The cash max has no real purpose any longer, except to keep teams from having lots and lots and lots of money (not that AI teams keep it anyhow).
In the previous versions that was the "revenue sharing", anything over that max would be taken away and put into "revenue sharing" and be sent to teams that were in the red financially.
In this version, the money taken away disappears... the owner takes his girlfriend to a very expensive dinner... or buys a new Porsche... or whatever he desires. The money just goes away.

Thanks tysok - so if I understand you correctly - the luxury tax is now the new method of revenue sharing, and the cash max overage just disappears - we'll say it goes to MLB for league improvements or something.
That's kind of interesting. Is that how it works in real life? I thought the luxury tax that the Yankees had to pay annually was paid to MLB for an "industry growth fund" or something to that effect. I guess compensating the smaller market teams might be included in that fund though.
Thanks! Now that I understand how it works in
OOTP 9, I think I'll tweak the cash max. I'll run through the numbers for every team in my league manually and figure out how much cash they all would have for next year without a cash max, and then determine if one should be set.
