From the Game Manual:

DMI: The overall player index, DMI, gives a very rough indication of how good your player is. This is a good way to check that your player is getting training, but is otherwise a lot less meaningful than it first appears. Be warned!


This can be an indicator to how low, medium, or high a person's level of Game Shape is. For example, a player with 8 GS and 162k DMI might be in slightly better from than an equally good player at 9 GS and 160k DMI.

For me, the importance is to know that my trainees are getting training, and to also be able to compare my players with the players of my opposition, and how their DMIs match up.

Its Salary x Game Shape(max 16). It tells you how close to maximum talent your player is this week and its why salary doesnt matter during games. Two 400k(or pick a number) DMI players are going to play at a very comparable level while ones salary could be $30000 and the other is $95000

Overall your team will play at or below the DMI average of the guys on the floor depending on stamina. One guy 3x better than all his teammates isn't going to preform even 2x better.

I usually try to get my top 5 DMI players in the starting lineup. If that means starting 3 guards or 3 PF I'll adjust tactics to fit. Usually it means Which PG do I start this week or which C comes off the bench.
