Merchandising Revenue

BeachBum · 04-10-2008, 04:27 PM

I have been dissatisfied with the financial model in historical leagues. I have modified the finanials.txt file to more accurately reflect actual historical salaries, ticket prices etc. However, I need to adjust the Merchandising Revenue amount/factor. Where is this and how can it be edited?

That ... is a very good question. Have you tried running a test to see what kind of numbers you end up with? I'm certain that merchandising has a strong correlation with fan interest, but other than that, I'm not coming up with anything.

I did not think about fan interest but this is really a moving target as it can change from day to day based on trades, wins, etc.

I did look at relationship between attendence and ticket revenue and there is not one that I can determine. At least not a simple straight forward percentage.

Perhaps some combination of factors??

Sorry, but I still don't have a good answer for this. Have you made any progress on figuring this out? Perhaps you could ask in the General Discussions forum?

There is some crazy formula based on several things. Someone came up with it based on some real world something or other... can't remember a thing about it now.

Ask on the main forum, maybe whoever worked on that will see it there.
