imo, the cap should work as rationally expected, rather than an appoximation. i thought the only way to go over was iwth comissioner mode on, but i don't look over other teams much. avoiding it should be easy for a human player.
if it's just a few 500k contracts here and there, that's no problem realtive to competition.. .those palyers are not helping the team much more than any other mook they should have used.

Just a few 500k contracts turns into millions pretty quickly, especially with the higher rate of injuries in this version. I've had up to 8 starters on the 60-day DL, plus others on the 7-day. If I was against the cap at the beginning of the season, I'd be $4-5 million over the cap, just with 500k injury replacements.
