VI. Playing Rules - Depth Charts, Substitutions and Pre-Game Adjustments
NOTE on Game Play Rules: All the rules we have in place are to ensure league games are played "sim". While there are many rules in place, true "sim-style" players will never have an issue abiding by them.
Depth Chart Adjustments[/u]- Madden '10 allows for depth chart adjustments to be made prior to entering into a game. For the sake of saving time, league members should set their depth charts before connecting to play a league game.
Players are restricted to playing their own positions in the depth chart. Wide receivers cannot play running back, safeties cannot play linebackers, etc. There are a few exceptions to this rule:
Offense
A) Top rated WR cannot be placed #3 or #4 on the depth chart (prevents them from starting every play from the slot)
B) TE can play FB and vice versa
Defense
A) DEs and DTs can play any defensive line positions
B) LBs can play any LB position
C) DBs can play any defensive back position (CB, FS, SS)
Special Teams
A) Punters or kickers can be listed as the kick-off specialist (KOS)
B) Any player on the roster can be used as a PR and/or KR
Play Screen Packages[/u]- On the play calling screen, there are many different packages to choose from (HB swap, HB slot, WR slot, etc.). These packages can be used within reason (i.e. once every set of downs). Players like Reggie Bush and LaDainian Tomlinson will sometimes line up at WR in real life. Use the play screen packages to accomplish this without making illegal adjustments to the depth charts.
Pre-Game Adjustments[/u]- Prior to the game, you must allow your opponent ample time to set defensive matchups, adjust audibles, etc. While this shouldn't be a 10 minute process, show enough respect to your opponent to let him get his team set up.
