In my testing and playing experiences, that starts to make a mess of things for anyone who likes to play long-term. Essentially, you’ll have to start increasing the salary cap regularly because there simply won’t be enough cap space available league wide. 5 star players will end up sitting in free agency because teams won’t have the available cap space to sign them. They’ll either sit in free agency, sometimes for an entire season, or they’ll sign really cheaply overseas. And from an immersion and realism standpoint, we definitely don’t want that happening.
So it’s about finding a balance. Cap and salary related issues are very very difficult to get right in a manegement sim. So many factors have to go into play.

Almost all sports sims struggle with roster management issues when it comes to the CPU. AI will never outsmart humans and likely never be as smart as humans would like it to be when it comes to video games.
