They didn’t have abilities last time it was around. Loved that mode. Felt it kept the teams fair
I always thought it was interesting from a team building perspective. I wouldn't be opposed to it returning. I think salary cap mode needs the right environment to really prosper. If even one play is so OP that it's very difficult to stop consistently, a lot of people will build their team to just run that play.
They put massive caps on those players. It evens out in salary cap mode
to me it's kinda like regs, you just either have an overpowered player or portion of the team that allows you to win, I don't really think it's fair at all, it's more unfair than anything to me because atleast in mut if you have a crazy wr I can match it with a cb. if you keep slotting a crazy wr or te against someone who can't cover him in salary cap whats the point. if they run gun plays they are pretty much impossible to stop.
I played where I stacked all my salary on both one side and then the other. i made adjustments after adjustments to get a balanced team. You would have like 2 stud receivers and qb but then would lack on o-line and rb.
you would build like a solely nickel defense and have 2 bad dbs and only a good mlb and lack on outside linebackers.
I really want the mode back. I thought it really pushed team building and strategy
