5-0 record wasn't all it was cracked up to be, as we had 3 guys get hurt on Opening Day, including Bri Bry, who pitched only 1.2 innings before getting hurt.

Welcome to Sheltown, Bri Bry!!!

In NDL OOTP not so newsworthy news, Joseph Arredondo and Manuel Pena suffer injuries in the opening week

Shel can be a debbie downer with a 5-0 sim with a Boston sweep. What a negative OOTPer

Really like this announcing you will retire thing

You say that like we don't know how this will end.

Cedar Rapids wins their first game! Then blows four. But still. We were undefeated at one point!

This comment applies to you as well.

Congrats new guys!!

juicing it up to $40 for this season.

I just had to set my ticket prices under $12. My loyalty and interest are in the blue, I have no idea why it has to be this low to maximize gate revenue.

I'd guess that's the lowest ticket prices in the league.

What does "projected budget" influence within a season?

Money available for extensions/free agents.

So, anyone that starts out with a mediocre April record and, as a result, bad attendance - sucks to be them? If they catch fire in May do they petition to have their projected budget updated again that month when their projected revenue rises?

No, I will only do it once at the end of April. This is to give guys a few sims to find the ticket prices they want as you can't edit it until season starts. I am only doing this because of the financial issues that 19 presented and the way they changed the budget.

The hot month theory is not that relevant also as a hot month will not change your fan interest that much so your revenue will be pretty much the same.

It's really odd that somehow our league seemingly often breaks this game that has been coming out every year for... 20 years?

Maybe they should use our league to understand all the things they're doing wrong so we don't need so many work arounds...

I made $185million last year, won a title, and now my budget will be cut by $30 million

Makes sense. (not aimed at Billy )

I talked to 5-6 other commissioners in leagues that are further than ours and they all had these issues come up as well. I think it just happens eventually as leagues keep going and allowing owners to get in such financial messes. I am not knocking anyone as I have been there before as well.

I chose April because I want everything to be as if it never broke. In previous versions the projected budget would be right, I am giving everyone 3-4 sims so they have plenty of chances to do it because once I change them I am not going in to change them again.

Just so everyone understand playoff revenue never counted towards your budget, it was regular season. I have no intentions of changing that. Our budget system worked, it was fine. The game just got out of whack, the manual changes I make will not be a change to our system

Guys manage their teams, their finances, win championships get punished for doing so.

Guys go -$100mil in debt but lets worry about making sure they dont ruin the league versus rewarding the others that actually ya know....play the game the right way.

My budget should be over $200mil based on our success. Not being docked $30mil into $150.

Rant over, see ya in October.

Projected revenue assumes some final value for merchandising revenue?
