No Cap in Started Franchise
To turn off the cap in a franchise you already have started get your team
extremely close to the salary cap (100k to 0k works for me) but you have to be
missing a player you need (ex. have only 4 WR) then try to go to a regular or
pre-season game it will say something to the effect of "You need a WR" then give
you a choice to sign one or have the CPU sign it, choose CPU. Then it will pause
for a second and say "no cap room choose cancel to sign player yourself or
choose ok to turn off salary cap permanately. "Its that simple warning though
this will turn off owner mode for good
Help Lower Salary Cap (in franchise mode)
To help lower the salary cap,when you sign people sign them for 7 years and
raise the signing bonus, it will raise your cap until a certain point then will
lower it,raise it to the point when it gives you the most cap and there ya go as
Madden himself would say BOOM

Do you have a
low salary?
If you have a low salary and need to sign in new players don’t turn your salary
cap off. Because if you do you won’t get Owner Mode.One thing you can do is that
the computer automatically puts what the player want’s in other mode how much
money he wants lower it put the signing bones up. Somtimes the player will
reject but keep on putting it up bye 10k and soon enough he will accept lower
that what he was asking for.(while you put salary up little bye little put
signing bones to it’s max they like signing bones to it’s max)
Bargain Basement Superstars
(Franchise Mode)
Create a player without increasing any of his attributes. You can even lower
them a little more to make his price as low as possible. Sign him for 7 years
for next to nothing, then go back into ‘create a player’ and increase his
attributes to whatever you want them to be without raising salary. You can even
max them out, but how much fun would that be?
Various Hints-n-Tips
In Owner Mode, when you get to the Playoffs you should raise your ticket prices,
food, merchandise, and parking over the expected prise. The Fans may complain,
but they will pay up to see your team play in the Playoffs (You need to have the
homefield advantage to do this).
Also in Owner Mode (will be referred to as OM from now on) at the end of your
season SAVE YOUR GAME, before advancing to the off-season. Take a look at your
retired players, not restart your system and trade them off for some draft
picks, or whatever you can get.
NOTE–This will only work if you turn OFF the trade deadline option.
In OM your advisors may mislead you. When I raised prices they told me that
fans were grumbling about high prices (Don’t make them too ridiculous!). If you
only raise them a few over the expected, fans will still continue to come.
However, if you notice a considerable drop (over 5%) of people not attending you
should hold a fan appreciation day. The best ones are the ones like tame
atographs, team movies, etc. Anything that has to do with the team will be
big. If you happen to see nothing that has anything to do with the team, just
go back to the OM menu, and go back to the fan appreciation day menu. Each time
you go back and forth you get new options.
You may not think that this matters, but it DOES. Each time you play a game
look at the teams roster you are playing. Take a look at their weaknesses and
strengths. Now go under coach options and see you gameplain to the opposite of
the opponents teams strengths (ex. if the team you’re facing has a strong
running back, set your team to worry about the run more, if the opponent has a
weak secondary, set you O gameplain to be passing). Now that you’ve done that
go to management and tell all of your players exactly how they are to play. If
you want to pass rush set you D-line to the pass-rush side of the bar, if you
want them to stop the run, slide the bar to the other side. Do this to all of
your players, and you will be a LOT more successful in your game.
In OM if a star player is starting to get old do not hesitate to trade him for
draft picks. I suggest you do this. While in the short term you lose a star
player, in the long term your rookies will be developed into stars when your
opponents start to worry about getting new players. You will be one-step ahead
of the CPU. For example, if you play as the Rams (go RAMS) you see that Bulger
is much younger than Warner and will be as good with a couple more years of
playing time under his belt. You should trade Warner for a butt-load of draft
picks at the end of the year to the team that gets to pick first. I got all of
the Cardinals picks for Warner, and 5 out of those 7 are starters in my second
season, 2 out of those 7 are on the road to the pro-bowl, and my rookie CB, is
nominated for the rookie-of-the-year award. Trust me, you need to do this.
WARNING-Don’t trade all of your star players, your rookies play better with a
veteran to look up to.

SUPER COOL!!!! In All Madden Mode: Using the Rams vs. anyone. When a touch down pass is made from Warner to Holt that is over 35 yards long. Move Warner (as soon as you let go of the ball) to the end zone where the touch down was made. Have Warner end up in the end zone when or as soon as possible. Press L1 R1 triangle square circle and…… the whole team meets in the end zone to do the DIRTY BIRD!!! It is awesome! The camera swings around them and the other team walks off the field shaking their heads. GO RAMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO DIRTY BIRD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HA HA HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

how do you change the salary cap to make more room or just shut the damn thing off? (i like the idea of a salary cap to increase the realism but it is resticting me and pissing me off) Is there anyway to extend it?
