But salary isn't based on the total of all the skills (at least not linearly). It has much more to do with the max skill doesn't it?

Steve

i think having a balance skill level salary doesnt affect salary increase that much than having a skill or 2 with sensational or marvelous but other else got respectable or strong

yes i agree with you

=================================================================

but i dont think it could be this way for lets say a all star potential guy? is it really this way to sum his growth that if he reaches it then it a long climb after?

meaning a player would be like shaq, who though is a great inside player but is as dumb as a one who cant pass a exam in free throws?

as much as i think, for some guys training is a way to improve but i think the lakers even as saying it hiring ft shooting coaches for shaq really didnt see much improvement. why. . . . they baby'd him because his a star.

as much as ego is concern i think shaq is a knuckle head. i think the lakers just gave up on him. because as much as i know the nba does this, developing a player on a year or 2 if he doesnt show mastery or imprvement the way they want it either trade him or use him the way he can be utilize.

this is a player or a personal matter to accept training, but i think having this to consider seems to tough because right now we got to have an idea what kind of player can be develop into ?

i thought that the overall issue was if a bench warmer can develop skills fast till respectable then it is, right now im understanding if he reaches the soft cap number then it starts there.

so no matter what skills you develop lets say you build on lets say a bench warmer due to the soft cap just to develop one skill to have sensational for example is rebounding skills but other skills could just end up as average or lower or even atricious?

i mean yes he can still be trained even reaching his soft cap, but whatim saying is his potential to reach what he can be in a short period of time.

wow! this is getting interesting

IIRC, BB-Charles said that the sum of skills is qualitatively correct, which indicates that it is not on each individual skill, but suggests that is on some overall measure of skill - but not a simple sum at least.

okay, let me help here.

this is not 'I think' , this is what a BB (think it was Charles) said on the forums a while ago (sorry don't recall which forum):

the soft cap works on the totality of the player, not on single skills. Basically it will look at the salary of the player when training occurs (because the wage more or less indicates the player's total skill for his position), and then decide if the cap is reached. If the cap is reached, the player will still get training, but much less then when the softcap would not have been reached.
Example: an all star player could reach a salary of 25k before reaching his soft cap, while a bench warmer might have reached it with a salary of 10 k. NOTE THAT THESE NUMBERS ARE NOT FOR REAL, it's just to give some example.

ahhhh


light at last!

but can anyone pretty please tell me or make an analysis of a player of certain potemntial and cap!

hahaha

because my pg havent made any pop for the last 3 weeks already! i thought he reach his cap already

but can anyone pretty please tell me or make an analysis of a player of certain potemntial and cap!

Potential has been introduced just this season, so I doubt anyone can help you. I've noticed that high potential players are ridiculously overpriced - does everybody really intend to train their players up to legendary? For the moment, I decided to stick with low-level all-star players that I intend to train for a couple of seasons, I don't think they'll hit the cap that soon.

Judging by your answer, potential is the total accumulation of the values for all a player's skills? With a player with low potential for example, I can train ONE skill to a high level (Let's say sensational) or train multiple skills to a lower level (Let's say strong). Is this correct?

the hardest part right now is that

even though a price range has been introduce, it doesnt usually being followed anyways it wasnt intended to be anyway.

but with this also comes to some people who really makes the buying so awesome and crazy such a roller coaster ride, i would notice some players of the same goes for exmaple a 3 million but on another day they are just around 2 million.

before i can buy potential trainees or even nice players for less than a million but now erverything seems to jack up to a million!

now with the potential thing, which i think to some i cant imagine them continue training a player on a position for 3 seasons non stop! anyways its just me
