Basic sim guidelines
*using multiple offensive and defensive sets
*play calling that is diversified
*sim style plays (punting when and where appropriate)
Unacceptable practices in the sim section
*Pulling players off the LOS during ANY play before the snap is not allowed(punt or otherwise)
*Shifting D-Line past their normal shifts - no manual shifts
*Going for 4th in unrealistic times in the game (losing in the 2nd quarter by a TD and going for it on your side of the field is not realistic.)
*No Audibling down (i.e. from shotgun to I-formation, or dime to a 4-3)
*Goal-line formation only should be used in short yardage situations (3 yards or less for a 1st down or touchdown)
*No audilbing right out of the playcalling screen
*No excessive motioning (once across and back is enough)
*No hiking the ball while a player is in motion, excluding green auto-motion plays.
*Milking the clock under 2 minutes in the first half and two minutes left in the game is allowed. Other than that, please pick and run your play as quickly as possible
*No quitting
*Just because you see it in the NFL doesn't mean that it should be done in the sim section.
*No use of the rocket catch - please pm archer for futher details if you are unsure about what an RC is/looks like

To stay an active member in the community you must follow these basic rules
1. No Complaining - If you have a problem with someone's game, PM them and clear it up. Then play the game again. If you are unable to clear it up, PM Saluki or Archer2k407 and let us know what the problem is and we will mediate.
2. No Quitting - If you get disconnected, quit the game and meet back up in the lobby to replay the game. Quitting is not acceptable. PM the person and try to get it resolved. Quitting will count as a strike towards being banned from the madden section.
3. Conceding - conceding is up to the 2 players who are playing each other. It's up to the participants of the game to decide if it is ok to concede. Please be courteous to your opponent, if it's a blow out and they want to concede, let them concede.
.
4. RESPECT YOUR OPPONENT - We hope that is enough said - if not, no name calling. Remember that some people are playing these games with their children watching...We know the difference between kidding around and taking things to far....
5. Pausing before/during game - When someone pauses the game, whether it'd be at the start of the game, or in the middle of the game. DO NOT HIT RESUME GAME until you see the timer start to countdown. This includes before the game, most will pause to set their depth chart, allow them ample time to do so before u press resume game.
4th downs
-Are allowed at anytime of the game if its 4th and inches, as long as it is on your OPPONENTS SIDE of the field.
-You will have ONE "Coach's Choice" per half. This means that you can go for it on 4th down from anywhere on the field, no matter the distance, ONCE per half if you choose. Fake punt does count as your coaches choice should you choose to run it.
-In the second half, it is allowed to go for it on 4th down if you are down by 3 or more touchdowns(21 or more points) from anywhere on the field.
