Pretty big and lame bug...maybe they'll get it fixed before our offseason, but we should be careful about making trades for a player with an expiring contract in the meantime. So just an example: Falcons won't get an opportunity to re-sign Mike Wallace before he gets dropped into FA in the offseason. We could say "OK nobody is allowed to bid for Mike Wallace except DVO" but then that seems like it'd just give DVO a free pass to low-ball him with any contract he wants.

I think we should let anybody bid on them.

Agreed. The franchise tag is there if he wants exclusivity.

Can you still franchise them?

FYI, I put the Bears on auto-pilot. Hopefully Zurezo-MA are able to get the game in this afternoon, but they've missed each other so far and it sounds to me like MA has been giving it his all, so if they can't make it work I'm gonna let him play the CPU rather than sim. Hopefully it doesn't come to that though.

Only other game left is Colts-Titans. I'll check with those guys to see what's up, but if I haven't heard back by 7 or 8 plan on us advancing.

Nice I can finally get my trades to go through.

Yeah you can still franchise-tag them (as far as I know), but you can only do that to one player a year right? So that still sucks that you're forced to use yours on that player because of it...or if anyone has traded for multiple players with an expiring contract (not sure if that's applicable to anyone). I'm 100% sure almost everyone in this league is gonna have a major player reject a contract proposal, so the franchise tag is REALLY valuable for that reason. Contract rejections are pretty darn common in this game. I offered every single one of my players more money than they asked for and still 5 or 6 of them rejected my offer...greedy bastards.

Me and Zurezo are playing now BTW.

i sure ing hope so lol. if not this madden bug is lame as and we should figure out a way to fix within our league ourselves.
also hemmingway wut if i got the free agents for WR that helps FAs want to sign with ur team on the last year of there contract thing for my coach would that help or would it just be a total waste

alright im about to check right now about the franchise-tag but to answer your ? DVo if you were to get the WR upgrade it would not be a waste of time because it does make free agents for that upgrade want to play for your team a little more but if other people have the same upgrade im sure it will come down to money.

Ok so here is what me and Chetty did to test this out
First, i picked the Pats and he picked the Steelers. I planned on trading him Welker and 2 nobodies for Wallace and Mendenhall. With Welker i did not try to negotiate with him at all. With Mendenhal Chetty ended his negotians with him. Wallace for whatever reason would not show up for him anywhere to resign, so he could not deny or negotiate with him.
After the trade we simulated to the resign period before free agency. He was able to negotiate/franchise tag Welker. Wallace I was able to negotiate/franchise tag. But Mendenhall who he ended negotians with, did not show up whatsoever on the resign screen so i could not franchise or resign him. So what i would try to find out is what the Steelers owner did with Wallace before he traded him.

does anyone want to play a game for fun?

Chiefs get: QB Brandon Weeden - 76 OVR (from Broncos) WR Greg Orton - 63 OVR (from Broncos) Jets get: QB Ricky Stanzi - 67 OVR (from Chiefs) 4th round pick (from Broncos) Broncos get: WR Dexter McCluster - 72 OVR (from Chiefs) QB Mark Sanchez - 80 OVR (from Jets)

This Trade is APPROVED.

i feel like this whole online career shit is too much compared to last years online franchise. they just added so much so fast and made it so complex. you think theyd gradually make it a better instead of throwing it all together like it seems they did

+1.

I'd rather they add too much and put the extra time in figuring it out then for them to keep lowballing it and not doing enough.

So, basically...if an owner pissed off a player to the point where he decides he wants to test free agency, the player keeps that stance with his new team as well, lol. That's a horrible bug, but kind of funny. "Yeah... you...AND my new coach!"
