New CBA

[mikestrong19]

Does anyone think that the Madden team will be able to implement at least the basics of the new CBA (free agency, salary cap, etc.) if the CBA is released mid-July as expected? (Of course, if the CBA is delayed, than this isn't a reasonable thing to do, but if the CBA is released mid-July, that would give the Madden team at least a week or two to add some of the basic rules to the final build)

I'm not sure if this is plausible in the constricted time-frame, but it would be nice.

I'd venture to say no sir. They can't add those sort of intricacies into the game at this point in the cycle. Really, it may not even be necessary. I don't think the changes in the new CBA are going to be DRASTICALLY different from what we'll get in Madden -- maybe aside from the rookie wage scale.

I don't know that it's that farfetched. They could be writing the code already based on rumor and reports. Probably not, but maybe...

I highly doubt it. New salary cap rules, free agency rules, etc would need to be tested and I just don't think enough time will exist.

[vatechhokie01]

no way. too late for that.

[mattsb84]

Yeah...wishful thinking. Even if they tried to implement the new rules, they'd have zero time to test any of it.

Maybe with a patch? I don't think it'd be that big of a change.

[mikestrong19]

That's basically the feeling I was getting.

A patch seems plausible and would be nice. It wouldn't be that big of a file; it's just some code changes and additions.
