but heres the words of GM Rip from the buzzerbeater FAQ
"Potential acts as a cap on training. Different potential levels cap out at different skill levels. So an MVP can be trained longer than an Allstar potential player. There is a rough salary estimate corresponding to the cap for each potential level. Once the skill set of a player reaches a particular point (The soft cap) that is equal to the potential level of the player, training really slows down and it becomes ineffective to train the player anymore.

3 6th man: 15-18k
4 Starter: 20-30k
5 Star: 35-50k
6 AllStar: 60-80k
7 Perennial allstar: 95-140k
8 Superstar: 140-220k
9 MVP: 215-315k
10 Hall of famer: 500k+
11 All time great: 1M+"

That may be so, but I think I've got living proof that this list isn't always correct.
My player has got his first pop (on inside skills) today, since 8 weeks ago. This 8 weeks he always has got 48+ 1pos training. This isn't normal for a player who hasn't reached his potential. I also haven't got a low lvl trainer.

But to come to the SB point, here's another (recent) post from BB-Charles. I can't give you a link, because it comes out of a Federation forum:

I think there are two pieces of confusion here.

First off, you talked about the Dwight Howard we created for simulating NBA games. Remember, it's a comparison of skills and his skills are being compared to other players in the same ratings set. More in this in a few months, but I can't say anything further now.

The second basically relates to something that I've been pushing to change for quite a while now and haven't been successful yet because it involves a bunch of retranslations; basically, one of the things that shot blockers do is to alter shots (meaning they are much less likely to go in), and these are noticeable events in the match viewer currently tagged as something else. I don't like making these sorts of announcements in private forums, so I'll again break things off here, except to say that I'm making another push to get these updates made to the viewer tags, so like the previous one, stay tuned.

Sorry I can't say much more - it's a private forum and that's a really bad place to be talking about future dev work.

With the past few salary adjustments, these salary ranges are no longer relevant.

Also Salary doesn't give much hints about the Players Skill, some Skills cost way more than others

SF for example will cap with way less salary (for well rounded SFs with Allstar 50k Salary is unlikely unless you train him when he already reached his cap)

Makes sense.

Great shot blockers in real life only get 2-3 a game, but alter so many more shots a game as shooters have to adjust their shot to avoid the block.

I also think that players with good shot blocking are less prone to fouls. Say if a big-man have a horrible shot blocking but tries to block the shots, the chances of him fouling will increase. So having better shot blocking will also reduce the number of fouls, that's another way to look at it in my opinion (it's basically the same idea as better ID=less fouls etc).

correct. i do think, that shot blocking must be trained high :) better defence, more likely to stop opponent players.
