"winning" lol!!!! On a serious note are 5 yr deals pretty much the standard for younger players IRL? I noticed that there are a lot of them.

JP thanks for posting this bro. The new bidding system looks sick this year. Franchise mode is going to awsome in a big way then it has been in past years. Can't wait to play madden12 in about 11 days from now.

If that's what the players want and there are other teams willing to give them that, then it makes sense.

Not so much for the other players that you have no competition for. Maybe there's more to it not in the video, like if you wanted to lock up a 2 year guy for longer you could re-sign (restructure) them once they're on your roster.

Liking what I see in the video.

In theory, couldn't you just bit at the last second and then win the bid, or what?

Re: EASPORTS Quick Clip Madden 12 Free Agent Bidding

i think it will be very flawed, the old system was too.

first you can't decide length of contract and second you can pretty much just outbid everyone at the end within a matter of seconds.

and I thought the computer teams were suppose to be smarter this year, signing guys for there system and not just 4 WR's or 4 CB's

From what I herd once you won the bid you should be able to adjust his contract. But I'm not totally sure right now. I will have to twitt Josh and ask him and see if he can confirm this. I will get back to you on this.

Unless the timer restarts everytime a bid is made then this will be a very flawed system. You'll just be able to poach the best guys once the timer comes down to a few seconds.

Somebody help me because I had no idea what was going on! LOL

Also, has it been explained yet, how this bidding system would work with multiple people playing a multi-user offline franchise on the same console? I figured the clock will probably stop whenever you exit the bidding screen but i think I read somewhere that once the bidding starts, you can't exit the bidding screen.

I plan on trying out League Manager this year for online franchise but me and two friends may run an offline dynasty together on this same console as well. Just curious to know.

Re: EASPORTS Quick Clip Madden 12 Free Agent Bidding

I agree...it has some flaws, but I think it'll still be better than what we had before. I guess it works the same was as HeadCoach did. First you win the bet, then you get to chose between various contract structures.

But it would make a lot more sense if the timer would reset each time a new offer has been made.

Maybe a limit on the number of offers you're allowed to make. Like 3 offers per players, or even better, 3 offers pending max at the same time, all positions.

It would force you to pass on some really good players that you don't need as much in order to secure the players you really need. This would make sense as GM in real life often focus on one player before they try to sign anyone else, and then have to settle for less talented players at a different position because the good players already have signed.

Also, I hope the CPU will be a lot more involved than what's shown in the video. The timer thing is a good addition, but it becomes overwhelming only if you have like 40+ offers to check. If there's only about 10, then there's no real sense of urgency in my opinion.
