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.

Theory so far is that training the player at all, you will lose the lower salary adjustment. We'll have to wait and see.
Good cup strategy though.

I thought I read something some time ago that while the player salaries had been decreasing, the salaries for rookies were still computed using the "old" method, resulting in the new players having inflated salaries. Maybe now they've also corrected the starting salaries for rookies.

That would make sense... so that could not be the answer.

You are 100% right :)
Here is confirmation from BB-Patrick (230835.16)

Doesn't change the fact that my (ex)draftees deserved the low salaries that they had. They are now looking for employment outside BB.

I will give my 2 cents about all of this.

I do not think the salaries have dropped by a single cent. I had a 21 year old trainee at 23k, trained up with an (Josef-ka) expected salary at 40k, and surprise it is 40k.

Then I have this fella (24018403). He got 1 pop last season only, as he is just a side player, yet his salary went from 5.2k to 5.7k. Even all of my scrubs have been gaining salary, even though only 1 of them got a freak accident pop. All in all, I do not think the salaries have dropped in general.

The rookies however are a whole new story. BB-Patrick has told us that the rookies were still being calculated by the old salary system, but they have made the adjustment to the new system this season, there for the rookie salaries are lower.

so how do you explain there's no player above 5500 salary out of the draft while last year there were a hell of a lot of players well above 6k even to 7800?
