kidhander1983 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Playing in the DEL, most of players say they aren't interested in signing a new contract, I offer them the same conditions and they accept right away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidhander1983 Posted September 7, 2015 Author Share Posted September 7, 2015 Back on this. I signed in the DEL a guy who played in the AHL without much success, Kellen Jones. I sign him with the season already going (needed to replace my first line center who had to miss the season with a bad injury) and I manage to get his signing as low as $66,000 (seems a bit low anyway, but let's go on). Fast forward a few months later, he is the league top scorer. I ask him to renew his contract, he asks me only $80,000. He showed to be a top player in the league, why he doesn't ask me top player money? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SI Staff Riz Remes Posted September 7, 2015 SI Staff Share Posted September 7, 2015 This is because the wage demands are closely tied to the player reputation. And the player reputations at the moment are not changing dynamically enough within the season depending on the player production for example. This is one of the long term issues on my list but again, it is not something that can be simply changed with a few lines of code as it requires some careful balancing as well.

kidhander1983 Posted September 7, 2015 Author Share Posted September 7, 2015 Thank you for the explanation, Riz. I am confident that you will eventually manage to get to something more realistic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andda715 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Hrm, instead of needing to change the reputation dynamically more during the season (which sounds awesome btw :-D ), would it be possible as a short term "fix" to add weights from average rating and/or if possible role specific "key stats" (e.g. goals scored, points or shots blocked)? That is, salary demands could be based on reputation and then "scaled" afterwards according to the above weights? Then perhaps players with 8.0 Avr Rating won't accept very low salary demands? Hopefully this could make the game more challenging. It is hard to resist not offering that cheap re-sign contract to players even though you know they should be worth more! ;-) Thanks!

kidhander1983 Posted September 7, 2015 Author Share Posted September 7, 2015 That's actually a good suggestion, but I would frankly be surprised if Riz haven't thought about anything similar, therefore it may be not that easy. Let's see what Ris says Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rohm24 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 That's sounds interesting. The improvement of the the rating system (it underrates defensive players so much) would be necessary so they don't ask for low salaries. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
