You get into the challenge, with dynamic pricing, of having to work in additional calculations. If you get too dynamic, you have a lot more algorithms that become needed to work out the portions for each team based playing. Then do you play into those that want to have season ticket prices and tiered prices, and have the system calculate all of the results based on total ticket value for two different priced teams (say a base $27 plays a base $52 team).
That just increases the chance of errors and bugs in the financial system. I think working off of an "average" works in the overall statistical model of this type of game.
There is a good median for the whole thing. I know you consider the team rebuilding, but I have really messed around with prices in one league, and found that in OOTP, pricing doesn't seem to affect fan base attendance like that. I modified a team from $20 to $75 ticket price, and attendance had more to do with their performance and fan base than ticket price in this game.
