jlcmsu Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Hello everyone. I know there have been many posts here about Owner Mode and I've looked at almost all of them just recently. I wanted to put what my season looks like so far and whats left to see if anyone can see something I'm missing to help me have some money in the bank come the end of the year. I'm playing this on PS2. I'm only in my first season. St. Louis Cardinals- Salary $57 million YTD Income(-) -10,541,228 Expected (-) -18,626,696 Bank (-) 5,541,042 My Revenue before games is $100,164 My Exspenses are $374,318 Leaving me starting $-274,154 I usually make about $200,000 a home game. My fan happiness is at 3 right now and my record is 70-11 Here is what I have. Concession Stands Ice Cream 3/4 Pizza 1/4 Popcorn 1/4 Peanuts 1/4 Stores Record Breakers Sluggers Shortstops Ballpark Upgrades Restaurant Level 2 Costs and % sold Tickets Sold $25 Lower Deck 85-90% sold a game avg $15 Upper Deck 80-85% sold a game avg Concessions Sold Pizza $5.50 34-35% a game Popcorn $6.50 18% a game Peanuts $5.50 a game Ice Cream $6.50 10-11% a game Store Items Sold Lettered Jerseys $180 23% a game Plain Jerseys $120 24-25% a game Retro Jerseys $230 23-24% a game Pennats $15 18-19% a game Baseball Cards $7 18-19% a game Baseballs $11 13-14% a game Retro Caps $30 16-17% a game Ok, I'm about at the All-Star break now. I'm getting ready to play a 7 game road trip. Here are the home stands I have left the rest of the year and the impact as of right now. Anything you see above that could be changed to help me get more money to get more money in the bank would be so apprecaited.

APR Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 How are you making only 200,000 a game with all of that stuff that you put into your ballpark?? I usually put in a quarter of what you put in and I can make 500,000 a game with any team. Here's a tip though, make sure to lower and raise your pricing according to the Impact of the game.

jlcmsu Posted March 21, 2005 Author Share Posted March 21, 2005 Thats what I don't get how I'm only making that much a game after the exspenses. I'm doing something really wrong thats whats bugging the crap out of me and I'm coming to you all for help. I usually just leave it at $25/$15 a game and I get around that percentage.

Disengage Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Make the playoffs, which you should since you're 70-11, and raise prices to about $70 and $45 and you will rake in the cash You should also raise your current prices to about $35-40 and $15-20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlcmsu Posted March 21, 2005 Author Share Posted March 21, 2005 Thanks I'll try that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlcmsu Posted March 22, 2005 Author Share Posted March 22, 2005 Well, now the fun begins the post all-star break. After playing the road trip before and going through the days off. I'm not 8.32 million in the hole starting the second half. If I can just get close to zero I'd be happy going into the second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedrospecialk Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 your popcorn is through the roof. mine's at 1.50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlcmsu Posted March 22, 2005 Author Share Posted March 22, 2005 I changed it to 3.50 along with all the other stuff. Plus I sold some of my Ice cream places leaving only 1 left. I also sold the stores that weren't doing that great based on sales. I upped the tickets for at least the Houston series to $45/30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlcmsu Posted March 22, 2005 Author Share Posted March 22, 2005 Well, good news so far. I've dropped my negative bank from the 8.32 to 6.81 in the hole. I guess I finally smarted up thanks to all the info. Here is to hoping I can make it back to zero or a little above after the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
