2087 Season Thread - I fought the law and I won

[qazhby]

I'm pretty sure it was the ChicagoLOLCats. But you're also talking 60 years ago. And if that was the case then AJ should be much higher because he won a bunch back then also

AJs port orange is not the same port orange that he used to have.

AJ is the old Steel City now- I was in the playoffs for I believe 16/20 years and won two titles I think my Market Size went from Average to Above Average that's it. I could be wrong though, I will try to look at some older files and see if I can look back

Market size may not be completely related to how big of a city you're in for a "market". It could be tied to winning and your players popularity. For example, the Kansas City Chiefs. Kansas City isn't the biggest market, but after they got Mahomes and started winning a lot, and then a Super Bowl, they could be pulling in interest from more areas than just their own city market. Or even all the fans of say, LeBron, who love him and were following the Cavs and wearing his jersey, and then when he went to Miami, started following him there. Cavs overall market was big, then tanked, then went back up when he came back, then plummeted again. My point is, I could see the market being a lot bigger than just where the team is, and is more based upon the success of the team and the popularity of the players on your roster.

Now that I know there was to be a reset I will advertise it in the future. I can't go back to teams that took over and retroactively screw them something they didn't know about. I don't really think that's fair.

Yes that would be Fan Interest, not Market Size. Which is much more correlated to winning

I keep getting an error when I try and quote the response.... Anyhow

Thundercrabs were taken over in 2072 and again I'm willing to bet his market size was reset that year. His market size was big within 10 seasons, which is contrary to long term winning. There are plenty of franchises that have won for a long period of time that haven't seen their market size increase much. But if you look at the teams that really pushed the envelope with their budgets, all their market sizes are larger. There's no way my market size should have increased faster than Moose Jaw, but here we are. The only difference is the fact that I really-really pushed my budget as high as possible. If you look across the league at other teams that have Huge market sizes, they've all had big budget runs. I obviously can say 100% that's it, but all the evidence points towards budget size which coincides with winning a lot.

You gotta talk to Ry. He has been the king here.

I took over the LoL Cats. They're still a minor league team.

Let the computer make the ticket prices. Stop trying to reinvent the wheel

I thought this only happens if you have an assistant GM and those dudes caused more harm than good?
