FranchiseHuddle only ever reads your franchise. It can’t edit rosters, change scores, make trades or advance — the game is always the source of truth.
This is the most important promise FranchiseHuddle makes about your franchise: the connection is read-only. FranchiseHuddle reads your EA franchise to mirror it on the site and in Discord. It never writes anything back.
What read-only guarantees
- FranchiseHuddle cannot edit a roster in your franchise.
- It cannot change a score or a result.
- It cannot make trades, cuts or signings in the game.
- It cannot advance your franchise or touch its settings.
Everything you see on FranchiseHuddle is a reflection of what already happened in your franchise. The source of truth is always the game itself.
Why that matters for commissioner tools
Because the sync is read-only, some commissioner tools work by adjusting FranchiseHuddle’s own records rather than the game:
- Result overrides change FranchiseHuddle’s standings and records, never the imported EA score — the real result stays visible underneath the ruling.
- The integrity watchdog flags a suspicious roster edit; it cannot reverse it. The commissioner makes the call.
- Discipline tracks suspensions and warnings; it can’t hand out an in-game penalty.
The watching and alerting is automatic; any actual enforcement is a human decision. FranchiseHuddle never pretends to do something to your franchise that a read-only connection can’t do.
Read-only is a feature, not a limitation. It means FranchiseHuddle can never break your franchise, and every result on the site is honest — it’s the real game, mirrored.
Is my data safe?
Your EA credentials are never handled by FranchiseHuddle — you sign in on EA’s own page, and FranchiseHuddle only receives the tokens needed to read your franchise. See Is my data safe? in Troubleshooting & FAQ for more.
