Are those salaries per week? Dumb question, I know. Just clarifying.


Salaries are paid per financial u p d a t e - Sundays and Wednesdays...


Yes the number I was referring to is the one on your team overview page.

Your weekly player salary is currently showing as:

Weekly wages Players $ 2,454,924

The amounts and numbers I stated above are not the be all end all. Just my belief that it's a good way to run a team in this game. From there you can project out how much you should or shouldn't spend on each player.

Example:

QB- Max 300k
FB/HB- 150k
WR 100k
OL 150k
OL 150k
OL 75k
OL 75k
OL 50k
TE/WR 50k
WR3 25k
Back up OL 25k
etc

These are just examples not real numbers I am saying you should use. but if you decide you are gonna budget 2.5 million for the team then you work backwards like above and figure out how much you can spend max on a player.

Makes sense. Thank you. I've been playing for awhile, but I've been doing it all wrong. I'll be back up in a couple of seasons ready to compete.

I don't think there is a clear wrong way to do it. But they way you are doing it isn't working for you.

Right. I have a couple of stars wanting 300k for the next contract. I'm debating it in my head.

It depends on their position and how important they are to what you are trying to do A solid QB it is worth it Then it is balance you need 2 starting OTs if you have one that plays for cheap you can pay a little more for the other side then there is the issue if you don't play him who do you play

My strategy was to back of and go lowest budget possible for a season and build up my bank account to 100 million and now I can have a larger budget team as I put in the 50 million to the media center then making the play offs gives you a lot more money with my budget I plan to break even this year possibly even make a few million but that is making the play offs


It is one of my complaints to Pete that teams that do not make the play offs should be able to play games as well and make something more than he allows but money management in this game is 60 to 70% of what it takes to be successful My opinion

Well, my salaries are quite high (about 7 mio for players and coaches) but I'm able to actually earn money during the season - right now I'm nearly at the point the season started (before paying Mediacentre).
Without playoffs I would loose money but no playoffs with this salary would be very bad management from my side

It's a shame we still couldn't compensate 50m from the mediacenter. 75% is not good enough

Do the contributions and the percentage of return in the Mediacenter include bot teams or just active players? When I relegate for my season, I don't want to contribute if the bots are included.

Edit- - they do contribute 100%. Imagine that I actually read the manual for once.
