At the end of the season I offered him what he asked for and he instantly signed. I had to offer WR Wright 15mil +5mil signing bonus for 1 year to get him to sign. He was asking for 3 years 4mil. My mistake if that is working properly.

I'm not certain, I've always questioned in sports titles what the factor in signing really is. In many games the logic behind final value signing is confusing.


I'll have to try this again when I'm home, maybe I missed something. I thought the only issue was always to do with star players signing for dirt cheap.

Tend to agree, most sports titles all younger players develop into a usable player. Few become RG3 and regress almost immediately. It'd be nice to know if this is by design, if so the label "bust" may be a term in madden.

I went and did a quick test of the LT regression problem by bumping up the PBK and AWR of Greg Robinson and Jake Matthews to see what would happen.

Robinson - 88 PBK - 90 AWR
Matthews - 85 PBK - 86 AWR

After season 1 Mathews only played 12 games but gave up 11 sacks. Robinson played 16 and gave up 26.

ratings at end of season
Robinson - 72 PBK - 95 AWR
Matthews - 83 PBK - 90 AWR

I need to go back and look at the traits and do the test again because the results are not what I expected.

Everybody else in the final year of their deal I was able to negotiate with week 1, including highly rated players in the final year of their rookie contract as well as veterans on a 1 year deal. Only Dareus was unable to be resigned immediately. I assumed that was by design since he's one of the top players at his position and would be more inclined to test free agency.

I've only been able to resign players in week 1, or the offseason. From 99-60 rated players I can't sign them no matter how much money I offer them after week 1.

That sounds similar to my experience but I didn't attempt to resign a star myself. The only issue I have with what the original poster stated is youre only given one change post season. Semi realistic but often times in the case of Randall Cobb this year, those discussions are ongoing and go all the way to the wire. Perhaps its by instance and age/overall/etc are taken into consideration.


Why Wright would've wanted so much from him I cant explain. I want to test tonight for sure.

Is no one going to talk about and discuss the drive goal bug? Has it been tuned? Is it still a problem in CFM? Anybody seen anything yet?
