no merchandising revenue

[hockey72]

I am playing a fictional league starting in 1901. I added 4 teams to each league and split them into 3 divisions each. The problem is, I am in my 4th year, and none of the "expansion" teams ... including mine, have any money in the merchandising revenue. My fan interest is now in the 80's and still $0. I know from the earlier versions, you could have "special days" to help, but I don't see that in this game. Plus, I have made the playoffs in 2 years ... winning it all in both of those years. Why am I not receiving merchandising revenue? Thanks.

In previous versions (and I'm assuming this version) merchandising revenue is tied to making the teams opening revenue balance, and never changed through-out the life of the team. Or if you edited it would always be about the same number, hence expansion teams have always gotten about $0 merchandising revenue, unless you edited it. Merchandising revenue is not tied into winning or fan suport, so it won't change, will always be within about 100,000 of what it is set in the first season of the league.
