Here a very rough estimate on Cap as it pertains to Salary. Its what i use. Yes with the salaries going down over the last few season this isn't 100% accurate any more but i've found that it gives a VERY close estimate. Also note that if you pull up the transfer market there isn't a player i found with a salary anywhere near the Caps listed here for Hall of Fame or All-time Great. I actually would go as far to say if you revised this estimate the caps have gone DOWN because overall salaries are down. But do some research on the transfer market and let me know if you see a player with Star Potential who's salary is greater than 40-50k or a Starter making more than 30k. You wont i think

0 Announcer: < 6k
1 Bench warmer: < 8k
2 Role player: < 13k
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+

I guess you have search veeeery long to find players above 350k salary

I remember just the C from Armenia with about 325k.

Yeah, that's the reference I was using until I discovered Buzzer Manager and the Salary Estimation tool. The discrepancy is the reason I started the thread.


@Trainerman-- I know personally I'm making less than optimal choices. I probably could have just brought in an endless stream of older mercenaries and competed for promotion my first season, certainly could have done it this season. I've placed these arbitrary and even irrational restrictions on myself to help me stay interested and invested in my team. You give really good advice and I like reading it even if I don't plan on following it to the letter.
