Madden Leagues
Weekly Commissioner Routine
A before-advance, after-advance, weekly, and offseason checklist.
Before the advance
- Confirm all completed games have synced to EA.
- Import the current week’s statistics.
- Verify scores, simulated status, and player/team box scores.
- Resolve Game of the Week and pick’em activity as your league requires.
- Update or close Discord game channels/threads for completed matchups.
- Export rosters if late transactions, injuries, ratings, or depth charts changed.
Immediately after advancing
- Export or direct-import League Info.
- Confirm the league header shows the new stage and week.
- Import Schedules.
- Open Games → Schedule and verify the new matchups.
- Set or update the next Advance Time under Administration → Settings.
- Confirm any automatic advance notification reached Discord.
Prepare the new week
- Review member-to-team assignments.
- Select or verify Game of the Week.
- Unlock or lock pick’em under Administration → Game Settings as desired.
- Create Discord game channels or threads for the new week.
- Confirm private spaces include both assigned members.
- Post or verify the schedule notification.
During the week
- Import stats after games sync.
- Import affected rosters after transactions or player changes.
- Review transaction and injury notifications.
- Check development-limit alerts if limits are configured.
- Review pending trades and join requests.
- Update news, rankings, awards, and recruitment information as needed.
After each import
Verify one source page and one downstream page. Examples:
- Roster import: Team Roster and Transactions.
- Schedule import: Games and a team Schedule.
- Stats import: Game box score and a season Stats page.
- League Info: header week and standings context.
Offseason routine
The league home can show an offseason dashboard based on current stage and imported data. During offseason:
- Continue importing League Info after stage changes.
- Import rosters after re-signing, free agency, trades, and the draft.
- Import draft/roster data after selections exist.
- Review upcoming free agents, cap information, and contract pages.
- Set Trade Reset Timing correctly for the next season.
- Do not perform a full league reset unless moving to a different franchise.
End-of-season review
Before the franchise rolls forward:
- Confirm final standings and playoff results.
- Confirm yearly and MVP awards.
- Export CSV data if you need an external archive.
- Verify records and draft context.
- Record any commissioner-created news or custom awards you want to preserve.
Fast recovery checklist
When something looks wrong:
- Stop starting new imports.
- Confirm service, season, stage, and week.
- Identify the owning data set.
- Check Import Status.
- Re-import only that data.
- Verify before escalating to All Stats or a reset.
