The franchise management interface contains the fundamental finance tools that allow you to manage the administrative side of your Franchise. The 4 management modules available on this page are : Information, Funds, Contracts, and Investments. The sections below explain the functionality of each module in greater detail.
Information :This module displays general information about your franchise. The "View Franchise Page" link on the top right corner will take you to an interface that allows you to update your public Franchise profile. Below are some notes on certain fields in this module.
This module displays on overview of your Franchise's current budget (which can also be accessed from the Franchise Management interface). Along with these numbers, there are various pie charts you can view to see how your funds have been spent and allocated.
This module has two views : "Next Season" (the default view), and "Current Season". Each view displays each player which represents the value of their contracts. "Next Season" displays all the player contracts for your team and the current projected salary you will pay each for the next season. "Current Season" displays all the contracts you have paid for the current season.
In the "Next Season" view, you may opt to promote players / bid to increase their salary for the next season if you want to keep them. A contract will be highlighted in red if another team currently has the highest bid for a player. Each view is sorted by highest to lowest contract. (Note : You will likely find that you are paying for more contracts than you have players in your roster if you have moved a newly bid player to the minors. This is because you are still responsible to pay each new player's contract regardless of whether you play him or not)
Investments :This module allows you to invest in amenities and capital investments. The section on the left shows your current active capital investments or owned assets or amenities. To invest in a capital market, you will need to unlock the market, unless you have upgraded as a premium member. Once you unlock one, you will never have to again. To unlock a market, click the "Locked" link and follow the checkout process. You do not need to unlock amenities markets, such as "Stadiums" though.
As a note for clarification : Once a capital market (e.g. Broadcasting, Ad Campaigns, Promotion Events) is unlocked you will be able to partake in investments that increase your Game Currency funds. Click the "Invest" link for a specific investment to start the investment. You cannot investment in multiple "types" of investments at the same time, as just increasing the value of funds you want to invest would be equivalent to this.
