payroll budget?!?!?

[cdo478]

Every year, my payroll budget drastically decreases and expenses rise even when I win games, make profit, and cut payroll. What gives?

This question is asked and answered in the FAQ (http://forum.sportsmogul.com/showthread.php?t=119214), and in this thread (http://forum.sportsmogul.com/showpost.php?p=555746&postcount=3).


payroll budget = expected revenue - expected non-payroll expenses

So anything that changes expected revenue or expected non-payroll expenses changes the payroll budget.


Expected revenue comes from Tickets, Broadcast, and Concessions

Expected non-payroll expenses are based on spending on Medical Staff, Farm System, and Scouting.

Changing city stats will change revenue.

In BMOnline, the formula is payroll budget = expected revenue - expected non-payroll expenses + (25% of Cash), but do not see it documented as such for BBM2K7 and I have not checked it.

Also, please post questions such as this in the General Discussions forum (where i've moved it). This forum is meant more for Suggestions. Thanks!
