Media Revenue Issue/Suggestion

redbird2 · 03-12-2017, 12:45 PM

Hi,

I may be asking this in the wrong forum, and I do apologize if I have done so. But I am trying to figure out a Media Revenue issue for my league NBL or www.ootpnbl.com

I replaced an AI controlled team for Indiana, and for the last year of real time, but 4 and 1/3 seasons in game time, I have been to the playoffs every year, and the last 4 full seasons, and went to 3 of 4 of the Championship Series, and won it once. My media revenue has gone down with this type of performance from my team. I have kept my fan interest between 96-99 during these years, and I started on OOTP16 for most of the season until this current one we finished 2024.

The league agreed to up the national media money contract since our Executive Committee saw that it went up when we decided to switch to OOTP17. Now at the start of the 2024 season, everyone got the huge boost, but as we are now in the off season of 2024-2025 seasons, my projection is expected to go down. This is probably the media boost leveling off, but here is the odd part to me. With my team's performance, even in OOTP16, I was 3rd from last in a 24 team league. I am seen as a small market, but with at least 1 Championship win, and I went to 2 other Championship series (one the year after I won, and this past year), shouldn't I at least get a small bump or stay stable in media revenue? This to me just doesn't make much sense.

Now I know I have no clue what the settings are since I am not the creator of the league, I don't have any experience in that, nor am I part of the 3 member Executive Committee, but I have been in talks with them about this, and I got about the same answer as I got when I asked this in an OOTP17 forum question. Is there anything that makes this a software issue? Could this be a programming error, or miscalculation that does not take a teams continued performance over time into it's media revenue? Because I don't know a single team in the MLB that loses media revenue money year after year when they go to the World Series in of the last 4 years and win it once. I am not trying to get the big market size level of money, but there is no way I can believe I should consistently lose media revenue money other than the media revenue boost, and even then I am only 4th from last when that happened. There are teams that have never been to the playoffs much less even been to a championship series once.

I appreciate any help you can give me on this matter, since I really enjoy playing OOTP, and am a major MLB enthusiast. But I just prefer things to make logical sense, and to me this makes none. I know I am rather new to all of this, so I felt this was my best option to get a better understanding of how this could happen, and any possible ways to remedy it without causing chaos to a league that is a great league.
