Hard Salary Cap!!!
Simple request....just gives us another style of gameplay for online league. I have been asking for this for couple versions now. I got my other one which was bye's in the playoffs. Just want a hard salary cap to give everyone an even playing field. More like the NFL then the MLB.
Request: REALLY HIGH |

If I'm not mistaken, there's already the option for a hard salary cap on the League Financials page in the setup area. It doesn't allow for individual player salary caps, but it does put a cap on total team payroll.

Yeah, you can already do this. It's not perfect, in that teams can "accidentally" spend over the cap with arbitration and the like, but the game will then not let them spend any more money until they're back under it.
Works fine, I've done it before. Just set the "Player Salary Cap" under the Financials tab in League Setup. You'll have to do some test runs to get the right numbers. |

so say i have 3 leagues...i can do something like this
Upper League 120 million for salary cap Middle League 105 million for salary cap Lower League 90 million for salary cap? Arbitration can be on or off? rule 5 draft? (one draft for all leagues?) min. service years for FA? min. service years for minor league FA? Assuming I need to play with type of typical player salary? (any good idea for each would be nice) is there anything else I should be aware that i didnt ask? Before I go run more test. First time do a fictional league and I went complex |

Yes, you should be able to set a salary cap for each separate league.
All other settings can be whatever you want them to be, however I would advise against having arbitration - it's the leading cause of teams (including your own) going over the cap. I haven't done a salary cap league in a while, so the best advice I can give you is to estimate the financials and run a few tests to see what works the best. |

If they're set up as separate leagues, every league would have its own rule 5 draft, independent of the others. My advice would be to turn off the rule 5 draft and shorten the minor league service time necessary to reach free agency.
