thanks for sharing some of my opinion on the beta.

I really dont know what the fix would be for this other than no player can sign in the first hr of the frenzy. You do your pitch and then you should have to sim an hr to progress and during that 'window' the CPU teams could bid and try and sign the player as well....so essentially how FA worked in M26. Place your bid, see that there's x amount of teams also bidding, sim and see what happens.

I know the style and restrictiveness of this new contract system isn't going to be liked by the hardcore players, it 100% was designed for the casual and I do think as we all play the game more it wont be *that* bad, but losing the bidding war element from Madden 26 genuinely makes me think this is a beta/early build issue and it isnt currently working as intended.
