Any Given Sunday

Welcome to Any Given Sunday, an EA Sports Madden 15 Online Franchise League for the Xbox One.

Any Given Sunday is an online league utilizing the Connected Franchise Mode feature in Madden NFL 15. The league is a simulation "sim" league utilizing standard "sim" rules. All league games are streamed LIVE on Twitch.tv and archived utilizing Twitch's built in archiving feature.

If you are interested in joining Any Given Sunday you may post in this thread and will be added to the waiting list. However, please look over the entire league description and rules before joining to make sure we are a good fit for you and vice versa.

League Rules

The number one rule in Any Given Sunday is to have fun! We want everyone to enjoy the game and the league and to create an environment that makes people want to come back multiple times every day. While interacting with other league members and playing your games, make sure to keep that goal in mind. Is what you are doing fun for you and are you contributing to the enjoyment of the others in the league as well? If we all take that mindset into the league, we will no doubt have one of the best Madden leagues on the planet!

To make things simple and to create a general guide for our members, we have put together a basic set of Rules and Guidelines. This is not an all encompassing list, however. All users will be expected to play realistic, simulation football. If you are an online lobby player and play for your record, this is probably not the league for you. If you like to use game exploits, cheats or "cheese" plays to win, this is not the league for you. While we are willing to help new members acclimate to simulation football, we do not want to ruin other league member's enjoyment by having them play against non-sim tactics. So, please keep that in mind before signing up to play. If you have any questions, please send a PM to league commissioner majesty95.

Twitch

All games are required to be broadcast LIVE on Twitch.tv. If you do not have a Twitch account already, please go to Twitch.tv and sign up. Be sure to write down your username and password as you will need it in just a few minutes.

Once you have signed up, you should see a sidebar on the left hand side of your screen (on PC/Mac). Click the wrench icon to the right of your user name. Then click "Channel & Videos" and click the box next to "Automatically archive my broadcasts." Then save at the bottom of the page. This will allow us to pull footage from your games if we need to for league generated content as well as to resolve any disputes that may arise during the game (rules being followed, disconnections, etc.)

To ensure that games do not lag or cause other issues, only one user will be allowed to stream the game. Prior to each week during the season, league management will post a scheduling thread in the Scheduling sub forum and indicate which user has streaming responsibilities for each game.

NOTE: We will need as many users as possible with better than average connections in order to stream every game. Therefore, we must require that all members have at least a 10 Mbps internet connection and a ping of less than 60. Before being accepted into the league, all prospective owners must follow the directions indicated and post their connection test results in this thread.

Team Selection

Teams will be assigned using a selection process. Each user will post their top three team choices in order from #1-3 in this thread that when signing up. Teams will then be assigned by preference and need. We will try to get everyone their first or second choice. However, we need every team filled so if your #3 team is the Jaguars or Browns, you may get them. Be sure only to list teams that you will be happy playing as. We want everyone to get a team that they will enjoy and this process generally works better for that than a traditional draft.

Once the league is full, any new member will be given the option of choosing a team that is available. If only one team is available, then that is the team that you must use if you want to play in the league. We want everyone to enjoy the team that they have so please do not sign up if you will hate playing with that team. However, we also want owners whose #1 priority is to be part of a great league. So, if you only believe that you can enjoy the league if you have a certain team, it is probably best that you do not sign up as we cannot guarantee that..

League Activity

Each member of the league is expected to immerse themselves into the league. While we realize that not everyone will have the same amount of time to devote to the league as others, we do expect you to stay active on the forum and up-to-date on league happenings. With smartphones, tablets and PCs we find it reasonable to require each member to stop by the forums at least once per day. Obviously, the more you are active, the more you will get out of the league and the better it will be for other league members to communicate with you (scheduling, trade talks, etc.) We will also have a Group Me chat for the league as well so that will serve as alternative way for members to communicate.

NOTE: Owners can discuss scheduling on Group Me but one of the owners must post the date and time that the game will be played in the weekly scheduling thread in the Scheduling sub forum. Also, all trade approvals, transaction announcements and other pertinent league related news will need to be posted in the appropriate place on the forum. Group Me should be used as a general chat and secondary option of communication. It is much to hard to scroll through hundreds of Group Me posts to find where something was announced. So, again, all pertinent league related news/info must be posted on the forums.
