Incorrect Salary Caps
You might think I have a bit of an obsession with the salary cap... and you'd not be entirely wrong! 🤓 I was trying to adjust salaries to make all the teams cap compliant when I noticed that the sa...

@Beauts90 It seems the cap is not the same if I create a new one, but the numbers are all familiar. These are the numbers from Franchise #2.
24-25 $84.000M
25-26 $85.000M
26-27 $84.250M
27-28 $86.500M
28-29 $84.500M
29-30 $84.100M
30-31 $86.500M
So the numbers are the same, just in a random order and with one thing in common. It never even reach $87.500M which I think is the expected cap for the 24-25 season, followed by a similar jump to $91-92M in 25-26.
Just a way to keep things from going out of hand or something? Either way... disappointing!

Interesting, you should fill out a bug report just in case that’s what this is.
I remember when they introduced custom leagues, literally the only thing I was looking forward to doing is having a little more control on the cap from year to year.
I honestly prefer this unpredictable volatility to 23 when you could be guaranteed that the cap would be near $100mil by year 8.
I prefer having low cap increases myself, but it’s honestly a lose-lose scenario no matter what.
In 21, 22 and 23 if I was using a rebuilding team, I would have to drastically overpay all my players just to reach the cap floor it was so high.Back in NHL 19 and 20, the biggest problems with the cap not going up enough was a lot of the best RFA’s would sit out an entire year or more because the AI GM’s were so horrible.
I’ve seen nothing in this game recently that doesn’t tell me that’s how it’s going to work in 24 if that’s how little the cap goes up.
Personally I would prefer if there were options for how you want the cap to change.
- The expected cap increase for next year (and then percentages on the increase randomly between 1-5% or something)
- Set up manually year for year (would be awesome, especially for those who play until the end of their franchise and want control)
- Random (maybe a max % up/down to not make it too crazy)
