The top players salaries need to be capped - although on a high level - so teams can afford to keep those players for longer than a week (just see the polish 500k behemoth, being shipped for ~1mil every couple of days).

I suggest capping an individuals salary at 300k, this way those players can be further developed and we will see realistic prices for those salary-monsters on the transfer market.

I think most people agree with this one, and I'd imagine it's pretty easy to implement. The specifics about what price, I don't know as I don't know the revenues of a typical division I team.

Maybe it could be done more realisticly. Normally player earns the wage according to the level of the division. So once he goes to 1st division, he would demand more salary than in 2nd league.

This would create the possibility to train even these players. While in advance there would be national cup more challenging even for lowleague teams.


Im so glad, that I cannot be 1-balled:)

Why should a player make more or less based on the league? At a lower league, he might be an all star. But the same player in a higher league could be a bench player. The player's value never changes, the level of competition does.

Don't ask what sort of Chunks they are, you probably don't want to know. Blowing Chunks since Season 4!

The suggestion is quite decent but not going to work as this would cause too much problems. If players would have level specific salary they would have to increase their salary when you promote and suddenly you could not afford the wage bill. It would also make teams in lower divisions too strong in comparison with top divisions and not because those teams have a better manager but that they have salary help.

It also does not make sense that the best players should be at any other level than the highest level so that a system that would support such structure would not make sense.

It is hard to stop teams that trains their players to higher salary then they can afford. But for teams that buy such player it would be good to add a requirement that they can afford both the transfer fee and salary for 5 weeks. At least I do not think that there are such demand at the moment. I at least have the suspicion that teams have to sell the player because they must avoid bankrupcy.

So my suggestion is to have harder demands on teams that buy a player with such salary and that teams that train a player to a too high salary will be treated differently. Not sure how they should be treated though.

General Problem
The best players in BB are not in the best teams at the BB. This is unrealistic.

Specific Problem
There a lot of monster-players with over $400 000 salary who are always on the TL transfering from a low division club to the other.

Temporary/Instant Solution
Lower the soft cap of the high-potential ratings. Now I think the things are like this:

Superstar ---> ~ $150 000
MVP ---> ~ $220 000
Hall Of Famer ---> ~ $500 000
All-Time-Great ---> ~ $1 000 000

The soft caps should be like:

Superstar ---> ~ 130 000
MVP ---> ~ $180 000
Hall Of Famer ---> ~ $250 000
All Time Great ---> ~ $ 350 000

So, this way, we force the managers no to make other Tapias...

Problem is probably not the high salaries. Problem is that those monsters are not as good as their salary. There are teams that can afford to play those salaries but three players with 200k salary is much better than one 500k player and 2 50k players. Until it is an option for the absolute best teams to have a poorly trained monster instead of three well trained players with lower salaries these 500k monsters will keep rotating between teams I guess. But I do not think that the solution is to lower the caps because then there will also be deleted an extra dimension of the game. There actually are very useful 500k players as well and it is also nice with having the possibility to have such superplayer.

I believe it is possible to create 1 million $ salary centers with the current salary formula and training speeds. However so far trainers are very reluctant to go beyond 500-550k, because when they do it becomes impossible to hold such a player. As salaries will decrease over the coming seasons


i believe the decrease of the salary is the magic word, the BB said that they expect the elite players @ the actual salary even in the future and you won't get those 1 Mio player when he isn't a "one and only".

And even when the actual 500k center are often transfered betwen the team, i could imagine that you could hold them especially for just promoted teams who need to build a competive team with low money to invest but still a lot unused weekly income.

What are 'the best players'?
Who says that the players earning the most are the best players? I think these are the players which give as much performance as needed for as less money as possible. And with as much performance as needed I don't mean the better 'grade' the player is given but outsmarting the opponent in as much ways as possible, it's all about creating as much mismatches as possible. Those 500k C's only create a few mismatches. Besides that salary management is a big part of this game, and if you would make such a cap that would be gone, and topteams would stay on top forever..

I don't think there is a problem, there are just a lot of players trained more or less bad..
