This is a dumb question considering trades and F/A and everything, but I just figured out, with my current roster, that I lose 680 points each day. So I have to make more than that in a game to make money, which isn't likely. How much do you lose each day with your roster?

well these are my teams

File 1 - Success mode players, <50,000 salary. I don't really lose points.

File 2 - Red Sox, <150,000, Lose about 100-500 points per day

File 3 - <25 year old team, like 1, I dont really lose points.

Get into the playoffs and win the world series; you won't have to worry about anything after that :D
And by the way both of my teams are super cheap teams (one has a total salary of 18895)

Wow, how much is your total payroll?

I think my total payroll is somewhere around 77,500 and I seem to lose about 400 points per day. Currently, I'd say I make between 600-800 points per game, so I always end up making money. If I could start over again, though, I'd probably try and reduce my payroll to around the 20,000 mark.

My current payroll is about 135,000 points.

All I know is that is it's under 200 with my expansion team, whos salary is only 20K. My money goes up by about 20-100 each game since my team isn't too good but I manage to get at least 200 points almost each time.

Being on the Yanks, I don't know, but I can gurantee its a hell of a lot. Add that to not realizing that relasing players makes you lose points and over buying in the shop (my first try on 07) and you need the world-series and a few awards to avoid bankruptcy. Fourtenetly I aquired both (and a ton of awards considering it was normal difficulty. I narrowly missed CY Young for Clemens because he had a slightly worse and slightly less Ks then Sabathia).

In the 08 game when I finally get back home and start playing more then the two hours I have, I will be much more responsible with money and trade away some more expensive players (Giambi). However, I will keep A-rod haha.

I don't actually lose 680 points each day, I get about 500 or 600 from games which means I'm only losing about 100 points each day.

I have a 425,000 payroll and lost about 280 a day and recieved 450 for my Tigers. Then again I got Chipper and Delgado, I traded Guillen and Thames plus Bondo. Man, the Bondo trade was real fun to deal with, effing Dodgers wouldn't let it go. :mrgreen:

That's not possible. 425,000 is more than mine and you lose less than me.
