My Compare/Contrast of Owner Mode

[APR]

Using the suggestions of Wilmer007, and everything everyone has said on that thread I have completed 1 year of 2 Owner Mode and I am going to share my results.

Owner Mode #1: Cleveland Indians

Assets Bought:

- 1 Soda Vendor

- 1 Pizza Shack

- 1 Popcorn Stand

- 1 Peanut Vendor

- 1 Ice Cream Vendor

*No Other upgrades/promos were bought except these throughout the entire length of the season*

Final Stats of Owner Mode #1:

Net Worth: -$4,289,498

Season Record: 72-90

Stadium Score: 4

Owner Mode #2: Cleveland Indians

Assets Bought:

- Level 2 Seating

- 1 Soda Vendor

*No Other upgrades/promos were bought except these throughout the entire length of the season*

Final Stats of Owner Mode #2:

Net Worth: -$10,192,156

Season Record: 75-87

Stadium Score: 3

Now, both seasons were totally simmed. No special sliders, just the updated EA rosters. Budgets were set to Large. Ticket and concession pricing were changed according to the post made by Wilmer007 in the thread posted above.

Year round in both Owner Modes, the seating was about 80% and higher.

I strongly recommend not buying any stadium upgrades your first year because the only one you can buy right off the bat is the Level 2 stadium seating and it costs $4 Million for only 5,000 more seats, and over the long run is not cost effective at all.

Also, I strongly recommend that if you are using a lower-tier team like the Indians, play your games. The better you play throughout the season, the more higher ranked games you will play if you are in a tight divison race or fighting for home-field advantage. In one 10/10 series vs. the Twins, I made 3 million dollars. Now imagine if you had a 4 game series vs. the Yanks or BoSox that was 10/10. You would sell out your stadium, and probably make over 4 Million.

These are just suggestions and any tips, or hints, or criticism will be GREATLY appreciated.
