What is the best one to use? I have noticed in one leauge that the Mets are making 2.8 per game with ppv and the Braves are making .8 with normal. This is a lot of points for a whole season. What long term damage does PPV do to the team, if any?
Thanks....
(Just trying to learn the game, so if this is an old question...sorry!)

Pay TV is a great way to generate revenue, but it erodes your fan loyalty over time since no one can see your games on TV unless they are willing to pay, thus causing you to lose fan loyalty.
From the CD help file, which uses the same code as the Online version: "Broadcasting some of your games on a local Premium or Pay-Per-View cable channel is a good way to raise TV revenue quickly, but it over time it gradually hurts fan loyalty by reducing the number of people that can watch your team. It also results in ballpark attendance that is better than broadcasting the game on TV, but not as good as a full TV Blackout."

I've been using this strategy. Normal Broadcast when the team is on the road and ppv when the team is at home. The Pirates have used this strategy as well as other mlb teams. Is this a sound strategy?
