Come on....this is way off topic....but I bet you if try real hard you might get out of Div. 3 next season.
Coming from a 41 user country manager. This seems rich:D

I dunno what the GMs did with the engine, the code, whatever, but it´s a total s***, especially in the crunch time.

I think you explained this perfectly LA-Kukoc

The initial observation was quite an interesting abnormality, and you explained all the circumstances which could possibly contribute to this abnormality, and because of this, ive just learnt so much about arena attendence that im bookmarking this for future reference. :)

I think the last game issue is a fair point. From a practical standpoint, it can be a big disadvantage for people who start the season playing away on Saturdays. Since home teams win ~70% of the time, this means a lousy merchandise income on Sunday + a lousy attendance for the home game on Tuesday. I recently played a game against my rival with lots of empty seats, regardless of the rivalry or my 100% home record. It's not the end of the world, but right now the last game has too much of an influence on attendance + merchandise, whereas it should be a more continuous function of your performances.

Imagine what would happen if Minnesota Timberwolves fans used their team's away games as a factor to go to home games :P

DIfferent fans have different priorities but I ahve never ever ever in my entire life heard a fan say 'I'm not goign tonight because they lost their last game'.


100% agree with this. Especially since people get tickets for said game for some amount of time before hand.

Recent win/loss record should count towards attendance, but trending over 3-5 games perhaps instead of just the last game. A great winning streak during the season, or similarly a run of poor play WILL affect attendance.

the drop off is exactly as planned to penalize those top teams from maxing their ticket price.

ticket price, suvery(result) , opponent is the key to attendance

the top teams always set the high price
and expect their high salary players can keep their suvery(result) good
and in this case even the opponent is the bottom of the div

all 3 elements is bad, why should the attendance maintain?

completely unrealistic.


And I like it this way. Have you been following latest NBA labor negotiations? Owners were seeking competitive balance, so small-market teams wouldn't suck so much when compared to LA Lakers and Chicago Bulls. In the end, they couldn't find it. Lakers, Bulls and Boston will remain rich and New Orleans, Minnesota and a handful of others will remain "poor".

BBs don't have to put up with owners-union disputes, so they can create the BB world in such a way we have competitive balance. For this to happen, they have to resort to some unrealistic methods that wouldn't work in real life. But tell me, do you really want to be a Minnesota-like team and never in 100 seasons have a shot at winning anything while watching those Lakers being champions again and again? Tell me honestly if that would keep you in the game only because it's realistic.
