How to define or seperate those 3 cap stages? For example, after adding 20k salary, the player goes to the next stage?
It's not that simple, I'm afraid. My research shows that the "cap tier lengths" are dynamic. They vary from player to player. If I had to make a guess - every player is probably generated with four different cap limits which are random decimals within certain boundaries:
HoFs:Player 1 -> 10.18 | 10.64 | 10.82 | 10.94
Player 2 -> 10.33 | 10.57 | 10.78 | 11.00
etc...
Thus one can't exactly predict when the player moves from one cap tier to the next.
I might be wrong ofc. Don't take that for a fact.
BBB: 2 (S37 S38); Top tier: 7 (S35 S36 S37 S38 S39 S41 S63); Cup: 9 (S25 S35 S36 S37 S38 S39 S40 S41 S61)
