Local Media Contracts

ederemer · 02-04-2017, 04:22 PM

Has anyone ever edited local media contracts for each team to reflect reality? I'm wondering what effect this may cause as I sim further into the future. I would be using this as my source:

It would mean everybody in your game would hate the Yankees.

did they just resign their tv deal? i thought LA had the latest and greatest tv deal? these things typically go in 5-10 year windows of it being a decided boon, and then due to lenght of tv deal they 'suffer' slightly the last 5-10 years of the tv deal (relative term... suffer... was LA suffering before the most recent deal?)

that remains true as long as the MLB trends grows at a steady and healthy rate. that cannot last forever, of course.

you'll see significantly higher salaries than you do in real life, if you set up the income the same way - even with cap penalties, but maybe you coud rig something up. i think that's why they dial it back a bit on the defaults. the want the salaries and contracts to be recognizeable as - in non-fiction modern or historical leagues.

10: Los Angeles (N)

9: Boston, Chicago (N)

8: Philadelphia, San Francisco

7: Los Angeles (A), New York (N), Texas, Washington

6: Atlanta, Chicago (A), Detroit, Houston, Seattle, St. Louis, Toronto

5: Arizona, Colorado, Minnesota

4: Baltimore, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, San Diego

3: Cleveland, Kansas City, Miami, Milwaukee, Oakland, Tampa Bay

This is my edits...I think they are fairly decent in representing both market sizes, and how teams actually behave. It is a fusion between the two. If you disagree please let me know.

Also...the finances seem to work well with these settings. Teams's avg profit is 30, 100,000

These settings are based on Forbes "Most Valuable Franchises" list...and the very Fangraphs article you listed above.
