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??
