Team Ownership

TheNutz72 · 09-15-2004, 06:45 PM

OOTP 5 added a Manager Mode. Can this mode be modified to accumulate these earnings? I would like to ba able to move from Manager to Owner by using these earnings to buy a team.

I think the game could be spiced up with a money mode - less about winning and more about dying with the most cash. People can start as a coach, earn enough to buy a crappy team - a real (fake) Cinderalla Story. The owner mode would be great if teams could move cities and if new stadiums could be built on credit.

Allowing owners to go in debt to build parks would add some spice - chancing defaults and forcing team sales! Building new stadiums could be easy. No graphics or stadium editors needed. Just allow an owner to define # of seats, location (rich, metropolitan, etc. - this adds to cost but helps define attendence and loyalty & market size), and whether the park should favor HR's, 2b's, 3B's, foul outs, etc.

Think about it

You'd never be able to save up enough as a Manager to buy a team.

What I'd like is the ability to hire and fire managers who have unique skill sets and unique preferences. I'd also like to have AI owners that can be customized to have particular goals, as has been described in plenty of other threads.
