And obviously, if players are completely identical they will have the same salary -- my test group was centers with no secondaries to speak of and no more than proficient shot blocking.


but you watch probdaly allstar+ which could all have the same sub, at least that would make sense to me ;)

Or if they are allstar+ then maybe they were trained to that 80k salary before potential came into effect.

i believe there was 1 player who was at this level at this moment, and i am not sure about it i would bet he got 70k at this moment and to the next player was a gap salary wise.

I'd just like to point out that this point from Charles came after the salary structure has been changed, i.e. we're now in a situation where salary consists of skill-based portion + adjustment for player distribution in the game (or in other words, at this point a player can change salary even without a second of training in a season).


I personally read it as a quashing of the theory that salary and potential capping use the same formula. So something may impact salary in a big way but capping not as much. As is often with posts from Charles, though, it is open to interpretation.


And obviously, if players are completely identical they will have the same salary .


Obviously, but that was not my point. My point was if you follow certain type of player up until his cap and take a snapshot of when he capped, then you will get the same results every time (at least, that's the results from my 6 player analysis). Of course, if you keep training him after he is capped then that is a different story.

Don't forget that unbalanced players will train slower,


My experience is that this slow-down is much less noticeable than the cap slow-down. There is a player on my U21 with inept SB, and I hardly noticed any slow-down in his training so far.

But I guess it really depends on your "cap" definition.

capped out at a lower salary level than at least one player with proficient SB (55 vs 70-80), But more on this when the data is up for scrutiny.


This also kind of goes with my theory, by the way. SB counts a good portion towards the salary for a C but a working theory that I have is that it counts very little to potential capping. I also suspect that rebounding counts more for potential capping than it does for salary... I have very small amounts of data to know for sure, though.

Is this a player you trained or someone you pulled off the transfer list? In my opinion, he was a player trained long after he hit the cap (probably somewhere around 3x tremendous). His owner then spent a lot of effort to give him +1 inside shot and +3 rebounding, it probably took close to 2 seasons for those last 4 pops.

my player's potential is 'allstar' and his salary already went above the 43-65k category at 80k now.
does that means he's maxed out already?

Yes, but it will be useful if you tell us how long did he get for those 2 extra pop ups from 65-80k? I have 1 C that 1 one pop up from the 65k. Also it will be nice if you chose to train him more, to tell us how much time will need for an other pop up
