Do you know, if height fastens players development to the cap or it biggers the cap. For example: If i have two players, one is 196cm and the other is 226cm( training inside skills ), both have equal potential, so are they both capable of reaching 50k for example or the 226cm guy can reach 60k or he will just reach the cap faster due to his bonus from his height.

with same cap, they will reach the cap at the same point of development ;)

But because the 2.26 reach it earlier, and still trains faster after the cap he will maybe reach the 60k while the "small" guy just hit the cap with 50 k.

Yes, I asked the people to inform each time that the analized player got a pop. When the player reached his potential limits just had a pop each 6-7 weeks, so it was easy to see "when" a trainee got the cap. I follow even Aristides Iktens trainings, an MVP who was the most waged player in BB last season (capped when he was close to 200k).

Its not a professional study, I used also Josefs Kas formulas to define the virtual wage of the players that got capped in middle season. After analyzyng lots of players I got this table. Its not exact, but is close, and can help the people, I think.

I also noticed some curious things, for example most of the PG had higher caps than most of the SF (both with the same potential, of course). An all-star PG can pop (without cap) when he is 50k, and I have never seen an Allstar SF that can pop when he is 48k+

I have definitely noticed variation in cap levels for different players, though I doubt it is position-dependent.

i could confirm that, i got two guard with nearly the similiar skills and allstar*, one of them i got from 46k salary to 60k the other didn't reach the 50k with the same training and 45k base salary with much less pops.

Perhaps there are sub-levels for Potential too... It would be kind of logical...

Why not? If there are sublevels of potential, this doesn't necessarily mean that all allstar* players are identical up to the decimal point.

Good point. And also, different positions may have different caps on salary range (I.E.: Centers are higher than point guards in salary)

The BB team has previously stated that this is not the case.

Maybe is not the position, maybe is just the skill distribution, but I have never seen an Allstar SF who improved when he was more than 45-48k. I trained a PG that reached the limits when he was 65k, and now Im training one with a virtual wage of 58-61k and keeps improving.

I have seen also some SF capped when they werent even 40k.
If someone finds an SF of 50k that keeps improving fastly I would be happy to see it.

About the sublevels, Im sure that the potential has sublevels, everything - related with skills - in this game has them.
