Financial Question

At the start of my 2019 save, I had my financial situation in order....Avg team revenue right around 190 million....avg team profit, right around 4 million.

Now in September of that save...(I go along day to day with actual MLB). the avg team revenue is 198 million, and the profits around 12 million.


As you can guess, this is causing salaries to sky rocket. Any idea what is going on here?

I was able to get things back in line by reducing local and national media contracts 4 mil each....but I don't want to have to keep checking and editing this....surely there is a way to prevent this from happening?

Yearly Inflation?

there's a couple drop down options in the Financial's tab under League Settings called Yearly Inflation. Are those both set to 0%?

No..I. Have the inflation set to 0-2%. But this is a standard MLB setup, and the year hasn’t even ended....Anthony Rendon signed backs with the nationals for about 40 million, and like I said all of the financial numbers seem to be out of wack considering it’s still 2019 in game time.

well, I guess this is NOT happening to others, so I don't know what to do..as I said, I lowered the media revenues to bring things back in line....but too many players contracts have been negotiated in the process. Looks like I have to start a new league with no guarantee this won't happen again.

OOTP is a good game, but these types of things really irk me, and I really don't want to have to keep checking to make sure the financial system is stable.

The OOTP financial model is not a good one IMO. This is where FOF and FM get it right.

Player's demands lower as the off-season goes on, and sometimes players don't want to stay in one team, so they say if u want me to be here, pay a ransoms money.

But the financials changed on their own....to the point where I had it setup so that avg team revenue was right around 190 million and avg profit just over 4 million...towards the end of the season the avg revenue morphed to 190 million and avg profit was suddenly 12 million.

Why would it change so drastically? This has nothing to due with inflation since that doesn’t kick in until the following season.

things shift a bit, it's totally normal... plus you have inflation on.

so, a market size has a range of resulting income based on fan interest and such, so it will ebb and flow based on the general trends of all 30 teams combined.

there is a min and max it can possible shift without inflation.

how/where it shift can depend on initial state of finances in the league. e.g. the difference of calculating the average income when all interest/loyalty/etc is 50/100 vs some mish mash of a more realistic nature will be different.
