The CPU is a little too dynamic in CFM and the smartness just isnt there. Some people you just dont release or trade no matter what.

Don't you know it's too early to complain about madden. You have to wait some time. You know madden can do no wrong in the first couple of weeks.

How many of these players contracts were up and they just didn't want to resign with the team ?

Supposedly if the team isn't doing well some players are more difficult this year.That being said,it's likely another trademark EA flub.

some guys just make big deals about nothing. Its the same in NBA 2k , Fifa , MLB Show etc.... If there were never anyone good being released franchise mode would become boring and then you would complain that no good FA gets released...lol.

pick a side.

NO, the correct move is releasing WR, Miles Austin, IF a WR had to be released.
Bryant has another 2 years on his deal.

Smh - Even Jerry Jones would not have made this move. lol

This is just like in my 5th season of Madden '13, the WSH let RGIII (rated 90 ovr) walk via Free Agency. Now WSH has a huge hole at QB.
Sorry, this does not happen with a young QB just because you could not hammer out a new deal. It's called the Franchise Tag.

The Franchise Tag should be placed on a player if USER or CPU wants too, right before we click into the start of FA.
That's why the whole stopping negotiating by either side is bs. Needs to be fixed

Ok I looked. Seems like Dez was the only one whose contract was expiring.

AP and Calvin Im not understanding.

Funny.... With 32 team control I don't see ANY of that. I also disabled relocating.

When I first downloaded the game, I simmed 3 seasons. 4 teams relocated in that sim. Year 1.... Rams/ Oakland moved.... Year 2.... Bills moved. Year 3... The jags moved....

I deleted that test sim and promptly disabled ALL teams from relocating.

WAY WAY overdone.

I also turned off relocation. Way too over done. When you control all 32 teams, how do you handle their rosters. Do it all yourself or set to CPU. (Do they still make dumb moves if this is the case).
