For all those curious, here is an article we did this past year about how salary cap increased in Madden NFL 23. We are including the graph with that post below that shows the salary cap rises year over year in Madden NFL 23. You can see over that in Madden NFL 23, the salary cap extends by year 7 from $200 million to $229 million and then it pretty much flattens out. In Madden NFL 23, that will go to a salary cap in year 7 of $269 million Mut 23 coins.
We do not know yet precisely how the salary cap rises will be spread over year, but we anticipate it to be somewhat similiar to how it has been managed in past Madden games together with the bulk of the salary cap rises coming in years 3 and 2 and then it slowly leveling off then. Our actionable takeaway from this is if you're still seeking to select a group in franchise mode, you may not need to shy away from team's in terrible cap scenarios.
If you have star players you need to resign early on, you still have to be very alert to the salary cap, but you'll have a bit more wiggle room than you've had in previous Madden games. How do you feel about the giant growth in salary cap space in Madden NFL 23 franchise mode? Does this affect the teams you are thinking about for your own franchise?
