Early baseball Finances

Muh · 03-18-2003, 03:45 AM

I started a sim league (I am not playing at all, just simming the seasons, kind of recreating the history of baseball) from 1901 with finacials on to see what might have happened with free agency.

I have found that by 1910, most all of the teams are reporting losses of over $5 million. Nap Lajoie retired at age 34 and Ty Cobb can't find work (I guess the Union put some pressure on him to hold out

)

I have the teams max money set at $50 million. I tried adjusting the team markets and assigning AI contracts, but neither of theese seems to work.

Has anyone else come across this problem and, short of turning off Finances, what can I do to fix it?

There is currently no way to do this except turn the finances off, we are going to be adding in an update later in the year the ability to customize the finances more in this fashion(no release date or time frame for this update as of yet).

That option will help a lot. I'm eager to use it
