Ok, here is my question. If you are allowing the AI to update financials every year, does it just randomly assign Market size and fan loyalty when it updates?

I just spent a bunch of time editing ML teams and owners to set teams closer to RL values. I put the Yankees for example at 12 market size, 10 fan loyalty with generous but demanding owner. Sim to next year (after the Yankees went to the playoffs in the first year btw, with the second best record in baseball), they now have a 5 market size, a 6 loyalty and are 20th in budget. WTH? Every team's market and loyalty are totally different from where it started, and doesn't even fit the last seasons result. I understand fan interest being flexible, but those two factors shouldn't be making huge jumps.
