Complete Cap, Contracts & Finance Overhaul Please.

[Colly]

The bottom line, the game is still fun, but!

I'd like to see a total overhaul of how contracts, finances, and salary caps are implemented because the current situation is immersion-breaking.

The cap and certainly hard cap option does not work except for the human player. AI players are effectively allowed to ignore it. Somehow they're allowed to release players to get below the cap but then right after that sign a replacement on a higher contract more often than not. How they are allowed to play a game is beyond me because the human player can't be $1 over the cap and play a game.

Long-term this affects trades. There are no AI trades because most AI teams are over the cap. The human player is left to only trade with a few AI teams that are under the cap.

I've tried adjusting the cap, adjusting player min and max contracts allowed but nothing seems to correct this wacky world of finances and contracts in the game.

After much experimenting, I've concluded it's just best to leave it all as is in the default setup and just let caps and salaries do their thing. Better still disable the cap.
