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?
