I ran some tests Sims today to research the mysterious case of low payroll budget teams (CLE,PIT,TB in particular)
Pure stats:
CLE payroll budget in 2017 without expansion: 61M
CLE payroll budget in 2017 with expansion: 72M
CLE attendance in 2017 without expansion: 28K
CLE attendance in 2017 with expansion: 32K
PIT payroll budget in 2017 without expansion: 59M
PIT payroll budget in 2017 with expansion: 69M
PIT attendance in 2017 without expansion: 20K
PIT attendance in 2017 with expansion: 23K
TB payroll budget in 2017 without expansion: 44M
TB payroll budget in 2017 with expansion: 51M
TB attendance in 2017 without expansion: 19K
TB attendance in 2017 with expansion: 24K
This is NOT luck or an unrelated correlation. I ran these tests 5 times with similar results every time. Also, as I was simming, I noticed some VERY close division races! Let's bring some exciting stretch run's back to FCM! (Thanks Nick)
