You can disable it by setting it to 0.

Are you sure it's not a team imposed salary cap? Every team has a set limit that they can spend. A self-imposed salary cap. Removing the NHL salary cap will not change that, unless you change the team self-imposed salary cap for the team that you are using.

I think you mean the player budget, not the salary cap.

Then you can use the EHM Assistant tool for that. It can't edit the cap, but it can edit the teams budget.

Thanks I will try that because Salary Cap is 53,000 and don't want to lose anybody for nothing because we don't have unlimited Rosters and can't turn off Waviers. If I do Top Prospects end of season 2015 Roster Salary Cap no problem

Yes, just edit the trade_rules_config file for the default roster. It is located directly in the database folder.

Use "cheat engine". I've manage to do it. It'll find lot's of value that = 71000000 so you have to edit one and see if you have the right one (it changes instantly in ehm finance screen) otherwise go back to the original value and try the next one.

Thanks, guys. I was initial concerned about trying the Cheat Engine method but it worked perfectly for a league that is in progress

I went through and may have overlooked the answer to my question, im sorry if its the case..
i have a save game going on, i want to edit the cap as the players salaries go up on average (not that much but...) and the cap isn't going up... Anyway to just remove it or just raise it year per year? Again, not for a new save game, i want to edit the one in my ongoing save...

A player salary may go up, but not the whole league average, those are fixed.

As for your question, I don't know, but someone else may. Just felt the urge to point out...

Can you provide a link to the cheat engine? Half the teams in the league are over the cap, and the other half have very little space left. Hence, free agents are unsigned. Need to fix this issue; raising cap is the trick.

You can edit salary cap via ehm assistant

load your game in ehm assistant -> click on "competitions" -> click on "All Rules" -> double click "National Hockey League" -> click on the salary numbers and edit them the way you want it
