Emnet: I.1

Are salaries determined by somethings other than OR? I just noticed that Ferenc Bálint has a higher salary than Pedro Moriceau . Both are goalies, and 31. Pedro has almost 1000 OR more than Ferenc. I have no idea how Ferenc would have a higher salary. I recall also hearing that the highest stat has some effect. Pedro has 807 GOA, Ferenc has 566 GOA.

Pedro is making 370,326, Ferenc is making 385,845.

Exp comes into play a good bit, I think. And ferenc has 3 times that of moriceau. (Ferenc is also actually 33, but age is typically not a factor. CL might be.)

For example, I have both Barry Rhodes and Trever Easton as offensive backs, 22, both 480 FiP, 1863 and 1826 OR, CL 3/6 and 4/6, exp 34 and 17. Rhodes' next contract will net him 206k/day (in 4 days). Easton's contract is at 181k. Granted there is a slight gap between their contract renewal, but Rhodes' current contract is at 171k so he's always going to edge a bit further than Easton as long as his exp is higher. (I'm biting my hand that he ended up with the lower CL, I almost sold Easton at one point! xD)

Oh I had no idea exp factors in! That makes sense then. Thanks!

Big blow to our national teams, looks like chubby fat guys are going inactive soon.

We have some space on the U19 and I think the senior NT, I'll salvage what we can.

but yeah, without his training facilities, it'll be hard to get new blood that doesn't, well, suck. :/

Too bad he couldn't just transfer his team(s) to another manager who hasn't been around as long or something.

Yeah, that would be ideal. It takes forever to build up the infrastructure for a team.

Oh... no. I missed the deadline to take in his players. Crap! Did it really have to be during the dang holidays? In my head it had only been 2 weeks. Wow. So sorry guys...

Makes me sad that we have 3 inactive teams in the top league.

The American top league is in the same boat. I'm still a fan of combining into a North American league, like what they've done for some countries in football, while retaining individual national teams. I also understand that may never happen, and even if it did it could (would?) possibly hurt the national teams?

At this point, combining the national teams would
Probably be best too.

I wish the leagues would happen, would make it a lot better.

We def could use some "help" with the NT line-up. Just make us North America (Mexico doesn't even have a league) and combine everything. At this point, it would make the game a lot more fun and I think we can put our rivality aside, ha!

Agreed!

How do we get them to do this?

One time I asked Vlady, and he said he thought it would be too difficult. But within a few months, they combined this way in football. So, I don't know if they changed their minds, or football was set up in such a way it was easier to combine these countries vs. handball.

If anyone's interested, here's the link where they announced the merger in football:soccer.powerplaymanager.c...

I just messaged Vlady about it. I shall let you know what he says.
