Making money in owner mode

So what am I doing wrong? I'm trying to get to 10milion so i can buy the expanded seating around the outfield. But I just can't see it happening. I lost about as much money onthe road as I make at home. do i really ned to stock up on concession stands? Admittingly I'm a bit light there. I'm playing the game on Ps/2 btw.

Well if you had the PC you can download Artmoney.

You're best deal is to sell all your high priced players, get young talent (like the Marlins). Try to price games according to the importance of it. Buy concessions and get money off of them. That's a big way to make money.

Well I hope I helped out a little.

Well, I'm already in year 2 of owner mode with a completely redrafted Mets team. Pedro Martinez is my one high priced guy, but I have lots of really cost effective guys...Miguel Cabrera, Michael Young, D. Wright. J. Reyes, Podsednik,....some mid priced guys as well...Mora, Bermakan...total payroll for player saleries is about 60/M a year.

I think I've made 15 Millions in my first year.

Do not use artmoney if you really want to enjoy owner mode.

just search the forums, there are plenty of thread that show you how to make money.

here's some tips:

1.don't worry too much about the payroll, it doesn't really matter in the game.

2.don't win every game, make your season tight. (find a nice slider setting, so you won't win all the time)

3.play every home game when you're in the postseason.

btw, you won't start making money on your first year untill the all-star break.

i never play "owner mode". but i like that everyone's advice is to "be the marlins".

-EA made a game to get people to play as the marlins. sounds like a coup.

also... what is artmoney?

The easiest way to make money is to play a cheap team. Yes, I know this. With mvp06beta original rosters, I played the Nats and made 1.3 billion. Sadly, after raising Alou IV, it cuts off after 2039 or so. Now I am starting with the updated rosters that have the full and correct monetary values. i.e. the Mets total salary to begin with is 150 or so mil. The games built in equalizer for media expenses doesnt cover this. In owner mode, I lost 47 mil the first 2 years. I know I can go into MVPedit and reduce the salaries to game standard levels (for instance, ARod make 26.2 a year, but the game would never pay him more than 14). I downloaded ArtMoney and want to know which file to edit? Any clues?

Win games, don't win them all, but go like 90-72 and make the playoffs!

You make most of the money in the playoffs and towards the end of the year you start to stay in the positive amount of money because of all the games with high importance.
