Sponsorship Money Not Adding into Budget
-
So I have been trying to grow my budget in MLB The Show 21 with sponsorships. I built my team around speed and utilize the diamond sponsorship for stealing bases, which nets me $30k each x3 = $90k per stolen base. And I try to steal bases all game long.
Last game I stole 12 bases which should've netted me just over $1-million in sponsorship money, but my team budget and projected yearly deficit didn't change from before the game. I checked in the sponsorships area and it is adding up every stolen base, but it's not applying it to my budget.
Any ideas why? Is there a cap or something?
Thanks,

Those increase your revenue not your budget. It says so right on the review sponsorship screen.
Aquire and equip Sponsorship to increase revenue.

@fubar2k7 But it's not increasing it at the rate of what I'm earning from the sponsorship.
For example: I just stole 15 stolen bases last game. Which is equivalent to $1.35-million ($90k x 15). But my team revenue only increased from 223.1M to 223.3M. That's only $200k.
And when I go into Sponsorships, I've now earned $20M, which is up $1.35M from last game. So the Sponsorship is earning the money, but it's not applying nearly that amount to my Team Budget, or anywhere else.
I don't get it.

@Bound2Fail77 Without seeing how much your spending vs your budget my only guess is your revenue from those stolen bases only $200k more than your budgeted expenditure for that day. Your budget won’t change at all during the season. That only changes between seasons depending on how well you perform during the season.

When you add the 3 red numbers (revenue share, player and staff salaries) you are paying $226.2 million which is above the 2021 threshold of $216 million so even though you are below budget you’re losing money.
The calculation of available budget is your player and staff salaries subtracted off your budget without including what you pay into revenue share. Your player and staff are below your budget but the revenue share you pay make it where you are losing money without the sponsorship money you’re making. Does that make sense?

I thought that future budget was entirely based on current, end of season, revenue minus expenditures. With the budget not changing until the next season. Making any new revenue moot until the next season. I'm wrong so often, it wouldn't surprise me to be wrong again.

Future budget is what you said or I believe it is what you said and how you perform in the post season factors as well.
The new revenue gained through sponsorship helps offset when you’re running at a loss like he is. If he doesn’t get the stolen bases he will start losing money (right now from what he said I assume his projected yearly deficit improves by $200k daily thanks to the stolen bases) and start getting notices about being in debt. Enough notices and it’ll lower his budget for the next season.
My girlfriend’s son ran a Mets franchise and had to trade Verlander due to being in debt once it threatened to lower his budget.

So my sponsorship money is up over $25m already through 30 games. Stole 26 bases tonight for a nice $2.34m from 1 game.
At this rate, I'm guessing my team will have a lot of money to play with in the off season?

Thank you brother. Helpful as always.

@Bound2Fail77_MLBTS For sure and the deeper you’re post season run the more of a boost to your budget.
