Stamina and Free Throws doesn't influence salary:) With the highest soft cap, but atroucius Stamina and Free Throws, you would still train their Free Throws and Stamina, before reaching soft cap.

You don't have to, but you most likely want to.

but this is independent from the cap, and especially with player with low cap you maybe don't find the right situation to do it before he reached it.

when i reading your first post, about the salary influence of ft and stamina and their link to potential, it sounded like you train it better before it soundesd a bit if you like to get to the point that it doesn't slow down the training afterwards but would slow down when you reach the cap.

I don't buy these numbers at all. Allstar (6) clearly trains to much higher than 30-35k, and it's definitely the potential for which there is the most data available, since all players created prior to the introduction of potentials were automatically granted allstar potential.

I feel that low potential players should be given the chance to become elite if given the right training. They should not be restricted to a certain salary as that's not really fair. I have a player whom I drafted a few year ago that had stat of at least respectable in 8 out of the 12 possible ones (the rest being mediocre/average), but he only has a potential of starter which really pain me as u can imagine what kind of player he could have become! It's really pity that such a good stat is put to waste due the restriction.

Btw, in the real world, not all players with high potential will fulfill their potential, there are always flop. Similarly, not all low potential players will flop!

They aren't restricted and you can still keep training them. It is just that training is much slower once they go past their cap.

I don't see the issue here. Starter is a good level potential and you could train him for probably 4 seasons without hitting the cap, as long as you do a good rotation.

If everyone got hall of fame players with 8 respectables in the draft BB would be flooded with superstars and the game wouldn't be fun.

The draft is a crap shoot and probably needs some improving. But the type of player that you're looking for should still be rare.

This happens in BB, too. I'm sure there are hall of fame guys out there in BB who never got training.

Check the mouse-over number. Announcer is potential = 0, all-time great is potential = 11. Allstar is, therefore, potential = 6. Using any other numbering is confusing
