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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
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 Share on other sites More sharing options...
