Team Market Size Question

BigLou · 06-11-2022, 07:22 PM

I am in a historical sim. Does market size change as it did in real life or does it change based on how well the team does over time, or other factors? Is there even a way to grow market size?

For example - I'm the Expos. In 1983 my market size shrunk from "Below Average" to "Small" despite being .500 the past two years.

Any guidance on how to grow it moving forward?

Thanks!

Market Size will not change at it did in real life... you will get different results each play through. I ran tests back in OOTP21 and indications were
1 - It is relatively random
2- Increases decreased to almost downright rare as the a historical league neared 2000.

For number 2, I don't know if it was related to the historical year or due to the average Market Size... I was mostly trying to determine if increases were based on success. Also, there is a storyline for Winning the World Series that "should" increase it... but it was broken at the time and not occurring. I say broken because I could see it in the storyline list... but never saw it when winning a world series at the time.
