    GM Goals Question

    Do you automatically get fired as GM if you don't complete your yearly goal in year 1?

      You have a 3 year contract and I've never seen anyone get fired before the 3 years is up. You basically need to reach the contract goal or you will be fired. The yearly ones don't really matter.

          Has anyone finished the 3 year contract yet? I'm playing as the Blue Jays and they want a World Series by year 3. With the age of my best hitters I think year 1 (with added pitching help) is my only real shot and then I want to tear it down and rebuild. Question is if I win the series in year 1 then miss the playoffs in year 3 will they recognize that I already met the 3 year goal or will I be fired?

          Seems silly to put Win World Series as a 3 year goal or you'll be fired, so many things can happen that are out of the GMs control ie injuries to key players.

            If you meet the contract goal at any point during the contract you will get credit for it. I think the goals are too much though. If you start a Phillies franchise with real contracts, your contract goal is to win the division series by end of year 3. With the roster the Phillies have, not losing 100 games in a season would be a more realistic goal than that.

            The goals seem to be focused on budget size which is true to a certain extent but they should be proportionally based on not only budget but also age of team (average age of 25-man roster), skill level (average rating of 40 man roster), and farm system (average potential of all players not on the 40 man). That way your goals would be more realistic to your your current team position. Since I can assure you no one in Philly is thinking the Phils will be back in the post season until Mike Trout signs with us in 6 years.

              I wish you could turn them off. I know there's a 30-team control workaround but that is no help to imported franchises.

                You can turn them off.

                  Not if you carry a save over from 14.

                    thanks for your response, however I don't think it's solely based on budget size. I did a little tinkering to see if you could glitch it ala Fifa, I moved players to Free agency and started over and it reduced my expectations.

                    I guess the only work around would be 30 team control put your players in free agency and then resign them to their original contracts, or to just turn it off. Getting fired is a pretty cool feature but when half the teams goals are win the world series or be fired it's clearly not implemented properly. You can be an excellent GM and never win a World Series....
