all that being said i dont think owner controls budget changes contracts at all. there are plenty of other settings that change this inflation etc.
it is just owner controls budget is so bad cause all the owners act exactly the same way. they just reduce over all budget. even with the big team dodgers, yankees, phillies etc. teams that money aint aint an issue.
plus the financial model is so out dated because it doesnt involve these huge local tv contracts at all. or the possibility of getting it. that is what makes teams take the next financial level.
you will never get an owner that loves the team and spends more. i think in all the test i ran it happened with 1 owner like 1 time. so every owner reduces budget some a little bit which is meaningless to some 100s millions. and this never changes.
i remember the brewers owner was brutal. it killed the AI team. they could make the finals, sell out. max interest etc. the more the team makes the more the owner cuts out.
this should be replaced with like team philosophy or something. which would help who the AI tries and trades away or acquire. Their trading block. How aggressive etc.
I mean i am tired of seeing big market teams dodgers/yankees put their star closers/relivers on the trading block at deadline to reduced budget when they are the #1 teams. it should never happen not even 1 time. Once is too much.
To be honest I only played ootp 24 for about 3-4 weeks with 2 saves. The Marlins and I forget the first team. I only GM I dont ever play a game or view a game. Only sim games. It was just too easy. Smallest payroll and best team. With almost all my minor leagues in the finals. This is after 3-5 seasons and think I was top 10 in budget. Cause yeah if its in the game I going to do it. Which means max fan interest and max ticket prices.
I could never do a long term save my team would just be in the WS for 20 years straight.
It isnt about the game evaluating players or trades for players. Not about star ratings or attributes it is about finances.
A GM game is 80% finances. OOTP is just plain awful at it. I dont think it can ever improve because the devs focus in on the field baseball and not GM baseball.
The gm game is just filled with too many holes, bugs, exploits, wrong logic etc. IF you dont do it then it doesnt leave you with much else to do it in a 100% gm game.
Who wants to just sim and not control the organization? The moment you control an organization the game breaks as a gm. That is why i can only play like 7 years cause it is unplayable after that.
I dont want to manage the games. So what else is there. This is why i play ootp for like 3-4 weeks and put it on the shelf until next version,
