Both. Or we could just do the old system. Or no system (uncapped year, baby!)bluemax said:
In the post season, people would drop the guys they need to drop in order to stay under the cap by the time the next "advance" rolls around. Then, teams would send their bids to me for the players they want by the next advance. We wouldn't have to wait for a snake draft that takes forever and depends on everyone being around at around the same time.

Roster up yet?
I am willing to help Rors with his calculations as far as the FA pool goes. Doing it for all 32 teams is a lot for one dude and I am a mathemagician anyway.
That said, regarding the ratings, are they open to discussion? I want to argue against the spread between DEs and DTs. Even with a billion high rated DEs on my team I still generate more sacks via blitzing and disguising my coverages to confuse the opponent. In fact I can say that I've probably had less than five user sacks in all my games in Madden 11. Conversely, a Jenkins, Haynesworth, Fat Pat, etc is instrumental in this game against the run.
I don't know if anyone else agrees, but whether DTs are brought up or DEs are brought down, I believe that the spread should not be that big.
Also, what about moving CBs a point or two higher on the top end? Consider we are playing All Madden difficulty. Also consider how it is damned near impossible to pass against the Jets and the Cowboys. Laslty, looking at contracts for Champ, Nnamdi, and Revis, it is clear that the cost for services from a top tier CB is disporportionate to that of the rest of the team.
I wonder if it would be worth while to look at franchise tags/average player prices and just go with a percentage of that as our basis. With that as a baseline I can see how DEs would be so much of a hit, but if so then I believe DTs should be raised.
It's weird because in Madden LBs can be one man D's. However IRL they don't get big contracts at all.

There may be a lot of lag from updating, but nothing has been patched yet for kicking. That comes later this month or October.eznark said:
They will not grow on me. Ever. I'm debating swapping or even moving down to one of the empties.
The game was mostly good, but yeah. They made the Dolphins run game look good enough to get to the Super Bowl this year.
EDIT: Also, are we doing 7 minutes or is that just old news on the front page? I think 8mins with 20sec runoff is perfect.

Since the Jets re-signed Tony Richardson, I will be signing him from the FA list once the league is set up. FYI.

Yes sir, they are. The work isn't much. You just go down the list and add up the numbers. I'd appreciate the help, though!Wellington said:
DEs get paid more than DTs and DEs are just as instrumental in stopping runs in Madden as DTs... maybe moreso since no one runs inside. :lol I can't even fucking run against Allen or Osi because their rating somehow makes them good rush defenders as well as pass rushers. I agree that they are instrumental against the run, but in all-madden even my 79 rated DTs can stuff inside runs because the suction tackles exist. The contracts work out the same in real life for different reasons.
Harris and Haynesworth are the only ones getting DE type money and maybe Pat Williams. You only have to be 97 as a CB to cost top money (that way guys like Nnamdi would be included). They are by far the highest. If you have a 98 DE (the second highest paid position), you'd still only have to pay him 10 points.
It is already based on that, and real contracts, but there have to be changes based on what's practical in the game and based on how many there are of each position.
3-4 OLBs get big money.
Anyway, that's where the balance has to be. You have to think about the game aspect as well as the football aspect. In hindsight, I think the very top LBs should be worth a little more.
Mike Williams WR SEA Increase, from 69 to 73OVR
Mike Williams WR SEA Moved to WR #1
I quit.
Edit:
Jordan Babineaux S SEA Released
But they re-signed him! FUUUUU Tiburon. Of all the guys cut this might be the only one worth getting too upset about since he was like an 80 OVR safety.
