Financials Question

Mister_G · 04-15-2013, 04:33 PM

I have noticed in the MLB QS, both this year and last year that I don't seem to see contracts similar to the ones that A-Rod, CC, Verlander, etc. got. Also, I always seem to have problems with teams not having much cash available for trades and such.

Has anyone adjusted the league financials in any way, from average contracts, to media contracts, gate share, cash max, tax, soft cap, etc.?

I haven't tried it yet, but maybe raising max cash, while also raising things that would help profit could help.

I'm gonna mess with it a bit. Just wondering what everyone else thinks, especially considering the fact that I believe the MLB's national TV contract pays out something like $50 mil per team this year.

Keep in mind that teams in OOTP don't have all of the expenses that real life teams do, either.

True. Actually I was looking up some stuff online and it seems that the average profit in the Quick-Start is about right, mainly because of this.

The only issue is that large contracts don't seem to be as large as real life. In my game Cano got a 7 year $112,000,000 extension, which is much less than he would get. It is only a sample of 1 person, but if it continues high contracts might need to go higher.

Does a team ever start pumping money in like the Dodgers?
