true salaries on the way

[mcbiggins]

Hi, I am working on a roster with real salaries for all of the players. It may take a few days to finish and test, as I am only through the Bulls so far. Anyone interested with taking this info and adding it to their own roster patches, preferably with modified, realistic ratings, please let me know by replying here. I am not interested in distributing it as a patch by itself, but would rather give my work over to other patches. I hope that patchers can pool our resources other than racing to see who's updated the latest trades first.


Some notes on the salaries:
*All player options are assumed to be taken
*All team options are assumed to be taken
*Since Live has static salaries, unlike the real world where they escalate, all salaries will be the salary for the 2002-2003 season

I'm up to the Pacers now.

One more note: all team buyout options are being ignored.

most of the salaries are done, I'm now debugging and working on the balance for the salary.ini file

Where are you getting the info for the 2002/2003 salaries? I haven't been able to find any up to date listings.

www.nbazone.net has salaries. Some, like Baron Davis' extension, aren't there yet so I just worked out the average pay per year for him and Shawn Marion. And they only go to five years, so you have to do some digging on contracts longer than that.

If you want a good and accurate list of NBA Salaries, I suggest you click on the following link:

It has all the updated salaries, and should make your patching a lot easier
