Offline Franchise - AI teams over the cap

[Ueauvan]

Please tell me if im wrong but every team every week of the season must be zero or positive on cap as far as i know. Breaching this incurs loss of picks i think. Yet despite this i see a number of AI teams with large negative cap numbers, teams ive never traded with to cause cap penalties by the way. On the flip side the problem with teams with massive positive numbers (always the Bears it seems) never spend it and this still hasnt been fixed. I can understand if you were resigning a QB but their is no mechanism to front load. At minimum if a QB who has 1 year left of the rookie deal (not first round pick) is to be resigned to say with a 5 year 150M extension I would expect logic that converts to a 6 year deal pulling forward both salary and guaranteed money so they go from say 4m in current year to say 30M plus. i cant see any agent/player disagreeing with that. This can be done by editing a player after a deal and decreasing total salary by 0.01M where the total deal is 7 years or less.

I can only assume that it doesn’t work as intended, considering it’s EA.

I know that’s not the help/ answer you were looking for but it sounds like classic EA.

Teams aren't supposed to be over the cap but teams are over at times. It's usually a fine I believe for the team. Extreme cases can lead to loss of picks but I don't remember that ever happening. There are usually a few teams every year that go over the cap at some point.

NFL teams can't be over the cap during the season. It's a hard cap.

Yeah but NCAA 14 has it's own issues:

Poor clock management by CPU, CPU tries ridiculously long FG's on highest difficulty level, robo-QB, LB's who can jump 10 feet in the air, DB's with eyes in the back of their heads, custom playbook glitches, etc.

OH WAIT we still have all those problems in Madden ten years later nevermidn

Lol no doubt. I can’t believe it’s 2023 and Madden isn’t a mind blowing game. It actually kind of hurts.

It's a bit of a process but taking over some of the teams in the offseason and clearing bad contracts has made a massive improvement in my franchise. I actually looked last night and the least amount of cap room is 30m. So probably a bit of an over correction but I'm about to begin season 7 on madden 23 and have managed to avoid any game breaking bugs or crazy free agent problems.
