Had to switch back to coach and that's where I'll stay until it comes time to build a stadium next year (which EA didn't bother to include ala the Niners stadium in M25). I'll switch to owner, build the stadium, then switch back to coach again for as long as I can stand to keep playing. Sad to say, this Madden is losing its luster fairly rapidly, just as all the other EA football offerings beforehand. I am just so tired of inventing work arounds for all of EAs perpetual shortcomings.

That's so crazy I'm in my 2nd season of my owner mode and I have $29.2 million in funds so many players with that problem but not me

What team are you playing as? Good teams like the Steelers or colts make money no problem. The owner mode falls short when you pick a bad team. I have cfm going with the Washington team and the raiders. Both started with 7 mill each. End of the pre season Washington has 15.7 and Oakland has 4.2

That's why. The Cards are set up well in Owner Mode; stadium is fully upgraded, market is huge. One of my teams is the Cards, after year 1 before playoff income boost (team was 6-10) I still wound up with $6 mil.

Teams like the Vikings or Raiders, on the other hand, are completely different stories. Smaller markets, crappy stadiums (I hear TCF Bank is nice IRL but its a college venue) and it's really difficult to make $ without some serious roster surgery to purge bloated contracts.

Oh alright I see what your saying now.

Just finished my 1 game of preseason with the Dolphins and the game froze at the loading screen This is the 2nd time I have had a freeze in franchise mode. 1st one was after I had finished a drill in game prep, and it froze at loading screen, and now after my 1st game, SMFH.

This is so frustrating, that I almost just want to get rid of the game, rather than deal with freezes. I dont know what it is with EA, but the only games I have ever had freeze issue with is EA games. I play MLBTS and NBA2k and dont ever have any issue with freezes, but with EA it happens with every game I think I have ever bought from them.

I have the same experience. I cannot recall any other game I have played on the PS3 ever freezing and doing so repeatedly. To the point where you have to shut off the console and restore the files. I have two kids, so I have played a lot of games.

Then again, I also have never played another game that is such a bug riddled glitchfest year after year. There are the freezes, but also features that don't work, features that used to work but no longer do, working features completely removed, animations that stop triggering, and the crown jewel game crippling or game breaking glitches.

No other game comes close to the record setting amounts of these snafus EA manages to pack into Madden year after year. I just have to wonder why that is.......

The worst part is the sliders seem to be watered down more and more every year also, which hamstrings our ability to fix the game for them. Less and less user control means we are stuck with the product they release from the studio and have to bide our time drooling over the prospect of a patch that will manage to save an aspect or two of the game.

It is a tedious cycle that never fails to repeat.

I just simmed a couple of seasons of offline cfm and stats are on par with online cfm meaning more passing yards/tds, less picks and sacks etc.
