because you can't use it?


From the Rules:

DMI: The overall player index, DMI, gives a very rough indication of how good your player is. This is a good way to check that your player is getting training, but is otherwise a lot less meaningful than it first appears. Be warned!


And yes, DMI really does stand for Deliberately Meaningless Index.

A CT? Really?
Any two will do
Any three for me
Any four will score
Any five are live

It's dangerous bringing up very old threads since the information may be out of date and may misinform new players if they aren't aware of the date of the original post.

Scouting for me, I check the last few games of an opponent to see what strategies they like to use. I also check the game shape of their best players and what positions they typically play so I can match up one of my stronger defenders. I also check to see if they have played CT or TIE so I get a sense of what their enthusiasm might be.

remember, it's the end of the season so a player with high DMI and low salary might mean he got a lot of training this season and you might see his salary get a huge increase next year.

DMI, is a weird thing, and you shouldnt rely on it. the best player on my team has a lower DMI than one of my third string players, so i think there's a bit of randomness or some other component included in DMI than the obvious factors (experience, skill, training, etc.)

DMI is a very general measure of your player's ability. It is based on multiplying your player's salary by a value assigned to game shape. Proficient game shape is 10, strong is 7, respectable is 4. Those numbers are not exact, as sublevels are in effect and there is also a random factor as well. Also, it is important to note that it is a player's salary as calculated by current skills and not his current season's wages.

Once I scored a basket that still makes me laugh.

Does an okay veteran player has a lower DMI than a 18 years old with hall of fame potential, even if, right now, he's much less skilled than the vet ?


i think when he is in better shape is could be true, because shape have huge impact on the dmi potential none.

In the past you could count max. Potential(GS 9)/10 = ~ actual salary, maybe you could use this for scouting.
