49ers salary cap ....

[thehitokiri]

I just started my franchise and Ive noticed that the niners don't have much space ..... is the Kaepernick contract going to be make it difficult to sign players in the game ??.... in real life is actually a good contract but how is his contract going to translate into the game ?

would like to know this as well. or just a general overview of how the salary cap works in this years game.

Kaepernicks contract isnt to far off what it is in real life. Game has it at 16.7M for 2014-2019. His real life contract is 12.4 Million in 2015 and 13.9 in 2016. 2017 jumps to 16.5 and keeps getting higher finishing at 21 million in 2020. Now the only part where the game really does bad is his 2020 salary is 26 million.

The fact Madden can't comprehend bonus money and potential bonus money is the problem. Kaeps deal is huge with bonus value but in real life San Fran has the option each year to give him his potential bonus money or not, madden or really any video game will never be able to comprehend that......... Same last year with Revis contract in Tampa

well also in real life the niners can cut Kaep after this season and there would be no penalty but in the game there is a $12 mil penalty i believe. This is supposed to be a team friendly contract to sign other players but as of right now in the game this will make it difficult to sing players the second year.. I will let you know once i sim past the first season.

Don't forget that there's 75 or so players on the roster which is why they're over by $2m. You can always release players before starting a 49ers CFM which will save you money because you won't have any cap penalties.

Honestly, I'd rather be tight against the cap then have way too much space, as has been the case in past Maddens.

The real-life Niners are going to have some tough decisions (good-bye Gore? Iupati? Crabtree?) next year. I don't have a problem if I have to face those same decisions.

I can't see them giving up Iupati or Crabtree. Gore on the other hand is a different story.
