Unfortunately, I believe it took away realism:
1) The amount of change for signing/releasing a player was WAY too much
2) If you're going to do this, then the Visiting team's players must also draw in fans. Very rarely, a player will come along that EVERYONE wants to go see (Babe Ruth, Mark Fidrych, Fernando Valenzuela, etc.) whether on the road or at home...For instance: I live in Lexington, KY, home to the Houston Astros Sally league affiliate. Roger Clemens pitched his first rehab start here and sold out the stadium. If this game had happened on the road for the Legends, wherever it was would have sold out.
3) When doing expansion drafts, I would release players and redraft them, thus causing all the fans too become angry....
4) 99.9% of a teams attendance fluctuations can be attributed to winning and losing....The spike in attendance for everyone wanting to see the new player wears off very quickly and virtually NO ONE quits going to games because Joe Schmoe was traded...
5) I think we need a model for finances in a baseball sim. But for that model to be realistic, it does not have to be all-inclusive...
