Yep, still disappointing and completely baffling. Like -- it really can't be that hard to program, can it? It's just such a weird unrealistic thing that has persisted in the game forever. It's supposed to be a simulation, not an arcade-y whatever we feel like type mode. Same as when they capped the years a contract could be at like 6 or 7 years (even though at the time, the CBA allowed players to sign longer contracts) and made it so you couldn't structure contracts AT ALL. They got paid the same amount every year, period.

If anyone from EA is reading this: contracts are one of the key components of simulating being a GM. This should absolutely be the one thing that is focused on being perfect and authentic. If we are allowed to adjust ticket prices at the stadium, but somehow, bafflingly still don't have the ability to negotiate with players mid-season, your priorities are way off and I would question if you even have any idea what you're doing at all.
