Maybe there will be another flood of data by the next salary update. I'm pretty sure my player capped and am only waiting for 2 more weeks of training and his new salary.


Just to be clear: I am not using salary as an indicator if a player is capped. For me, seeing a training history is the only way to know. There are some cap estimates out there using salary, but they vary wildly. So at best, salary only gives a rough guide. I do not know if that is just because of sub-levels on potential or for some other reason. That is the reason for this exercise.

I knew you don't use salary as an indicator, but I assumed you also make some calculations to figure out which maximum salary fits to a certain potential. Anyway, I want to give him a little more training just to be sure:)

I think I might be able to contribute the data of a balanced SF after the all-star break, very interesting project, I am exicted to see the results :D

Sounds great. New data is always welcome. But rare data points are even more welcome.

Since people started asking Joseph Ka in the other thread to start investigating skill caps, I guess people have already forgotten about this study! Yes, I have taken some time off. I am going to wait until I have at least 100 data points before saying anything further. And at the current pace - I am guessing it will be at least another two seasons before I will be talking again.

By the way, this has been a bit of a frustrating excercise, since it has been a lot of work for very little return so far. But rest assured that I am still working on it and I will continue to do so until I have solid answers. However, I need the community's support, there is no getting around that.

I haven't forgotten about your study, but I also think Ka's statistics and training help gould be greatly improved by taking the cap into account. So I would like this study to succeed as soon as possible. Why don't you just combine your data with Josef Ka to get there faster and help the community?

I have already been in contact with him about this study and will continue to be in touch with him and others as the need arises. As I have said before, I will not be sharing the data, although Josef is the one person I would share with if he asked (provided no one who sent me data had an issue with it).

It's not about doing one or the other. Tho different methods resulting in converging results would be most satisfying for everyone, dont you think? This is really a key project, more important than the simulation of ratings, in my view.

Edit: I can provide you data for a capped player in 1.5 seasons or so. Nothing for the moment.
