lyon810 Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 With MLB in the midst of arbitration season, was wondering if anyone has perhaps considered creating a mod which would add arbitration to the game? I have the MVP 08 Total Conversion mod and its great, but I still find the gross inaccuracy with the game is salaries. Pitchers always want a huge pay raise, whereas fielding positions want little to no increase which is grossly unrealistic. Has anyone or would anyone be interested in sort of re-vamping the salary portion of the game, and maybe include off-season arbitration which would be a lot of fun?

BigRog Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Well a complete total revamp to add an arbitration mod wouldn't work. I believe the salary portion, how much that ask and what its based off of was updated for the 08 mod.

Ya the salaries are updated for 2008, but players ie K-Rod aren't asking for more money, they simply want to re-sign for same amount. Essentially, no team will let go of their would-be FA if it isn't costing them anything to keep them on for next season.

alblurt06 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Yeah. I was also wondering if there could be a mod to increase the amount of money one could ask for. For example, I have Jacob Paterson on my Anaheim Angels Dynasty/Franchise, and he is an absolute monster -- he hit 67 HR and drove in 201 RBI last year, and he's still going for 3Y and 25M or so -- obviously stats in this day and age would one, warrant steroid talk, but also warrant a greater salary. THe thing is, the highest salary anyone could get is 25.6M / Y for 7 years. Is there a way where we could bump that up at all to where we could have a mod that made salaries higher and what not, as well as a lengthier contract? Like Paterson is only 25, but I want to be able to sign him to a 10 year deal, or something like that, as would happen in the MLB.

ronmexico Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Both of those are moddable, though I don't think about the years... arbitration per se could be modded, in the sense that you can make younger players ask for more money, but not a real mod for arbitration. The amount money isn't determined by how good a players stats are, it's based off of how many stars he is and his age... stupid, I know :\ Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/36002-salary-arbitration/#findComment-547880 Share on other sites More sharing options...
