Well, because your PR guy doesn't have time to ask ALL your fans every time, the fan survey shows the feelings of just a small group of them. This time the group he asked was a bit more negative, but probably still gave you a 4.24 star rating for your perfomance this season. This is shown (obviously) as a 4 star rating where your 5 star rating was somewhere between 4.76 and 5.00. Therefore the differance could be just slightly over half a star and in the overall rating that wasn't enough to make your overall rating drop...

BTW nice job! :D

I've had four and three for a long time.

I keep my best players and add to the squad one or two players a season.

I don't think this is optimum - but it's nice to feel well balanced ;-)

Strange: my overall fan rating averages 4,5 balls; my highest single statement only gets a 4 balls rating?!?

I get 4 stars quite steadily for both:

I am familiar with the star players, and am not afraid that they will be transferred

and

The team manager is working hard to improve the team

I think that the first one might be influenced by the *presence" of star players. Players that play your every match and get *significantly* higher ratings than the rest of the squad and the rest of the players in your conference...

Also I'd think that if you transfer well performing players it'd go down, whilst it wouldn't if you sell rubbish players.

I think I remember the BB's saying that the "I am familiar..." is in some sort of inverse proportion to the "the GM is doing everything he can" so if one is high the other will be low. I guess the "all things considered..." is the most important and even if one of your individual issues is only one ball, the overall can still be five. At least that was the case for me until I got shellacked last game.


Then i think it needs to be renamed to something that reflects why the fans arent happy... even I havent juggled my roster as i used to and i cant get above 1 star (normally 1/2). Come to think of it what is the benefit of having a category that is essentially near on impossible to please the fans on?

There are many reasons that i havent seen touted around that maybe the reason fans are not familiar...

1) Maybe they dont appreciate squad rotation and expect the best 5 to play all the time.
2) Maybe fans dont like it when players are played out of their natural position (and therefore maybe underperform compared their expectations)

These would mean that anyone with a competitive team fighting to win multiple trophies would be penalised for having to juggle their minutes.

Maybe its just a case of any team without a real standout player(s) dont get the recognition for building a balanced team?


hmmm quite interesting analisys, it's a pity that we never know if it's true :(

The most annoying thing about fan survey and attendance i have found is the following:
If you are playing in a conference were there are several teams of similar potential, then home court advantage becames a critical factor, so it's usual that you win at home and lose playing as visitor, then you almost always will get low attendance, despite of you were classified 2nd or 3rd plsce because most of the time you will play home after losing a match

Not really. I usually sell just people who play scrimmage, but the rating is half ball.

I think that there is no association according to which players you are selling, so you can sell a last man in your squad and it will have an same affect like you were sold your best one

This is very helpful, thank you! I am one of those concerned about a very low "afraid-rating", even though I have hardly had any transfers at all lately. But I do indeed rotate for training purposes.
