Fuck my owner. He's suppose to be generous yet I win 101 games and see no increase in budget. I made more money than I lost last year.
Also how do I have 900k in cash to start the year then lose 600k? Fuck Tankee JD and the rest who tank every year and just steal revenue sharing money.
That is all.

Yes I was basically even but I also got a new TV contract and it still didn't go up.
My attendance was basically even despite the fact I lowered prices by 40 cents or so and I won 101 games.
Ticket Prices...what are folks looking at as far as prices? My fan base seems to be a pretty good one to keep coming back with the decent numbers they do even though the Tehran organization hasn't given them a playoff berth since its inception. I'm charging $22. Is that on the low end? High end?
Probably low but you cant go too high unless you're winning. I charged $30 this year.
Yeah you can change it whenever, but if you go up during the season you will experience a huge drop off. They get really mad. I usually go up a dollar in the offseason and see if I can retain that level. If I think I'm going to be really good I'll bump it more than that. Last off-season I went from $26 to $30 because I was confident we would make the playoffs. I'm going to go up a dollar or two next year to ride the wave
I did whatever the hell I wanted at Madison haha. I messed with ticket prices like crazy. Was up to $35 or 40 at one point. You definitely see peaks and valleys if you change it midseason. Maybe it's better to lower them midseason if attendance seems stagnant and raise them in the offseason if attendance is near sellout.
I've seen it happen once or twice. Only a level though. What was it before?
Just means he is tight with his cash. You'll go up in budget when winning but you won't jump as much as the higher levels
I can live with that. He gave me a lot for extensions (28 mil) so I've been trying to lock up my young guys for less than or market value. Granted I have no clue what market value is.
Economizer. Now he is Charitable. Only his second year as owner, so maybe he was testing me
Idk that is only one step up so maybe he is loosening up. It is rare so feel special
He went from yellow to green, so that makes me happy. Maybe no more $16m drops
Well the guys I'm resigning are still entering their "prime" years IRL.

OU, knowledge dump on everything.
I max scouting and put the sliders at like 40% each Amateur and Intl, 15% Minor and 5% Major. Stats at Major league tells me enough of a story.
Dev I had really high until @Orlando told me that anything over 2x the average doesn't yield any significant bonus.
That's how I built my team. To be fair, @Reel had those reel fucking low.

I am because you told me to

Already told you fool, there is too much to just start a post about.

To me if you can make 300 big posts about something you can make one really long post about something to me.
I'm testing the stuff from the other thread.
Travis' strategy was +$80M for a $2M deduction from budget after winning 31 games. This team I've poached is much better than the ones they started with but I think that's aroundthe same number of wins they had. Not bad, but I didn't sign any IFA. Going to drop $10M on that this offseason.

You want me to run down why signing a $50M contract as an expansion team in OOTP15 is a good move again?

I never even look at the accounting screen.
I know nothing about the budget/math/numbers/money situation in the WBL. I just play baseball.

You dont need to know anything, it's just win or get fucked for us
game crashed making baseball cards. Was projected to hit $90M anyway but it was falling throughout the year so I'm not sure if it would have stayed there. Fan interest was plummeting. Definitely better to not sign a Rat on 16 as long as you can get set up like Schauwn has in 3 years though. Since we most likely won't expand anymore I doubt it will ever come up again. I think if you stayed bad for 4 years you'd be down around $80M-$85M which would give you $40M-$50M to throw at FA every year. Good to know.
Are you saying I win or lose the hypothetical simulation?
On 16 if you can get it done in under 3 years you win. If you cant ur fucked. Most people doing the 20M payroll that way would go all out on IFA though, I'd have to run another year but that would most likely drop you into the 90s that second year and start a sharp tumble down the mountain.
Only way to really stop that is to sign every cheap popular guy you can and hope to keep revenue up enough. Both can work still, but i prefer your way on 16 because of the budget leaps that are possible.
Let's be clear though, this really only applies to fucked expansion teams. Most established teams would never find themselves in that sort of position unless it's intentional

I forgot I'm the one who put the floor in budgets
Your way is defnitely the way to go now, still wasn't in OOTP15 I don't think. Every team makes $55M+ automatically, $30M is automatic for national media, $20Mish average for local media and then merchandising adds what it adds. Schauwn will make at least $57M automatically from here on out and it should keep going up a little bit each year until it peaks.
The only thing you're really wrong about is schauwn's future budget during Rat's reign of terror. He could very easily make it to $130M if he wanted to, but I don't think he should.
$57M from media/merch already this year. $27M already for season tickets. That's $84M. Projected at $22M for regular tickets, $106M at least. If he wins a bit, he's going to sell more tickets. So at Schauwn's worst (last year) he's making $91M. This year he's projected at $106M. So from here on out he's going to just be breaking even as long as he wins 30 games.
Every 1,000 fans he gets to come is $2M a year in revenue if he keeps his prices at $25. If he starts winning 50+ games a year he gon be bringing in 30k+ fans. That's an extra $12M in revenue without raising prices. I'm just telling you if he doesn't spend he's going to be around $125M in budget.
I think he should spend what he can on IFA and say fuck his budget though, he's going to jump a ridiculous amount after Rat anyway. There are a lot of ways he could play this honestly, and the best financially is to hold all of his prospects down for another year at least. Ideally he'd want their last minimum year to be the year after Rat is gone so that he gets that year of $20M payroll while winning a ton. Buy out their arb that year so the contracts kick in in 2053.

THANK YOU Dermott McHeshi
Minor gripe... I'm set to make $500k by projections. This doesn't include playoff revenue (even if I lose in the first round, that's $5m). I also think it's still a little conservative on my gate receipts/merch too. Plus I have $10m in the bank.
I understand it might be impossible for the computer to adjust on the fly during the season, but I'd like in situations like this I was able to exceed my budget by a couple million.
