Okay. I see your point. In many cases of high salary guys on the TL I see the "almost useless" and rarely do I see the Latvian or Fanesi. Maybe the salary formula should be recalibrated so that values above 15 increase not to the power of the skill level but 15+some decimal value. For example 16 would be skill modifier to the 15.2 power. 17 would be skill modifier to the 15.4 power etc. That might bring salaries down.

Also best players being most harmful to their teams- see Terrell Owens, Lawrence Phillips, Stephon Marbury, Latrell Sprewell, etc... Different circumstances obviously (and a foray into real world vs BB world which we all know is a bit silly) but it is difficult to build coach-choking into the training engine so they make it purely financial...

That is a fantastic idea. I would also like to be able to pay a "no-foul" insurance, a "no-missed shot" insurance and a "no turnover" insurance.

chortle chortle....

So you dont think that major sports teams have insurance against players picking up injuries? or is this because you are yet to have a player worth insuring?

Certainly the latter. My boys are too tough for insurance. They routinely dig drainage ditches with their teeth and engage in ki-otoshi.

can I recommend teaching your boys the haimen zuke... when my boys are on the road in dodgy parts of the US this comes in useful so they can make it from the team bus to the court!

obviously (I'd have thought) I mean useless in being part of a successful franchise. Perhaps you can win BBB with one 200k salary player and seven others on 50k each, but I doubt it.

Like I understand- BB stars have bankrupted their teams?

not yet. but they will.

maybe in a couple of seasons, when their wages will be unaffordable.

My roster will be completely different by then.... you never know if i add a couple more yankees I'll could set an All American line up!! I wonder who the Home Crowd would cheer on then??!!

If some of You guys call Ikstens and others overtrained by having skills 17-16-15-10, i feel sorry for You, because your goal of this game, then is 5 line-up guys with 14-14-14 in the main skills and thats it, no more development... this is not the same as in HT, where are those 20+++++++ guys, thats overtrained...

and like in my case, i got Ikstens in draft 3 seasons ago. he had such good skills (7-7-7-7) and potential i started to to train PF and C positions. So every week 4 guys got the training and that´s not what you can call action of farming or just developing one guy. Yes, he was training faster than the others, but thats only great! and the wage pop-up one season ago was so huge (from 49k to 190k), that i wasn´t expecting even close to that and there were no wage calculators. So, in my opinion, the wage calculation formula is not quite right and there should be a change for that in future.

And other thing, the honor to have your player in NT is a nice thing in this game, so it´s a good motivation to managers to train their guys even harder. and even now, with this big wage, i don´t regret training Ikstens and if nobody will buy him this season, i will keep him without any disappointment in my team. Because i have a very average arena (14420) and this season the weekly budget is +40k and by building up somem ore seats, it will be possible for next season to hold on.
