Getting Started
Choose the right setup or member path and understand how NeonSportz works.
What NeonSportz does
NeonSportz gives a Madden franchise league or College Football dynasty a public website, management tools, and a Discord bot. Madden data can be imported from the game. CFB teams and conferences are maintained manually; schedules and scores can be entered manually, uploaded by CSV, or read from screenshots with a review step.
This guide helps you choose the correct setup path. The linked tutorials explain every click and field.
Choose your role
I am creating a new service
You need:
- A NeonSportz Madden League or CFB Dynasty purchase.
- A Discord account.
- A Discord server where you are the owner or have Administrator permission.
- Permission to invite the NeonSportz bot.
Continue with Purchase, Activate, Renew, or Transfer.
I am joining someone else’s league or dynasty
You do not purchase a separate service. Find the league or dynasty, submit a request, and wait for a commissioner to approve you and assign your team.
Continue with Join, Leave, and Invitations.
I already belong to a service
Sign in with the same Discord account that was approved by the commissioner. Open your avatar menu to reach your profile and connected leagues or dynasties. If a service is missing, do not create another account; verify the Discord account and membership first.
Continue with Discord Login and Account Sync.
Madden and CFB are different
| Madden league | CFB dynasty |
|---|---|
| Imports teams, players, schedules, standings, and statistics from Madden. | Commissioners enter teams, conferences, schedules, and results on NeonSportz. |
| Imports through EA Connect and the guided Import Center. | Does not use an EA connection. |
| Includes detailed player, contract, transaction, draft, trade, and statistical tools. | Includes manual player statistics, Top 25 polls, playoffs, awards, history, news, calendars, recruitment, and Discord game spaces. |
Do not follow a Madden import tutorial for a CFB dynasty.
