Yeah but the overall means nothing execpt for my next reply below. Pick what you want and what players suit your play/scheme. For simiming It's the same. Don't Judge players just on there overall.

Yeah higher overall ratings demand more money for their position so you could mess them around and get them cheaper if you wanted.

This is stupid imo. A team can be interested in different type of players than others but if thats the case would they pay more wages to him? No. The less amount of teams that were interested in him would likely lower his contract value. This is where the main overall that is in madden could be added to CFM to make the players have set contracts demands based on this and then they could add other factors such as team success, location etc if more than one team made a offer but even this seems too much to add when some of the fundamentals of the features they have added and re-added don't work how they should.

The fact is it's a good idea for CPU team building but it's not been implemented right and wasn't explained well in 13 and still hasn't been.
