Financial problems

timmermac · 01-02-2008, 04:57 PM

For people that start back in 1901, do you know if/when the financial situation ever gets to the point that you can sign free agents? My balance, first for Boston's NL team and now for the AL team has been in the red since I started. That has effectively meant that I can do nothing to improve the quality of my team aside from inside the system or by trades. I want to be able to sign free agents at some point.

I haven't seen that problem playing as the Cardinals, Tigers or Red Sox out of the gate. Did you change any financial settings?

No changes to the financials. But I am running with foreign leagues and a full minor league system. Could that be affecting things? Also, do you notice really low attendance in yours? Everybody seems to be averaging 4-5000 fans a night in stadiums with a much higher capacity.
