Maybe PS5 they put compensatory picks and RFAs (unneccesarily removed) but I'm not holding my breath. MLB the Show/SDS has had compensatory picks for FAs for a few years

Why would it matter to the NFL if someone else has come close to cracking it? If they want the formula to be a secret what do you think the chances are that they would even allow EA to include anything close to it in the game?

Because it's a compensatory pick formula and not nuclear launch codes or the NFL's tax records. They wouldn't be trying to "crack the code," they'd simply be aiming to replicate it to a certain level of accuracy. Something that places like Over the Cap have already been doing for the last several years and it's not something that would be overly difficult to gamify within Madden's parameters using OVR, salary, awards, etc. to get the desired results.

If the NFL keeps the real formula secret they obviously consider it proprietary and I see no reason why they would ever allow one of their business partners to give anything away regarding it.

As an analogy I work for a company that makes plastic cups. Nothing high tech, and we have plenty of competitors. However, we do custom build most of our assembly equipment. Even though any competent engineer could probably figure out exactly how we make our products without too much trouble I don't think my bosses would appreciate me sharing that info with the public.

And it wouldn't be required for you to share any info for another company to make it's own, very similar plastic cup. The NFL could have zero input whatsoever, keep their formula a complete secret all while Madden created it's own simplified formula that more or less replicates what happens in the NFL each year.

Geez man you must be residing directly in my head otherwise I have no idea how reading most of your posts feels like they've sprung right out of my mouth.

If - as some people tend to think - there indeed is an endless amount of parallel universes somewhere out there, there must be at least one where you are the most important Madden-responsible suit in Tiburon's building.

You don't have to crack anything. Just (believably) imitate the damn thing. It does not have to be a rocket science, just another funny little immersion-adding feature.
