As far as salary is concerned, my impression is that it depends on the relevance of the skills for the position. Therefore, since guards have more relevant skill, this clearly drives their wages down, because you can't train all of them.

Yeah I do think it works like this right now. But I think that's wrong or not fair.

Salarycalculation shouldn't look at the relevance and amount of skills per position, but it should look at the contribution of the players to the ratings.
The way it works right now is that you can relatively boost your outside ratings more easy (lower skills gets higher ratings in comparison to centers) than inside ratings, while you got a lower salary. Like I said before if you play 4 inside players with a total of 100k salary you will get the same ratings as 4 guards with a total of 50k salary.

Hi, I´m new to this thread, but it is hard to follow it... mainly because the lack of words economy... so I hope I didn´t misunderstood anything.

I agree with LA-Leyendinha. There is a point of non-sense on the thread, because we are discussing about a rule that is the same for everybody. Therefore you cannot say this is something unfair.
From your long discussion about salary/contribution, there is one only idea in my head coming all the time:

The question is now what should change? It's clearly that guards are more powerfull, since they don't need a high salary to get high ratings.

If this is true: why most people train centers? why most people play look-inside?
We can imagine that most people are wrong, and next question is:

(this is the idea coming all the time) ;-)

why not to change to train outside players??? because you will easily get to the first division and leave all this wrong people back very easily (if you are right).
It looks like you don´t want to change your training, and you do think it is much better to change the rules of the game!

Just an opinion. Have fun!

It just not true. Andre posted a perfect example of a player with 13k who had only JS,JR and OD.

Maybe my English is not to good and i translate what i think using expressions from Spanish in a very literal way.

Im sorry if it sounds bad.

The play that Andre posted has sensational JS (2 positions train), prominent JR and strong OD.

We have to se the salary of a player that has sensational (12) RBD (2 positions trains), prominent (10) IS and strong (8) ID. And then compare the salaries.

I have seen this one (its hard to find but you can try): (2671723)
15k and 11 in Rebounding, 9 in IS and 9 in ID. It seems nearly the same, and the salary is nearly the same. (a guy with 10-10-10 in the primaries has a bigger wage than a guy with (13-10-7) in his primaries.

And like Ebustelo said, the game is the same for everybody!!! and if you see what happens when you train the 3 primaries (look at italian Shooting guards in the next wage update)... take a decission, but dont complain to change the game.
