I have been starting my NY Mets replay with the 1962 season. I have been playing as the GM/Manager without an amateur daft until 1965. No matter how austere my approach, I always finish in the red. I have tried cutting or trading players to reduce salary. I have played with and without scouting/foreign player draft. I have even modified the salaries, in the game settings menu.

I have noticed the salaries in the game settings>league settings>financials>team expenses and salary settings are much higher than in real life. The minimum salary in 1962 game is $11,800. In real-life the minimum was $5000-6000. The for the 1963 season, the computer will raise some players salaries by over 50%. I have tried to change the settings. Team still ends up in the red. I've even tried to let the computer assign fictional contracts to coaches and players, as well as the league. I have also tried to cut the development expenses to $0 No luck.

Is there any way to make the financials more accurate the financials to make them more accurate for 1962? I am trying to see if the Mets saved money and began spending in 1965, would this help their ability to win.

Any help wouild be appreciated.
