So let me explain why I think this. I start the season 6-0 and lose to another 6-0 team(who used more enthusiasm) and here I am sitting at 6-1 and my next home game 5000 fans stay home. It's not like I am on a losing streak. I mean come on...I went from 19,176 to 14,482, that is a little bit drastic don't you think. No fans would be that harsh...A big thumbs down from me...

I think attendance in this case has more to do with the quality of the opponent you meet. The less attractive your opposition is, the less people will go to see your game.

best way is to lower tickets to make sure they are always there. a bird in the hand is worth more than 2 in the bush

Yeah....I hear that, but a 6-1 team that hasn't had a losing season since season 9. Nobody finds this to be way to drastic?

Before you played the Small Town Operators, your previous 2 games attendance were 16877 and 16926. Lets say the average was 16900, then you played an undefeated STO and saw your attendance spike to 19176. Thats a difference of nearly 2300. Now your playing a team that has only won 1 game, and your attendance has dropped 14482. Thats a drop of 2400.

Seems right to me, your baseline is 16900. You play a good team, you get a 2300 bump. You play a lousy team, you see a drop nearly equal to that at 2400.

All is right in the world.

You are right but...It has gotten worse....Take a look at these two games...
Private League Final...(42221871) I was 6-0 in my league at the time...
regular season PL game with the same team(before the season change over)...(36144504)
same ticket prices and everything...3000 less fans...Something just isn't right

Here is another example....same team I played tonight..(39847787)..but last season..(36548585)..and last season I went into this game with 2 loses....tonight only 1...4000 less fans showed up....This is almost bordering on stupid...If they messed with the attendance code, I hope they would at least tell us..

In your first example, the first game you were both coming off of playoff wins. You upset the number 2 seed and Leones del Cinaruco won too. Why wouldn't more people show to a fictional game with free admission between, to play off teams.

In your second example, last season, Kanazawa Kings were coming off promotion. This season they are coming off of season in which they were nearly regulated. So they had fans last season, and this season they all left.

Are you serious.....The attendance in PL games are like any other home game except you don't get any money. The attendance is based on seat prices, winning/losing streaks, PR staff.
Free admission...if you think that you must be new here.

Private League games are not like regular games. That is a fact. You must be new here too, or to lazy to do your own research.

What is affected by Private Leagues?
Everything from outside the private league affects the league, but nothing from inside the private league affects the outside. What this means is that enthusiasm levels, injuries and game shape will be considered when playing your private league match. However, nothing that happens in the private league match will be used for your team. So enthusiasm won’t be affected, you don’t get any income for winning or playing at home, your country and world ranking isn’t affected and it will not count towards minutes played for the week. This means that it doesn’t affect game shape and minutes played do not count towards training. Players can be injured during a private league match; however, as soon as that match is over the injuries will not carry over to the league. So if a player is injured in a private league match, he is only injured for the duration of that matc

Did you really just post that.....
I know PL games are played in arcade mode....come on....a bit slow are we?
But..we weren't talking about injuries and minutes. We are talking about the attendance code written into the game.
Attendance at any HOMEGAME is effected by prices, PR staff, Winning and losing. EVEN PL games.
PL game against a Div.3 team.....(88619)
PL game against a Div.1 team.....(36144411)
so why such a bid difference if the tickets are FREE as you say.......I can tell you...The attendance code is still calculating on what the attendance should be when all the things that effect attendance are taken into account. The only difference is that there is no money for the Home team.
Lazy I'm not....Not too bright...you are!!!
