I wonder if those values are overinflating the success of those teams with a large plus like New York and Boston. Especially if the Yankees +400 is based on the entire New York market. I think these values hold the key to protray market size and resources correctly to make sure the Yankees are not always the biggest resource team.

It's hard to tell if the balance issue is coming from the fan base numbers mentioned above or the regional population numbers (or both), but in either case I think it could be resolved by adjusting either or both of those numbers. I suspect the fan base number will be the easier to balance, hopefully someone will test this out and see if they can get balanced results by modifying the fan base numbers.
