I'm considering adding a rookie superstar to a sophomore level team with the idea that within a season he would pull about even with the guys who were a year older and then pass then eventually and be a better than average player - at some point he'd move to a team of his true peers

but I'm wondering if anyone has experience with a 'younger' superstar and if they are able to contribute even though a year too young?

Rookie S* won't work in Soph but a soph S* works but only really well half way through the season. Needs some time to catch up.

About two thirds of the way through Soph, a superstar is pretty much up to the players a tier above, as seen by http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/player/59934 and http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/player/28916 - still some slight advantages for the older player, but it's negligible. A journeyman superstar, though, is likely better than most seasoned folks.

I wouldn't do it with a rookie if you want to be a top 5 ladder team, but I'd happily do it with older tiers.

thanks! he can sit the bench i guess if need be

I suspect it would totally make a mockery of Bort's salary cap stuffs when they hit veteran tho

for one season. Then resigning will be fairly brutal.

yeah then comes Veteran Tier and you can't afford your roster anymore.

Wasn't this pretty much what Chicago was doing before the owner disappeared?

Yeah, Chicago had a bunch of superstars one level down.

Arent superstars a tier lower still higher salaries than normal players? As in an equivalent seasoned S* costs more than a non-S* journeyman? Seems like that would kill the idea of any team stacked with one tier down S*s, and rightfully so

I'm paying a lot more for my superstar even though he's a season younger. Not as much as I would be paying for a superstar at the same level (were there any), but still a lot more.

It's also a S* on a High contract. It'd be a lot closer if he was just a medium contract
