i can't see why any league would play with contemporary teams/players and without a salary cap though. but hopefully the financial system can lend some light on that.

Well, many leagues play without the cap because they are attempting to duplicate MLB as closely as possible, and there is no cap in MLB. Often times, new leagues like this will try to arrange for GMs in advance. Alternately, some leagues pick all of the GMs, and then hold a "draft" where GMs are selected in random order, and can pick the team they want.
Like I said, some people out there enjoy the challenge.
If you are thinking of creating a league, I definitely think it's smart to play around with the game in solo mode first. Another possibility is to create a "scratch league" with your friends first. Just create a fictional league, and play it for a few seasons to see how it works. Use that experience to make decisions about how you want to configure your "real" league.
Good luck, anyway!
