well, I also agree that the salary increase should not harm your team to much.
On the other hand, and the reason for my post:
The first salary increase I had, I wondered why ALL my players increased fairly heavily in salary, while many (most) of them didn't get trained.
Now, with the second increase my team has gone trough, I think I understand.
The players with low Form didn't raise in salary, even though they improved at free throws.
So I think that salary also depends on the form of the player (and maybe even pretty heavy), which is why ALL my players increased after the first time, since I gave them all good minutes...
If this is the case, I must disaprove the system, since it would be too easy to not have your best play before the salary increase and have their forms be low for 1 or 2 weeks to avoid a higher salary, and also it would not be right to have a rather bad player raise in salary while he is only in a very good form at the time, and not just because he improved...
I think salary should only look at the skills of the player, and maybe age, but surely not on anything as variable as from.
They are not your friends; they dispise you. I am the only one you can count on. Trust me.
