Yeah, but teams do get around that in the form of very likely to be earned performance bonuses and other tricks. I'm not looking for a Madden contract system as complex as the real world of contract negotiations, but it would be nice to be able to "move" future money into the current season's spare cap room.

Fair enough. QBs with 500,000 bonuses for every kick return for a touchdown kind of thing:P

Im glad the cap will be back, but is the insane contract demands gone? Guards and centers who have never started a game in their career demanding Pro Bowl Left tackle kind of money, Same with Cornerbacks... and the apparent ability of the CPU to sign players way below what the same players demand of the human team. These we not just 2011 issues, they have been around for years... it made playing with the cap on in 2010 a nightmare. Contract demands should be more based on past performance then on the player ratings.

What if they just really didn't want to sign with that team? For whatever reason

In past versions I seem to recall that players had the ability to refuse to negotiate.

great can`t wait!..
I hope this is the first madden where i have to keep salaries in check. Never had a problem in any madden to sign whatever player i wanted.

Hope this ends on madden 2012

any house rule to use to counter the bad Madden 2011 salary cap issues?

I thought about duplicating their asked salary, but still not enough. I´m open for new ideas.
