Cap Penalties Glitch

Has anyone else run into a cap penalties glitch for all teams in offseason? When fixing with new contracts to keep players on teams (ie Joe Burrow w Bengals) it consistently gives every team a huge cap penalty even after signing players to new team friendly contracts.

Has anyone else run into a cap penalties glitch for all teams in offseason? When fixing with new contracts to keep players on teams (ie Joe Burrow w Bengals) it consistently gives every team a huge cap penalty even after signing players to new team friendly contracts. Wonder if this is why they constantly release their top players upon them having control of team…

I'm not sure what is happening with the cap penalty, but the reason why teams are releasing the players is because at the Roster Management part of the offseason, they will automatically cut any player that is deemed to be too expensive. And since it's going by Madden 08 standards and doesn't consider how large the salary cap is, it's going to cut a lot of players that shouldn't be. You can rectify this by setting the Release Player to your control for every team's head coach - MaddenAMP has an easy way of doing this under Franchise -> Set User Controlled teams.
