2047 WBL Season Thread: Fignuts World Tour (UPDATE OOTP OR EXPORTS WON'T BE TAKEN)

[Orlando]

you're actually in 6th and you're 2.5 games back. In the SL you'd be in 5th 1.5 games back. Don't make it more than it is.

6th and 7th are the same doe

 

[Wolfman21]

Still bottom half of league in both leagues

 

[Mr. Radpants]

SL is garbage, could probably win it without exporting

 

[Wolfman21]

Me in the south league:

You in the poor north league:

 

[Orlando]

Still bottom half of league in both leagues

You have to add 5 wins for switching league though. So he'd be in first.

 

[Wolfman21]

I object.

 

[Orlando]

Overruled

 

[Wendell Gee]

Slow day in the WBL

Is there any actual WBL baseball news to report? The Triple A no-hitter was cool.

 

[Wolfman21]

I had something cool...but I forgot what it was

 

[Lloyd Carr]

Whoever is #1 in attendance, what's your attendance per game thus far?

 

[Wolfman21]

Cairo....43,596

 

[Wolfman21]

Australia leads the way in the "per game" attendance at 44,507

 

[OU11]

I probably left mine at $35 again

 

[Lloyd Carr]

I set mine at $30 and am around 41.5k a game.

 

[Wolfman21]

Mine was at 30 and im at 38,717. Losing Vajorov and salas hurt my fans and I guess adding Spider didnt make up for it. I'm dropping it down to 28 to see if that will help bring them back some.

 

[Lloyd Carr]

Once all my guys retire/leave, Ill have to go back down to $18 tickets.

 

[Wolfman21]

I've got a section of purists in my fan base that hate the fact that Thu is starting. I think thats my problem

 

[Wolfman21]

Also, i'm happy with Diego Ramos so far. He basically fell into my lap with Dublin not promoting him. I know I haven't played the stiffest of competition...but hes hitting .286/.311/.333 with 10 RBI in 12 games. I've got him starting at 1B against lefties and playing RF every now and again to give Chavez a rest. Also, Umpelev was a huge pickup. Hes been dynamite so far

 

[doh]

Varsity is already up 13 on JV in terms of the head to head...

My AA RF Carlos Beltran has a OPS over 1.000. Kind similar skills to Beltran too (walks a ton, solid BA/power). OSA has him at 1.5* potential and my scout has him at 4*. Will be interesting to see how he turns out.

 

[Rutgers Mike]

Last I checked, the South is the reigning champion.

South league is best league.

settle

 

[Orlando]

My stadium is too small

 

[Gooksta]

My stadium is too small

think we can change our stadium stuff this offseason.. Im changing my ballpark factors

 

[OU11]

think we can change our stadium stuff this offseason.. Im changing my ballpark factors

You're going to say that every year aren't you? Every 5 years bru, this is our 9th season.

 

[Orlando]

I wasn't sure if we could change capacity

 

[Wolfman21]

if we can, give me a 100,000 seat megastadium.

 

[OU11]

We can change capacity but you cant by more than 3% and you're capped at the highest attendance we currently have.

 

[doh]

Capacity doesn't matter at all. Only thing that matters is revenue and if you're in a smaller stadium, you can charge more to make up for the difference with someone with a bigger stadium.

 

[OU11]

What if the big stadiums charge more?

 

[Gooksta]

We should just do it this off season regardless.. Yeah huh

 

[doh]

What if the big stadiums charge more?

Then if you have the same fan interest you should charge more than them?

 

[OU11]

Then if you have the same fan interest you should charge more than them?

Then you have less people come

 

[doh]

Then you have less people come

But you have a smaller capacity so it doesn't matter that they draw 45,000 at $20 vs. you drawing 30,000 at $30.

 

[OU11]

But you have a smaller capacity so it doesn't matter that they draw 45,000 at $20 vs. you drawing 30,000 at $30.

Lol, they charge $30 too

 

[Orlando]

Oh doh

 

[OU11]

I think doh smoked some kush before that thought made its way here

 

[Orlando]

We can change capacity but you cant by more than 3% and you're capped at the highest attendance we currently have.

Why 3%?

 

[OU11]

Idk i made it up as i posted it

 

[Orlando]

I'd like whatever percent gets me to 45k.

 

[OU11]

I'll consult the league office

 

[doh]

Lol, they charge $30 too

It's not that crazy... it's all supply/demand. If all things are equal in terms of fan interest if you have a smaller capacity you should be able to charge more and get the same revenue.

 

[OU11]

No you cant, because fan interest is what %fills your stadium. So its really 95% at $30 whether your stadium holds 40k or 45k

Big stadium wins every time if all else is equal. Which in our league is the case aside from winning

Is fan interest really a %? I'd think it'd be some formula of market size x loyalty x interest = X amount of people at the price you set.

If everything is equal, the bigger stadium wins every time. Being a really good small stadium team might out earn you against a tanking big stadium team, but otherwise i have no idea how you're coming to the conclusion you are.

 

[Wendell Gee]

@doh having a wendell moment

 

[Orlando]

It probably is, but we all have the same market size.

 

[Reel]

Averaging one win a week

Cool stuff

 

[Lloyd Carr]

Well, stadium size doesnt matter if no one is going to any games because there arent any sims...

 

[OU11]

Sorry im not sorry

 

[OU11]

@doh, I have a 45k stadium and charge $38 to get 39k in there.

Have fun competing with that with a 40k stadium

 

[OU11]
