Madden question

[KillerKat]

I'm having a hard time deciding who to cut and re-sign for the following season because it doesn't tell me what the cap is for the next season. How do I calculate it?

I wanna say its calculated off of avg per. I also believe the signing bonus factors into the hit but only on the 1st year or a one year deal. Its been awhile since ive legitly done free agency. I usually just change everyone with one year left on their contract to kickers and punters at the end of the season.

Do you mean the overall cap increase or the cap hit a player is going to make? The overall cap, I noticed, does NOT go up $10M per year like it has been. It was much more modest...maybe less than 5? I'm not 100% sure. If it is the cap hit a player will be then SC is right...the bonus comes out of cash and the cap hit is distributed in that backloaded style which is one of many things I wish you could change.

The total cap. It gives me what my hit would be the next season just not a total figure.

I would say it goes up by about 3-5 million a year. I played 30 seasons (I think the Panthers won 24 SuperBowls) and I noticed that the cap did not go up as drastically as it did in real life. Maybe 3-5 per year.
