Trade Rules and Regulations.

Player Transactions

All player transactions must be done on XFN, not in game.
All trades will be subject to League approval. Owners will be required to keep their teams competitive.
There will be no gutting of a teams talent pool. Because usually the owner that tries to rebuild for the future is the owner that leaves the League and his former team in a wreck. Then it's virtually impossible to find a replacement owner. It is in the best interest of the League for us to prevent this type of thing from happening. Owners will also have to abide by the following rules.

*5 trade limit for a season (including the off season that follows) - no Trade deadline.
In one season (and off season that follows) a team may only trade away a total of 8 players.

Player's and Draft Picks cannot be traded twice in the same season, this includes the following off season. Owners are not allowed to receive a pick or a player via trade and then trade him again in the same season.

*Injured players are not allowed to be traded in any situation.

For Madden 12 we will have a 5 man trade approval committee.


All owners will be required to provide the following information when they post their completed trades.

Player Position,
Player Age,
Player Potential,
Player Overall,
Player Salary

For all the players involved.

There's also a good chance that these rules may not even exist next season. As by that time we will know who is in for the long haul with their team and who isn't.

* A player can only play 1 game per week. If you make a trade for a player that has already played then you must wait until you have played your game for that week before you can complete trade on XFN.
