Of course, it all stems from the lack of any contract changes even as real-life deals get bigger and more complex.

Given that my entire goal with the game is to partially tear down the Dolphins and rebuild them, I see that as an awesome bonus, not a negative. Madden has had far too few great players reach free agency for years now.

They hit FA because the Chargers and Vikings are pinned really close to the cap, and the AI won't take on huge cap penalties if they can avoid it.



The fix isn't exactly simple. Allow AI to take more cap penalties will result in the AI inevitably having zero cap space because of said penalties.

Wow what a disaster, What is wrong with EA that they can not learn from games like NBA2K and MLB the show and fix things for franchise?

And based on the crashing people are talking about I guess I need to run my franchise as an online. But I will wait to see if they can patch free agent issues

I love it IRL when teams mismanage the cap and have to blow it up. I was FURIOUS that the league allowed several of them to get away with funny business to get around that because of Covid. Made me want to pull my hair out.

True but lets be honest if Burrow or Herbert in their prime needed to be signed they would cut half the roster if need be. They would never hit FA that early

Franchise this year is incredibly unpolished.

I've seen:

• Countless UI bugs
  
• Draft board issues
  
• Missing logos for relocation teams
  
• Relocation teams being in the wrong locker room during cutscenes
  
• Players having the wrong jersey name during cutscenes
  
• Generated draft prospects with censored names

It’s also worth noting that 2021 defensive sacks are not recorded for any player whether it be offline or online. Huge immersion killer. As per usual, madden is unplayable at release if you want realism.

Seems like the corruption glitch from last few maddens in franchise is back. ut 100% has something to do with any custom class thats imported into the game.
