For what concerns the global increment, I don't think it has ever been mentioned before it is applied, (maybe a line in the news a couple of times) since it uses to be an small %. Last seasons it was a decrement, so most of us were happy to see our salaries being reduced. The problem is that it's very difficult to be happy when you see an increment instead.

i do have a question that if the secondary skill salary has to be changed and show its significancy

About this, the reality is that this change hasn't been so high, so it can be easily disguished with other circumstances. Last season global salaries decreased, so it was easier to see it.

Just remember that you introduced a overextension tax which is in effect a luxury tax to rein in the salary expenses in the past.

If you start increasing salary to every player you may have to keep an eye on that tax, because people may end up over the threshold one season to the next, even though nothing changed in their roster.

I don't think that this change will affect the tax that much. Not more than when salaries decrease BTW.
With a bigger change it would have needed a review, that's true.

This is the palyer on TL.

This is the player of our NT.
The only difference in inside skills is SB. Our guy has 1 more level on SB. In all outside skills Andorian player owerwhelms our C. He's got more than 20+ skills. How come that his salary is more than 22K lower than of our C??????? 1 skill on SB (and it isnt that high level, I mean 17,18 or 18,19) makes 22.5K difference and more than 20skills difference on outside skills means nothing?? That is soooooo wieeeerrrrddd

I think its even more weird if it isnt considered weird :D
difference in SB level 9 and 10 is worth 22.5 K and more than 20(!!!) skill difference in outside skills is worth nothing????? Even if its on bigs. On top of that, Andorran player in all outside skills - in 6 of them, is at least one level better than Georgian player. And total difference is more than 20 skills I repeat, 20 skills!!! 20 skills are worth of at least 2 seasons training even with a trainer of a good level.
I dont know, it seems so unreal, weird and unproportional that I almost revealed all skills of our NT player.

It's not that weird. In the 200+ k salary range, one level of primary skill is worth around 25k.

The value of a skill level rises exponentially. The higher the skill is, the more expensive is another level.

That is true, no doubt,but I feel the point is somewhere else - Why players with more skills are cheaper while they are the same at primaries? This also could be ok for everyone else as it was until two seasons ago when it become an issue for BBs and they decided to fix it and they announced - hey everybody, we are going to fix the fact secondaries, that are important in this game, and are worth nothing in salary, are going to reflect their importance. And as result, there is no result and issue was announced fixed but will be closely monitored in future in case it will become an issue again.

Absolutely agree with the opinion. And my note was about the same thing. How is it possible that only one level difference in Primary Skill can result in 22.5 K and 20+ secondary skill difference can mean nothing in terms of salary. If they say thats the issue that needs to be fixed and its been said that way, then we shouldn't be seeing these types of discrepancies. It just doesnt make sense. Especially considering the fact that above mentioned Andorran player is at least strong in all outside skills, so that if i.e. perimeter defense was considered to have more "salary weight" and the guy was atrocious in that and his high skill number was due to HA/Dr that didnt have that much weight, then the difference in salary might have been somewhat proportionate, but the guy has 12JS, 9JR, 9Perimetre Defense 8 PA...And all those skills (in addition to 9+14 HA/DR) is 22.5K cheaper than 1 level of SB. Totally senseless and unfair at the same time IMHO
