I've been reading posts in the help forum a lot and it looks like gameshape is to a player like enthusiasm is to the team. I realize the better shape your player is in the better he plays, but how do people arbitrarily say that a 30k person with 5 GS will play the same as a 10k player with 9 GS. I am hoping there is some sort of rough formula, and if so, what is it?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks, I ended up reading it, but where does it say someone who is 30k and 5 GS is about the same as a 10k with 9 GS for example :s

The answer depends on who's pulling the numbers from betwixt their buttcheeks. The only thing that I can think of at all that might lead to that type of comparison is calculating the change in DMI from max GS to the current GS but that's pretty pointless anyhow. I think more than anything it's supposed to be a cautionary tale to people spending way too much for way too little performance, but the people who tend to do that tend to not be impressed by that warning anyhow.

That's what I mean, where does it come from? Or is it just guesstimating based on the fact that if you overplay a player his performance will drop to that of a player with lower skills/salary but higher GS

I think that was a remark of mine
It doesn't really need to be an exact science here.
Is it that important to know if 30K plays like 10K, 13k, 15k OR 17k?
NO!
You need the best GS you can get.
Mediocre and he'll play like crap and that team hasn't done a good job.
The fractions of numbers in detail here are frankly a waste of time.

mhmm, I'm asking not because of my own players, since I keep them in best game shape I can (7+) but because when I analyze my opponent's players and they have like a 25k player who has 3 GS I'd like to know if I should TIE or if I can win the game, which helps me place where I want to

I use DMI the same way for relative comparison purposes. For instance, this season my best player never got above Respectable GS before he was injured, and so he dropped to mediocre and now is only at average. He has consistently been outplayed by my other players who are nowhere near his salary but have GS in the 8-9 range.
