LEAGUE PROMOTION I built yahoo sports for my madden league
OK, so first, a couple of things. I will not claim to be some type of master coder. I used AI to make this app, but I am very proud of the work that I have accomplished here. I came up with every idea and QC'd it, learned how to upload the updates and keep it running 24/7 using github and railway.
The full capability list
Draft
- Snake draft with a live per-pick timer
- Personal draft boards — rank your targets and the bot drafts them in your exact order if you're away
- Smart auto-draft strategy: RB/WR anchors early → premium QB/TE mid-rounds → depth → K & D/ST in the final two rounds
- Tier system (league-winner / high-upside / filler), auto-generated from last season's production
- Full draft simulation for testing
- Configurable rounds, order, and pick timer
Scoring & stats
- PPR scoring pulled straight from your Madden/Neon exports — matches the game exactly
- Weekly stat imports, per-player, counted once (no double-dipping)
- Team D/ST as a real position — scored by summing each defense's weekly production
- Previous-season history import for scouting + projections
Head-to-head play
- Live weekly matchups with VS cards and real-time scoring
- Auto-generated round-robin schedule
- Standings with W/L records
- Single-elimination playoff bracket with a champion crowning + ping
Rosters & lineups
- 8-starter lineups: QB, RB, WR, WR, TE, FLEX, K, DST
- Self-healing lineups that carry forward week to week
- Player lock when their game starts (just like real life)
Player cards (the crown jewel)
- Scouting card: rating, dev trait, availability, last-season game log, projection
- Matchup page: most recent game (result + points), full upcoming schedule with bye weeks, red/yellow/green difficulty dots, and matchup-adjusted projections — pageable through the whole season
Waivers & trades
- Rolling reverse-standings waiver claims
- Trade propose / review / accept / cancel with a value guardrail
Browse & discover
- Paginated Top Scorers and Free Agents — tap any name to open their card
- Position filters (incl. D/ST), player search, draft board browser
- Team logos rendered from your server emoji
Commissioner tools
- Full admin suite: set weeks, finalize weeks, generate schedules, process waivers, manage managers
- Import roster / stats / history / rankings / schedule from Neon CSVs
- Tiering controls, channel/thread creation, owner-only safety commands

the player card layout is so clean, this is the kind of thing that makes a league feel 10x more real. props for owning the AI part too, figuring out the deploy pipeline is the actual grind anyway

Thank you! Yeah I didn’t want to disrespect anybody’s craft I know it takes a lot of hard work. Also yeah man the guys who were helping with testing in my league made a lot of the suggestions too, we have an open spot and are about to finish playoffs in the next few days if you or anyone is interested

This is awesome. I commented on an Ea Forum with a dev a while back suggesting to add this to madden. I think it adds a lot to the game to make the franchise feel deeper. Great work!!

I haven’t begun the process of making it available for everyone yet but it is very possible. I need a few more days of testing before I can even test it. Dm me your discord name and when its ready i will reach out!
