My friends and I run online simulated franchises to see who can build the best teams and ultimately make it to the Super Bowl.

I like rebuilding the Dolphins, and I’ve completed four-year rebuilds three times. However, the same issue occurs every time.

There appears to be a glitch with the Dolphins where the quarterback rushes the ball 100+ times per season, regardless of the quarterback, playbook, or offensive scheme being used.

For example, in one franchise, I traded for Jordan Love and switched to the Packers playbook. Despite this, Jordan Love rushed for 133 attempts in back-to-back seasons.

In another franchise, I had a friend use the Dolphins and trade for Matthew Stafford specifically to test whether the issue was related to the quarterback. Stafford still rushed the ball 111 times in the season.

In another simulation with me as the Jets the Dolphins drafted a Rookie Quarterback and he rushed 100 times his rookie season  

This issue significantly hurts the Dolphins’ simulated offensive performance and makes the team very difficult to use in franchise rebuilds. The fact that it happens with different quarterbacks, playbooks, and schemes makes it appear to be an issue specific to the Dolphins rather than the individual quarterback or playbook.

Open teams:
Falcons, Panthers, Buccaneers, Dolphins, Steelers, Texans, Jaguars, Broncos, Giants, Commanders, Packers, Bears, 49ers, Cardinals

Regular season starts September 5th. If we fill quickly enough, I’m planning to open preseason around August 27th so everyone can get games in and give feedback before the season.

Any fresh leagues with raiders hmu! I have a real good track record on madden community! Just looking for active league

Just bought the game and all im seeing is how busted franchise is once you get past the first year, so is it even worth taking the time to start a franchise save right now? Is there a way to use some sliders to fix the problems? If not, and the best thing to do is wait till they fix things, when will likely the next big update be?

**32 team league**, cross-platform (PS5 + Xbox), full fantasy draft,

**3 open teams** right now - and join for **WAITING LIST**.

**Teams Open - Fantasy Draft Sunday 10 AM ET**

*Minnesota Vikings [MIN]

New England Patriots [NE]

Washington Commanders [WAS]*

We've run this league for **10+ seasons** now, same commissioner the whole

time. No crashouts, no cheating, no corruption. If you've been burned

by a league falling apart mid season, that's exactly what we don't do.

This isn't a MUT league. No spamming the same broken play forty times

a game because you've got it perfected. We run:

- Min rush attempts + min pass attempts every game

- Season stat balance: **your WR1 can't outproduce your WR2 + WR3 combined**

- No glitch plays, no known exploits

- Twitch streaming required for your games, keeps everyone honest and

gives the rest of the league something to watch

You still get real freedom to play your game, we just don't let

anyone break the game to win.

League runs on **NeonSportz.com**,

standings, rosters, schedules, all in one place.

:date: Draft: `Saturday Aug 23, 10am EST`. 25 rounds, plan for a few hours.

Serious players only, this isn't a draft you show up late to.

Looking to start a franchise for players based in Europe so we can play at reasonable times for us with good connections. If you’d be interested please comment or dm.

A Madden league IMO is one of the coolest, unique hobbies I’ve ever had. It’s like fantasy football except you have complete team control and actually maybe have a chance to control your own destiny. I actually have Madden to thank for kinda killing fantasy football for me (ok maybe FanDuel tag teamed with Madden a little bit).

It also just means a little more for your competitive side when you win because you’re the one pressing the buttons.

I honestly believe that if more people knew about this niche little hobby, it would have a much bigger audience. It just doesn’t serve EA in any way to foster that based on what we’ve seen from them.

There are so many leagues out there on Reddit/Discord, but in the AI slop recruiting poster era, it kinda feels impossible to distinguish them.

Also, as someone who’s used just about every practical social media avenue to recruit for a Madden league over the years, it sucks to not have one dedicated place to organize / recruit / look for leagues.

So this one is for the commissioners:

What separates your league from the rest of the Madden community? Is there anything unique about it?

Hi, with Madden 27 I will try to create a Madden franchise league based in Europe.

[CROSSPLAY] [NEW LEAGUE] 🏈 THE UNC STATUS LEAGUE (USL) 🏈

WE ARE NOW RECRUITING!

Me and my buddy have played Franchise every year, and this year we finally decided to build our own league and bring some other people along for the ride.

We’re looking for people who want that REAL NFL experience! Realistic football, realistic team building, and NONE of that cheesy exploit BS them youngins be doing.

This is a hardcore, sim-style Madden Franchise where we want you to actually feel like you’re running an NFL team.

Just football, team building, shit talking, and good vibes.
If you’re looking to hop on Discord with the bros, crack open a few brewskies, become the virtual head coach of an NFL franchise, and take a Madden game WAY too seriously to the point your wife is yelling at you from the other room…

THE UNC STATUS LEAGUE IS FOR YOU. 🍻

We’re building the league from the ground up, so

TEAMS ARE OPEN NOW.
