    Re: Owner Mode Tips

    I was simming away last night with owner mode for the 1st time, and in 4 season I was up to level 4 seating, with some of the niceties.

    Anyways. I found the key is keeping your payroll modest, and you don't have to dominate the league, you just need your september games to matter.

    I am going to start an owner mode tonight with the Blue Jays, in which I will play every single MLB game, because that's what I do. I know playing in the cheesey stadium for a season or two will be lame, but it'll be fun. Also, it can't be any worse than that eye sore SkyDome.

Do you think this is how much fan happiness is increased when they are able to choose these items? I don't think it has anything to do with profit margin or cost to sell the items.
        It refers to the # of items that stand is able to sell during a game...

        +1300 means you have 1300 hot dogs 'lets assume' during 1 game to sell.
        If you sell 650 that game you will have a 50% showing this.

          do you recommend buying more than one of a concession stand early? I have a stadium of 33000 but only one of the about 6 different concessions. Peanuts are my top sellers, should I buy another stand or keep saving up for the $20 mil stadium upgrade.

          Also, is there any point to the ads and logos other than fan happiness? Does this do anything else for me?

          Thanks.

            Good question, I'm approaching that dilemna shortly and would love some advice.

            About the ads, if EA was smart about it they would have increased your sponsorship money for advertising different companies so that it pays to ad the signs and logos. Unless they do that, it's pointless to me because I'm a bottom line owner...rings and revenue!

              that's what I was thinking about the ads, but no one has mentioned anything about it increasing your money. I don't understand why you would want ads all over your stadium unless it brought you in money. as a fan, I would rather see nothing on the wall than an add for channel 5 news. Logos of the MLB and your team would be nice though.

                I would guess you have to buy those pointless ads to get your team's logo behind home plate...unfortunately. Again, not sure so I'm eager to hear the answers to your questions.

                      Peanuts are reiculous money makers. Buy the whole lot of em I think max 4 right? And keep the price high around 4-5 $ if not more.

                      I have yet to buy the ads and I will not be able to comment on this. But I will try over the weekend install these with the extra cash laying around and hopefully give you some good insight aukevin

                        thanks USC. I decided to get another peanut guy a couple days ago, I'm sure it will pay off. I have noticed that peanuts sell like crazy, I might buy me another.

                              How do you make so much money? I'm only getting roughly 1.5 mil for my playoff games. I'd love to have a 105 mil surplus.

                                I barely got 1 mil for my playoff games the only time I made them. I have since started a new owners mode(got bought out). After the 1mil I got you end up with like 700k!
