If, for the sake of argument, the NT's had a salary cap these players wouldnt be on those teams either. In most cases.

the salary formula is ridiculous. but the BBs think it is ok, so very remote chances of this being changed in the future.
in BB players with level-14 habilities are better than level-20. that makes no sense, but that's the way it is.


Well put. In BB players with level 14 abilities are MUCH better for any team than players with level 20. Kobe, Lebron, Duncan, Dwight go home, no-one wants you in this bizarre world.

I think you see a problem where none exists.

The best paid players are more often than not, not the best players. The best players are the players with the most skills, not with the highest salary.

Consider this though, if I get a great 18 year old and start training him with great secondaries as well, then by the time he is 22 he could have a salary over 150k. And he still has 2 or 3 seasons of decent training left. However, if I trained him one more season until he turns 23, then his salary will jump to 250k, and suddenly his value is less. More people would have paid more money for him with 150k salary than 250k salary.

My point is, that this player will hit his prime around half way through 22 and any training after that makes it inefficient for your team.
And something needs to be done about the Centers with 500k salary that switch teams every week. the fact that the player switches teams every week is because no one can afford to have them on the team (either money or it would hurt their team). However, national teams still have this player on their national teams....so obviously someone thinks that these players are indeed "the best players".

A lot of people seem to say this is a problem, but I don't see it. It's just bad management of a team to create a player no one can afford.

And considering those national teams, if the player switches teams often he won't be trained a lot, therefor those players which are trained more allround will eventually be better than them.

That first part says it all. It is bad management at the moment to create players no one can afford. However, that isn't the way it should be. We shouldn't be penalised for creating really good players. At the moment, if a player is too good, and hence has too high salary, then no one wants him because his salary is too high. In real life people don't say well we don't want you because you are too good. If there was a salary cap then the skill that can be reached by teams will increase substantially which is great.

As for creating players that no one can afford, the problem isn't about creating new players, its the fact that there are so many players currently on the market that switch teams every week because no one can afford to keep them long term.

In regards to the national teams, there is a 500k center, who will probably dominate any other center because this player is too old to be trained and has really high skills. So no one will catch up.

Toronto Raptors's management don't agree :P

Prices on the market not only reflect the player's attributes, but also how much of an asset he can be to your team.
I mean, if a 27 years old is a beast, the only value he's going to give your team is going to be his on-court production.
However, if he's not that good, but is 20 years old, he could be a much more valuable asset to your team because you can make money out of him.

Actually, as a Raptors fan I know there are a lot of people around the team who think they will benefit from not having 6 more years of Bosh being the franchise player.
He's an exceptional player offensively, but some people feel he isn't a player you can build a team around.
And they got something from losing him. They actually got a draft pick back and a huge trade exception.

The best paid players are more often than not, not the best players. The best players are the players with the most skills, not with the highest salary.


If you dont see the difference or imbalance between the trainings-skills around outside players and inside of course then you dont see any problem.

The secundaries skills trained on a outside player are still really cheap related to the effect they have on the game engine, that its usually really high. You can argue that its the same for the inside players, but the fact is that is really easy to train a SG-PG, with 22 years you can have a multiskilled player with a ''low'' salary and if you compare it to an inside player, that player is really difficult you train them on passing, JR, OD etc or it takes much longer...


The training of an outside player is really easier than the one in inside(if we are talking about multiskilled ones), thats the fact i suppose lot of managers only train IS-RE-ID. The only training its ok for them is JS-1vs1 in SF-PF if you consider that 1n1 is important.

Not to talk about small-forwards that are usually trained in all skills, with a 0 cost on secundary skills...


This salary formula is in general really bad and having the TL low doesnt help

Most of this economic struggle began when they limited arena seating, and removed some teams seats. Teams could make tens of thousands more per home game, and maybe some Top teams won't go bankrupt in a month with high salaried players.
