OK this is what I've got after Calculations
let me know what you think Hampe, I'm pretty happy with it but 2 heads is better than one

working with a cap of $4,200,000
Calculations were done on $4,000,000 (before I realised the CFL had raised the cap by $200,000)

QB 9% divided by 3
RB 12% divided by 4
WR 15% divided by 5
TE/SB 4% divided by 2
OL 10% divided by 7
DL 13% divided by 7
LB 15% divided by 7
DB 17% divided by 7
KR 1% divided by 1
K/P 2% divided by 2
spare 2%

I then took the numbers and rounded them down a little
in order to make future calculations easier
and got these figures which are based on average skill of 75

QB $120,000
RB $120,000
WR $120,000
TE/SB $80,000
OL $56,500
DL $74,275
LB $85,500
DB $97,250
KR $40,000
K/P $40,000

& increase/decrease per skill point will be at the following rates

QB $1,250
RB $1,000
WR $1,250
TE/SB $500
OL $250
DL $750
LB $750
DB $1,000
KR $250
K/P $500

Edit - Forgot the Imports, all imports will get an extra 5% of their total salary
That looks good to me.....but it's hard to say until it's actually implemented.

But basically, using your system, a 99 OVR QB would make about 150k, and a 51 OVR QB would make about 90k, correct?

Have you already applied the system to some of your teams? How did they come out as far as being under or over the cap?

Yes I've implemented the cap to 5 of the 10 teams in my canadian league

so far 4 teams were under the cap (some not by much)
and one team $100K over

which is pretty realistic I think

Yes a top QB would make $150K
although a top QB considerd an import would make 5% more

on the whole, I'm pretty happy with the system
salary might seem a little low to those used to the inflated salaries in the NFL
but with a cap of $4.2 mil in the canadian game
there's no place for the likes of Payton Manning and his $11 mil+ salary

Sounds like a good system then. As long as some of the better teams are over, and some of the worse teams are under....that's pretty much what you want out of a salary cap system like that.

No suprises Trevor........... its a CFL league

as near to reality as I can make it
there may well have been a few player changes since I started creating it
The realists out there will easily be able to locate players and move them around

I've crammed in as much as possible
correct skin textures, birth dates and age
college, height and weight etc.
and then added contract and salary (just 3 teams salary to sort and I'm done)

the odd player here and there may have the wrong skin texture or DOB
when my hard drive died it scrambled some of the info when I recoiverd it
Ive corrected as much as I could see (short of starting from scratch again)

the usual 8 teams are included
along with Ottawa Renegades & of course my Yellowknife SaberCats [:'(]

I'll upload it for those who want it when I'm finished
but have to add my common folder with it to allow for the extra faces and gloves etc.

Yer what ever you like,

How you would work that though is beyond me
because it would totally change everyones Roster.

Changing the subject a bit, I should have also mentioned
I also added in the all free agents I could find listed (those that where listed properly without missing info) on the CFL website
aswell as the teams rosters
and added in a few NFL players who have no team and arnt likely to get signed anytime soon

Well updating everyone's roster and making changes "have to happen" isn't necessarily a bad thing in my book! Forced changes are there for a reason and prevent a team from getting just too insanely good for the league. Interesting!!!

Who's that [:D][:D][:D]

My main inclusions from the NFL
were O-Line men where there is a wealth of players anyway in NFL
many many O-Line men in the average catagory

then I added in some TE's (like Kyle Brady)
who are at the end of their NFL careers and unlikely to be signed again
so moved them across to Canada to finish out their playing career's

Oh Yes, QB Aaron Brooks aswell after his nightmare in Oakland
then sitting on the scrap heap

Kewl,
not far off finished now
2 teams salary to sort and I'm finished
I can only do one at a time (gives me brain ache)
then have to do something else in between................ I Hate Math [8|]

EDIT - Just thinking on it...............
you would also need a good few more players adding to the DB
with your MBCFL at 18 teams and Mine set to 10 teams
I think the total number of players including free agents stands at about 962 at present
although I skipped over many players I found in Free Agency on the CFL website
because there was no photo and I couldnt find one through searching, which made it impossible to match skin texture
so I could easily add those in but obviously skin textures may well be wrong.
that would bump up the number of real life players quite some way and dont take half as long as MATH.

Haha....oh no! not Brooks!


There was a huge glitch in the European PS2 version of Madden 2007, where if you were playing superstar mode and had CPU control for the side of the ball you weren't on, then the QB would throw the ball straight backwards about 4-5 times a game.

I made a video about it and posted it on youtube......and I named it after Aaron Brooks, since he's the only player I've ever seen do that in real life [:D].

I have them all wrote down in notepad already anyway.

Yea I dunno, I've had people say they had the same problem, and others say they've never seen it.

When did you buy your copy? I bought mine the day it came out. Maybe I got some shitty early release copy.

Also, it ONLY happens in superstar mode when CPU is controlling both teams (if you set CPU control for the other side of your team). Like I said, it usually happens about 4-5 times a game (which pretty much ruins the game), I've never played a game in superstar mode without it happening at least once.

that might explain it then

I never rush staight out and buy hot off the press titles at £40+
I sit tight and wait a while for the price to drop off a little
and sometimes even wait for others to get sick of playing it or unable to play it
then grab it off them on ebay [:D]

The calculations would be great - I can then probably set it up to automate in excel or access in a SIMPLE fashion - unlike say... oh a player randomizer.
