OOTPX Contract and Financial Possibilities

[bababui]

Does anyone know if:

1)We can set hard min and max player salaries?

2)Max contract lengths? (Say only 1 year deals? Or maybe a max of two years?)

3)We can set hard salary caps that neither the human nor the AI may breach?

1. No

2. No

3. Yes. I'm almost certain that the salary cap is a hard cap. Am I wrong? Does the AI ignore it?

Thanks for the reply. I wish it could be.

I need to do a test because I have set a cap on the draft screen..and some teams do go over that. But I think its a necessary evil to ensure a balanced distribution of talent.

That's not a cap. That's drafting with a fixed budget. There's a salary cap option somewhere in the league setup under finances or the like.

Teams only exceed their fixed budgets to assign salaries to coaches and pre-arbitration players (those who aren't given inappropriately larger contracts during the draft, but we discussed that problem elsewhere).

My experience is the AI ignores it. I just ran ten year sim on converted OOTP9 league with all teams managed by AI and a significant number of teams are over the cap every year.
