Taking a break from the ratings and trailer complaints i was wondering about player contracts. Madden's current contracts are very basic. Click the a button for what a player wants and he is signed. There is no haggling, requirements, or real bonus.
This is my example of Matt Stafford's reported deal
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/draft0...ory?id=4097641
"According to a source, Stafford will receive a six-year, $72 million deal with $41.7 million guaranteed. The contract could be worth as much as $78 million if Stafford achieves all of his playing incentives."
To make the contract reach the $78 million figure Stafford must play 35% of the snaps as a rookie and 45% of the snaps in the following years. Also every ProBowl he reaches is a bonus too.
I would love to have more complex contracts. Players need to start asking for guaranteed money. And as the gm we should be allowed to put incentives in a contract.
