Updated File and Pages to account for some gripes and updated financial settings regarding merchandising revenue and TV deals. I reset each team's merchandising revenue as it relates to each team's market size from Small ($5M) to Big ($10M). Teams like the Dodgers and Yankees saw their merchandising revenue drop by nearly $7M collectively while everyone else more or less stayed where they were. I also set the maximum local tv deal to $12M and maximum national tv deal to $18M for now.
From this point forward, those ratings will be subject to the AI and your team's performance. However, I have updated the Constitution to require minimum and maximum settings/ratings, as follows:
Each team's front office settings will have a fixed Market Size per Commissioner's determination of TV Market Sizes. Additionally, the Commissioner will correct the following setting/ratings each season:
- Fan Loyalty: Minimum setting of "Poor"
- Fan Interest: Minimum rating of "25"
- Local TV Deal: Minimum of $10M and a maximum of $15M
- National TV Deal: Minimum of $10M and a maximum of $25M
- Merchandising Revenue: Minimum of $5M and a maximum of $20M
- As noted in the OOTP5 League Settings, there is a in-game cash cap of $50M
- Teams may profit no more than $20M in any given season. Playoff revenues do not count towards the $20M cap. Excess profit is lost.
My hope is that the maximum a team can earn in a given season is about $100M. I would like to avoid the $120's we saw in GABL in order to generate more parity. Of course, this is subject to change for the betterment of the league.
This weekend I will set up manager names, team passwords, FTP/export access and hopefully set up an Opening Sim date!
You may still gripe should you wish, but the final deadline is at the end of next weekend.
