I must be missing the irony.... It was my cheap shot for the day

its strategy. I'm planning my reign around most of u being so far in the hole you cant do anything about it. I cant bury players anymore so hopefully this season doesn't suck.

I wonder how far in debt the league as a whole is

Let him get whatever his owner gives him. My .02

At the same time an owner wouldn't allow a team to go $200M over budget either.

Rob is my boy and all but there shouldn't be a bailout. I think the $50M cap is bailout enough when other teams are only getting $10M.

$10mil, what is George talking about!!!

I believe I've gotten less than $2mil total in the past 3 seasons from my owner.

I agree with you George but such is life in baseball. Pirates would never get the OK to spend Yankee Red Sox Dodger type of cash. All owners are different some spend some don't. All I am saying is that if your owner is an economizer like mine take your chances spend go in the hole and struggle. If he has open pockets spend and get a bail out from him. No way shape or form do I think the league should bail him out but I don't think we should be sour if his owner does and some don't.

I would agree, if we were actually GMs of the team, but we're not. We are actually the owners, so therefore, I can't buy a real life comparison. It's apples and oranges.

I have to agree with Shel. It does not matter what the game calls us, we are the owners and have control of every aspect of the organization.

I do agree to a point but to say we are owners isn't all true because we cant make the budget so that is where we run into issues since the guy running the budget controls what we get we should be able to receive what he gives.

I hear ya.


But we can't be fired, we have final say on all personnel decisions and the biggie...we can move the entire team to another city without input from the owner. I think those alone have us acting like owners way more than GMs.

I also don't think the owner has anything to do with setting the budget, the budget always nearly mirrors your previous season's revenue total. Though the owner does have a say in changing the budget once the preseason starts.

That is correct, be successful and make revenue and you have a high budget. Do it for a sustained period it goes even higher. We are the owners and control everything that will happen.

Also, this whole owner cash thing is completely dependent on debt. I do not care what kind of owner you think you have. Go 100 million in debt next year and watch your cash sky rocket. It is a failsafe OOTP built in to prevent guys from never being able to return from a hole and we decided it is not fair (which its not) and we adjusted it

We never said you did. People are only responding to Corey post.

speaking of owner goals is it possible to remove them? they are just....annoying. My owner doesn't know shit.

I didn't want to single out your worst.

I hate that one team can get $50+M bailout and another team gets $1M bailout with similar debt. As a GM you can make the choice to go be a GM for a Boston type or Miami type organization knowing the money restrictions you will eventually face. We had zero choice in what kind of "owner" we wanted to work for

It has been said 100 times though, please show me which team with "similar debt" is getting 50mil compared to one team with "similar debt" getting 1mil. It does not happen that way

I have gotten zero from my owner the last 3 years according to the accounting page in game. Cry me a river Shel
