Stars & Salary question

#1
Is there a way to change the player ratings using stars?
This 5 star, 4 star, 3 star system stinks and lacks depth

#2
Is there a way for the game to base all player requests for salary based on nothing but stats/performance?

Thank you

Ya see, this is why I am reticent to purchase the new version. I see so many posts with zero replies. This tells me there is no commitment to a version once the new one is out. And at a certain point FHM6 will be ignored as FHM7 is being designed. What's the point.

Most of those blank posts were actually put in the correct place. Or were answered via PMs.

This forums isn't active because most players have moved onto 6. I do my best to check this one as well, but I can't *always* answer immediately. We left 5 in a strong state, and nothing major had popped up that needed to be addressed. Our development shifted to 6, and has now moved onto the next project. That doesn't mean if we don't find something gamebreaking we may not address it or at least try to help that person.

#1 No. The stars don't lack depth. You need to understand the star rating system gives you a basis, but you need to look at their underlying stats for if they will truly help/find a spot on your team needs. I've written on this multiple times, but Stars do not equal a specific number. 2 stars and above are more than talented enough to play in your current league. We also use stars because it's rated per league, not by overall database of players. So if you're playing a more minor league, you're not getting just a bunch of 1/2 star guys all the time.

2. What players want are based on a variety of factors. Stats matter, but so does team fit, your negotiation ability, location and age...among others.
