I just don't really get why people would want to see complex financials in a baseball sim. Ticket pricing? Concessions? Marketing? Blech. If I wanted to mess around with those things in my spare time, I'd get a second job!

I would be happy with a 2 dimensional model (market size and fan interest based on record) generating one revenue figure. Maybe have one other factor in there which was fixed (media contract?) so people could make adjustments when they wanted.
Agreed. There's a point where the dynamics of the details overshadow the game. Then again, as long as I can turn off what I want, I'm not bothered that the options are there.
