Twitter. One of the developers is pretty good about always responding to my questions and comments.

It is interesting that originally he stated that they investigated the matter and found no problems.

After myself and a few others made a few comments he then acknowledged that there may be a problem but he implied that it is one that is too big for a patch. Nothing against the guy because I am thankful for his involvement but I am not buying it. I think they just overlooked it and are covering their rear.

I asked for some possible suggestions so that we the users may alleviate the problem, e.g. does QB acc slider affect behavior, traits, etc but he avoided answering that.

If they weren't now they are definitely aware of the issue now and how unhappy we are about it. But clint is a good guy and I try not to bash him or anything.

Unfortunately, I think that is a design choice. I read somewhere that they felt Owner Mode was not tough enough, and so wanted to make it more difficult, especially for poor/small market teams. Whether this is difficult in a realistic fashion is debatable, but, they definitely met the goal of making it more difficult.

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.

Post patch I'm averaging 2 to 3 sacks a game and I use the 49ers!! So it's hard for me to believe that people are getting even more sacks after the patch.....
