We've had some complaints that the salary cap raises too quickly and asking prices are too high. It's possible this could change in the future. For now, you can turn off salary cap inflation and that should keep things more fair.
This defeats the purpose of the salary cap. It's meant to create a constraint that makes things difficult. The problem as those above have mentioned is that it's untenable to keep your top guys or sign young blue chip guys long term because you're constantly hamstrung to retooling your roster every year. When I look around the simulated league after a few years all the teams appear to be suffering the same. Leafs sign Marner to 20m and the rest of their squad is dog **bleep**. I've been playing this game for years now and franchise mode is the only mode I enjoy. This is the first iteration I've found deep into the simulation that it becomes increasingly difficult to field a top notch team that you've been building for seasons. Every year I'm hoping the cap goes up more so I don't have to retool my team in search of bargain bin contracts by way of giving out future picks, over and over. If this is how your franchise operates franchise mode last year, why would I invest in next year?! I get it, it's baked in and you can't change it now. But let this be a lesson to you. Make future franchise modes update based on real world cap. I'm tired of playing this game in a flat cap world when kaprisov is now making 17 million.
