Budget vs. No budget

Re: Budget vs. No budget

For those of you playing with budgets off, do you all micro manage budget limits for CPU teams to keep them in check? Like breaking them up into major market/mid market/low market teams and assign value based on that?

I don't. I've found that most teams stick to their budgets anyway, but it's natural to see some fluctuation with organizations in terms of their budget and how much they want to spend so I don't think too much about it.

Re: Budget vs. No budget

Thanks for the replies! I'm still on the fence with budgets on/off, but if I go the way of off, your info definitely helps!

Re: Budget vs. No budget

Yeah i started this thread because i was on the fence. And honestly, i thought i was one of the few who didn't use it. But seeing the responses here made me realize that maybe were not the minority? Either way, i have 30 team control on, but i only use it to make real life transactions. Anything else i generally let stay. However with 30 team control i do have the luxury of changing anything i want if i feel the need to. That being said i agree with the above poster. You don't see too much bizzare things in the off season. I ran a test and just simmed to the off season to see what it was like. Nothing too strange. Harper signed with the Dodgers, Goldschmidt went back to Arizona and I believe Machado ended up in pinstripes.

Yeah im glad I stumbled upon this thread. I do 30 team control too, so I may just roll with budgets off. The budget stuff is quite confusing IMO. Have you seen any weird traders with budgets off?

Not overly weird. I've seen trams swap 2 minor league outfielders. Doesn't really make a whole lot of sense but not weird per say. I will say ive seen a lot more trades and early trades this year

Re: Budget vs. No budget

If the budget system worked I’d use it, but currently it seems pretty random and doesn’t take anything into account other than team record and the 2018 payroll.

you can generate revenue by stealing bases & turning double plays by sponsorships. I think there may be a couple more ways also but I'm not positive.

Re: Budget vs. No budget

So with them off, you can make the real deals made in mlb pretty easily. I've read it was near impossible at times with budgets on

Re: Budget vs. No budget

Quick question to see if anyone has done this. I do 30 team control and I use sponsorships for my controlled team (Padres) but if I were to also place those same sponsorships for the other 29 teams would that increase their revenue too? Like would it not count towards them because I'm already using those sponsorships?

I believe you have to manually add the sponsorships. I think I read, maybe from Armor, that the CPU doesn't assign them

Yeah I know that but if I assign my three sponsorships that I actually use to my cpu teams as well will the game let us all use those same sponsorships if I assign them to all the CPU teams?

Re: Budget vs. No budget

Yea but any extra revenue made during the season is only useful at the trade deadline. You can’t sign players to extensions during the season and at the end of the post season your bank goes back to 5mil no matter what. The size of your bank before that does affect your cash flow for the off-season but it seems random or at least none of us have figured out the math yet.

I believe the more cash you have in the "bank" at the end of the season dictates how much your "budget" increases in the offseason/following season.

IE teams with a higher "bank" amount will get a bigger budget increase. Teams with lower "Bank" will have a smaller budget increase.....
