Owner Mode Tips

Re: Owner Mode Tips

My take on owner mode: In real life, a baseball GM is not concerned with the "extras" in owner mode, just baseball operations. This mode is too time consuming and pulls way too much time from playing games. Just like weekly prep, does it really affect gameplay particularly when you play every or as many games as possible?

Naw, it does'nt really effect your team nor its stats and ratings. Only way it effects your team is salary wise, which in turn may make a player sad, which in turn might make a player play bad.

I donno, if you want to stick to being a GM, I doubt you'll dig the owners mode. It is time consuming and it defitnitely will pull time from your games, but its just another alternative to just playing games and looking at stats.

Re: Owner Mode Tips

The best ticket prices I ever get are like $65 for the prime seats, $45 for upper deck, and like $4000 for luxury boxes.

However, that's usually towards the end of the year for a winning team in the pennant race.

hmmm, I'm at the beginning of my first year. I have my ticket prices at $45 and $30. Do you think that is too low? I don't want to get too deep in the hole.

Re: Owner Mode Tips

i had fair trades on...in real life an owner doesn't need to cut every high paid player to build a stadium, i dont want to cut all of my favorite players but if its what i got to do, i might as well get what i can

Dude, it's all variable.

If you're selling out every night, it's too low.

If you jack them up and only sell 50%, it's too high. Use that info under ticket pricing to tell you...

It'll also show you the total revenue, which is ultimately what you're trying to make, between the price differences.

I'm a couple million in debt (2.1 I think) after 26 games, am I screwed or if I make the playoffs and smart moves the rest of the way (like trading Roger Cedeno and his 4.5 mil bench salary for a low minor leaguer) will I be able to overcome it or am I destined to be fired after year one?

Re: Owner Mode Tips

quick question...Is there enough money at the end of the year to resign most of the players on the 1 year 300K who ask for 2 mil at the end of the season? I cut my payroll 30 mil down to 43, but I have many young players who have low contracts who ask for a mil or two more when I try to extend them

Re: Owner Mode Tips

I dont know how I did this, but in Fantasy Draft I drafted a third ranked team and the payroll is only 77 Mil. Can anyone top that?

I'm in the same boat as you, let's hope we aren't done for. This is my first time playing an "owner" mode type game. I usually just stick to dynasty modes. I'm not sure of the moves I'm making...
