If people start to pay salaries they can't afford, they will be on a spiral downwards. They may compete in the short term but what will they do when they have no cash left?

Also, do multi-skilled guys in BB earn lower salaries? In other words, are these just uni-skilled monsters?

i dont think uni-skilled no.... most 50k players i imagine are 3x sensational or 2x Prolific/ 1 Tremendous (RB/ID/IS)

salaries...yes... but if you have these players in your team and your struggling to win matches...(thus attracting more fans etc) or you forgot to increase seats in your arena... then you have planned ahead poorly or are making wrong decisions elsewhere in your franchise...

3x Sensational don't receive 50k...

I don't have any, but i have one guy that is 2xSensacional 1xProfilic and he only receives 27k


Fair enough.....then the jump from there must be pretty steep as 2x Sensational 1x Tremendous is $57k (although he has sublevels in both Sensationals...)

Perhaps it's all the passing training you gave him or shot blocking? I have a triple sensational plus for less than $50K, and with decent guard skills too.

So, I do think well-rounded players (can play inside or outside) are more cost-effective.

I agree. This salaries are ridiculous and there is no team in the world, not even a main league one that can maintain players with 70k a week. From what I know, from each championship match an average main league team gets 300k. That's almost one third of the income. How can that be? Feels like they are the team itself.
My BP went from a 5k weekly salary to almost 10k! I feel a bit outraged, despite knowing that it is nothing comparing to 70k's. But I'm a IV team.
I think in the future this will create a step back on training players, most teams just will leave them to rot before they salaries get too high. Besides, if only main league teams can afford players like these, low league team won't be able to advance. At least, that's the way I feel, but I already spoke my mind on this issue on previous occasions.

Or just train more efficiently. It has already been said that multi-skilled players will have lower salaries. So go that route. If a player starts to be unaffordable, sell him and improve your team in other areas.

By the way - I don't think one 70k player would bankrupt a division I team. Having 5 starters with that salary is another story. I personally would go for more balance than one star but other teams feel differently.

Last thing - 10k for a player is peanuts given that you get TV game revenue 3 times a season and playoff revenue. I know finances are tough at the beginning but eventually things will change for you.
