Madden NFL 10 Online Franchise Discussion

I'm going out on a limb and saying that your issue was because Madden 03 had a broken salary cap. You can always release an expensive player so that you can sign cheaper guys. If you're over the cap by $1 MM, and you need to sign a player, you will have to cut someone making $3 million, then sign a couple cheaper (and worse) players to fill the hole.

That's what franchise is all about.

Yes you're right, but as I was saying, I didn't have enough money to sign any of the free agents on the game. I don't see how that's broken. It seems to me that, if you're not paying attention, it could happen to anyone at anytime. Like I said, I haven't done that in years so I don't know what happens now, if you're in the same situation as I was. Will they still let you release a player regardless of whether you will have money to sign one of the free agents? If so then, this situation could come up again for other people at anytime.

If you click the "Operation Sports E3 Coverage" banner at the top of the page, the rumor is first spelt out in Chase's post regarding impressions of Madden 10. He's still attempting to track down a more definitive answer to this question, however.

It'd be kinda disappointing to me if the salary cap didn't exist in online franchise, but unless it's been tuned for Madden 10 the salary cap always increased by way too much each year anyway and essentially became a nonfactor after a few season by my experience.

Fantasy draft defeats the purpose of franchise.

Thank you. BTW - The bold part is what I've been trying to say. It hasn't been a factor before now, so it not being there shouldn't matter. Also, most likely, there is no salary cap in online franchise. No need to speculate anymore. This is the same situation that happened with cpu sliders last year. Someone at E3 said they couldn't find any cpu sliders and the speculation began as to whether cpu sliders are in or not. Sure enough, sliders weren't in. This seems like the same situation.
