In OOTP 2007 I continue to see a problem with salary caps. In my current league I have set the salary cap at 90m... and every year (at different points in the year) a few teams are always over the salary cap. I investigated each of these rogue teams and noticed that not only is the total over but the players portion was over as well. I have tested this for multiple seasons and checked during different portions of the season (beg of year, before playoffs, before reg season, etc..) and the problem continues to persist.

As an aside, it is difficult to determine what the appropriate salary cap should be given the financial parameters available. Although I did do some air math and calculated a reasonable number given the attendance average, ticket prices, media contract, etc... it is difficult to determine what salary levels should be set for star players, average players, etc... that corresponds to the salary cap level. As others have noted having these values out of whack can impact free agent signings... end of the day, I can fix this with trial and error but would think that the game itself maybe through a modifier can set the values of some of the financial variables off the salary cap... or vice versa...
