one observation

So high salaries of some centers are ruining a game. Now we have a situation that a players with so high salaries are not acceptable even for top 1st league teams. Take a look on a TL, there is a plenty of centers with 150k+ salaries, with 1$ starting price... We have a ridiculous situation, that months and years spent on training to create extraordinary player, could lead you to bankruptcy instead of earning lot's of money on tl.
No one wants so expensive center!!!
Could it happen in RL????
It is basic of a modern economics that if no one wants so expensive stuff, you must lower a price or else - what is a purpose of it???
On a second thought this can also ruin some teams totally... like making few seasons of training completely lost...

I feel something have to be done about this probl. salary calculation formula should be nonlinear for such hihg skills
tnx

Well in real life is also impossible to create such a center like this. There are many factors which have to coexist, like really excellent trainer, adequate facilities,competitive opponents, but mainly it is about extraordinary talent which is in RL a very rare thing.

I would see the situation we are in likely as a normal thing that player can get overtrained, especially if it is just a monster with 3 skills. Otherwise is the only solution to take off the options to create talents for everyone and that couldnt be funny at all.

it is already non linear *crunch* Which is probadly your problem.

About the 150k center, it is hard to compete without them, honestly i believe it is the area which is pretty good in value for price, above 200k it starts hurting me.

PS: take a look at "make the best player desirable ..." i believe it is quite similiar to your problem.

This is exactly what I'm talking about.... this is almost more than all weekly earnings of a 1st league team.. so where is a catch then?

For example, about 20 years ago a first hollywood actor had signed a contract on 1M $, but a moviemaking industry was in expansion and revenues from cinemas were bigger and bigger... now 10M contract is quite usual... (as audience grows)

I wonder what can we expect with our limited arenas and tv fees...? :)

Who said you have to train your players to idiotic heights? Get or train the best players you can withhold and then max their stamina and FT. After that just train GS. Training all around is the way to go. Noone likes 3 skill salary monsters.

If you train a monster on the SF position you are a brilliant manager, but if you train a monster center you are a awfull manager?¿¡¡ Please be serious.



Its the salary system its wrong related to the skills value. I've read lot of times, its the same to have an outside player with same JS-JR-OD compared to an inside with IS-ID-RE, but the effect on the game engine is really different, specially for JR.

Said some seasons ago, here if you train a Dwight Howard or a Shaquille O'Neal you are not a good manager, but if you train a Kobe Bryant you are good?

It's about creating player with the best skills who still remains cost efficient. You will get more out of your money if you train all around. Do you really need any skills in the green range at all?
Obviously if 21937198273 managers are training Dwight Howards and few are bothering to effectivly train Kobe Bryants. It would be best to train Kobe and buy something near Howard.
D.I team prolly could go with 2 pretty high salary players and weaker support cast. Or go with the Detroit Pistons type of Championship team. At the moment it seems you need a stopper inside and decent shooters in every other spot.

Who is talking about your team? "You" is ment in general.
