well i'm releasing unsigned guys into FA now. i'm not opening FA bidding yet, need to figure out what we're doing about these trades first!

You're gonna have to reassign some of the contracts. Like Rothlisberger needs to be at the traded cap value, not the FA value (which is markedly less).

In the future people should people not release dudes on LM and instead should just dump them in game and synch rosters?

When dudes go into the FA pool their contracts get all fucked up (and they get cheaper) and it ends up undermining the salary cap completely.

That information is in the player's profile right now. So people SHOULD not resign guys from FA. But rather Admins (FMT might be the only one who can) need to assign players who were traded and are FAs to the right team and set the right year on the contract and delete the old years
 
Isn't that what FA is though? If the guy really is a star his price will be bid up to a fairer price than what LM decided to generate. You're risking losing your guy, I don't see the problem. If you aren't talking about stars it's moot because that's what they're worth in the FA pool, you can just grab an identical guy for cheaper because he happened to not be cut by a team. You'd have to up the price on all identical FAs w/e you up one guy for something like this to make sense to me.

Which is why i used to carry 4-5 ROLB and a crappy LOLB. The game doesn't allow you to re-assign positions :/

But we're talkin bout trades with guys who already had a set cap #

God dammit DCX's shenanigans screwed me out of a cornerback. Once again I ask, is anyone willing to trade a 90+ cornerback? I will make it worth your while.

Did they shut down your trade, or did he just not have the cap room?

After the trade were voided and my first taken away i had to alter my Brandon Flowers trade and included Grimes.

He wanted Grimes. I guess Somnia could flip Grimes if he wanted to.

Can we get a list of which of these players in the free agency pool are marked for trades already and which are unrestricted? I'd like to know what's available in free agency before making draft plans.

LaMarr Woodly, Brandon Flowers, Curtis Brown

Sean Weatherspoon for Pitt

Brent Grimes for KC

I have no idea how appropriation of teams works out when a new Madden rolls around or if another guy is going to come out of the woodwork to reclaim his team, but after today's heist I would love to continue playing as the hapless Rams in Madden 13. Just throwing that out there.

The Play-In tournament for the Rams, i.e. LiveWire's draft picks in Madden 13 is going to be legendary
