Luxury Tax Threshold OSFM rosters

[adamjsav]

If we edit any contracts which reflect their real life counterparts, can we confirm this will have drastic impact on the new threshold in franchise? I think the threshold is much lower than the current real life threshold.

My advice is don't mess with contracts.

If you only want to play one year, go for it. If you plan on doing multiple years, it'll cause trouble.

What about real contracts for season mode, NOT using OSFM rosters?
I only plan on playing 5 or 6 seasons, will having real contracts negatively effect the game in season mode as much as it would a full fledged OSFM franchise with real contracts?
I've already done the Orioles & I didn't want to waste time if it's going to break even something as simple as season mode. For the O's 40man I come up with a $156.65 million, if that helps.
Their default roster 40man was $100.15 million. So I've already added another $56.5 mill.
Any & all opinions & info appreciated.

For season mode the only negative with real contacts is trading. All teams start with roughly 10 million in free space.

A player making 8 million on default rosters that makes 15, like a Mike leake, in osfm is not trade able for prospects alone.

Most trades are prospect trades or mlb players for mlb players.

So in the few Sims I did you won't see the "playoff push" trades for vets in year one.

From my experience, yes it does. I edited contracts to make them very similar to real life, and in year one of my franchise I believe the threshold is in the $190 million's (very close to the 189 mark in real life). I'm pretty sure it's in the 130's or 140's with the default contacts, so it significantly jumped.

Also, I've noticed (or I think I've noticed) that free agent contracts seem I be more realistic when I simmed ahead.

Are you saying there is a positive correlation between contract size and luxury tax threshold? For instance, with default rosters, smaller threshold = small contracts; edited contracts = bigger contracts?

My experience has been a $203mm for OSFM rosters. Start editing those contracts and you're looking at an amount significantly more.
