Communication Rules

Our league communicates exclusively through Discord. Both Parties are responsible for scheduling with in the first 24 hours of each advance.

Games that have not started within 60 minutes of advance will be simulated.

The limit for sims in a season is 3. Once you reach 3 sims you will be immediately replaced. Our Goal is to assure our members they will get the most competitive franchise experience so free wins will not be tolerated.

Note: If both parties agree to simulate the game due to scheduling or other conflicts, the game will not be applied towards a player’s sim count. Missing games to participate in live events is also excusable, we encourage our league members to represent themselves in all facets of competitive Madden game play.

Madden Underground Challenges:

By incorporating unique challenges for each team in different tiers, whether they are offense or defense-oriented, the league becomes more engaging and enjoyable for all participants. These challenges not only add excitement to the gameplay but also create a dynamic and competitive environment, fostering friendly rivalries among the participants.

The challenges are carefully designed to vary in difficulty based on the tier levels, with Tier 1 teams facing more demanding objectives compared to lower-tier teams. This balance ensures that all participants are equally challenged and have opportunities for growth and development as they strive to meet their quarterly tasks.


Releasing players: If you release a player, he cannot be signed back to your team for 2 advances (Unless it is during the off-season free agent bidding period when all 32 owners have a chance to bid)
