    Down the bottom left is the Total Value of the Contract.

    The total bonus ( #years x amount in bonus line ) can only be 20% of that total figure, that the simplest way of calculating it.
    Forgot about that being displayed! Fair bit easier alright!

    Cleveland put in 7 bids

    edit
    A RG & RT for my ageing Oline

    Then the GM went back to their Baltimore roots to look for Pitta TE, Williams CB and Flacco
    I lowballed Flacco, I think he'll reject it

    That FB too who has become the hottest FA!

    A RE too, I like his rating and reasonable demands


    Cliff Avril looks tempting but damn he's expensive

    Yeah definitely interesting alright, though will have to re-look at what I did last night in sleep-deprived state.

    Absolutely head-wrecking that you can't look at their stats. In what way does it make sense to EA to let you blindly bid money for guys without knowing what they're good/bad at :mad:

    If you go to your team needs screen you can see the stats of a tierw select number of players. Click on a player in the position and on the right hand side of screen there is a list of players available through fa/trade/draft. You can view their player cards. Very low number of wr available though only 3 or 4 I think.

    Will Madden reflect the real world and players lessen their demands as time goes on?

    So a player may have big demands now but after no offers in Round 1 & 2, they'll be reasonable in Round 3?

    according to some guides ive read, it seems players may drop their demands near the end if theres a lack of interest showing to them.
    I could be wrong but thats what i took from reading them.

    Thanks for the heads up on the limits lads, because that was last thing on my mind on FA last night, so went back in and re-adjusted my bids!

    If you go into my negotiations it will state exactly what the contract is. E.g I have one where it is 4/10M contract with 2M signing bonus.

    So...I think that is right yeah? And I think if it is thats the easiest place to look.

    EDIT - Feck off Adrian. Bidding on all the same players as me. I bought the packages to try and help FAs want to move to me. So hopefully I beat you to them.

    Yep... On the ones I really need! My cap space will be ok next year as Matthews and Finley will be (hopefully) going into new deals with a low first year cap hit.

    Ha ha, you'll probably get them as I spent all my XP on improving the development of players rather than on attracting FA's.

    I did make some generous offers though.

    Well I didn't go crazy but offered slightly above what they are looking for due to my prestige and the "Very Low" player interest.

    I think all the players have low interest though. I don't think I could afford to offer any of them above what they wanted and I need the positions so I have to divide the money out evenly.

    I have no idea how many players I have. I need some backups too, so I am not sure exactly what I am going to do. Maybe just hope the Drew Brees doesn't get injured the whole season.

    Raoul, I have schaub in the PFL... He's my only QB....
    In one of my recent games... he got injured so my punter was going to be my QB... However due to the UPC issues at the time the game was disconnected so the injury was re-set, i was blessed!!
