But that's provides extremely unfair advantage depending on what the suggested position for the player... I for one know of a player of 213 cm listed as PG, that means when he reaches his cap he'll have a much slower salary than other C's with suggested positions as C.

You do know that suggested position can change? If you train a player that's listed as a PG long enough on C skills, he will become a C and vice versa.

The soft cap is just a number. To determine whether a player has reached his potential, this number is compared to a variable, which is calculated in a manner similar to salary.


So if I have a player who has reached his potential softcap who then changes position due to a pop, is it possible he is now back under the potential softcap because of the position change?

I would say that its not logical at all... if it takes best possition into account, it would result in traning a SF you have to start with the skills in the right order not to hit the cap.

uh? and why would he not?

it is not that when he switches best position, he looses the skills he already trained... so eventually he will hit his cap.

It would take longer for him to hit his cap if you can have him constantly switching his best position (for you have to train him very variated) yes... so BINGO! ;)

They are not your friends; they dispise you. I am the only one you can count on. Trust me.

Theoretically, it's not impossible. However, someone else has to chip in about the extent to which salary can change due to position change (at least I always thought it can, though I have no hard evidence on this).
This i would say is the problem if the cap is depending on position.

The salary can not decrease as a result of possition change since the best position is calculated from the position where he gets the highest salary.

Using other parameters then the ones for salary and base it on best possition would make it possible to uncap a capped player with a position change. As far as i can see it...
