    Of course, since neither the actual salary numbers or the bonus rules (not counting against the CAP) match real life, it is sort of useless to complain the revenue sharing does not match it either. It is true, that not all small market teams are able to fund to the full salary cap limit (hence why there is also a salary floor), so in a sense Madden 15 simulates that, by forcing small market teams to use smaller bonuses and more "CAP Money," which fills their CAP faster (since all Madden teams seam to get their full CAP to play with).

    A more realistic system would be desirable, but the current compromise sort of works if it was tweaked a little. Anyway, like I said, it is not a bug so much as an unfortunate design decision . . .
    Is that actually true though? A real team's share of league revenue is enough to cover the salary cap, which is actually why the league can mandate a minimum on team spending (a salary floor.). The difference between big and small market teams comes down to not only the costs of doing business (maintnence, inventory, team/stadium staff, facilities leases, etc noe of which is in game) which in addition to owners' greed and appeal of their particular market affects what they can offer in bonus money and what they can afford to upgrade.

    The way the game is structured, a bump in revenue share (maybe just to $2-4 million still far short of the real figure) would be enough to better reflect the real life salary situation. All the better if facility upgrades were made a little more expensive to compensate for this.

      When I opened Madden to play, it prompted me to download an update. I thought cool, but it took a while due to the size.

            Hopefully EA releases another patch that fixes CFM finances in owner mode.. as I just ran a Chiefs season & only had 15.5 million in funds enough to resign Houston & Sherman but none else including not being able to sign free agents or draft picks to fill needs..& improve my team cuz I have no money

            This isn't right & it should be based on cap space not owner funds I want to play owner mode but not in its current state really hope EA fixes this soon go chiefs!!!

              Was the Camera toggle issue addressed in Online CFM mode?

                I hate to even say anything about it, but has anyone actually played post patch.

                Im running into a pretty heavy duty of awesome, i think the game play changed. Will be interested in the A&s thread.

                I think, and am prety sure hey added some graphic stuff to the xb1 which is why it was a bigger patch. Im wondering if its stuff the ps4 already had intalled.

                For instance the helmets have a way different reflection to them on the field and befor the 4th.

                  I hope that I only get 2-3 sacks a game but form the sound of things sacks didn't get fixed with this patch.

                      Only one game but I agree with you so far. Although I had 5 sacks with the Bengals I won 20-13. Flacco for the Ravens (CPU) was 27-39 and I saw several innacurate throws.

                      This was at all-pro default so so far so good

                        Prior to the patch. I had to do workarounds like most gamers to try and fix the flaws in gameplay. What worked for me was editing every qb to throw the ball away and be paranoid in the pocket. Then setting cpu pass blocking to 99 and wr catching to 99. Qb ACC set to 1. Intentional grounding set to 1. So much testing done and it seemed to work for me. Had defensive coverage set to default levels.

                        I haven't uploaded the patch yet. I am scared to now reading these patch reviews.

                          I haven't noticed any difference in gameplay post patch.

                            They definitely fixed the 49ers pants and they definitely fixed the Patriots home jerseys. I am pretty glad about that.

                            I wished they would have fixed the 49ers helmets, too, though, because it looks a little off now (the helmets also needed to be moved a bit toward the yellow side). Fortunately, using the 80s 49er helmets pretty much fixes the clash, since it still has the current logo (please don't fix that EA! If you do then please adjust the hue on the default helmet).

                              So far I've played two full cfm games with my sliders still intact prior to the patch....game one buffalo(me) vs Chicago....I did get 6 sacks but man something feels different, three times Cutler did a one step drop and lasered a slant pass that was very cool I don't remember seeing the AI do that so quickly in 100+ games since release, cutler finished at 68% Manuel at 54% lost 17-10 15 min qrters, running feels different, tackling looks and feels different, and in good ways, spiller was 24 for 112, Jackson 10 for 54, Forte only ran 15 times for 67, cutler threw for 315 2tds 41 attempts, at least three were fired downfield 30+ yds, one was completed, very fun game, game two buffalo (me) vs Miami, tannehill 59% Manuel 52% Miami fumbled 6 times, never seen that many before two by miller, one by Thomas, one by tannehill, and two by two different receivers, I only recovered three of them, had five sacks that game, again this gameplay the feel of it is different in a very good way....going to be playing some more but so far I'm liking the changes, I LOVE the slim playcall screen, and the extra five seconds for defense is much appreciated. I like that the little highlights before the halftime show are gone, it shows the jumbotron saying halftime as Larry talks into the highlights...goes to the stat page and then shows highlights, the other way was rather repetitive, the dolphins kicker was 0-3 in the game, my slider set has kick accuracy at 9 and before today the computer never missed even set that low, have to raise it now I suppose, like I said tackling seems different, even my receivers catching seems better, fluid, oh also Chicago went for it twice on 4th down around the 45 and 48 yard line, first time it happened with the score 0-0 in the first, I liked that, just a few of my early impressions so far
                              Only the truest Buffalonians know what it is to stick with your hometown teams. Eventually we will be rewarded with a Super Bowl or Stanley Cup Championship. The ONE thing I want to see most before i leave this world. What a day that would be.

                                Forgot to add I won that game 30-10, miller ran for about 86 on 17 carries but down late they stopped running, the fumbles have me good field position, going to try some games in my fantasy cfm that I've been playing waiting to start my real buffalo cfm before the patch finally dropped, curious to see if the AI can finally beat me, through three seasons I've one almost every game pretty easily mostly bc of the AI taking way too many sacks, if it wasn't for that issue I'd be loving this years madden but it's always something isn't it? One more note my screen plays always seemed to work consistently, but post patch I tried three in each game and they covered them very quickly, longest gain was 8....that seems promising as well but only two game test so we will see
