Adjusting Market Sizes

PSUColonel · 03-03-2017, 02:43 PM

I am looking to make changes to make the media contract effects immediate. I forget the math involved in doing this once I've changed the market sizes. If anyone has the formula it would be greatly helpful.

Thanks

edit: what i do differently from default that you may need to account for: entire revenue is available and Not controlled by owner. no ticket revenue sharing... i've used revenue sharing in many ways before, and i don't foresee that being an issue...

e.g. if oyu let owner control available revenue for the budget, try turnign off and hitting refresh for financial estimates... if it doesn't change, you'll just have to guess how much that reduces available income for player salaries -> adjust the 160-180M range up for owners being miserly, if you use that setting. (for modern feel, otherwise adjust your target range in the same way)

this isn't perfect but easy: if you reduce somewhere, make an equal increas elsewhere - even if alotted among multiple teams.

better way: keep track of the changing local contract amounts. if oyu reduce 10M from one team, you should add ~10M to other team(s). * use Accounting to see the media revenue change in future as you change market size - make it a 1 year contract, so that it can be seen.

generally if you add up all the market sizes and it averages to 5-6 it should be fine - assuming no extremely unusual distribution of markets.

other way to check - financials gives estimates for financials... hit refresh after changing anything. Average total revenue is what you should key-in on, here. the other stuff has other forces attached - like supply/demand in FA.

160-180M average total revenue will maintain a modern financial environment if your highest player ever makes more than 30-40M something is probably odd -- like 1+ team with a 20 market size and no one else near that.

The further you deviate from a bell curve or at least a fat middle-of-the-pack, the odder the results can be year-to-year. the supply/demand forces will swing drastically year to year - most likely.
