Sim Play Levels: Normal and Advanced
There are two levels of the sim. The only difference between them is the number of decisions you can make. The game is preset to the Advanced Level, Marketing - the highest. To use the sim at a level, just click on your choice below, then press "Begin Simulation."
Normal Sim Level
At this level, you can make decisions involving team finances and management, and existing stadium operations. To build a new stadium, you activate the "Build New Stadium" decision. The stadium will be constructed if you have paid attention to political issues.
Advanced Level Sim: Marketing
Here, you have access to all decisions and in the Advanced Marketing Decision area, and the Stadium Negotiations Section.
As a note, there are default settings for each variable, even in the most advanced level. The point is, just because you have a decision you can make, does not mean you have to make it.
