It's ten season I play BB, and I mostly like it. Still, lately the behaviour of my fans is really irritating, and are creating big issues to my economy.

Last season was my first in a III division, and I even reached the promotion final (losing). My fans are rating last season only 3.5 balls.
Last match I played with a much better team, away, with normal effort (the same to him), and I lost 95-110. It was a TV broadcasted match. My fans are rating that match 1 ball (as per the last match in TV, obviously, 1 ball).
I have a 3 level speaker.

I never complain about BB, but this time I'm really mad. I've lost enthusiasm due to this match, and now I get 2 matches at home that I will lose and I will not even get any real income (already worsening in the last 2 weeks).

Damn, BBs HAVE to fix this. Fans rating are really too erratic, the income of the stadium is inpredictable and in a "economy of survival" like the one in big countries this means life or death. It is not fair that the fan are NOT taking into account the strenght of the two teams and the season expectations. I mean, I lose by 15 and I get 1 ball? I get promoted and reach the finals and get 3.5 balls?

Come on, be serious. Where is this game going? Is there any development? Is there any bugfixing? I can't support with my money a game that is simply left to its own drifting.

Dude the fans in this game are EVIL. Season 18 my opening game was both a TV and a rivalry game against a team I had no chance to beat. I went for it but lost at his arena by 6. We didn't meet again until the 7th last game of the season so for the ENTIRE season I had between 1/2 a ball and 1 ball for both TV and rivalry game ratings. Then when we met again (on TV again) he beat me again. A whole season of surveys wrecked! Top that!

As I have observed in my games. If you want your fans to watch your game, then win the road games! Yeah so unrealistic, if I lose in road games, my attendance will dramatically drop. When I win road games before my home game, I usually get 480-500k income, but when I lose, it's only 420k-450k.

If you want your fans to watch your game, win the road games. lol.

1 good solution here is to replace the "The team played well in our last league game" to two types. "The team played well in our last league game at home" and "The team played well in our last league game at road"

Yesterday I Lost by 11 (-7 with 15 seconds to go) a TV game against my rival, on the road.
Normal (me) against crunch time (him).
Today I got 3 times 1.5 balls.

But honestly, I have lost hope to see real improvements in this game.
