I like to control finances globally.
Equal national and local media contracts is low maintenance.
This means that attendance, tickets prices, visitor gate share, merchandising and playoff revenue are what separate the teams financially. A cash max is important too, I like mine a little on the high side, $20-40 million. I want teams to have the cash to fix a bad contract but not 2 or 3.
In this situation you are effectively capping the league revenue. This has a meaningful effect on FA demands and (I think) contract extension demands.
I commish an online league and we run an $80 mil, out of game salary cap. We do not increase the cap we adjust global finances to get the balance we want. It has been running since OOTP7 and is in good financial shape.

Excellent! I picked 1987 financials because it's the first year that superstar players earned over $1 million on average. Cash max is $500,000. I'm going to give it a spin and see how it works out. Thanks for the tips.
