Warrior General Games

Hey GLB2 so to build this new virtual roster builder I need some research done. The first person that can fully complete the request below will receive a FREE season of GLB2 scout tool. If you already have a paid subscription you will be extended a season for free.

I need to know the salaries for each level of a players career. Rookie/Sophomore/Seasoned/Journeyman/Professional/Veteran

I already know the salary costs per position for a brand new player but I need to find the salary costs for a player through out the game. The player cannot have any salary modifications, so no % increases so that I can find the base lines.

I need Low/Medium/High salary for the following tiers/player levels. Also I will like the player links to validate the results.

Rookie LVL 1
Sophomore LVL 5
Seasoned LVL 10
Journeyman LVL 15
Professional LVL 20
Veteran LVL 25

You can see below the sample code I have for the brand new player setup.

PositionSalary["QB"] = [{key:'L',val:196875},{key:'M',val:225000},{key:'H',val:270000}];
PositionSalary["HB"] = [{key:'L',val:148750},{key:'M',val:170000},{key:'H',val:204000}];
PositionSalary["FB"] = [{key:'L',val:91875},{key:'M',val:105000},{key:'H',val:126000}];
PositionSalary["C"] = [{key:'L',val:91875},{key:'M',val:105000},{key:'H',val:126000}];
PositionSalary["G"] = [{key:'L',val:91875},{key:'M',val:105000},{key:'H',val:126000}];
PositionSalary["OT"] = [{key:'L',val:96250},{key:'M',val:110000},{key:'H',val:132000}];
PositionSalary["TE"] = [{key:'L',val:131250},{key:'M',val:150000},{key:'H',val:180000}];
PositionSalary["WR"] = [{key:'L',val:122500},{key:'M',val:140000},{key:'H',val:168000}];
PositionSalary["DT"] = [{key:'L',val:105000},{key:'M',val:120000},{key:'H',val:144000}];
PositionSalary["DE"] = [{key:'L',val:140000},{key:'M',val:160000},{key:'H',val:192000}];
PositionSalary["LB"] = [{key:'L',val:122500},{key:'M',val:140000},{key:'H',val:168000}];
PositionSalary["CB"] = [{key:'L',val:148750},{key:'M',val:170000},{key:'H',val:204000}];
PositionSalary["FS"] = [{key:'L',val:109375},{key:'M',val:125000},{key:'H',val:150000}];
PositionSalary["SS"] = [{key:'L',val:109375},{key:'M',val:125000},{key:'H',val:150000}];
PositionSalary["K"] = [{key:'L',val:56875},{key:'M',val:65000},{key:'H',val:78000}];
PositionSalary["P"] = [{key:'L',val:56875},{key:'M',val:65000},{key:'H',val:78000}];

I did some basic analysis and this might hold true across tiers but for initial creation. Low contract is Medium * 0.875 and High is Medium * 1.2.

So if we can prove that is true across tiers, then all I need is the Medium contract value.

OK GO!

The same position could have multiple different salarys based on traits

Ya but since traits are % as long as he has pure base cost he can go about coding the program for the roster tool to account for those.

I already have the modifier coded as he said so I need the base cost and I tried to reverse engineer it to find the math formula but couldn't quite derive a pattern so I am now going the brute force method and getting each one individually.

Brutal!!! I just did some brute force individual research for building a S9 roster as I will be starting a team up after S8. I am tapped out! LOL

Added some more formula information I just figured out.

Just go to the General Guide section and look for the excel sheet I posted a few seasons ago. Allows you to make a team with any traits and spits out salary #s for the team.

Did you figure out how the salaries are rounded? I made my own excel spreadsheet a while back but I never could figure out the rounding. Every time I thought I knew what was going on I'd find a build that didn't fit.

I did an educated guess. It ended up being pretty close to the real thing but not exact so it was good just for doing sanity checks when building a roster.

I've used it now 2 seasons in a row. Modified a little for my actual roster depth chart of course. But it worked well enough last season for my Rookie team I used it again this season to gage how many s* I could get away with again.


Just wish had sophomore values cause I want to try adding an s*defender to my soon sophomore squad but got to wait till we promote to run numbers.

well you could check if the numbers would match for a rookie team and if they do it should work

Eh, not worth the time and energy for me

The question is are the salaries and cap equal in their growth to hold true?

Yeah I'm in the same boat with MEM. Want to add a kickoff kicker next season but with only $625 in cap space this season I have no way to tell how much more, if any, cap space I'll have next season.
