TV Revenue

Madhatter · 11-20-2004, 03:28 AM

I don't know how to figure out how much each team in my league should be making in TV revenue. I thought the deals would be set up automatically but they weren't is there any formula i can use?

I'm assuming you mean that in the Front Office the numbers for local and national TV contracts are blank? That happened to me once when I created a custom league, but it wasn't all teams. I'm not sure what caused it. The computer assigns those numbers to each team, so there is no default figure. What I would do would be to set each around $20 million (Ive seen them range that low and a lot higher) but $20 million is a good starting point. Then have the contracts expire at the end of the year you are currently in. After the season ends, the computer will sign new contracts depending on the market size.

Hope this helps.

For TV revenue, how do you know if you have made any money? I am still new to this sim.

Thanks.

The thing is the contracts ran out and the cpu never gave us new ones..

Very odd

Blame reality television...difficult for any quality programming to get television contracts.

Err...I've never seen that happen before. That's a question for Markus. Maybe post it in the bugs section?

If you setup your own TV contracts, note that they expire at the beginning of the year listed, not at the end of the year like player and coach contracts. So if you're about to start 1980 and want to set a 1-year TV contract, you have to have it expire in 1981, not 1980. (If you set it to expire in 1980 when you're already in 1980, they just never expire, I think. This might be what happened with whatever roster set you used initially.)

Maximus,

your picture never fails to frighten me just a little when it pops up on my screen. LOL

I'm in his league and I'm the Yankees and this really affects me. You see since the computer didn't generate new TV contracts we assume it's a glitch of some sort. It seems it is anyways since most of you have no seen something like this happen. Anyways here's the problem, as the Yankees my team did very well. In fact check this out, last season my team led MLB with a new W-L record at 117-45. This year I broke my own record with 124-38 W-L. Not only that I turned in alot of profits and my team is obviously in a huge market. I have not won the World Series yet (We're in the playoffs right now) but if the contracts are done manually I don't want to lose any money. The way I see it I should be making more money in my new TV contract since I've been so succesful over a couple of seasons. The question is what formula could we use that would allow the commissioner of this league to create TV contracts manually.

My local deal $97.5M and national deal is $25M and I refuse to take a cut. I mean I'm obviously winning and putting butts in the seats. I had close to 700,000 more fans in attendance then last year. Big jump. Don't mind my payroll. I had nothing to do with that. I was out for a while and it was being runned by the CPU and it accepted all these crazy deals. Anyways if someone can please think of a formula that could suit us or if there is one that would make common sense then let us know.
