Projected Final Balance is Screwed

aewin · 10-18-2008, 08:06 PM

On the financials page the "Proj. Final Balance" makes no projection for future gate revenue, merchandising revenue or playoff revenue. The latter of these is perhaps understandable, but the result is that this figure is totally useless especially early in the season.

I have just started a season in an online league where my proj final balance is -$61.8m and I will in fact end up with a balance of around $18m plus any playoff revenue.

Either the formula needs to be adjusted to include an estimate of future gate revenue and merchandising revenue (perhaps using last year's figures) so that the final balance is truly a projected figure or it should just be deleted as it creates unnecessary confusion right now.

Any comments?

Ya I could see how that is gonna be a problem, especially if you are trying to keep your team in the black...

CLE in Bricks & Ivy, but I have seen it in my other teams as well at the beginning of the season.

I have now posted in the suggestions for ootp10 thread.
