How do franchise budgets work this year?

Re: How do franchise budgets work this year?

So I've reached the year 2070 in offline mode. I've won 32 World Series, won all but 3 division titles, several MVP's and Cy Youngs. My budget for my team HAS GONE DOWN by 10 million dollars. I'm done buying these games until they figure out how to fix this game. I bought stubs as an experiment and purchased the 20 million franchise increase. It worked for a season and then, poof, it was gone. My budget back to normal.

So how in blazes am I making 17.04 million a week without ever purchasing anything more than the standard copies of the game? Have yet to spend any stubbs this year.

This move ticked me off. I had over $700M in avail funds in 16. I carried it over and all my money is gone... I bought most of that yes I did... but I would do it again to see if it is the way for us franchise types to have to buy even more stubs than ever before.

seeing how they have nerfed the stubs in the franchise when you play a game no matter what level you play on.

I just got into my franchise my franchise bank is 37.07M. my cash flow for a week is $15.48M. So I am presuming that part of my overall stuff from year one of my franchise.

So I'm thinking that this is the next cash cow for SDS. Which for me is no big deal I will buy MILLIONS of dollars in franchise funds to make sure I can sustain this franchise for years to come? I will get it back to almost a billion dollars before I get through his season.

$20 a week isn't too much to ask for making this team of mine into a financial powerhouse that will live forever...

I have no clue, but you are one lucky son of a gun.

Re: How do franchise budgets work this year?

Maybe there's an easy answer to this, but after purchasing additional budget with stubs, when do you actually get to use it? I generally don't do it but used the gift of 10,000 stubs that we all received to purchase some and it's just sitting in my bank not doing anything for me. My projected cashflow still stays the same and the budget just sits there. Sim all the way through the offseason and I still have a negative cashflow and the extra money is still just sitting there. Did I wait too long to buy it and have to wait a whole season to actually use it?

In the past you knew exactly what the budget was. You may have started with 150 million budget and used 140. In the off-season you were increased or decreased and knew the budget amount.

I can not for the life of me see what my budget is. I can see what I have spent, but not what I can spend.

The In season cash flow vs expense always has a positive. If that is based on weekly for 26 weeks then every team has 26 million plus to spend. Since I am in 2021 and see every team with a million plus revenue stream.

How do this affect free agency in future years? Are small market teams able to snatch up elite tier free agents in the future? Im guessing salaries don't scale up with budget increases?

Re: How do franchise budgets work this year?

It might be better than The Show '16 but Budget still seems to grow somewhat arbitrarily for the under-performing teams.

Braves budget increased by more than 10% after a 65 win season. Of course this is possible but if it happens every year then after a few seasons there is a lot of cash floating around.

But the big market teams will still have more power. I tried to sign Harper and Machado with the Braves and they signed elsewhere, even though I had the budget to make a good offer.

What about in future years? Do all of the team budgets keep increasing while player salaries continue to stagnate? Are small market teams eventually able to sign big ticket free agents?

I was only simming and it was a while ago so I can't really say as I didn't record any numbers. My Guess is that yes, some small market teams will end up with too much money.

There are a few people on this forum who are already into 2018 in their franchises... Maybe someone has some info?

Re: How do franchise budgets work this year?

I think people have said this already, but I don't think I've seen any solutions. When I accepted my contract to be the GM of the Dodgers they said my budget would be around $235m, 3 years and a WS ring later, it has decreased to $175m.. How do I stop this?

Are you playing with the OSFM rosters with edited contracts? Or are you using the rosters with the default contracts

Re: How do franchise budgets work this year?

My only concern is whether or not big-name free agents sit in free agency in franchise. I run 30-team control so I'm hoping I can fix it if they do.

I haven't seen any "big" free agents sit 8 years in the future using default contracts.

Re: How do franchise budgets work this year?

Can someone explain to me how I am in the black with cash flow and have $130MM of cash in the bank, yet when I try to sign coaches or players it tells me that I have insufficient funds? It doesn't make sense to me. I thought baseball didn't have a salary cap. My only "big" moves are signing Miguel Sanó to a 7yr/$130MM deal and Byron Buxton to a 5yr/$70MM deal. I think my total payroll is sitting around $125MM.

What is the date? Do you have arb hearings scheduled?

And how did you get £130mil in the bank?!?
