Suggestion Allow low average attendance per game. Currently if the user inputs an average attendance of below 5,000 the game will ignore that input and default to 5,000/game. (Note: This change is related to my previous post - allowing users to edit merchandising revenue).
Reason Markus - I know you play baseball. Wouldn't you like to create an amateur or semi-pro league in OOTP 9 that you could imagine yourself playing in? Currently some of the OOTP finance logic will not allow those kinds of leagues to be set up, at least not with any kind of remotely accurate finances. There's the uneditable Merchandising revenue (mentioned in my previous game suggestion) and then the biggest hurdle - OOTP's hard coded 5,000/game attendance minimum. I bet a lot of users would like to set up OOTP leagues that match their amateur or semi-pro leagues, or even High School/College intramural or mixed slo-pitch leagues. This is not even mentioning the OOTP users that love historical play. I'd like to create some of the 1940's-1950's short season semi-pro leagues where players might earn $50 for a season. I want to pay beer league players $1 for a season (representing a free beer at the year end party) and I want the average attendance to be 12 people per game (spouses & kids waiting to use the field!). Modern unaffiliated pro leagues like the Northern league would average well under 5,000/game as well. How about just basic MLB turn of the century seasons, many teams of that era did not average this amount of customers per game either and I bet this change might get the most support from those kinds of OOTP fans. I could be wrong about this, but I suspect this change (along with editable merchandising revenue) would be a pretty hit with many different kinds of OOTP users and make the game more versatile and impressive to existing users as well as potential new customers.
Priority Very high.
