Fix Owner Goals

"You have won 3 straight World Series Titles, but I'm very disappointed that you did not re-sign Josh Donaldson to an eight-year $250 million contract. Did you not listen to my demands? Overall I am unhappy with your performance." |
" I know we are an expansion franchise but I expect you to make the World Series in two years."
"I am disappointed in your loyalty to the current manager (whose won a pennant and has a good overall record) especially since I asked you before the season to upgrade there." "Where's my power hitter? Where's my power hitter? Where's my power hitter?" All the above are actual owner goals/demands made of me when I served as GM of a team. |
Maybe we can get a way to negotiate with the owner regarding goals?
Or perhaps the owner has a list of goals and we have to choose a certain number of them based on difficulty/owner personality. Maybe each goal is worth a certain number of points and we have to choose goals until we hit the owner's point demand value. Such a system would still probably force us to address certain aspects of the team, but allow us to choose the path forward. |

Really need to revamp this system. This was last year's game, but I remember having 8 team leaders on the squad and my owner gave me a goal to "add more leadership". Like...what, does the whole 25 man roster need to be a captain? It's funny because I believe you could have too much leadership in the old games. The "too many chefs in the kitchen" type thing. I turned the goals off at that point. I'm in an online league so still have to deal with it and it's very much like what the others have mentioned. |
I started turning off owner goals after a game where I had won 4 WS in a row and my owner gave me, "Did you not hear me?" speech about wanting a power hitter. I had 2 40HR guys on the team, and just found myself very badly wishing for the option to issue a reply email with a short and pithy suggestion for his leisure time activity...
Hey...can we get an option like that? |
This kind of thing is why my owners often meet with nasty...accidents.
You know, like 37 stab wounds. That kind of accident. :laugh: |
before i turned off owners goals, if they got insane on me - i just wrote a news article that had them involved in a robbery that went bad and after the funeral, the heirs just sold the team and i created a new guy more to my team needs .... (this OOTP game is, after all, an alternate reality - isn't it?
