Ok, so I've tested this out using real life information and it looks really good. I've inputted the data into an MLB-type universe (it's the 2007 Lahman database) and what I'll do is, run a few seasons to see how much OOTP attempts to change the values that I inputted.

The idea is for things to stay relatively attempt consistent as the teams performances change. In other words, the Yankees shouldn't miraculously lose all of their buying power and become paupers to the Kansas City Royals, because that doesn't make any freakin' sense using baseball's current economic system.

So I want to see how well the game handles the data I inputted. If it works well, then we'll know we're onto something.
