It seems to be the same for everyone

High JS+JR and high IS+ID. Do you want to pay $5000 a week for that? Take the bargain price.

The same for all poor players. Not just new ones. 25 years old.

Random all-around poor player from the market.

Weekly salary: $ 4 691

Interesting. I wonder if it's related to the fact that their DMI is equal to 0, similar to brand new draftees. Maybe this was a special method to apply a different salary adjustment to the new crops of draftees.

My ~5K players who had non-zero DMI did not have salary reductions. In fact, they had slight salary increases.

I don't think it is related to DMI. I have a player that was about a 2.5k player last year that's 1.6 now.

.I think its overall drop in players salary is in question here.

right, which is why I don't understand the fact that my two 5K veterans saw a salary increase. perhaps it means that the salary rise from just 6-7 to 8-9 is steeper than previously expected.

Definitely...I noticed this with my 4 star 4 potential PG. His salary was at $2,300 and I thought I got gypped for a minute. Then I looked at his skills and realized that they were in proportion with a previous 4 star recruit, the salary just dropped. Wonder what the Welcome to S22 will say about this.

I think I noticed this a bit last year, FYI, with my "division 5 cup buster" squad. I keep 3 players on my roster who are meant for beating up on inactives or new teams in the cup. They are well rounded with a few key skills at STRONG (8) so they have a leg up on randomly generated players. I don't have to worry about resting starters or bench players in league play when I see an inactive as my next cup opponent.

Last year I noticed their salary dropped from 5-6k to 3-4k. I think its a move in the right direction. I can now justify keeping a few "cup buster" players long term (and maybe even training them) because they will be cheap as well as useful. Before it was sort of a cross roads thing...yes they are better than signing randoms every year, but they are also inflated my salary after the cup.
