Anyone here play with the salary cap turned on?
If so, any tips on making it run smoothly? Been thinking of setting a cap that's about 10% above the current league average in my sim and seeing how that effects things.

I tried it a few times and didn't see that huge of a difference. It's worth remembering that arbitration can kill a team so either shortening arb years or making free agency kick in quicker may help if your league is having a problem

I wondered about what the salary cap did. Specifically, I wondered whether it led to more parity over time.

I had a league that ran for quite a while with a salary cap, and it fared pretty well. My few tips and tricks for it:

why do you suggest a lower cap is better? easier for teams to squeeze in a top $5 salary than $20 mil am guessing ps additional question. The choice of what the cap should be. Say in a 20 team league, the player salaries for team 8 on the salary list? Or should the choice be higher? one more question. Under your system all teams are bringing in the same revenue. The only difference would be ticket money coming in. Does in your league there be a real difference from teams at the top to teams at the bottom? Because in real life, eve with a cap, a few teams still have a bit more money than others to spend, just the difference is much closer than without the cap. Thanks. This is a good discussion of a topic not up here that often Last edited by sprague; 11-04-2013 at 05:55 AM. Reason: additional questions |

I have a salary cap and arbitration. No problem.

That's surprising to me; I've tried that and constantly saw teams exceeding the cap - even by a few million dollars, it still irked me.
