Online Leagues - Market Size and Fan Loyalty Drift

Stu · 12-24-2007, 11:42 AM

I was wondering what custom rules, if any, online leagues are using for market size and fan loyalty drift. With a new OOTP coming out just about every year now, it seems like the in game mechanics that handle this will never get the opportunity to take place since most leagues only get through about 3 seasons in between versions.

Any thoughts/ideas?

The only rules we have in place put a limit on how low market size and fan loyalty are allowed to go. If they ever go below, they are moved back to the minimum before the next season starts. This has also helped to keep teams more competitive.

We do not have any specific rules. We give every team an identical media revenue of 30mil, and we have an income scale ranging from 35 to 90mil or so. Works for us.
