The draft rules don't apply to this league.
As a general overview (these are not going to be down to the specifics)
- All of your possessions should end in a kick or turnover. Going for it on 4th down when you are winning, tied, or it would otherwise be unrealistic (anything over 1 yard). I am generally okay with you going for on it past your opponent's 40 as long as it is 4th and <8 yards to go.
- Shifts and controlling user players:
1. Do not zig zag run on breakaways. Do not run parallel to the goalline on a long TD play or DEF/ST TD as a means to burn clock/show off.
2. You may control any player you want on defense pre-snap but manually moving guys into the box outside of the play art is banned. Trying to time the snap as a blitzing LB/DB is also banned. Use your shift audibles. If your opponent is gouging you with his rushing attack, don't try these cheap stunts. Adapt your scheme. Calling quarters all game and complaining about your opponent's "money run plays" is not going to fly.
The first player you manually move on defense- that is, without using a shift/audible call- is the one you must control for that play.
3. With this in mind, run commit is allowed. Use it at your own risk.
4. NO user catching on offense or defense. If I catch you repeatedly doing this in user games, you will be booted. One or two mess-ups a game as you adjust to this rule is okay, just tell your opponent what happened.
- A standard of sportsmanship applies here. Don't run up the score, pad stats, go for ridiculous records, or abuse money plays, hot routes, or other various forms of cheese. Use of chew clock in user games is banned unless it is a blowout and you receive express permission via PM or PSN message from to use it to accelerate the end of an ugly game.
If I see you regularly throwing for 700 yards, scoring 70+ points over and over again against terrible CPU defenses, or adding late unnecessary TDs to pad stats, especially if they are your starters at the end of a blowout, I will suspend them. Using a suspended player during a week when they are suspended will result in you being suspended for a game or two. Use your mass subs. I will be much more lenient with scores by your reserves later in games.
I've never had to do that but every dynasty I've been in always has one guy who tries to get 10000 total yards of offense every year or score 70 in every game.
The rules thread covers most of this in similar or greater detail. I know this looks like a lot, but I assure you, they are quite easy to follow. Just be a respectful, sim player and we'll all get along like one big dysfunctional family.
Oh and by the way- any user issues should be addressed by first talking to your opponent about it and then myself if you cannot agree to it.
