I'm beginning to wonder if I need to pick a New York team or one from the Western divisions in order to get anything better than second..

I'm in 1985 after starting in 1977.. Toronto Blue Jays.. Now I expected to be horrible the first little while.. And I was. But now I've got a winning baseball team except for the fact that the Yankees usually pull ahead to a 20 game lead by July..

Could we get some way of having the Yankees and Mets come down to earth for a bit???

The only non-New York team I had win a World Series was Seattle...

It's kind of annoying knowing that you can't compete...

Try droping the Bronx yearly income down a grand or so. They won't have near as much money. This has helped level the playing field quite a bit. I've played 7 years with the Yanks yearly income a grand lower and it seems to keep their revenue down as they've been in the hole for the 2nd year in a row now.

So how would I do that?

Go to League-options and put commissioner mode on. Then go to League-city editor and change the per capita income.

I put both mey work teams in the same divsion that one always goes to the playoff but just one of the two that way other teams have a shot(though they still get beat in the playoffs)

You could try lowering the fan base and fan loyalty of all the large market teams in the league editor.
