required to use this format, but you are much more likely to receive a swift response if you do. Player Name, Position, Overall, Age, Development, Years remaining on contract and salary/bonus
Trades will not be reviewed once the draft has begun, all trades must be submitted before the start of the draft if you want them to count for that off season or if you want to do a trade involving the present draft
No Trading with the CPU
Drafting
Tumblr media
Each team is allowed a maximum of three picks per round in the first two rounds of the draft. There is no pick limit for every other round of the draft
For the draft, each team will get their full clock to draft in the first and second rounds of the draft, for round 3 teams will get 1 minute, and for round 4 each team will get 30 seconds. Round 4 is as far as we’ll go, the rest of the draft will be simulated so we recommend you set your draft boards and monitor them throughout
Roster Management
Tumblr media
No changing players names unless explicitly told by the commissioners that you may do so
All users must match their players on their roster with their corresponding number range depending on their position as stated below:
QB/K/P: 1-19
DB/HB/FB: 20-49
WR: 10-19, 80-89
TE: 40-49, 80-89
OL: 50-79
DL: 40-79, 90-99
LB: 40-59, 90-99
You may NOT change the position of a player with one year remaining on their contract until AFTER they’ve signed an extension
Offensive Lineman are interchangeable
(LT, LG, C, RG, RT)
Defensive Backs are interchangeable
(CB, FS, SS)
Linebackers are interchangeable
(LOLB, MLB, ROLB)
Defensive Lineman are interchangeable
(RE, LE, DT)
DE to OLB or OLB to DE
(This is only allowed if you’re making a scheme change from 3-4 to 4-3 or vise versa)
ANY POSITION CHANGES NOT SHOWN ARE NOT ALLOWED
SUPERSTAR AND SUPERSTAR X-FACTOR PLAYERS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE THEIR POSITION CHANGED, THIS CAN AFFECT THEIR X-FACTOR ABILITY AMONG OTHER ABILITIES! If you want to move a Superstar or X-Factor’s position, do so in the Depth Chart
Incentives/Regression
Tumblr media
The Super Bowl Champion will receive a development trait to use on the player of their choosing, but must be used prior to the start of the first free agency period
The Super Bowl Champion will also be allowed to have the avatar of the group changed to whichever of their players that they want for the entirety of the next season, until the next Super Bowl
We will reverse the regression of all normal and star development players 71+ OVR (Post regression) AGE 29 and YOUNGER. We will also reverse all regression of Superstar & Superstar X-Factor Players AGE 31 and YOUNGER
Normal & Star Development Running backs regress at AGE 30, Superstar & Superstar X-Factor Dev at 31
Normal & Star Quarterbacks regress at AGE 36, Superstar & Superstar X-Factor Quarterbacks regress at AGE 38. Quarterbacks will lose their SPD, AGI, and ACC on par with all other positions (Age 30 for Normal and Star) (Age 32 for Superstar and Superstar X-Factor)
All other positions with normal & star development regress at 30, Superstar & Superstar X-Factor regress at 32
Commissioners also have the collective ability to determine if a player could have their regression reversed if their stats overall were very good, but they didn’t reach any of the specific milestones. However, commissioners cannot overturn regressions for players if they’ve reached the age where certain abilities can no longer be sustained, like giving a player 32+ their physically regressed traits back, etc
If a player 32+ meets the following stats, we will reverse the regression of all traits he loses, non physical (SPD,ACC,AGI,JMP,INJ,STA,STR,THP)
If a player 30-31 (Normal or Star Dev) meets the following stats for the most recent season, we will reverse ALL regression of all traits he loses, both physical and non physical
QB: 3500+ Yards OR 25+ TD
RB: 1,000+ Yards OR 12+ TD
WR: 1,000+ Yards OR 10+ TD
TE: 750+ Yards OR 8+ TD
OL: (Will Always Regress)
IDL: 40+ TKL OR 6+ Sacks
Edge: 10+ Sacks
Off Ball LB: 110 TKL
CB: 3 INTs OR 12+ PBUs
S 4 INTs OR 65+ Tackles.

Beginning in the final four weeks, (week 14) and going forward until the conclusion of the Super Bowl, the league will shift to 24 hour advance which will help move the league along in the ladder stages of the season
Users may also have 24 hours to play the Pro Bowl against their madden assigned counterpart from the opposing conference if they so choose. This time will also give the two teams in the Super Bowl a small window to prepare and game plan for the other. However, this is an option that will be decided by the two teams in the Super Bowl, whatever their preference is whether it is playing right then or giving the 24 hours, it will be up to them to decide
Gameplay
Tumblr media
No intentionally exploiting the AI
Players must ALWAYS rush at least 3 defenders on EVERY play
No heat seeker or ball hawk, if you believe your opponent has heat seeker or ball hawk on you must ask for their settings before the start of the second half in the main chat by tagging them along with the commissioners and a photo of the time remaining/quarter of the game in its’ current state. Every user is expected to check their phone prior to exiting the post game menu so that they may know for sure that they do or do not have to take a video of their settings. If all requirements are met by the user asking to see the settings and the opposing user fails to show their settings it will be an automatic 2 game suspension with the potential of increase if the offense is repeated, but if the requirements are not met by the requesting team the request will be deemed null and void. It will also result in a 2 game suspension if the user is found to have ball hawk and/or heat seeker active for that game
Turn off previous play art
Chew Clock is not allowed at any point in the game unless both teams mutually come to an agreement to do so. If your opponent is using chew clock without your consent, contact a commissioner and if you provide proof they will be reprimanded in some way
Quitting a game is NOT tolerated and will result in an automatic 4 game suspension on first offense with a higher potential punishment if the offense is repeated. If both teams mutually agree to end the game early in the second half, the team that is losing the game can exit the game via the pause menu and madden will save the score and stats, but this is only allowed if both teams mutually agree to these terms.
In the event that a game gets disconnected users are expected to come to a fair and reasonable agreement as to how to handle the situation going forward, however if both parties cannot come to an agreement they are to refer to the commissioners on what to do with the situation
Onside Kicks can be done at any point in the game by either team regardless of the situation
Regular Season games will all have 8 minute quarters, Post Season games will all have 9 minute quarters
4th Down
Tumblr media
On fourth down situations you may go for it in regular situations if you are at or past the 50 yard line and it is 4th and 3 or less, there is no limit to going for it if the fourth down situation matches these criteria. You may also go for it from any point on the field from any distance if you are trailing by 3 or more scores (17+ Points) You may also go for it at any time within the fourth quarter from any point on the field at any distance if you are up by 8 points or less or are trailing by any number of points. You also get one use of a 4th down attempt (A Freebie) that can be used from anywhere on the field, at any time, with any down and distance
Anything goes in Overtime as the whole period can be considered a “game time decision”
If any aspect of the 4th down rule is broken and evidence is shown to the commissioners, a punishment will be given to the user who broke the rule depending on the number of times they’ve broken the rule in this situation and previously
Playbooks
Tumblr media
Users will be allowed to use every and any team specific playbook that they so choose from a game to game basis
Use of custom playbooks or madden generic playbooks is NOT allowed. There will be no exceptions to this rule
Show your playbooks to your opponent prior to the start of a game to confirm that both you and your opponent are in fact using team playbooks
Free Agency
Tumblr media
When the league first opens you may NOT add any free agents or sign anyone until prompted by the commissioners to do so
For every preseason following the very first one, users will be allowed to add ONE free agent per week of the preseason. In the regular season, users are allowed to add as many free agents as they’d like to shape/mold their roster to fit whatever they want to do
Off season Free Agency will be done per standard procedure as users will attempt to bid on players that they want to add to their team, until a certain time in which the period will end, that will be predetermined by the commissioners and announced to league along with the rest of the off season schedule
Trading
Tumblr media
The first season will have a trade limit of one trade to allow users to fully learn the game before making major moves to change their roster
There will be no trade limit after the first season except when you trade with a team, you will not be able to trade with that team again for two full seasons. (Ex. If the Bills traded with the Redskins in the first season, they would not be able to make a trade with each other again until the third season)
Multi part trades ARE allowed, but the maximum number of players allowed in one trade, per team, is 4. There is no limit to the number of draft picks allowed in a trade
3+ team trades are not allowed
For a trade to be approved, you must submit your trade to one of the commissioners for them to then share with the other commissioners and come to a ruling. The commissioners will then give feedback on the trade telling you whether it was approved or declined, why, and how you can change it to an approved ruling if it was declined. For a Commissioner’s trade to be approved, three of the other four commissioners must approve it, and if two commissioners are trading with each other, two of the remaining three commissioners must approve their trade
There will be no rules preventing playoff teams to trade up however far in the draft, but keep in mind if you’re a playoff team that wants to move up you’ll have to give up significant value if you want the trade to reach approval
To submit a trade, use this format for players and send it to one of the commissioners for a smoother process, and quicker response, you aren’t required to use this format, but you are much more likely to receive a swift response if you do. Player Name, Position, Overall, Age, Development, Years remaining on contract and salary/bonus
Trades will not be reviewed once the draft has begun, all trades must be submitted before the start of the draft if you want them to count for that off season or if you want to do a trade involving the present draft
No Trading with the CPU
Drafting
Tumblr media
Each team is allowed a maximum of three picks per round in the first two rounds of the draft. There is no pick limit for every other round of the draft
For the draft, each team will get their full clock to draft in the first and second rounds of the draft, for round 3 teams will get 1 minute, and for round 4 each team will get 30 seconds. Round 4 is as far as we’ll go, the rest of the draft will be simulated so we recommend you set your draft boards and monitor them throughout
Roster Management
Tumblr media
No changing players names unless explicitly told by the commissioners that you may do so
All users must match their players on their roster with their corresponding number range depending on their position as stated below:
QB/K/P: 1-19
DB/HB/FB: 20-49
WR: 10-19, 80-89
TE: 40-49, 80-89
OL: 50-79
DL: 40-79, 90-99
LB: 40-59, 90-99
You may NOT change the position of a player with one year remaining on their contract until AFTER they’ve signed an extension
Offensive Lineman are interchangeable
(LT, LG, C, RG, RT)
Defensive Backs are interchangeable
(CB, FS, SS)
Linebackers are interchangeable
(LOLB, MLB, ROLB)
Defensive Lineman are interchangeable
(RE, LE, DT)
DE to OLB or OLB to DE
(This is only allowed if you’re making a scheme change from 3-4 to 4-3 or vise versa)
ANY POSITION CHANGES NOT SHOWN ARE NOT ALLOWED
SUPERSTAR AND SUPERSTAR X-FACTOR PLAYERS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE THEIR POSITION CHANGED, THIS CAN AFFECT THEIR X-FACTOR ABILITY AMONG OTHER ABILITIES!
Incentives/Regression
Tumblr media
The Super Bowl Champion will receive a development trait to use on the player of their choosing, but must be used prior to the start of the first free agency period
The Super Bowl Champion will also be allowed to have the avatar of the group changed to whichever of their players that they want for the entirety of the next season, until the next Super Bowl
We will reverse the regression of all normal and star development players 71+ OVR (Post regression) AGE 29 and YOUNGER. We will also reverse all regression of Superstar & Superstar X-Factor Players AGE 31 and YOUNGER
Normal & Star Development Running backs regress at AGE 30, Superstar & Superstar X-Factor Dev at 31
Normal & Star Quarterbacks regress at AGE 36, Superstar & Superstar X-Factor Quarterbacks regress at AGE 38. Quarterbacks will lose their SPD, AGI, and ACC on par with all other positions (Age 30 for Normal and Star) (Age 32 for Superstar and Superstar X-Factor)
All other positions with normal & star development regress at 30, Superstar & Superstar X-Factor regress at 32
Commissioners also have the collective ability to determine if a player could have their regression reversed if their stats overall were very good, but they didn’t reach any of the specific milestones. However, commissioners cannot overturn regressions for players if they’ve reached the age where certain abilities can no longer be sustained, like giving a player 32+ their physically regressed traits back, etc
If a player 32+ meets the following stats, we will reverse the regression of all traits he loses, non physical (SPD,ACC,AGI,JMP,INJ,STA,STR,THP)
If a player 30-31 (Normal or Star Dev) meets the following stats for the most recent season, we will reverse ALL regression of all traits he loses, both physical and non physical
QB: 3500+ Yards OR 25+ TD
RB: 1,000+ Yards OR 12+ TD
WR: 1,000+ Yards OR 10+ TD
TE: 750+ Yards OR 8+ TD
OL: (Will Always Regress)
IDL: 40+ TKL OR 6+ Sacks
Edge: 10+ Sacks
Off Ball LB: 110 TKL
CB: 3 INTs OR 12+ PBUs
S 4 INTs OR 65+ Tackles.

Madden 20: Blast From The Past League Rules
Head Commissioner: AlecBP
Co-Commissioner: Redrum8992/Smoke
Co-Commissioner: Talleyketdet25
Co-Commissioner: i11_will1101/Jwill
Co-Commissioner: Jsun06
*ALL USERS are expected to know and be familiar with all of the rules. With that said, a small amount of leeway will be given within the first season of the league and to those who just recently joined*
League Overview
Be Mindful of other participants of the league, everyone has their own personal problems, responsibilities, and lives to deal with on a daily basis
This league is meant for casually competitive, mature users and we expect everyone to carry themselves as such
If you have any questions, issues, or concerns they should be brought directly to one of the commissioners
Our goal is to create the most realistic NFL experience that madden allows and to simulate the NFL as closely as possible without sacrificing fun aspects of the game itself
Intentionally losing games/sacrificing your season to get a higher draft pick, or “tanking”, is not allowed. The commissioners have the right to determine if a user is tanking or not, and also have the right to request private streams from users to determine if they are indeed tanking. If it is found that a user is tanking the commissioners will discuss and determine the punishment for said user depending on the varying circumstances
If a user is consistently losing by large margins, they’ll be removed from the league due to a lack of the ability to compete consistently. You don’t have to be great at the game or even good, but this rule is in place mainly to prevent consistent blowouts and non competitive teams that skew the overall stats and balance of the league
Absolutely NO PLAYING THE CPU NO EXCEPTIONS
When joining the league, make sure to create a coach. The purpose of this is to keep track of each user’s overall record throughout the franchise
Scheduling & Activity
Tumblr media
We will advance every 2 days (48 hours), or whenever all games are completed whichever comes first
All scheduling of games is expected to be done within the first few hours of advance. It is also recommended that you schedule your games in the main league chat for all commissioners to see so that if it is necessary to review the communication it can be done so easily and in a timely fashion
When scheduling your games agree to a SPECIFIC DATE & TIME with your opponent as opposed to “ I’m available anytime after X” for example
No-showing to an agreed upon time with an opponent without the courtesy of a heads-up is NOT OK. Show your opponent courtesy and respect. If you have to cancel the game then so be it, but people schedule their days around these games. Depending on your reputation and standing within the league a no-show to an agreed upon time may result in REMOVAL FROM THE LEAGUE. Even with a heads-up, too many missed times that are agreed upon will also result in removal from the league. Regardless, a missed time that was agreed upon will result in a sim loss for the user who missed the time if the game ultimately does not get played
General lack of communication is NOT TOLERATED, if the commissioners feel that you are being too inactive with your communication and are lacking a sense of urgency, to a reasonable degree, to communicate with your opponent regularly, then you’ll be removed from the league
If you will be unavailable for an extended period of time then let the commissioners know ahead of time. If you go off the grid without giving a heads-up to the commissioners, you’ll be removed from the league. Living your life is allowed, but too many extended absences will become problematic
Aside from extreme circumstances, failing to play 4 games in a single season due to scheduling conflicts that are deemed your fault will result in removal from the league
All Prime time games (Thursday Night, Sunday Night, Monday Night, London, etc) are expected to be streamed by the away team as well as all playoff games. If the away team is unable to stream, the home team will be requested to stream, but have the option to decline. When posting a stream, either tag a commissioner with the name of your username and the platform or tag a commissioner with the link
All games in the final six weeks are eligible to FLEX scheduling which allows commissioners to flex games that have playoff implications in the waning stages of the season
Beginning in the final four weeks, (week 14) and going forward until the conclusion of the Super Bowl, the league will shift to 24 hour advance which will help move the league along in the ladder stages of the season

When the league first opens you may NOT add any free agents or sign anyone until prompted by the commissioners to do so
For every preseason following the very first one, users will be allowed to add ONE free agent per week of the preseason. In the regular season, users are allowed to add as many free agents as they’d like to shape/mold their roster to fit whatever they want to do
Off season Free Agency will be done per standard procedure as users will attempt to bid on players that they want to add to their team, until a certain time in which the period will end, that will be predetermined by the commissioners and announced to league along with the rest of the off season schedule
Trading
Tumblr media
The first season will have a trade limit of one trade to allow users to fully learn the game before making major moves to change their roster
There will be no trade limit after the first season except when you trade with a team, you will not be able to trade with that team again for two full seasons. (Ex. If the Bills traded with the Redskins in the first season, they would not be able to make a trade with each other again until the third season)
Multi part trades ARE allowed, but the maximum number of players allowed in one trade, per team, is 4. There is no limit to the number of draft picks allowed in a trade
3+ team trades are not allowed
For a trade to be approved, you must submit your trade to one of the commissioners for them to then share with the other commissioners and come to a ruling. The commissioners will then give feedback on the trade telling you whether it was approved or declined, why, and how you can change it to an approved ruling if it was declined. For a Commissioner’s trade to be approved, three of the other four commissioners must approve it, and if two commissioners are trading with each other, two of the remaining three commissioners must approve their trade
There will be no rules preventing playoff teams to trade up however far in the draft, but keep in mind if you’re a playoff team that wants to move up you’ll have to give up significant value if you want the trade to reach approval
To submit a trade, use this format for players and send it to one of the commissioners for a smoother process, and quicker response, you aren’t required to use this format, but you are much more likely to receive a swift response if you do. Player Name, Position, Overall, Age, Development, Years remaining on contract and salary/bonus
Trades will not be reviewed once the draft has begun, all trades must be submitted before the start of the draft if you want them to count for that off season or if you want to do a trade involving the present draft
No Trading with the CPU
Drafting
Tumblr media
Each team is allowed a maximum of three picks per round in the first two rounds of the draft. There is no pick limit for every other round of the draft
For the draft, each team will get their full clock to draft in the first and second rounds of the draft, for round 3 teams will get 1 minute, and for round 4 each team will get 30 seconds. Round 4 is as far as we’ll go, the rest of the draft will be simulated so we recommend you set your draft boards and monitor them throughout
Roster Management
Tumblr media
No changing players names unless explicitly told by the commissioners that you may do so
All users must match their players on their roster with their corresponding number range depending on their position as stated below:
QB/K/P: 1-19
DB/HB/FB: 20-49
WR: 10-19, 80-89
TE: 40-49, 80-89
OL: 50-79
DL: 40-79, 90-99
LB: 40-59, 90-99
You may NOT change the position of a player with one year remaining on their contract until AFTER they’ve signed an extension
Offensive Lineman are interchangeable
(LT, LG, C, RG, RT)
Defensive Backs are interchangeable
(CB, FS, SS)
Linebackers are interchangeable
(LOLB, MLB, ROLB)
Defensive Lineman are interchangeable
(RE, LE, DT)
DE to OLB or OLB to DE
(This is only allowed if you’re making a scheme change from 3-4 to 4-3 or vise versa)
ANY POSITION CHANGES NOT SHOWN ARE NOT ALLOWED
Incentives/Regression
Tumblr media
The Super Bowl Champion will receive a development trait to use on the player of their choosing, but must be used prior to the start of the first free agency period
The Super Bowl Champion will also be allowed to have the avatar of the group changed to whichever of their players that they want for the entirety of the next season, until the next Super Bowl
We will reverse the regression of all normal and star development players 71+ OVR (Post regression) AGE 29 and YOUNGER. We will also reverse all regression of Superstar & Superstar X-Factor Players AGE 31 and YOUNGER
Normal & Star Development Running backs regress at AGE 30, Superstar & Superstar X-Factor Dev at 31
Normal & Star Quarterbacks regress at AGE 36, Superstar & Superstar X-Factor Quarterbacks regress at AGE 38. Quarterbacks will lose their SPD, AGI, and ACC on par with all other positions (Age 30 for Normal and Star) (Age 32 for Superstar and Superstar X-Factor)
All other positions with normal & star development regress at 30, Superstar & Superstar X-Factor regress at 32
Commissioners also have the collective ability to determine if a player could have their regression reversed if their stats overall were very good, but they didn’t reach any of the specific milestones. However, commissioners cannot overturn regressions for players if they’ve reached the age where certain abilities can no longer be sustained, like giving a player 32+ their physically regressed traits back, etc
If a player 32+ meets the following stats, we will reverse the regression of all traits he loses, non physical (SPD,ACC,AGI,JMP,INJ,STA,STR,THP)
If a player 30-31 (Normal or Star Dev) meets the following stats for the most recent season, we will reverse ALL regression of all traits he loses, both physical and non physical
QB: 3500+ Yards OR 25+ TD
RB: 1,000+ Yards OR 12+ TD
WR: 1,000+ Yards OR 10+ TD
TE: 750+ Yards OR 8+ TD
OL: (Will Always Regress)
IDL: 40+ TKL OR 6+ Sacks
Edge: 10+ Sacks
Off Ball LB: 110 TKL
CB: 3 INTs OR 12+ PBUs
S 4 INTs OR 65+ Tackles.

Madden 20: Blast From The Past League Rules
Head Commissioner: AlecBP
Co-Commissioner: Redrum8992/Smoke
Co-Commissioner: Talleyketdet25
Co-Commissioner: i11_will1101/Jwill
Co-Commissioner: Jsun06
*ALL USERS are expected to know and be familiar with all of the rules. With that said, a small amount of leeway will be given within the first season of the league and to those who just recently joined*
League Overview
Be Mindful of other participants of the league, everyone has their own personal problems, responsibilities, and lives to deal with on a daily basis
This league is meant for casually competitive, mature users and we expect everyone to carry themselves as such
If you have any questions, issues, or concerns they should be brought directly to one of the commissioners
Our goal is to create the most realistic NFL experience that madden allows and to simulate the NFL as closely as possible without sacrificing fun aspects of the game itself
Intentionally losing games/sacrificing your season to get a higher draft pick, or “tanking”, is not allowed. The commissioners have the right to determine if a user is tanking or not, and also have the right to request private streams from users to determine if they are indeed tanking. If it is found that a user is tanking the commissioners will discuss and determine the punishment for said user depending on the varying circumstances
If a user is consistently losing by large margins, they’ll be removed from the league due to a lack of the ability to compete consistently. You don’t have to be great at the game or even good, but this rule is in place mainly to prevent consistent blowouts and non competitive teams that skew the overall stats and balance of the league
Absolutely NO PLAYING THE CPU NO EXCEPTIONS
When joining the league, make sure to create a coach. The purpose of this is to keep track of each user’s overall record throughout the franchise
Scheduling & Activity
Tumblr media
We will advance every 2 days (48 hours), or whenever all games are completed whichever comes first
All scheduling of games is expected to be done within the first few hours of advance. It is also recommended that you schedule your games in the main league chat for all commissioners to see so that if it is necessary to review the communication it can be done so easily and in a timely fashion
When scheduling your games agree to a SPECIFIC DATE & TIME with your opponent as opposed to “ I’m available anytime after X” for example
No-showing to an agreed upon time with an opponent without the courtesy of a heads-up is NOT OK. Show your opponent courtesy and respect. If you have to cancel the game then so be it, but people schedule their days around these games. Depending on your reputation and standing within the league a no-show to an agreed upon time may result in REMOVAL FROM THE LEAGUE. Even with a heads-up, too many missed times that are agreed upon will also result in removal from the league. Regardless, a missed time that was agreed upon will result in a sim loss for the user who missed the time if the game ultimately does not get played
General lack of communication is NOT TOLERATED, if the commissioners feel that you are being too inactive with your communication and are lacking a sense of urgency, to a reasonable degree, to communicate with your opponent regularly, then you’ll be removed from the league
If you will be unavailable for an extended period of time then let the commissioners know ahead of time. If you go off the grid without giving a heads-up to the commissioners, you’ll be removed from the league. Living your life is allowed, but too many extended absences will become problematic
Aside from extreme circumstances, failing to play 4 games in a single season due to scheduling conflicts that are deemed your fault will result in removal from the league
All Prime time games (Thursday Night, Sunday Night, Monday Night, London, etc) are expected to be streamed by the away team as well as all playoff games. If the away team is unable to stream, the home team will be requested to stream, but have the option to decline. When posting a stream, either tag a commissioner with the name of your username and the platform or tag a commissioner with the link
All games in the final six weeks are eligible to FLEX scheduling which allows commissioners to flex games that have playoff implications in the waning stages of the season
Beginning in the final four weeks, (week 14) and going forward until the conclusion of the Super Bowl, the league will shift to 24 hour advance which will help move the league along in the ladder stages of the season
Users may also have 24 hours to play the Pro Bowl against their madden assigned counterpart from the opposing conference if they so choose. This time will also give the two teams in the Super Bowl a small window to prepare and game plan for the other. However, this is an option that will be decided by the two teams in the Super Bowl, whatever their preference is whether it is playing right then or giving the 24 hours, it will be up to them to decide
Gameplay
Tumblr media
No intentionally exploiting the AI
Players must ALWAYS rush at least 3 defenders on EVERY play
No heat seeker or ball hawk, if you believe your opponent has heat seeker or ball hawk on you must ask for their settings before the start of the second half in the main chat by tagging them along with the commissioners and a photo of the time remaining/quarter of the game in its’ current state. Every user is expected to check their phone prior to exiting the post game menu so that they may know for sure that they do or do not have to take a video of their settings. If all requirements are met by the user asking to see the settings and the opposing user fails to show their settings it will be an automatic 2 game suspension with the potential of increase if the offense is repeated, but if the requirements are not met by the requesting team the request will be deemed null and void. It will also result in a 2 game suspension if the user is found to have ball hawk and/or heat seeker active for that game
Turn off previous play art
Chew Clock is not allowed at any point in the game unless both teams mutually come to an agreement to do so. If your opponent is using chew clock without your consent, contact a commissioner and if you provide proof they will be reprimanded in some way
Quitting a game is NOT tolerated and will result in an automatic 4 game suspension on first offense with a higher potential punishment if the offense is repeated. If both teams mutually agree to end the game early in the second half, the team that is losing the game can exit the game via the pause menu and madden will save the score and stats, but this is only allowed if both teams mutually agree to these terms.
In the event that a game gets disconnected users are expected to come to a fair and reasonable agreement as to how to handle the situation going forward, however if both parties cannot come to an agreement they are to refer to the commissioners on what to do with the situation
Onside Kicks can be done at any point in the game by either team regardless of the situation
Regular Season games will all have 8 minute quarters, Post Season games will all have 9 minute quarters.
4th Down
Tumblr media
On fourth down situations you may go for it in regular situations if you are at or past the 50 yard line and it is 4th and 3 or less, there is no limit to going for it if the fourth down situation matches these criteria. You may also go for it from any point on the field from any distance if you are trailing by 3 or more scores (17+ Points) You may also go for it at any time within the fourth quarter from any point on the field at any distance if you are up by 8 points or less or are trailing by any number of points. You also get one use of a 4th down attempt (A Freebie) that can be used from anywhere on the field, at any time, with any down and distance
Anything goes in Overtime as the whole period can be considered a “game time decision”
If any aspect of the 4th down rule is broken and evidence is shown to the commissioners, a punishment will be given to the user who broke the rule depending on the number of times they’ve broken the rule in this situation and previously
Playbooks
Tumblr media
Users will be allowed to use every and any team specific playbook that they so choose from a game to game basis
Use of custom playbooks or madden generic playbooks is NOT allowed. There will be no exceptions to this rule
Show your playbooks to your opponent prior to the start of a game to confirm that both you and your opponent are in fact using team playbooks
Free Agency
Tumblr media
When the league first opens you may NOT add any free agents or sign anyone until prompted by the commissioners to do so
For every preseason following the very first one, users will be allowed to add ONE free agent per week of the preseason. In the regular season, users are allowed to add as many free agents as they’d like to shape/mold their roster to fit whatever they want to do
Off season Free Agency will be done per standard procedure as users will attempt to bid on players that they want to add to their team, until a certain time in which the period will end, that will be predetermined by the commissioners and announced to league along with the rest of the off season schedule
Trading
Tumblr media
No Trading allowed in the first regular and preseason. Trading will open up in the first off season
There will be no trade limit except when you trade with a team, you will not be able to trade with that team again for two full seasons. (Ex. If the Bills traded with the Redskins in the first season, they would not be able to make a trade with each other again until the third season)
Multi part trades ARE allowed, but the maximum number of players allowed in one trade, per team, is 4. There is no limit to the number of draft picks allowed in a trade
3+ team trades are not allowed
For a trade to be approved, you must submit your trade to one of the commissioners for them to then share with the other commissioners and come to a ruling. The commissioners will then give feedback on the trade telling you whether it was approved or declined, why, and how you can change it to an approved ruling if it was declined.

Normal & Star Quarterbacks regress at AGE 36, Superstar & Superstar X-Factor Quarterbacks regress at AGE 38
All other positions with normal & star development regress at 30, Superstar & Superstar X-Factor regress at 32
Commissioners also have the collective ability to determine if a player could have their regression reversed if their stats overall were very good, but they didn’t reach any of the specific milestones. However, commissioners cannot overturn regressions for players if they’ve reached the age where certain abilities can no longer be sustained, like giving a player 32+ their physically regressed traits back, etc
If a player 32+ meets the following stats, we will reverse the regression of all traits he loses, non physical (SPD,ACC,AGI,JMP,INJ,STA,STR,THP)
If a player 30-31 (Normal or Star Dev) meets the following stats for the most recent season, we will reverse ALL regression of all traits he loses, both physical and non physical
QB: 3500+ Yards OR 25+ TD
RB: 1,000+ Yards OR 15+ TD
WR: 1,000+ Yards OR 10+ TD
TE: 750+ Yards OR 8+ TD

Off Ball LB: 110 TKL

Madden 20: Blast From The Past League Rules
Head Commissioner: AlecBP
Co-Commissioner: Redrum8992/Smoke
Co-Commissioner: Talleyketdet25
Co-Commissioner: i11_will1101/Jwill
Co-Commissioner: Jsun06
*ALL USERS are expected to know and be familiar with all of the rules. With that said, a small amount of leeway will be given within the first season of the league and to those who just recently joined*
League Overview
Be Mindful of other participants of the league, everyone has their own personal problems, responsibilities, and lives to deal with on a daily basis
This league is meant for casually competitive, mature users and we expect everyone to carry themselves as such
If you have any questions, issues, or concerns they should be brought directly to one of the commissioners
Our goal is to create the most realistic NFL experience that madden allows and to simulate the NFL as closely as possible without sacrificing fun aspects of the game itself
Intentionally losing games/sacrificing your season to get a higher draft pick, or “tanking”, is not allowed. The commissioners have the right to determine if a user is tanking or not, and also have the right to request private streams from users to determine if they are indeed tanking. If it is found that a user is tanking the commissioners will discuss and determine the punishment for said user depending on the varying circumstances
If a user is consistently losing by large margins, they’ll be removed from the league due to a lack of the ability to compete consistently. You don’t have to be great at the game or even good, but this rule is in place mainly to prevent consistent blowouts and non competitive teams that skew the overall stats and balance of the league
Absolutely NO PLAYING THE CPU NO EXCEPTIONS
When joining the league, make sure to create a coach. The purpose of this is to keep track of each user’s overall record throughout the franchise
Scheduling & Activity
Tumblr media
We will advance every 2 days (48 hours), or whenever all games are completed whichever comes first
All scheduling of games is expected to be done within the first few hours of advance. It is also recommended that you schedule your games in the main league chat for all commissioners to see so that if it is necessary to review the communication it can be done so easily and in a timely fashion
When scheduling your games agree to a SPECIFIC DATE & TIME with your opponent as opposed to “ I’m available anytime after X” for example
No-showing to an agreed upon time with an opponent without the courtesy of a heads-up is NOT OK. Show your opponent courtesy and respect. If you have to cancel the game then so be it, but people schedule their days around these games. Depending on your reputation and standing within the league a no-show to an agreed upon time may result in REMOVAL FROM THE LEAGUE. Even with a heads-up, too many missed times that are agreed upon will also result in removal from the league. Regardless, a missed time that was agreed upon will result in a sim loss for the user who missed the time if the game ultimately does not get played
General lack of communication is NOT TOLERATED, if the commissioners feel that you are being too inactive with your communication and are lacking a sense of urgency, to a reasonable degree, to communicate with your opponent regularly, then you’ll be removed from the league
If you will be unavailable for an extended period of time then let the commissioners know ahead of time. If you go off the grid without giving a heads-up to the commissioners, you’ll be removed from the league. Living your life is allowed, but too many extended absences will become problematic
Aside from extreme circumstances, failing to play 4 games in a single season due to scheduling conflicts that are deemed your fault will result in removal from the league
All Prime time games (Thursday Night, Sunday Night, Monday Night, London, etc) are expected to be streamed by the away team as well as all playoff games. If the away team is unable to stream, the home team will be requested to stream, but have the option to decline. When posting a stream, either tag a commissioner with the name of your username and the platform or tag a commissioner with the link
All games in the final six weeks are eligible to FLEX scheduling which allows commissioners to flex games that have playoff implications in the waning stages of the season
Beginning in the final four weeks, (week 14) and going forward until the conclusion of the Super Bowl, the league will shift to 24 hour advance which will help move the league along in the ladder stages of the season
Users may also have 24 hours to play the Pro Bowl against their madden assigned counterpart from the opposing conference if they so choose. This time will also give the two teams in the Super Bowl a small window to prepare and game plan for the other. However, this is an option that will be decided by the two teams in the Super Bowl, whatever their preference is whether it is playing right then or giving the 24 hours, it will be up to them to decide
Gameplay
Tumblr media
No intentionally exploiting the AI
Players must ALWAYS rush at least 3 defenders on EVERY play
No heat seeker or ball hawk, if you believe your opponent has heat seeker or ball hawk on you must ask for their settings before the start of the second half in the main chat by tagging them along with the commissioners and a photo of the time remaining/quarter of the game in its’ current state. Every user is expected to check their phone prior to exiting the post game menu so that they may know for sure that they do or do not have to take a video of their settings. If all requirements are met by the user asking to see the settings and the opposing user fails to show their settings it will be an automatic 2 game suspension with the potential of increase if the offense is repeated, but if the requirements are not met by the requesting team the request will be deemed null and void. It will also result in a 2 game suspension if the user is found to have ball hawk and/or heat seeker active for that game
Turn off previous play art
Chew Clock is not allowed at any point in the game unless both teams mutually come to an agreement to do so. If your opponent is using chew clock without your consent, contact a commissioner and if you provide proof they will be reprimanded in some way
Quitting a game is NOT tolerated and will result in an automatic 4 game suspension on first offense with a higher potential punishment if the offense is repeated. If both teams mutually agree to end the game early in the second half, the team that is losing the game can exit the game via the pause menu and madden will save the score and stats, but this is only allowed if both teams mutually agree to these terms.
In the event that a game gets disconnected users are expected to come to a fair and reasonable agreement as to how to handle the situation going forward, however if both parties cannot come to an agreement they are to refer to the commissioners on what to do with the situation
Onside Kicks can be done at any point in the game by either team regardless of the situation
4th Down
Tumblr media
On fourth down situations you may go for it in regular situations if you are at or past the 50 yard line and it is 4th and 3 or less, there is no limit to going for it if the fourth down situation matches these criteria. You may also go for it from any point on the field from any distance if you are trailing by 3 or more scores (17+ Points) You may also go for it at any time within the fourth quarter from any point on the field at any distance if you are up by 8 points or less or are trailing by any number of points. You also get one use of a 4th down attempt (A Freebie) that can be used from anywhere on the field, at any time, with any down and distance
Anything goes in Overtime as the whole period can be considered a “game time decision”
If any aspect of the 4th down rule is broken and evidence is shown to the commissioners, a punishment will be given to the user who broke the rule depending on the number of times they’ve broken the rule in this situation and previously
Playbooks
Tumblr media
Users will be allowed to use every and any team specific playbook that they so choose from a game to game basis
Use of custom playbooks or madden generic playbooks is NOT allowed. There will be no exceptions to this rule
Show your playbooks to your opponent prior to the start of a game to confirm that both you and your opponent are in fact using team playbooks
Free Agency
Tumblr media
When the league first opens you may NOT add any free agents or sign anyone until prompted by the commissioners to do so
For every preseason following the very first one, users will be allowed to add ONE free agent per week of the preseason. In the regular season, users are allowed to add as many free agents as they’d like to shape/mold their roster to fit whatever they want to do
Off season Free Agency will be done per standard procedure as users will attempt to bid on players that they want to add to their team, until a certain time in which the period will end, that will be predetermined by the commissioners and announced to league along with the rest of the off season schedule
Trading
Tumblr media
No Trading allowed in the first regular and preseason. Trading will open up in the first off season
There will be no trade limit except when you trade with a team, you will not be able to trade with that team again for two full seasons. (Ex. If the Bills traded with the Redskins in the first season, they would not be able to make a trade with each other again until the third season)
Multi part trades ARE allowed, but the maximum number of players allowed in one trade, per team, is 4. There is no limit to the number of draft picks allowed in a trade
3+ team trades are not allowed
For a trade to be approved, you must submit your trade to one of the commissioners for them to then share with the other commissioners and come to a ruling. The commissioners will then give feedback on the trade telling you whether it was approved or declined, why, and how you can change it to an approved ruling if it was declined. For a Commissioner’s trade to be approved, three of the other four commissioners must approve it, and if two commissioners are trading with each other, two of the remaining three commissioners must approve their trade
There will be no rules preventing playoff teams to trade up however far in the draft, but keep in mind if you’re a playoff team that wants to move up you’ll have to give up significant value if you want the trade to reach approval
To submit a trade, use this format for players and send it to one of the commissioners for a smoother process, and quicker response, you aren’t required to use this format, but you are much more likely to receive a swift response if you do. Player Name, Position, Overall, Age, Development, Years remaining on contract and salary/bonus
Trades will not be reviewed once the draft has begun, all trades must be submitted before the start of the draft if you want them to count for that off season or if you want to do a trade involving the present draft
No Trading with the CPU
Drafting
Tumblr media
Each team is allowed a maximum of three picks per round in the first two rounds of the draft. There is no pick limit for every other round of the draft
For the draft, each team will get their full clock to draft in the first and second rounds of the draft, for round 3 teams will get 1 minute, and for round 4 each team will get 30 seconds. Round 4 is as far as we’ll go, the rest of the draft will be simulated so we recommend you set your draft boards and monitor them throughout
Roster Management
Tumblr media
No changing players names unless explicitly told by the commissioners that you may do so
All users must match their players on their roster with their corresponding number range depending on their position as stated below:
QB/K/P: 1-19
DB/HB/FB: 20-49
WR: 10-19, 80-89
TE: 40-49, 80-89
OL: 50-79
DL: 40-79, 90-99
LB: 40-59, 90-99

Please note, these changes are ONLY ALLOWED IN THE OFF SEASON, ABSOLUTELY NO POSITION CHANGES ARE ALLOWED DURING THE REGULAR OR PRE SEASON! (The one exception to this is the first preseason, in the first preseason you will be allowed to make position changes)
Any Player with 1 year remaining on their contract must have the position change approved by a commissioner beforehand
Offensive Lineman are interchangeable
(LT, LG, C, RG, RT)
Defensive Backs are interchangeable
(CB, FS, SS)
Linebackers are interchangeable
(LOLB, MLB, ROLB)
Defensive Lineman are interchangeable
(RE, LE, DT)
DE to OLB or OLB to DE
(This is only allowed if you’re making a scheme change from 3-4 to 4-3 or vise versa)
ANY POSITION CHANGES NOT SHOWN ARE NOT ALLOWED
Incentives/Regression
Tumblr media
The Super Bowl Champion will receive a development trait to use on the player of their choosing, but must be used prior to the start of the first free agency period
We will reverse the regression of all normal and star development players 71+ OVR (Post regression) AGE 29 and YOUNGER. We will also reverse all regression of Superstar & Superstar X-Factor Players AGE 31 and YOUNGER
Normal & Star Development Running backs regress at AGE 30, Superstar & Superstar X-Factor Dev at 31
Normal & Star Quarterbacks regress at AGE 36, Superstar & Superstar X-Factor Quarterbacks regress at AGE 38
All other positions with normal & star development regress at 30, Superstar & Superstar X-Factor regress at 32
Commissioners also have the collective ability to determine if a player could have their regression reversed if their stats overall were very good, but they didn’t reach any of the specific milestones. However, commissioners cannot overturn regressions for players if they’ve reached the age where certain abilities can no longer be sustained, like giving a player 32+ their physically regressed traits back, etc
If a player 32+ meets the following stats, we will reverse the regression of all traits he loses, non physical (SPD,ACC,AGI,JMP,INJ,STA,STR,THP)
If a player 30-31 (Normal or Star Dev) meets the following stats for the most recent season, we will reverse ALL regression of all traits he loses, both physical and non physical

General lack of communication is NOT TOLERATED, if the commissioners feel that you are being too inactive with your communication and are lacking a sense of urgency, to a reasonable degree, to communicate with your opponent regularly, then you’ll be removed from the league
If you will be unavailable for an extended period of time then let the commissioners know ahead of time. If you go off the grid without giving a heads-up to the commissioners, you’ll be removed from the league. Living your life is allowed, but too many extended absences will become problematic
Aside from extreme circumstances, failing to play 4 games in a single season due to scheduling conflicts that are deemed your fault will result in removal from the league
All Prime time games (Thursday Night, Sunday Night, Monday Night, London, etc) are expected to be streamed by the away team as well as all playoff games. If the away team is unable to stream, the home team will be requested to stream, but have the option to decline. When posting a stream, either tag a commissioner with the name of your username and the platform or tag a commissioner with the link
All games in the final six weeks are eligible to FLEX scheduling which allows commissioners to flex games that have playoff implications in the waning stages of the season
Beginning in the final four weeks, (week 14) and going forward until the conclusion of the Super Bowl, the league will shift to 24 hour advance which will help move the league along in the ladder stages of the season
Users may also have 24 hours to play the Pro Bowl against their madden assigned counterpart from the opposing conference if they so choose. This time will also give the two teams in the Super Bowl a small window to prepare and game plan for the other. However, this is an option that will be decided by the two teams in the Super Bowl, whatever their preference is whether it is playing right then or giving the 24 hours, it will be up to them to decide
Gameplay
Tumblr media
No intentionally exploiting the AI
Players must ALWAYS rush at least 3 defenders on EVERY play
No heat seeker or ball hawk, if you believe your opponent has heat seeker or ball hawk on you must ask for their settings before the start of the second half in the main chat by tagging them along with the commissioners and a photo of the time remaining/quarter of the game in its’ current state. Every user is expected to check their phone prior to exiting the post game menu so that they may know for sure that they do or do not have to take a video of their settings. If all requirements are met by the user asking to see the settings and the opposing user fails to show their settings it will be an automatic 2 game suspension with the potential of increase if the offense is repeated, but if the requirements are not met by the requesting team the request will be deemed null and void. It will also result in a 2 game suspension if the user is found to have ball hawk and/or heat seeker active for that game
Turn off previous play art
Chew Clock is not allowed at any point in the game unless both teams mutually come to an agreement to do so. If your opponent is using chew clock without your consent, contact a commissioner and if you provide proof they will be reprimanded in some way
Quitting a game is NOT tolerated and will result in an automatic 4 game suspension on first offense with a higher potential punishment if the offense is repeated. If both teams mutually agree to end the game early in the second half, the team that is losing the game can exit the game via the pause menu and madden will save the score and stats, but this is only allowed if both teams mutually agree to these terms.
In the event that a game gets disconnected users are expected to come to a fair and reasonable agreement as to how to handle the situation going forward, however if both parties cannot come to an agreement they are to refer to the commissioners on what to do with the situation
Onside Kicks can be done at any point in the game by either team regardless of the situation
4th Down
Tumblr media
On fourth down situations you may go for it in regular situations if you are at or past the 50 yard line and it is 4th and 3 or less, there is no limit to going for it if the fourth down situation matches these criteria. You may also go for it from any point on the field from any distance if you are trailing by 3 or more scores (17+ Points) You may also go for it at any time within the fourth quarter from any point on the field at any distance if you are up by 8 points or less or are trailing by any number of points. You also get one use of a 4th down attempt (A Freebie) that can be used from anywhere on the field, at any time, with any down and distance
Anything goes in Overtime as the whole period can be considered a “game time decision”
If any aspect of the 4th down rule is broken and evidence is shown to the commissioners, a punishment will be given to the user who broke the rule depending on the number of times they’ve broken the rule in this situation and previously

The commissioners will then give feedback on the trade telling you whether it was approved or declined, why, and how you can change it to an approved ruling if it was declined. For a Commissioner’s trade to be approved, three of the other four commissioners must approve it, and if two commissioners are trading with each other, two of the remaining three commissioners must approve their trade
There will be no rules preventing playoff teams to trade up however far in the draft, but keep in mind if you’re a playoff team that wants to move up you’ll have to give up significant value if you want the trade to reach approval
To submit a trade, use this format for players and send it to one of the commissioners for a smoother process, and quicker response, you aren’t required to use this format, but you are much more likely to receive a swift response if you do.

Madden 20: Blast From The Past League Rules
Head Commissioner: AlecBP Co-Commissioner: Redrum8992/Smoke Co-Commissioner: Talleyketdet25 Co-Commissioner: i11_will1101/Jwill Co-Commissioner: Jsun06
*ALL USERS are expected to know and be familiar with all of the rules. With that said, a small amount of leeway will be given within the first season of the league and to those who just recently joined*
League Overview
Be Mindful of other participants of the league, everyone has their own personal problems, responsibilities, and lives to deal with on a daily basis
This league is meant for casually competitive, mature users and we expect everyone to carry themselves as such
If you have any questions, issues, or concerns they should be brought directly to one of the commissioners
Our goal is to create the most realistic NFL experience that madden allows and to simulate the NFL as closely as possible without sacrificing fun aspects of the game itself
Intentionally losing games/sacrificing your season to get a higher draft pick, or “tanking”, is not allowed. The commissioners have the right to determine if a user is tanking or not, and also have the right to request private streams from users to determine if they are indeed tanking. If it is found that a user is tanking the commissioners will discuss and determine the punishment for said user depending on the varying circumstances
If a user is consistently losing by large margins, they’ll be removed from the league due to a lack of the ability to compete consistently. You don’t have to be great at the game or even good, but this rule is in place mainly to prevent consistent blowouts and non competitive teams that skew the overall stats and balance of the league
Absolutely NO PLAYING THE CPU NO EXCEPTIONS
When joining the league, make sure to create a coach. The purpose of this is to keep track of each user’s overall record throughout the franchise
Scheduling & Activity
Tumblr media
We will advance every 2 days (48 hours), or whenever all games are completed whichever comes first
All scheduling of games is expected to be done within the first few hours of advance. It is also recommended that you schedule your games in the main league chat for all commissioners to see so that if it is necessary to review the communication it can be done so easily and in a timely fashion
When scheduling your games agree to a SPECIFIC DATE & TIME with your opponent as opposed to “ I’m available anytime after X” for example
No-showing to an agreed upon time with an opponent without the courtesy of a heads-up is NOT OK. Show your opponent courtesy and respect. If you have to cancel the game then so be it, but people schedule their days around these games. Depending on your reputation and standing within the league a no-show to an agreed upon time may result in REMOVAL FROM THE LEAGUE. Even with a heads-up, too many missed times that are agreed upon will also result in removal from the league. Regardless, a missed time that was agreed upon will result in a sim loss for the user who missed the time if the game ultimately does not get played
General lack of communication is NOT TOLERATED, if the commissioners feel that you are being too inactive with your communication and are lacking a sense of urgency, to a reasonable degree, to communicate with your opponent regularly, then you’ll be removed from the league
If you will be unavailable for an extended period of time then let the commissioners know ahead of time. If you go off the grid without giving a heads-up to the commissioners, you’ll be removed from the league. Living your life is allowed, but too many extended absences will become problematic
Aside from extreme circumstances, failing to play 4 games in a single season due to scheduling conflicts that are deemed your fault will result in removal from the league
All Prime time games (Thursday Night, Sunday Night, Monday Night, London, etc) are expected to be streamed by the away team as well as all playoff games. If the away team is unable to stream, the home team will be requested to stream, but have the option to decline. When posting a stream, either tag a commissioner with the name of your username and the platform or tag a commissioner with the link
All games in the final six weeks are eligible to FLEX scheduling which allows commissioners to flex games that have playoff implications in the waning stages of the season
Beginning in the final four weeks, (week 14) and going forward the league will shift to 24 hour advance which will help move the league along in the ladder stages of the season

Every user is expected to check their phone prior to exiting the post game menu so that they may know for sure that they do or do not have to take a video of their settings. If all requirements are met by the user asking to see the settings and the opposing user fails to show their settings it will be an automatic 2 game suspension with the potential of increase if the offense is repeated, but if the requirements are not met by the requesting team the request will be deemed null and void. It will also result in a 2 game suspension if the user is found to have ball hawk and/or heat seeker active for that game
Turn off previous play art
Chew Clock is not allowed at any point in the game unless both teams mutually come to an agreement to do so. If your opponent is using chew clock without your consent, contact a commissioner and if you provide proof they will be reprimanded in some way

Giants team to beat in the NFC? Bengals, Ravens both undefeated at the top of the AFC North, Saints fire head coach
1. New York Giants (5-0)- Through five weeks the Giants look like the best team in the NFC and arguably the best team in the NFL. They just got their fifth win and first division win this past week that put them at an NFL Best 5-0 and sends them into their bye before having to travel to New Orleans in week 7. Because the Giants finished last in the NFC East last season, they were given a pretty soft strength of schedule this year which has enabled them to start off 5-0 and the lead of the NFC East. Although they’ve looked good to this point, they still have 5 division games to play throughout the remainder of their schedule and will want to win the majority of those games if they hope to maintain their hold over the NFC East.
2. Cincinnati Bengals (4-0)- The Bengals just go another win this past week against the Chargers which followed their bye. Through four games, the Bengals have beaten two playoff teams from last year in the Patriots and the Buccs, which should give them confidence in general going forward for this organization. They’ll be hosting the Jaguars who are another playoff squad from last season as they hope to kick their record up to 5-0 and 3-0 against playoff teams from last season.
3. Baltimore Ravens (5-0)- What has been pretty much the most surprising storyline in the league so far this season, the Ravens have been able to start at a very strong 5-0 and are another team you can make a case as the best team in the league up to this point. They’ve beaten the rival Browns, the Falcons, and the Broncos who have all looked like pretty strong team so far this season, but couldn’t overcome the appearing juggernaut that is the Ravens. They’re up against Cleveland again this week in an early rematch game that could have big repercussions come playoff time.
4. Green Bay Packers (4-0-1)- An unsurprising team up to this point, Green Bay looks every bit like the 14-2, #1 seed that they were last season so far this season. After a quality 28-16 victory over the Rams last week, the Packers will aim to get a win against the Bears this week that would put them to 5-0-1 and 2-0 within the NFC North which would only increase their likelihood of taking the division and have more people see them as the favorite to win the NFC this season.
5. Arizona Cardinals (4-0-1)- The Cardinals have also looked very good up to this point as they’ve yet to lose a game, but did tie one with the Packers in week 1. The real big point for AZ is that they’ve won both of their division games that they have played in so far and look like the heavy favorite to win the NFC West again this year. A win over the Chiefs last week got them to 4-0-1 and sets them up with a good opportunity to go to 5-0-1 with a win over the struggling Vikings this week.
6. New England Patriots (4-1)- Other than the 38-31 hiccup that was the loss to the Bengals in week 3, the Patriots have continued to win in dominating fashion as no other team has come within 3 scores of the Patriots this season. This team may be flying a little under the radar with the Bengals and Ravens looking so good thus far in the AFC, but they really shouldn’t with the talent and pedigree that they have. They’ll look to get up to a relatively quiet 5-1 with win over the Texans this week.
7. Detroit Lions (4-1)- Detroit won another game last week over the Bears which starts them off 3-1 in the division which is a great start for a team making a push for the Division Title, but the bad news is the one loss is to the division leading and NFC Heavy Weight Green Bay Packers meaning that the Lions essentially need to beat Green Bay if they want to finally break through and become a legitimate contender for a home game come January. 
8. Washington Redskins (3-1)- Washington took their first loss of the season to the Giants last week which put them behind the Giants in the division by a game. It’s still early, but through the first four weeks the Redskins certainly seem improved from last year and if they’re able to win the remainder of their division games they’ll have a very good shot at taking the East. Washington will look to shake off the bad game against the G-men last week and move forward to the Colts and get back on track this week.
9. Philadelphia Eagles (3-1)- Another NFC East squad at 3-1, the Eagles are trying to come right out of their bye from this last week and get going as the NFC East is as a competitive division as there is in the NFL. They’ll look to begin their post bye season with a win over Carolina this week but are likely looking forward to the week 8 matchup between the Giants who currently hold the #1 spot and the lead in the East.
10. Cleveland Browns (3-2)- Cleveland is off to a shaky start winning a game to begin the season, then losing, the winning again, then losing again, before getting another victory against the division rival Steelers this past week. The way they’ve started the season this next matchup against the Ravens should be penciled in as a loss, but I’m sure the Browns don’t see it that way as they will do everything in their power to avoid being swept by the currently undefeated Baltimore Ravens. A loss would not be good at all for the Browns hopes at winning the division as they would have fell to Baltimore twice in the season already and enter their bye at a mediocre 3-3 so they’ll definitely aim to avoid that outcome at all costs.
11. Dallas Cowboys (3-2)- The Defending Super Bowl Champs started off sluggish to say the least, but have fired off 3 consecutive victories putting them at a respectable 3-2 mark going into their bye this week. With the 0-2 start that the Cowboys began with, they are currently at the bottom of the East, but will likely not be a team to give up very easily as they’ll look to build on the momentum they already have with a win against the Falcons in week 7 out of their bye.
12. Jacksonville Jaguars (3-2)- The Jaguars have also started off kind of inconsistently, but have a good opportunity to make their presence felt with a win in Cincinnati this week. Jacksonville isn’t seen any more as just an above average team at the moment, but a win against the AFC Juggernaut that is the Bengals right now would certainly bolster their outlook and their confidence going into their week 7 bye.
13. Carolina Panthers (3-2)- Carolina got the win over the Saints last week getting them to 3-2 and sets them up with a tough road matchup in Philly on a short week. If the Panthers want to win this game they’ll have to really come at the Eagles with everything they’ve got and make plays happen instead of waiting for things to happen. Looking at the NFC South division as a whole, it’s pretty much wide open right now and a Panthers win could go a long way in determining an early season favorite for who the winner might be.
14. Los Angeles Rams (2-2)- The Rams lost their second consecutive game last week against the Packers on SNF and have fallen to 2-2 after a 2-0 start. With the Cardinals playing how they are right now, the Rams really need this win hosting the Seahawks this upcoming week for energy, confidence, and the whole nine yards if they want to be in the mix for the division down the stretch.
15. Atlanta Falcons (2-2)- Atlanta is coming off their bye in week 5 and have a tough 4 game stretch coming up on their schedule that features the Bucs twice, the Eagles, and the Cowboys. If Atlanta want to win the South this year beating the Bucs goes a long way and even if they could go 3-1 through that stretch would be very impressive. Not to mention that three of the four matchup are on SNF on top of all the stakes and boundaries. 
16. Denver Broncos (2-2)- Another team that started 2-0, and fell to 2-2, the Broncos rested up on a bye week and hopefully used it to regather and regain their composure as they have a big game against the Chiefs on Thursday Night this week. A win could really help impose their will on the AFC West early as no team within the division seems like a legitimate contender to this point.
17. Pittsburgh Steelers (2-2-1)- Tough loss for the Steelers this past week which dropped them to .500 with a pair of wins, a pair of losses, and a tie to this point. The Steelers will want to really get something going this week in New Orleans because if they don’t get something going soon they could be in trouble with the rest of the way the AFC North is shaping out so far.
18. Houston Texans (2-3)- Houston has won a pair of games straight after starting 0-3 and could really improve morale. confidence, and their overall reputation for this season with a win in Foxborough this week. The AFC South isn’t particularly strong, at least from what we’ve seen so far which should give the Texans some optimistim despite their rough start they still seem like a quiet favorite to overtake the Jaguars and win the division.
19. New York Jets (2-3)- The Jets just took 3 brutal division losses in the span of 4 weeks which tells everyone that, yet again, this is not the year for the Jets. They still have numerous position that need to be addressed and are still in a rebuilding phase as they just don’t have the players to line up and beat the opposing team for 4 quarters every week.
20. Tennessee Titans (2-3)- The Titans took a tough L to Houston in Houston this past week which now send them into their bye at 2-3. Like the Texans though, the Titans don’t have to press the panic button because of the current mediocrity of the AFC south division and will just need to take the bye week to gather themselves and come back strong against the Redskins in week 7. 
21. San Francisco 49ers (2-3)- The 9ers have seemed more competitive so far this season than last season, but still don’t quite seem like the team to beat in the West and don’t seem like a team that will be contending for any playoff spots this year. This team is still too young and inexperienced to make the leap into the playoffs and are likely using this season as a learning experience for the younger players on their team. 
22. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-3)- The loss of Jameis Winston against the Eagles closes so many doors and opportunities for this team and opens many more for the remainder of the NFC South as it’s clearly wide open with #3 sidelined for a good amount of time. The Bucs were unable to compete with either the Eagles or Dallas the past two weeks putting the importance of the loss of Winston on full display.
23. Kansas City Chiefs (2-3)- The Chiefs have lost two games straight, but have a good chance to get right back on top of the West with a win over Denver this week. The AFC West as a whole looks abysmal to this point meaning that any four of teams could make a run at the title and might only have to get 8-9 wins to do so. 
24. Oakland Raiders (1-2-1)- Perhaps the most disappointing team of the season so far, the Raiders have managed just a single win while tying one game and losing two more. Despite their rough start, the Raiders can relax in knowing that the rest of the division isn’t far ahead because of the complete lack of a complete team within the West.
25. Minnesota Vikings (1-4)- Minnesota just doesn’t look good after five weeks and with the way the Packers and Lions are playing don’t seem likely to overcome this slump and win the division. They still seem like they lack some pieces and are still developing/building their team to their full liking before becoming a team to watch out for.
26. Chicago Bears (1-4)- Chicago took a tough loss to the Lions last week which pretty much sets them in the same boat as the Vikings considering their team and circumstances are very similar to each other. The Bears will just need to get some more pieces before making a legitimate run at the North.
27. Miami Dolphins (1-4)- Miami hasn’t looked good like a lot of the other teams that are ranked down here. Letting Jarvis Landry go in the offseason seemed like a statement that they were letting some pieces go and trying to start over from scratch and their current record seems like an effect of that mindset and action.
28. Indianapolis Colts (1-4)- The Colts started well, but have dropped four straight games and seem like another team that is clearly too young and lacks talent for them to really make any real noise in the AFC South even as shaky as it has been so far this season.
29. Buffalo Bills (1-4)- Buffalo is one of the teams that is still clearly rebuilding and we had known about it since before the season began. They still need to assemble parts of their team before creating a team that is formidable enough to take on the Patriots.
30. New Orleans Saints (0-4)- The Saints reportedly fired their head coach and have decided to go in a new direction which is likely a breath of fresh air for a franchise that is in desperate need of an injection of youth and new ideas to be competitive in the near future.
31. Los Angeles Chargers (0-5)- The Chargers look flat out terrible and I honestly don’t know what they’re doing as it seems they’ve not even been competitive with any team and they just look demoralized and lethargic week in and week out.
32. Seattle Seahawks (0-5)- Seattle is another winless team that doesn’t look very good, but seems like it’s even more puzzling and confusing than any other team’s struggles as they have a lot of pieces it just seems they’re not being utilized correctly.

Another week, another tie, Pats break consecutive regular season win record, Chargers shutout for second week in a row.
1. New England Patriots (2-0)- The Pats officially broke the record of consecutive regular season wins (previously held by the 08-09 Indianapolis Colts) with the 50-9 victory over the Jets this past week. That streak will be in real jeopardy of ending this week as the Patriots will play host to a team that is also 2-0 in the Cincinnati Bengals on MNF. The Patriots have been dominant in the regular season for a season and a half, not losing a single one, but now face likely the toughest matchup they’ve faced throughout that stretch as they’ll have to deal with the young speedster of a WR John Ross and the electric Bengals offense.
2. Philadelphia Eagles (2-0)- Impressive victory for the Eagles dominating the Colts and showing off their many weapons on both sides of the football. The Eagles are 2-0 with the Giants and Redskins in the NFC East and are up against the Defending Super Bowl Champion, 0-2 Dallas Cowboys in week 3 in Philly. If the Eagles win this game, they would put the Cowboys in a huge hole as they’d be 0-3 with all 3 losses coming from within the division. This is a huge opportunity for Philly who would likely scrap the Cowboys’ season with a win and would also be able to keep pace with the raging Giants and Redskins.
3. Denver Broncos (2-0)- Quality victory for the Broncos last week in Cleveland, there were many obvious questions as to if the Broncos opener against LAC was merely a fluke and that the Broncos weren’t for real. A win in Cleveland takes a step toward being viewed as a true contending team, but doesn’t cement it by any means. Next up, a road matchup against a 2-0 Baltimore Ravens team who’s also looking good to begin the 2018 campaign.
4. Cincinnati Bengals (2-0)- Really good win over the Bucs as they beat them 33-17 and proved that they are still able to handle their business when they have to. They’re now 2-0 and have an opportunity to potentially be viewed as the best team in football with a win in Foxborough before entering their bye week. Win, lose, or draw for the Bengals they’ve had a good start to the season and are looking like they’ll be in the discussion as to who’s going to represent the AFC come January.  
5. Los Angeles Rams (2-0)- Two up and two down for the Rams who are off to a good start to the 2018 campaign after going 10-6 and falling just short of the playoffs last season. This game against the Cardinals however, is bigger than the previous two games combined because it’s a division game and they Rams were unable to get the win over the Cardinals two times last year which ultimately led to the Cardinals winning the NFC West Title. A win on SNF against the Cardinals going into their bye would be a HUGE win that would give the Rams a 1 and a half game advantage over Arizona and could set the tone on how the whole season will play out.
6. Washington Redskins (2-0)- Talk about big division wins as that’s exactly what the Redskins were able to get last week against the Cowboys. They were able to win by way of a game winning field goal to give them the 36-34 win and send the Cowboys to 0-2 while rising to 2-0 themselves. Their rushing attack has been very dangerous to open the season and will likely only improve their reputation against Seattle this week.
7. New York Giants (2-0)- Another win for the Giants who move to 2-0 and match the Redskins and Eagles. With the competitive nature of this NFC East division, it was imperative that the Giants were able to get off to a quicker start than last year and they’ve done just that as they are now 2-0 and tied in 1st for now. They’ll face a young SF9ers team that just lost their first game of the season this past week and don’t matchup well with the G-men on paper which gives the Giants a good shot at starting 3-0 out of the gate.
8. Detroit Lions (2-0)- Detroit also got a solid division victory up against their opponent the Minnesota Vikings which sent Minnesota to 0-2 and themselves up to 2-0. This week they’ll be playing in a more important matchup than they potentially have all season up against the Packers. A win will be significant for the Lions who would take the lead in the division by a game and a half and could potentially set the tone for the remainder of the season within the NFC North.
9. Baltimore Ravens (2-0)- One of the many surprises up to this point in the season already, Baltimore ended last season as the second team in NFL History to go 0-16 in a single season, but have added pieces and changed management since then and are 2-0 to begin the campaign this year as the only thing to remain the same in the NFL from year to year is parity. They’ll go up against another 2-0 team in the Denver Broncos in hope of keeping pace with the heavily stacked AFC North and maintaining their perfect record for this season.
10. Green Bay Packers (1-0-1)- Green Bay got off to a rocky start against AZ in week 1 as they fell victim to the unsatisfying “tie”. They got back into their rhythm last week against Seattle and hope to carry that momentum over to this week against the division rival Lions. If the Packers expect to win the division again this season a win against the Lions would be a good, big step toward achieving that goal and that’s what they’ll be trying to do this week.
11. Arizona Cardinals (1-0-1)- AZ got the shutout victory over the struggling Chargers last week which gave them their first win of the season and will now be up against the divisional opponent Rams squad. A win for Arizona would only make their dominance over the Rams look more so than it was before as they were able to sweep them last season which was instrumental in helping them clinch the division title.  
12. Pittsburgh Steelers (1-0-1)- PIT got off to the nice start with the win over Carolina in week 1, but weren’t able to gain an edge over the Raiders this past week as they went to OT and tied in the bout. The Steelers now fall a half game behind both Baltimore and Cincinnati, but get a half game lead over the Browns who lost. It should be interesting to see how this tie comes into play within the division and within the conference down the road as it happened between two playoff teams from last year. PIT will now look to try to get back on track against Atlanta this week.
13. Jacksonville Jaguars (1-1)- Jacksonville gets their first win of the year this past week after starting with a loss in the opener against Washington. They'll now be up against a Colts team that just got smacked by the Eagles the previous week and will look to get back on track themselves. This is an important game early as all early division games are with both teams wanting to grab early leads in the division. 
14. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1-1)- Tampa fell to the Bengals this past week, and will attempt to get back on track against the Saints this upcoming week. Despite losing the game, the Bucs are in a division where no one team will be able to establish their dominance in the early going, but eventually a victor will emerge so all that to say that there’s a lot of season left and a lot of things can happen.
15. Carolina Panthers (1-1)- Carolina bounced back with a win against the Saints this past week and will look to build on that victory with another victory against the Bears this upcoming week. Carolina is also in the mix of teams within the NFC South that will be competing for it until the end.
16. Kansas City Chiefs (1-1)- Chiefs get in the win column by defeating the 9ers 29-13 and will now play a big game against the Raiders on TNF. A win against Oakland this week would be absolutely huge as they’ll be 2-1 and would send Oakland to 0-2-1 on the season. KC really wants to win this one as it will certainly give them an early advantage over the Raiders and will allow them to keep up with Denver to this point.
17. Cleveland Browns (1-1)- Cleveland suffered a one point loss to the Broncos, but get the luxury of playing the poor Chargers who have yet to score a point this season which will be a good opportunity for the Browns to bounce back. Assuming the Browns are able to bounce back with a win that will set up an early season matchup with the Baltimore Ravens in a crucial AFC North battle.
18. San Francisco 49ers (1-1)- The 9ers fall after getting the win in week 1 which puts them at 1-1 and will now have a tough matchup against the Giants in week 3. They’ll want to avoid digging themselves a tremendous hole like they did last season as they hope to be able to keep up with the Rams and Cardinals at the top of the division, but again this is a team that is rebuilding still so going .500 wouldn’t be a bad sign of progress.
19. Miami Dolphins (1-1)- Miami gets their first win against Buffalo with a 37-27 victory and will now host the winless Vikings in a game that is crucial for both squads. A win for Miami would get them over .500 and enable them for success in the early going whereas a loss could be a painful reminder to their lack of talent.
20. New York Jets (1-1)- NYJ falls to NE expectantly and in turn to 1-1. If they actually hope of competing this year beating the Pats would be something that is crucial for that process, but they’ll get an opportunity at a bounce back week against the Houston Texans this week. A win would put the Jets at 2-1 and would set them up with a rematch with the Pats in week 4 that would give them an additional opportunity to prove themselves early.
21. Indianapolis Colts (1-1)- The Colts were flat out embarrassed by the Eagles this past week which sets them back to 1-1 and sends them to Jacksonville in a game they almost have to win to gain an advantage early in the year within the division. Indy would like to forget all about the game against the Eagles last week and a win this week would certainly help them do that.
22.  Oakland Raiders (0-1-1)- Oakland is off to a surprise poor start as they lost their first game against the Ravens 26-10 and now tied their next game against Pittsburgh 28 all. They almost need to get a win against the Chiefs to gain some momentum and positive energy early this season if they want to be able to defend their division title down the stretch.
23. Dallas Cowboys (0-2)- Perhaps the most surprising storyline to this point in the season, Dallas falls to 0-2 and are seemingly in a Super Bowl Hangover. They really HAVE to get this win against the Eagles this week as a loss would not only send them to 0-3, but 0-3 within the division this early would be almost back-breaking. 
24. Minnesota Vikings (0-2)- Minnesota falls to 0-2 as well, but aren’t in as desperate of a needed win as the Cowboys are, but then again would really like to get a win this week in Miami. They need to start getting victories if they have any hopes at all of keeping pace with the Packers this season.
25. Atlanta Falcons (0-2)- They started last season slow and ended up finishing red hot, as they are seemingly repeating that process out of the gate this year as they’re 0-2 to begin the 2018 campaign and would really like a bounce back victory versus the Steelers this week.
26.Tennessee Titans (0-2)- Tennessee has began the season with two losses, but will have a good chance at getting a win as they’re traveling to an equally struggling Bills team this week that could get them their first win of the season. Their whole division seems to be struggling early in the season, though which gives them a glimmer of hope despite not having a win to this point.
27. Buffalo BIlls (0-2)- Buffalo has also started 0-2 as previously mentioned and hope to get on the winning side of the road starting this week hosting the Titans. It’s still early, but as it stands right now the Bills don’t seem capable of overtaking the Pats within the division again this year, so a win would go a long way later in the season for a potential wildcard slot.
28. Seattle Seahawks (0-2)- Seattle wasn’t nearly as close to victory this past week against the Packers as they were against the Lions in week 1. They hope to get a win, but it seems unlikely as they’re playing the Redskins who look as good as anybody through two weeks.
29. Chicago Bears (0-2)- The Bears are already behind Detroit and Green Bay with two games and two losses so a win against Carolina this week would go a long way at maybe getting them going down a road that sees them catching their divisional foes later.
30. Houston Texans (0-2)- Through two games Houston has disappointed as they have been two losses against what were two quality opponents. The problem with the Texans last year seemed to be the inability to beat higher quality opponents on a consistent basis and it has seemingly carried into this season to this point.
31. New Orleans Saints (0-2)- The Saints also don’t look very good to this point and have yet to play a game that was within two scores through two games which isn’t a good sign if you’re a Saints fan.
32. Los Angeles Chargers (0-2)- The Chargers haven’t scored a point yet which warrants their bottom ranking and makes them look really bad at this point in the season, especially when other teams in their division are having early season woes.

Is the GOAT on the move?, Broncos route Chargers, AFC North all 1-0
*These Rankings are based mainly on the current season, however reputation from previous seasons has influence*
1. New England Patriots (1-0)- There’s the Patriots we all know and love showing up to regular form dominating the Titans 41-7 lead by their aggressive defense that lead the league in turnover differential last season and got off to a good start this game with 6 takeaways. This win marks the 23rd consecutive regular season victory dating all the way back to 2016 which ties the record for most consecutive regular season victories in a row with the 08-09 Indianapolis Colts at 23 straight. It was a great team win for the Patriots and they’re back to playing quality 4 quarter football, but the bigger storyline seems to be the benching of the GOAT, Tom Brady, in way of the rookie QB, Vince Diem. Could this mean that Brady could be on the move?
2. Philadelphia Eagles (1-0)- The Eagles seem to have read the headlines and watched the film this offseason as they broke free of a 3 game losing streak to the Dallas Cowboys this past week. The Eagles seemingly had visible animosity toward Dallas as they should’ve and brought it to Dallas beating them 26-13 on the strength of 7 sacks and 5 takeaways. If the Eagles could do that to the Cowboys, then they’re sure as hell gonna be able to do it to most of the other teams in the league and are already a looking like a very scary team even this early in the year.
3. Cleveland Browns (1-0)- Cleveland got a nice all-around victory last week rounding out the top 3 with 3 of the 4 conference championship participators from last season. Cleveland forced 4 turnovers and gained over 200 yards rushing as they were able to ground and pound the Texans en route to a 33-21 victory and edged Houston 13-7 in the 4th quarter. In other news surrounding this team, franchise Quarterback, DeShone Kizer and speedy Wide Receiver Corey Coleman have been reportedly traded to the Titans for Marcus Mariota and Rishard Matthews talk about a shocking turn of events that could make for some interesting discussions...
4. Denver Broncos (1-0)- What a way to start your season off if you’re a Broncos fan as they started fast right out of the gate dominating LAC 42-0 and are the only team to have won in the AFC West after week 1. Two defensive Touchdowns and FOURTEEN Takeaways were the headline of this amazing week 1 victory for the Broncos. Still can’t believe that happened as it looks weird even in text 14 turnovers in a single game, wow. 
5. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1-0)- Solid win for the Bucs powered by the rookie RB Steven Still’s rookie debut of 105 yards and FIVE TDs on 26 carries. That paired with the 4 takeaways by their defense and their ability to mix in the passing game with their rushing attack lead TB to a 1-0 start and an early, early, early favorite to win the South with every other team losing this past week. They’ll be heading to Cincy this week to take on the Bengals in a game where two teams that share a lot in common will face off in an interconference matchup.
6. Cincinnati Bengals (1-0)- John Ross, John Ross, and more John Ross for the Bengals. The kid is electric, he is explosive, and he is determined as he went 15-249-3 to lead the Bengals to 41 points and 356 total yards. His yardage total was almost 70% of the Bengals total output which is absolutely unheard of for any player, much less a WR. This kid is something special and if he keeps these types of performances up they’ll have to change their name to John Ross’ team. Next up for John Ross and the rest, a home game against a tough Bucs unit looking to make their mark early and often this season.
7. Pittsburgh Steelers (1-0)- Good first game for the Steelers, it wasn’t a flashy win or a light up the stat sheet win, but it was enough to go 1-0 as they came away with the 19-17 win over Carolina. Pittsburgh’s Defense was able to force 5 turnovers and hold Carolina to just 154 yards of total offense and the offense did the rest totaling 290 yards of total offense and getting the narrow win 19-17. PIT will be up against a Raiders’ team looking for a bounce back after getting beat by Baltimore last week.
8. Los Angeles Rams (1-0)- Good first game for the Rams as their hyped up defense didn’t quite live up to their billing this past week, but their unvalued offense certainly did as they put up a quality 40 point, 399 yard effort lead by the 140 yard effort from Rob Kelly. The slow start by the defense is understandable because there are a lot of moving parts and new pieces that will likely need a few weeks of real game speed football to gain chemistry and start producing at a higher level. With the way this offense performed and the potential of this defense, this could be a team to look out for a little later in the season. 
9. Washington Redskins (1-0)- Good start for Washington gaining a ridiculous 262 rushing yards this past week that lead them to a 27-17 victory over the Jaguars. The very good Offensive line that the Redskins have that include Trent Williams and Brandon Scherff paved big holes all game for the Redskins backs that also did more than their part as Keith Marshall gained over 100 yards and newly acquired back Isaiah Crowell fell 4 yards short of 100 himself. This team reminds fans of the old school Redskins with John Riggins and the Hogs which is a very good thing seeing as that team won their fair share of ball games to say the least.
10. New York Giants (1-0)- Tough, gritty win for the Giants narrowly edging the Vikings 10-9. Although they did get the win and their defense did hold up very well through the contest giving up only a field goal, the offense was only able to get a field goal themselves as the game ultimately was decided by a missed extra point from kicker Nick Novak and gave the Giants the 10-9 victory. If you’re a Giants fan, you’re happy about the win, but you want to see more from your offense which struggled a lot last season and are in a division where being able to play complete, four quarter football is essential if you want to be successful.
11. Detroit Lions (1-0)- Good victory for the Lions, but nothing spectacular to look at, just your good old fashioned 13-10 dogfight that resulted in a Lions victory. Despite the offense not scoring many points, playing turnover free football was a big plus and is something they’ll want to continue throughout the entirety of the season. Next up an early season division game against the Minnesota Vikings who just came out of their own defensive slugfest against the Giants.
12. Baltimore Ravens (1-0)- A win for the Ravens, something that didn’t happen all of last year good on them starting it off right. Good victory for the Ravens as they played ball control low turnover possibility football and came away with the sixteen point victory. A big plus for outscoring the Raiders 17-0 in the fourth quarter which is something they’d love to do every game as it seemed their power type football wore down the Raiders and they were able to break through and get a good win over a good football team. 
13. Indianapolis Colts (1-0)- Good start for the Colts because of the win, but they did play sloppy football and were fortunate that the Dolphins weren’t able to turn those turnovers into more points. If they want to win on a consistent basis it would be wise to turnover the ball significantly less than they did this past week. Other than that, they did play well gaining 137 yards on the ground led by newly acquired free agent, Spencer Ware and was well complimented by his QB Andrew luck as he picked up 30 yards on the ground himself. The Defense was also pretty strong as they were able to come into multiple sudden change situations and lock up to help lead Indy to 1-0.
14. San Francisco 49ers (1-0)- Good start for the 9ers who were able to add more than a few pieces during the offseason and seem like a newly rejuvenated football team getting the 26-18 victory over the Bears lead by two defensive Touchdowns. They’ll want more offensive production next week as they were only able to manage 12 offensive points this week. 
15. New York Jets (1-0)- Good win for the Jets as their balanced offensive attack that was able to toal 391 yards and 41 points lead them to a 4 point victory over the division rival Bills. Two good young players played very well for the Jets one being second year running back Elijah McGuire as he totaled 152 yards and 3 TDs on 19 carries and rookie QB Ciante Miller who had a nice debut throwing for 215 yards a pair of INTS and a pair of TDs. Though this team showed potential and an improvement talent wise, I don’t see them beating the defending AFC Champs next week.
16. Green Bay Packers (0-0-1)- A tie is always a weird result and doesn’t settle well for either side, a tie in week 1 is something completely different. It was just a bizarre game of football as both teams struck back and forth between each other for 5 quarters and neither could come out on top. The only reason the Packers are ranked ahead of Arizona is purely because of the quality year they had last season, but otherwise they could be flip flopped it’s just speculation on a strange game.
17. Arizona Cardinals (0-0-1)- Arizona’s new offensive cornerstones had an interesting debut to say the least as Cam Newton threw 1 TD, but 2 INTs and Jarvis Landry went 5-75-1. Although it was a valiant effort by both squads, no one could land the finishing blow and it ended in a tie so just something both teams will have to accept and move on to next week.
18. Minnesota Vikings (0-1)- Minnesota’s Defense played a phenomenal game, but a missed extra point and a lethargic offense lead to a 10-9 defeat at the hands of the Giants. It’s just week 1, but the Vikings already look like the same old team that was unable to generate much offense a year ago and will want to get the train rolling early starting this week against the division rival Lions.
19. Carolina Panthers (0-1)- Tough break for Carolina as they fell just two points short of knocking off the Steelers last week. Their rookie QB looked every bit of a rookie totaling a QBR of 15.3 and looking pretty much lost on most snaps last week as the Panthers were only able to gain 154 total yards of offense. They’ll want a turnaround for the whole offense and will have a good shot at it as they draw the questionable Saints defense this week.
20. Jacksonville Jaguars (0-1)- Blake Bortles. Whenever this team seems like it’s on the brink of something special and it could really make noise Bortles is always there in the way. It’s as if they need Ronald Reagan to come and tell the Jaguars management to tear down the wall that is Blake Bortles. Another poor performance of just 106 yards 0 TDs and 2 INTs is just another page in the novel of reasons why they should get someone else to lead this football team, but I’m just speculating. In other news, the Jags run defense didn’t perform very well this past week either surrendering a load of yardage, but that’s not so much the Jags defense as it is the quality of the Redskins rushing attack.
21. Chicago Bears (0-1)- Tough loss for the Bears whose self inflicted wounds ultimately lead to their demise. 14 of their opponents 26 points came from defensive scores as the Bears shot themselves in the foot and just about gave this football game away. They’d like to chalk this up as just a slow start and bounce back with a win against the Rams next week.
22. Buffalo Bills (0-1)- Buffalo took a narrow four point defeat to the Jets last week, but were able to display some impressive offensive firepower particularly from rookie running back Corlus Holland who was able to get 112 yards and a pair of scores on 24 carries. The young running back’s debut means two things, Buffalo will have something to cheer for this year, and veteran HB LeSean McCoy is likely OTB.
23. Dallas Cowboys (0-1)- Bad loss for the Defending Super Bowl Champions who were defeated by the division rival Eagles 26-13. Five giveaways and just 90 pass yards headline what was an all around poor performance by Dallas and an excellent performance by the Eagles. Dallas is currently the only 0-1 team in the division and fall to the Eagles for the first time in the most recent 4 matchups.
24. Seattle Seahawks (0-1)- Seattle fell on the bad end of a slugfest as they lost 13-10 to the Lions last week. Seattle was at least competitive which is already an improvement on last year’s overall takeaway especially considering the quality of their opponent. If they increase their offensive output this upcoming game against Green Bay they’ll at the very least have a shot a winning the ball game.
25. Houston Texans (0-1)- Bad first game for Houston overall as DeShaun Watson’s  4 INTs were a big reason why they fell 33-21 to the Browns last week. They’ll definitely want to cut down on the giveaways this week and get back to playing the complimentary, team football they were able to play for the majority of last year. They’ll look to get on track against the G-men this week in what should be a nice matchup.
26. Atlanta Falcons (0-1)- Atlanta really didn’t play that bad, they just didn’t play as well as the Rams. The Falcons were able to gain 215 rushing yards and put up 27 points, but they just didn’t show up in the final frame as they were outscored 10-0 in the 4th quarter. If they can finish the ball game this week against the Ravens they’ll have a solid shot at winning the game.
27. Oakland Raiders (0-1)- Oakland’s offensive confusion continues as they totaled just 177 total yards of offense and 10 points. If they want to be seen as a legitimate contender to win it all, they NEED to be able to move the ball at a constant rate and be able to manufacture points on a consistent basis. It’s the little things that prevent teams like this from breaking out and going on phenomenal runs.
28. Kansas City Chiefs (0-1)- Tough loss for the Chiefs who struggled all of last season as rookie QB Patrick Mahomes had his growing pains, but it seemed those pains may have slipped into this season. He threw 5 INTs and continues to be a turnover machine that isn’t able to get into a rhythm for a good amount of time. He needs to get his mechanics and reads down if he wants his game to improve from last season.
29. Miami Dolphins (0-1)- The Dolphins lose to start off the 2018 campaign in large thanks to a 4 INT showing of Ryan Tannehill who, at this point doesn’t seem to be the answer at QB for Miami. If the Dolphins want a shot at winning something this year giving another QB a shot is a reasonable first step.
30. New Orleans Saints (0-1)- An expected loss for a rebuilding Saints team who’s loss of Drew Brees was clear in the loss against Tampa this past week. This team will just want to get their young players reps and develop them in hopes of competing down the line.
31. Tennessee Titans (0-1)- I would say that Mariota’s bad performance caused this loss and the Titans seemed inept and incompetent last week, but a trade with the Browns that ships Mariota and brings in Kizer changes the landscape. We’ll see what we can see from this team next week in Jacksonville thanks to the crazy shift of players and parity. 
32. Los Angeles Chargers (0-1)- The 2018 season couldn’t have started worse for the Chargers who were defeated 42-0 by the division rival Denver Broncos and showed no signs that their team has any better of a chance than they have in the recent past. The Chargers will want to reflect and then discard the game film from this past week as they hope to make this game a distant memory in a few weeks.
