Rule 1

4th Down, Punting & Kicking
If the ball is scrimaged on your 49 (or closer to your end), you must punt on 4th down. Only exceptions:
a) You are behind three scores at anytime during the game
b) You are behind in the 4th quarter

On the extra point or field goal inside the 20 Rule you cannot manually control or manipulate any players.

Squib kicks are only allowed in the last minute of the 2nd and 4th quarter.

Surprise onside kicks are allowed but only one every few games.

'Tactic-ing' every third game (or more) is strongly prohibited.

An
onside kick where you punch it 11 yards slightly to the kicking foot
side and up the middle is prohibited and a known glitch (i.e. the onside
kick were you aim as far as you can opposite side to the surpise onside
kick direction and pooch the ball 11 yards ahead straight ahead of the
kicker).
</li>

Rule 2

Glitches and Illegal Blitzes
The
use of glitches and illegal blitzes is illegal and any violators will
be prosecuted. Any manipulation to gain an illegal advantage over a CPU
is considered a glitch. Examples of such things are nano blitzes, spy
glitch, inside out return (IOR), motion glitch, stacking your MLB to
purposely confuse the OL..etc. These kind of plays will be updated on an
ongoing basis (new glitches and nanos present themselves all the time)
and we will try to provide specific written discription of each and
where possible video footage of the play.

You can only manually
(joystick) move one player that rushes the QB. You can shift as many
pass rushers as you want using the 'shift' system with L1 or R1. A
player that manually moves more than one player that pass rush the QB
could be trying to confuse the CPU so this practice has been outlawed.
</li>

Rule 3

Quarterback
The
QB is prohibited from doing unrealistically long drop back and sprint
outs on pass plays that are designed to be thrown from a standard
pocket. A QB cannot drop back farther than 12 yards from the line of
scrimmage. The QB cannot move laterally (as a preplanned sprint out)
more than 5 yards outside of the pocket in pass plays which are designed
to be thrown from a standard pocket.
</li>

Rule 4

Pass Rush
You must pass rush a minimum of two players every play,
this means no "gay" defense. You are prohibited from moving a defensive
linemen off the line of scrimmage to a traditional LB starting position
before the snap. If you want to play with less DL and more LBs or DBs
than call a defense that has such a strategy implemented.
</li>

Rule 5

Player Positions
Players
played out of position must be reasonable and SIM like. The most
obvious example is that you cannot play offensive players on defense and
vice versa. Unless in an emergency situation where injuries and
fatigues demands this switch from a depth chart perspective.
The acceptable changes of positions are as follows:

Rule 6

Repetitive Play Calling
Mix
up your plays. We all have our go-to plays (AKA Money plays) but dont
over use any one play. The exception being basic fundamental plays that
are 'main stays' of all offenses (i.e. Dives, off tackle, sweeps, blitz
counter passes..etc.) If a defense dictates that a blitz counter pass be
used because the defense continues to blitz, the offense is not responsible to mix it up as his play call is actually dictated by what the defense calls.
