Cause there's nothing that a league commish wants to do more than manually track peoples salary caps.

However, it does take away from cuts and other such moves.

It really takes away a huge layer of franchise, I mean HUGE. I can't imagine this was an oversight, they must've had some logic issues or something, or not enough QA time with it... I'd love to hear a response though as to why this was left out.

Well, without a CBA, there's no salary Cap in the real NFL either in 2010.

no salary cap kinda defeats the point of franchise....

Where are ya'll getting this info from? If this is true, then the only thing I can think is that they want the commish to be able to set it to what he wants. I agree, it's a big deal. It's not a game killer for me though. Most likely you're gonna have to watch over all the teams anyway, if it's like NCAA OD was. There were so many glitches and cheats that people could do for recruiting it wasn't funny. I'm pretty sure this will have it's fair share of glitches. EA never get's it right on the 1st time lol. While I'm checking members teams and rosters, I'll check there salaries too. Problem solved.

Not true. Salary cap has been messed up for so long you had to oversee other teams anyway. This will be just like they haven't changed anything. All you do is tell your members what the cap is and then you enforce it. It's not as bad as you think. True, it will be more work for the commish, but it can be managed.

No...that's stupid...Instead of actually fixing the broken salary cap, they take it out? EA sometimes does the dumbest things that I don't even understand. It's not franchise if there's no salary cap, it's just online leagues again with some tweaks.

I just thought about something, in Madden 03, on PS2, I made a mistake one time and I released a guy, but I didn't have enough money to sign anyone in free agency. Of course that release put me under the roster minimum for that position. There was nothing I could do. I had to restart my franchise because there was nothing I could do. Now I haven't did this since then, so I don't know if they have put measures in place, so that this won't happen, but I'm pretty sure that something like that is the reason they took it out for online. You don't want to ruin the whole online franchise just because some guy can't manage his salary. That's my guess anyway lol.
