IIRC you have to be in commissioner mode and select "Edit Finances" to go to the option to change it, but yeah, any time I think.

I'm pretty sure the owner does it, I've never seen an option to change it and I have seen it change for my team without me doing it.

I believe this version the owner manages team focus, where in previous versions the GM/Coach did.

Otherwise I agree, I wish there was a way to let the owner or AGM control ticket prices without handing over full financial control. |

However, I hesitate greatly to go down the path of introducing interactions into the game. I've played football manager for years and it's just so hard to make it interesting without just turning into pure tedium, and 'knowing the right answer' to any interaction. It would be alot better if you could get better feedback about what ticket price you're setting. My budget projections don't change when I change the ticket price, but in real life, I'm sure teams have a pretty good idea about how elastic their product really is. So I'd like a lot more feedback on ticket prices. |

So what exactly does it mean when my focus as become "Build a Dynasty?"
Is that three consecutive WS wins? What is it? |

14market siz, if that matters, and 54k stadium can clear 200M in revenue. that's with a draft pick trading league, i bet with fewer wins it's still 180+. the AI might get to 110/120M. you could pay ~2 extra world class baseball players per year, if you control it. if you got a "winning" team, test out max price you can get on fri/sat every 10-20wins or so. if you're .500, don't bother. go beyond a minor dip in attendance. keep upping it to make sure it doesnt spring back up - i've seen it where you go $2 dollars up and it loses attendance, but +5-7 and it jumps back up to ~95% filled (i shoot for 51-53k out of 54.2k). during the weekdays you can either let it ride or drop it down - easy to calculate if it's worth your while. do the math and price it where it makes you the most money. you can even make a simple graph to show a break even analysis. As far as the focus... i think that's mostly internal... what offers are made to you, maybe the goals from the owner (?not used here), etc... if an ai gm, it probably changes certain behaviours too in addition to how it values things in trades/signings... maybe more interested in long-term deals with kids, then going all out in FA with no care for next year (win now). a slightly longer-term approach compared to win-now.

I keep setting my team focus to build a dynasty and the AI just switches it right back to neutral. How can I prevent the AI from doing this?

At the annual new year roll-over, the game always resets my team to 'neutral'. I have to remember to change it back to 'rebuilding' so teams will offer me young players instead of old duds. You do have to remember to reset this every year, something OOTP has always done. I have never found a work around.
