I'm starting to run some experiments and figured I would begin sharing the results on this thread since I'm using this market-size method to determine my financials.
The major difference here is that I will be applying the market size and cash adjustments after having simmed for 25 years, nuking the history, and sending all players to the FA pool. My biggest question at the outset is what numbers I have to change and which will automatically adjust.
For example, Atlanta had been assigned a market size of 2 out of 20 by the game. I am changing it, somewhat arbitrarily, to 16 out of 20. I've determined the payroll-$ per point of market size and the corresponding draft budget (see below)
So, first question is where is the best place to put that $94M so that it's available for the fantasy draft? My best guess is in the Budget line. But do I need to include revenue from media, tickets and merchandise in that number as well? This leads to my second question:
Do I have to update all of the above fields as well? Cash? Media Revenue? If Media Revenue needs to be manually updated, is the same per-point system adequate?
I'm hoping to answer these for myself through trial and error, but if anyone has any thoughts, please share.
