Chew Clock

Excessive Offsides

• Neither the offense nor the defense should purposefully go offsides with the intent of delaying the game nor exhibiting unsportsmanlike conduct.

• Intent is at the sole discretion of League Officials.

Improper Audibles

• Competitors may not audible from the QB kneel, wildcat, field goal, or punt formations.

Custom Playbooks

• Competitors may not use custom playbooks for any PlayVS Madden NFL league.

• A custom playbook is any offensive/defensive playbook generated by a Player that consists of plays from multiple teams or custom-created plays.

• Players may still select unique teams/playstyles for their in-game roster, offensive, and defensive playbook. For example, a player may select:

  • The Dallas Cowboys for their team.

  • The Offensive Playbook of Air Raid.

  • The Defensive Playbook of the Baltimore Ravens.

Overtime

• Madden NFL overtime rules will mirror traditional NFL Football rules.

• Both teams will have the opportunity to possess the ball. Until both teams have completed at least one (1) possession, overtime will continue.

• Once both teams have completed at least one (1) possession, the team in the lead (or the next team to score on their future possession) will win the match.
