We haven't made it there. Even if that "fixes" it...we have 5 teams decimated by this, they would get scraps.
It affects some teams even after the change to the next year's pre-season. They receive an error that their roster is full and are unable to make any transactions.
Exactly why we decided to turn the salary cap off. Sucks, but it was the only solution we had to allow the five teams in our league affected any chance at having a "normal" off-season.
You'll be able to once the following pre-season commences. You won't be able to bid on any FA's either. Have one of the commissioners submit bids for you. If they (you) win the bid on the FA, they can just send the player to your team and you'd need to keep track of the bonus manually. Same thing with any draft pick trades. Glitched teams won't be able to receive draft picks via trade, so the team with the pick would need to select for the glitched team and then trade the player in the pre-season (keeping track of bonus money manually).
I suggested something like that here: http://forums.traditionsportsonline.com/threads/cap-glitch-hangover-free-agency-bidding.91783/
That's the right idea. Rather than having teams rescind a bid, though, it may be better to do the sign and trade. Yes, that means the bonus money will disappear, but you can adjust your cap manually in the forum. That way you will have the FA signed to a multiple year contract versus another contract year if signed in the pre-season.
just swap out "dummy" picks. so the team with the player sends player and 7th round pick, and you send 7th round pick. after that, just trade the picks back to one another.
Yup CCM is not really good if you cant do the things EA says we can do. Of course people ask this all the time "do they even test this"? In my mind, im sure they can get 32 employees to test run a CCM and do everything possible in the franchise, play some games, do some offseasons, catch these things, but i guess not. I would certainly think if these glitches happen in the final product, it happens in the prodoct as it is being developed. This goes with the clunkiness of the CCM website and ingame UI. Im curious who designed the layout, it needs to be simplified.
One CCM isn't capable of testing the permutations made possible by users. Keep in mind over a million CCM's have been created.
Yes, but of all the madden 13 ccm leagues on TSO, how many of them been hit with the glitch, I believe at least five of them have been hit with this glitch within the first 1 or 2 off seasons. While this is just a small sample size, if TSO is just an indication, the chances of every CCM online league will be hit with this glitch is very high and will happen sooner than later. I would suspect this could of been noticed during testing or development. Im curious to know if this glitch is online ccm only or it happens offline as well.
Isn't part of the glitch guys not being able to sign free agents during the offseason too? What's the solution there?
There isn't one. You have to fuck the teams that are glitched, forcing them to sign no free agents until after the draft.
You would have to turn the salary cap off and staff would need to submit offers to those players for the glitched team(s) interested in the FA. But remember, once the cap is off, you cannot go back and you're stuck managing the cap in the forum. Difficult to do when you don't have control of all 32 teams, but feasible with alternate accounts.
This is giving me a headache. : ( Whoever leaked that they were done patching better have been wrong. The long term prognosis doesn't look good as it. It would be funny though if 3-4 years in it magically fixed itself lol
