At Reading I’ve lost a lot of money and took steps to reduce the wage bill as I couldn’t increase wage offers. Now I’ve got rid of the big earners I still cant offer a small increase to current players contracts, is this a bug?

Hi Joseppi,

Are you saying the board won’t allow the increase or that the players are not accepting small increases? If it is the board I can definitely look into it, if it’s the players there was a change recently were players became smarter when asking for raises, especially if you have some high wages in your squad.

Cheers

The board won’t allow me anything over the players current wage, this forced me to sell Tony King and then 3 other top earners but I still can’t increase wages by even a small amount.

Gabriel, how smart are the players? Do they look at players with similar skills or at wages in absolute numbers without taking skills into account.
I have a top earner with Mella but he’s one of the best players of fastticker and has a golden star season after season. A normal player can’t refer his wage to such a player.

@Joseppi I was suspecting that was the case. I will have a look at your situation but I’m pretty sure I will have to review the board wage restriction, unless your finances are really bad. Maybe link the restriction to the suggested wage…

@Dirk players will not look at the wages of players who have more stars or are “better” than they are. I say “better” because I know the way the game calculates how good a player is does not always reflect the reality. But if you have a similar or worse player earning too much you can expect that to affect the wage asked by a player.

It’s a long weekend here in Australia, so I won’t promise to review the board logic in the next couple days as I’ll be out and about and about with my family.

Logic changed a bit, please let me know if things are still unmanageable.

I probably have too much money now to offer them? Lol I have little money but can double some players wages.

Doubling is fine, the restriction will remain there just to prevent some ludicrous values that would render a team useless too quickly.
