I just started playing again after a few months hiatus from Madden, hoping the time for patches and the distance would make this game fun for me again.

I can appreciate that the contracts are more difficult to squeeze under the cap, but it seems impossible. I let some veterans walk, signed some guys during free agency on the cheap (that I shouldn't have been able to sign for that price) and still had to tweak some of the existing contracts to make it work.

It's so bad that in the CFM I'm in that even the CPU teams are struggling. After 5 weeks of free agency, the top 5 free agents, which included guys in their mid 20s in the 80s and 90s in OVR, were unsigned. None of them even had offers.

It feels like the cap number never changes from year to year. Makes me wish this game was more like NBA 2k,where the user can actually edit things like the overall cap, inflation rate, contract inflation/demand sliders, etc. because apparently EA can't give us a workable game themselves.

When the CPU drafts, it tends to ignore the QB position until round 3 or so, which is just bizarre.

Am I going crazy here? Just a bad data set in the one CFM I'm playing right now?
