Franchise Mode Contract Negotiations Feedback

Please tell me there can be an update to the contract negotiations. From what I can see we have no ability to initiate any kind of negotiations. We have to wait for players to initiate. Just randomly pops up. That is so much worse than previous maddens. The whole mini game isn't the positive that it was made out to be. The June reveal said we wouldn't have to wait until the last year to negotiate. But now we can't negotiate at all. In my current franchise I have 21 expiring contracts and 15 more with 2 years left and I cant resign any of them. This is far less control and takes away a major park of the game. Please fix this. It makes franchise mode worse.

    The contract system got a major overhaul in Madden 27 with the new Persona Engine, which is why those manual re-sign menus from previous years aren't there anymore. Now, contract negotiations are built around player personality DNA and pop up as dynamic weekly agenda scenarios when players actually want to talk extensions.

    That said, I hear you on wanting more control over your roster, especially when you're staring down dozens of expiring deals and want to lock your guys up early. I'll pass along the feedback that the lack of a manual override option makes managing your cap feel a lot more restrictive this year.

    Thanks
