How do I add or take away a team's XP?

Open the XP Hub's Overview tab and use the Give Or Take XP card: type an amount, type a reason, pick the team, and press Give Or Take The XP. A positive number gives XP, a minus sign takes it away.

Where to find it

On the website: press XP in the sidebar. The Overview tab is the first one, and Give Or Take XP is on it.

On your phone: tap More → XP, then pick Overview from the Choose a section dropdown.

What this card is for

Hand-corrections. A payout that did not fire, a bonus you promised in chat, a fine for missing an advance, anything where you need to move a team's balance yourself.

There is one form for any number of teams: pick one team for a single correction, or several to pay a group at once. The old separate pages for "adjust one team" and "mass grants" are gone; this card is both.

Step by step

  1. Under How Much XP Each, type the amount. Put a minus in front of it to take XP away.
  2. Under What It Is For, type a reason. It is required, because members see it on their receipt.
  3. Under Which Teams, search for the team and tick it. Tick more than one to pay a group.
  4. Press Give Or Take The XP.

In Discord, /xp add does the same crediting job with a team selector, and /xp adjust changes one team's balance quietly.

Every change is on the record

The reason you type is what everyone reads on the receipt. "Week 5 GOTW bonus" tells a story; a vague reason invites questions.

The What Moved Recently card further down the same tab shows the newest XP changes in your league, with the reason against each one; check there first when a member says their XP is wrong.

Taking a team below zero is allowed

If you take more XP off a team than it holds, the balance goes negative and stays negative. That is deliberate: a commissioner fining a team into debt is a decision the product lets you make, and it is not a bug.

Know what it means before you do it: while a team is below zero, everything that spends XP is refused (bets, claims, upgrades, buying spins, donating) until the balance is back above zero. The team has to earn its way out.

Common problems

  • The amounts are not doubled during a double-XP event. Correct. Amounts you type in by hand are paid exactly as typed; the multiplier only scales XP the bot pays out on its own.
  • No teams appear under Which Teams. Teams appear once your league is connected. The card says so. Connect your Madden league first, on Overview under EA Connection.
  • The whole XP Hub is missing. The XP feature is switched off; it is the XP switch in the Features Hub, and the Hub disappears entirely while it is off.
