Madden 12 should include rookie salary cap

[prime21time37]

im fine with it not being in this year as long as its not one of the BIG features for madden 13

I don't believe Putting a limitation on rookie salaries would take that long. You guys act like i want every rule, but the only one I am asking for is the rookie salary cap. It shouldn't require more than two weeks or so if they worked hard at it. That would have given them plenty of time had they gotten to work immediately and worked collectively.

Lets be realistic here. If its one thing EA has a legitimate excuse for not including this year, it would be things associated with the CBA. They already have enough on their plate that gets "unfinished" and pushed to next year as is. This just gets tacked on to that ever expanding list

Dude, the game is completed about a month prior to release, if I recall correctly. This was the final week for the developers to put the final touches.

Anything as drastic as the new CBA would have taken weeks that the developers don't have to implement.

Trying to hastily throw it in will probably completely demolish all the fine-tuning the team did for the new improved franchise mode. Think about it, with a new CBA, that means you need to work on the franchise AI because they've developed that on the basis of the old CBA. The old AI would not manage their teams properly if set up on the basis of the old CBA but in the context of the new CBA.

Great point. I never thought of it that way.

Obviously.

The new CBA should be priority 1 for 2013. If the NFL could have worked this out earlier then maybe it would be in, but this is like a team announcing a uniform change one week before gold. No time.
