A lot of people noticed already that new rookies have lower salaries than usual.
I will not try to prove this as it is quite visual for everyone.

So lets try to find what is the reason for such change?
And what actually happened? Is it related with your own rookies, nationality, age or something else?

I do not have any explanation yet, so willing to hear your thoughts.

Yes, it seems so. Every change is decided by admins.

But these changes were made just for rookies. There was no major changes (if any) for other players. And it asks for further explanation. Will these new players be cheaper in their second season as well? Why changes affected only rookies? So much more to clearify.

It is for all crapy players as I see in the market. Not only for rookies.

I noticed that too. Normally a center with inside skills of:

IS 7
ID 6
RB 7
SB 7

And JS 5 to boot would have more than 5k in salary. His current salary is $3.852. That's a serious pay cut. Not that I have anything against it, but a similar pay cut isn't evident with non-rookies.

Indeed. In 4 leagues that I scouted for U21, only 2 18 y/o draftees were over $4000.
No players on my roster went down in salary, so it is only draftees that are bargain priced. Hopefully we get some news on this answering some of the questions above.

If you remember me, then I don't care if everyone else forgets.

Yup. As I'm a U21 coach, I see a lot of rookie salaries. Last season there was a C with over 7k salary who took the cake; this season it's a SG with $5.324. Oh, and a HoF to boot, heh.

Of course he has a low salary. No skills above respectable. Probably listed as a SF. Not a salary monster because not mono-skilled. What is surprising about this? Nothing.
