Drew Brees retired after the 2012! season in both of the franchises I played in Madden 13, so thats not anything new. I dont see him doing that IRL. Rothlisberger and Rivers are both entering the final quarter of their careers. While neither is likely to retire that soon IRL, its not unheard of either. Ponder? Maybe it was because he sucked? Rookie contract up and no one signed him as a UFA?

Ben & Drew would not leave that much money on the table by retiring so soon

Tom Brady isnt retiring in 2016...unless he tears his other ACL lol..

Also, could someone explain 32 team control to me? Is it time consuming? Is it worth it?

32 team control is time consuming, but it is worth it. Like in KBLover's M13 CCM, stuff will happen where RG3 is given a 97 Million dollar contract to sit on the bench behind Cam Newton. So, if you have lots of time, do 32 team control. Madden is unplayable without it to me.

Thanks for the info. I think I will do it for some teams but not all.

100% Agree!

If this was Madden 11 people would be SCREAMING that the game was BROKEN if the Jets TRADED Darrelle Revis to Tampa Bay!!!!!!!!!

32 team control. Isn't that time consuming until u get to the off season. But even then you only do what u must or just fix certain teams before per season.

Been doing 32 team control ever since we could. Makes madden more immersive.... For me anyway

In M25 all the story feeds update. Like when I traded Flynn to the cards when both their QBs went down. Both teams we addressed. " jets get Flynn to help with depth" and " Pryor promoted to stater..." Etc. sorts cool.

To really comment, we'd need the whole context. This happens all the time on the forums for The Show. These video games see numbers (stats, age, salary) - not real-life name value/recognition.

Madden has definitely had crappy team management logic in the past, but we need more of a sample size (or more context to this specific league) to judge Madden 25's logic.

Yea I restarted my franchise with 32 team control. We will see how this goes. Normal just is unplayable and not fun at all. Too many rookies starting and proven pros being released
