2007 League File

[Andrew]

Any way for you to do a test sim before we spend a lot of time working on our team only to have it all wiped out? I remember that happened last year when we did a patch and it sucked.

Yah I probably can tomorrow. I don't see any reason why it shouldn't work though.

One notable retirement was Mutsohito Kuramochi. The first player ever in the BLB finished with a disappointing 38-39 record and 4.14 ERA in his career.

Good riddance. I haven't looked yet but that prob has free'd up a butt load of money. Even in OOTP2006, I believe I had the largest budget.

I guess the HTML won't be updated using 2007 until Thursday?

I knew you were ignoring this post because you were working on it. Just knew it!

Thanks. This will come in handy at work this week.

That and I was writing a novel about draft pick compensation. :)

You'll notice you can see all of a player's ratings now. Keep in mind these are the SISA ratings and can be highly inaccurate.

Looking at those budgets, some teams may be scrambling to cut some salary this offseason.

Wow, I'm really liking the Minor League System Report.

Same here....I think it's a great addition.

The financials are a joke. We lead the league in attendance, sell out every game, three straight BLB championship appearances.....

...and yet we do 5.5 mil in Media revenue? Dead Last :roll:

People can't wait to get go see the games, but if we sell out they figure they'd rather take a nice walk than watch on TV. And while taking that walk nobody want to buy a Playboys jersey to wear on said walk, being that we're dead last in merchandising revenue as well.

Yep, teams that lose 100+ games double our merchandising revenue.

The financials are crap, plain and simple.

Sounds like you guys are the South Side team in Chicago.

I agree that it sucks right now, but I think it will balance out over time. The teams who were blessed with good young cheap talent have small markets while the teams that got the high priced older guys have larger markets.

Unfortunately that's just the way the inaugural draft has to work.

Do the Royals sell more jerseys than the Atlanta Braves? Do they have a better TV deal?

[Sully]

Andrew, what exactly is the hidden player option? I know it was disabled when creating the league, is it possible to enable it when switching to 2007?
