    good.. depending on how many people you need to resign.
    Safe to say you'll have a fair amount of money to spend in FA anyway mate

    Think you need to retire your coach.
    you can change this when you to the play screen (just before you play a game)

    I recommend the use of a spreadsheet to manage your salary cap for next year and in fact the next few years.

    The attached takes about an hour to fill out but will tell you what your cap space will be like for 2013 and for the rest of the franchise.

    You enter in the salary details for all of your players and you can see if you are in cap trouble for the following few years based on how many players you need to resign and how much space you have already used up in Cap space and penalties.

    For example I've got $55mil in Cap space for 2013 but I have 30 players to resign so I am in a fair bit of cap trouble, but wouldn't really know that without doing the analysis.

    Yeah you would.You can change your play book before each game though. If you retire you loose all your gained xp and scouting points (i think)

    yeah i know i can change it before the game but i'd like a set play book instead of wasting time scrolling before the game, would i lose all the attributes my players gained since i took over or just the points im left with now cos if its just what im left with, i might retire and come back in.

    I'd say keep that player until after the draft, spend all your Coach XP as it sticks to whatever you bought, and then retire.

    When you go to resign a player, do they give you an indication of an offer that would be acceptable

    Kind of. In the top right of the offer their "interest in resigning" is shown as well as "team need". That can be High / Medium / Low. The lower it is the more you need to offer them. There was a post somewhere here of the appox percentage you would have to increase your offer by depending on their level of interest.

    Bumping this as there have been a few questions on managing the Cap space.

    Ah, when I win the superbowl, I will have whoever I want.

    Also, when I was signing players my prestige was back down to poor despite when I got to the conference game it was really good.

    No we don't.

    We did them last year and it was the worst thing ever and pretty much just a waste of time.

    Not yet but if you look at colts rl schedule you can figure it out by adjusting where you finished in group. Eg I know I will be playing the NFC west and third placed teams. Think I have the AFC east too but don't quote me on that.
