I'm really curious to know how the "The team played well in our last league game" fan response is decided.

I say this because it seems to me that either my fans are a bunch of fools or, more probably, since my fans don't really exists, the code that comes up with the final number from 1 to 5 should be looked at because it would seem to ignore that on a scale from 1 to 5, the numbers 2, 2.5, 3, and 3.5 are included.

If you look at my game from last night, it would seem like a perfect situation to give a middle-of-the-scale ranking: I was on the road, playing against the finalist from last season (I ended up fifth for the record so I was definitely the underdog), and I lost by 4 points (and had the tying shot in my hands with about 30 seconds to go and the score 80-77).

Now, I don't expect that my fans take into consideration other, more "subtle" factors, like the fact that I deserved to win the game (MRs, for what they are worth, are all in my favor, and for some odd reason the refs decided that my opponent should take 29 free throws to my 6), or the fact that both teams were playing with the same effort (we both took it easy, but me being on the road, it made the game that much tougher), but, in a game like this, I would have expected that my fans, while not thrilled about the loss, would at least be able to appreciate the great game I played.

Instead, fan response: 1.5

So, my question is...what has to happen in order to get a 2.5 or 3 or 3.5 fan response in the "The team played well in our last league game" statement of the fan survey? Is it even possible, or is it simply 0.5-1.5 if you lose and 4, 4.5, or 5 if you win?

I got 3.5 for winning the last year's finalist and currently 2. in the league at home by 5 points. Not that much actually. As a fan I would have been very happy and gave at least 4-4.5 balls. Fans don't appreciate tight and exciting games and winning in clutch so much. They like blowouts:S

So they only like blowouts, and hate losing regardless of the final score? That would mean that the only thing that is taken into consideration is the final result of the game..if you win big great, if you win by a few points pretty good, if you lose you suck.

That seems like something that could be vastly improved IMO.

If this is not the case, it would be interesting to know, at least in general, what other aspects are taken into consideration, so we can at least try to make some sense of these fan reactions.

I have to agree that the fan survey is an area in which the programming could use some major improvements. I rarely look at mine anymore.

ps- Why did you take it easy? If I were a fan and you lost by four because your guys were taking half court hook shots during warmups and texting instead of boxing out, I'd 1.5ball you too!

Once I scored a basket that still makes me laugh.

Well, he took it easy too, so both teams were taking half court shots during warmups.. ;)

I guess that complaining helps...

Today my fan response for the game is 2.5 balls. ;)

If you remember me, then I don't care if everyone else forgets.

Everything you say makes total sense,
however,
perhaps your fans DID watch the game and...
were not impressed with your team's take it easy attitude
maybe they were thinking if you put in a little more effort, you would have pulled off a big upset!
They would not be wrong.
Bottom line, your team took it easy and lost a close one.

You realize you responded to a 3 year old post right?
