I've been looking into the finances; and I don't think OOTP will handle the proper wages as it is.

I put them in, and the Yankee's payroll came in at about $160m.

The revenues the game generates won't come near this; the game is way off in terms of local tv revenue, merchandising etc The gate money for the Yankees is about $98m IRL but $30m-odd in the game for example.

I'm going to work out how to get real salaries to work by adjusting the local TV deals to take into account these revenues, other local revenues and the higher gate receipts from real life.

I've got all the figures from 2001, just need to go through them and work out how exactly I'm going to do it.
