I'll add to that the issue that the game pretends you can set salaries and revenue parameters independent of each other. Player salaries are a function of the revenue pie that's out there, and their bargaining power (e.g., free agency, arbitration, other things that are in the CBA but aren't explicitly modeled in the game).

I could make some crack about how some parts of Europe seem to like pretending that supply and demand don't have to match up, but I won't.
