Because how you think things work and how they really do is sadly vastly different.

That's a nice dodge, but I was seriously asking if there is a reason that overwriting contracts with new contracts is undoable/incredibly difficult? Because if it is, I get that it might not be worth the time and effort. But that would also mean you have a very strange way of working a very simple concept. Overwriting a number with a different number shouldn't cause that kind of trouble.

My best guess is that the logic they use to determine whether a player accepts a contract has issues when you try to apply it to a restructuring. I don't know why it would, but I always get the feeling Madden's code shares some similarities with our own forums code. You know, spaghetti code that doesn't make sense but if you change it nothing works so you can't gently caress with it.

I am not a developer of Madden, but I do work in tech, and I very much believe this is probably a big reason why they can't adjust it to more mirror real life contract work. There is probably so much legacy code behind the system, it would need an entirely new iteration of CFM to be developed from scratch to fix, while still allowing for some sense of realism vs functionality.

They want to make this dumpster fire a pro esport.

The fat guy ran a single defense all game and the guy who won made zero reads, just motion snapped it to GT Gronk and aggro caught it.

Gameplay is being released across youtube. Coverage and defensive interactions are great... defensive line play not so much.

DHB caught a deep ball. Immersion ruined. I thought this game was supposed to be realistic?

Defensive line play still looks bad and unchanged. Now with power backs I expect Inside Zone/Outside Zone along with Fullback Dive to still be a thing.

I mean, I'm going to buy it regardless, but yeah not much of a change that I can see.

So uh, this could be a mistake, and probably is, but I was just able to preorder the game on PC from Amazon. It linked to my origin account and everything.

I can't imagine they would forget to announce that it's going to be on PC this year at E3.
