I know that this may not be easy to pull off, but I would love to see a feature in which the most used players across all leagues have their salaries increased (like stock prices). It feels like 70% of the teams in simleagues have the same core rosters. Dynamic salaries would force users to get more creative with their rosters and make the game a funner experience for everyone.

Scott er- Adam will get right on that! JK!

fwiw theme leagues help alleviate some of that repetitive roster fatigue - we've got some good ones you should check out (right now the banned league and the $15 league are recruiting - the $15 league especially might be right up your alley as frequency of prior use impacts player valuation much as you describe above)

Waiting for the banned to open up a spot, just would love to see it applied to open leagues.

Dynamic salaries would be a permanent fix to everything wrong with open leagues.

But short of that, here are the players whose salaries need to be revised significantly higher:

• LeBron James
• John Stockton
• Magic Johnson
• Giannis Antentokounmpo
• Nikola Jokic
• Stephen Curry

They are just too good-of bargains for OLs or any salary cap-limited theme league in which they're eligible.

Dynamic salaries are not a good idea - they destroy many working theme leagues and do almost nothing to combat the real problems; you guys are treating the symptoms & not the illness. The entire salary structure needs a revision, and the main culprit that so many of you complain about (like zora's list there) is how the ast% bumps work. I have a great fix for that. Perhaps I should write up another legendary thread.

I agree that dynamic salaries are a bad idea. It was tried in the mlb sim and was a complete disaster. Adjusting the salary formula every year or so when the new player-seasons are released would be better.

Agreed completely with that. The current salary structure was designed either in 2010 or 2011 with community input. It was, to my knowledge, the last time Seble spent any time listening to & discussing our ideas with us. And what we came up with was good. In 2011.

The stat rampup in the past several years has really destroyed that structure. Take a look at the ODL. A good chunk of the best teams is made up of seasons since then - and an even larger percentage from the last 3 seasons!

It is definitely time for a change, but I think it will probably come with a complete redesign of the sim. I do think that revisiting the salary structure annually (or at least every two seasons) is a worthwhile idea, though!!

A big no to dynamic salaries. That is why I quit playing baseball here.
