First chance to break the seal on '24 tonight and just having a look around.
And it appears that revenue sharing at 48% "shared percentage of income" is the new MLB default in a Standard Game.
Not sure where to begin with the questons but "Why?" seems like a good place to start, since revenue sharing does not exist IRL but now the financials have been tinkered with to include it as a default in this "realistic sim". Which leads to a question about "How?" badly the financials will get messed up if we do away with this non-existent (IRL) leftist re-distribution of income.
Next is "What?" exactly does this mean. Does it mean that 48% of every team's income goes into a pot and is re-distributed evenly or how exactly does it work?
I mean, if that is the case, then the financials will bare no resemblance to RL if left unchanged, and, yet, will probably get messed up if this is the new norm and I turn it off.
Anyway, what is it? How does it work? Who decided this was realistic or an improvement over RL? If these questions have already been asked or answered in another thread, I apologize and please direct me there.
Thanks/
