Moneyball Challenge — Who can make their owner the most money in Franchise?

[SirManBoy]

I'm looking for some Franchise mode enthusiasts who would like to engage in a friendly competition on MLB The Show 21. Here's the premise...

We would all start new sim-only play throughs on Franchise and see who can earn their owner the most money over a decade—end of season budget surpluses would be tracked and documented. However, GM contracts must be on and sponsorships are not allowed. The challenge would be in how to balance not being fired through three contracts while also being profitable enough to win the competition after 10 seasons. Some parameters to consider:

1. Being fired by your original owner is an automatic disqualification.
2. Universal DH on.
3. Extra innings runner at 2nd turned off.
4. Sliders kept at their default settings.
5. End of year budget surpluses must be documented with pictures and carefully tracked.
6. You must document that you are not earning money from sponsorships.
7. You must document your GM status at the start of every season—a picture of the screen that shows your contract status, job security, and GM rating.

Re: Moneyball Challenge — Who can make their owner the most money in Franchise?

as a GM,the first thing I do when hired is set my owner down and explain to him my top priority concern isn't being a glorified beancounter but rather, winning championships.
and if he (she/them/they/it) ain't on board with that, they may as fire me right now
lol

also, some teams are just going to be easier to make $ than others. I'd think if you're picking Oakland or Miami, you're already behind the 8-ball as opposed to the have-it-all cities (LA/NY/Chicago)
