Can you no longer set ticket prices, advertising, etc. in franchise mode?

I just used it to manipulate attendance mostly. Fans are way too easy on teams in this game. After the initial rush of sellouts and big crowds for the first few home games, if you're below .500 your stadium should be half-empty at best. Five games or more below .500, bang, right away the place should look 15 or 20% full. I had awful starts where I'd come out of gate 5-12 and the like and would still be bringing in crowds that looked like the place was 85% full. That's ridiculous. I've seen Yankee games where they had a winning record and the place was more than half-empty. Detroit draws but they don't draw like that.

So I upped the price to where I was drawing more in line with what I wanted.

Anyway, now that it's gone (I was just looking for this option today in fact), I'm back to having crowds be kinda sorta too big lol, but it's okay. I played Minnesota and the place was like totally empty three games in a row, very cool, just wish I could get some of those at my place. :P

Man, I wish I could get Kauffman full in the regular season. Only time I can get it anywhere close to 30k out of 40k is when a team like Detroit or the Yankees come to town on a weekend. It's realistic though since Kauffman rarely fills up, but even when my teams are good I can't get that place full.

I just miss being able to easily track attendance. It is small but it adds so much to my franchise. I know each game I can check in the pause menu for attendance but I miss being able to track it through the year. I like charts and graphs
