Contracts

[asianinvasion]

Dont know if this has been mentioned before but I just finished playing NBA Live and the way they do contracts is a good idea imo.

They have the option to front end or back end the money in the contract. But so its not to extreme like 1 mil, 1 mil, 1 mil, 25 mil. They have a percentage scale. So you could go up by up to 10% each year or go down by up to 10% a year.

ex 7 year, $ million contract at 10% increase

Year 1: $10 million
Year 2: $11 million
Year 3: $12.1 million
Year 4: $13.3 million
Year 5: $14.6 million
Year 6: $16.1 million
Year 7: $17.7 million

This would be good for those teams whose cash funds are depleted but think that they will rebound soon and they can pay it off later.

That would be more realistic, since very few Major League contracts are for the same exact amount every season of the contract, but I imagine this would be pretty complex to implement. Having deferred contracts (for teams without a lot of money) would be interesting as well, but, same thing.
