Franchise Mode Budget Mechanics Suck

I have been frustrated for the last few iterations of the game with regards to the way the Operations Budget works. I understand the concept is to give different a challenge with regards to the Owner Personality and how that impacts the budget. But, the amount of money you get to Upgrade and Maintain your facility, for example, if you have an Owner Personality with 1 Star for Spending means you will NEVER be able to maintain your facility and you will always have sub-60 Fan Happiness.

There are owners in real life who are cheap as hell so I wouldn't want to remove the challenge of managing a stingy owner as a President. However, it is time to allow us to set the budget for each arm of the Operations Budget. I should get a total budget and then be able to set how much of the budget I want to set for Coaching, Scouting, Promotions, Scout Travel and Arena Operations. Give us a way of being able to actually manage the budget of a team that has a stingy owner.

  • I agree! Also, if your franchise is profitable, and I mean PROFITABLE, you as the GM should have the ability to upgrade and repair your arena with more ease.  I think in next years game (still on the fence about buying it) let the player (GM) move more money into arena operations so that upgrades/renovations can happen.  I also think when you make your franchise you should have more abilities to upgrade looks and features in the arena. I like the jersey customization, but also maybe add sponsorships into the franchise mode to allow the GM more financial revenue streams, so they can upgrade and repair the arena.
