I have a question, if you look at my last 2 home games, you can see that
- I did not change prices
- I won all games in between
- Did not sell nor buy anyone: no player, no staff member
- The only change is that I built a few boxes (3)
- The last team I faced at home was in a better ranking than the other

the result is that I sold less seats!
same boxes
-5 courtside
-132 LT
+68 bleachers

I read somewhere there is no random in attendance calculation
is there a reason, or is it a bug?

Exactly! that's what Perpete told

(http://www.buzzerbeater.com/community/forum/read.aspx?thr...)

If two teams were to do the same thing at the start, they would have the same results in their arena. Of course, not two teams start alike. You buy players, you sell players, you win or lose games. However, there is no luck of the draw for the arena.


a couple more observations:
- I had a little increase in the fan survey (half a ball in the "no players sold" part)
- I undersand the increase in bleachers, not the loss in the other seats

I already read your thread, all of it

I agree, the fan thing and the attendance calculation are bad features, also a lot far from what happens in RL

BUT I'm not talking about that, you told enough, what else could I add? :-)

I'm asking the reason for my little loss, to understand if there's a bug and, if not, which is the fact that caused the loss
Not for the few money, just the curiosity to know what is hidden behind

If we had a new BB dev he sure could find an answer ;-)

There are updates that run between matches which affect fans which take into account things that happened long ago or have calculations that fluctuate over time, so even with no direct interventions from your side, it is actually quite normal to have fluctuations in attendance.

I see, thank you for answering

I understand you can not disclose too much details :-)

it's also nice to note that, when a deterministic system is complex enough, some sort of casual behaviour can happen!
