CODE OF CONDUCT
All members of PX1 Sports leagues are expected to conduct themselves as mature adults. PX1 should be a place to meet new friends and have fun. Users are expected to play realistic simulation football and treat other members with integrity and respect. We expect all members to be open to feedback and improving their sim game.
Members who are caught cheating, team killing, who display a win at all costs attitude, use excessive profanity, use racial slurs or remarks, berate or verbally abuse other members or otherwise display a negative or aggressive attitude towards members or site staff will be removed from the league and face a permanent ban from the site.
All members should keep in mind that being competitive and having fun can go hand-in-hand. We do not want to be babysitters but we also do not want to create a negative environment for our members. Treat others as you would hope they would treat you and everyone’s experiencewill benefit because of it.
The code of conduct extends to the forum, Slack, Twitch chat, and any other league related communications.

Then enter the system the game was played on, your opponent’s forum username, the game played (Madden), game result (you won, lost or the game disconnected), your score, your opponent’s score and your rating of your opponent’s simulation gameplay principles.
Rating Guidelines
Game exploits are defined as any play, movement or tactic used to exploit the game’s programming or AI, whether intended or unintentional. This includes but is not limited to money plays, abuse of certain pass routes, manually moving player’s to create blocking glitches, abusing penalty logic, making unnatural movements with your players, excessive scrambling, etc.
Here are the guidelines members should use when rating their opponent’s gameplay:
Generally speaking, 5-star ratings and the occasional 4 here and there are expected. An owner who is consistently receiving 4-star ratings or who has received a 3-star rating will be contacted by league admin and may be placed on probation while they work on their sim game. Continual ratings of less than 5-stars while on probation may lead to a suspension and/or a removal from the league.

Game exploits are defined as any play, movement or tactic used to exploit the game’s programming or AI, whether intended or unintentional. This includes but is not limited to money plays, abuse of certain pass routes, manually moving player’s to create blocking glitches, abusing penalty logic, making unnatural movements with your players, excessive scrambling, etc.
Here are the guidelines members should use when rating their opponent’s gameplay:
- 5 stars – Opponent played great sim football and adhered to all rules and guidelines. One or two minor infractions could be allowed. You generally have no complaints or they are very minor.
- 4 stars – Opponent played mostly a sim football game. Minor infractions may have been made. Possibly one known cheat or exploit used, most likely unintentionally. The game was pretty good overall but you were a little frustrated by a couple of things that your opponent did.
- 3 stars – Opponent played sim football principles but made some minor infractions and used some game exploits. A three-star rating generally indicates a player who wants to play sim but may have some bad habits or may be unknowingly using game exploits. This player needs help to clean up their game to continue playing at a league level.
- 2 stars – Opponent made some attempt to play sim football but was heavily reliant on game exploits and broke several rules or guidelines. This opponent really does not grasp the idea of sim football that we expect.
- 1 star – Opponent does not have an understanding of sim principles. Mostly game exploits were used and many rules or guidelines were broken. This is a typical lobby player who exploits AI issues over and over.
Generally speaking, 5-star ratings and the occasional 4 here and there are expected. An owner who is consistently receiving 4-star ratings or who has received a 3-star rating will be contacted by league admin and may be placed on probation while they work on their sim game. Continual ratings of less than 5-stars while on probation may lead to a suspension and/or a removal from the league.
