My fan survey results keep deteriorating even when nothing is happening to affect it.
For instance, right after I got disqualified from the cup I had 3.5 stars for cup run. However, every couple of weeks after that I kept losing half a star.
For fans being familiar with my team, about 3 weeks ago I got to 1.5 stars. Then it suddenly dropped to 0.5 even though no transactions occurred in that timeframe.
Finally, I was eliminated from the playoffs after the first round, after which point I had 3.5 stars for team performance this season. My season is pretty much over, but now I only have 2.5 stars for team performance this season even though I haven't played any more official games since then.

Here's a scenario for you
I was coming off my biggest road win in seasons.
I was playing my rival with a chance in the final week to finish first.
I went down 2000

My Fan Survey got worse again, even though I haven't played any competitive games since last time and the season has been over for me since after the 1st round of the playoffs.
Specifically, "I am pleased with the team's performance this season" is now down to 2 stars from 2.5 stars last time and 3.5 stars when the season officially ended for me.

I am a newly promoted team to D.3 and finished the season in 4th place, and lost the first playoff game.

Full disclosure, the statistics are not helping much, so I've decided to open the issue to suggestions. I've added a attendance averages table to the (/community/overview.aspx)


It looks like the overall attendance numbers didn't change much, so if there was a bug, it only affected a few teams. My suggestion would be to look at only those teams whose attendance was significantly down in the last few regular season games, as compared to their season average. We'd expect these teams to have done poorly in the later half of the season to explain their bad attendance. However, if you find that in general, these teams didn't do badly, then it could point to a bug somewhere.

I know for me, I won 8 of my last 10 regular season games, yet my attendance dropped dramatically. By the last game, it was down 100k to what I was getting earlier in the season. It was as if I got hit with a fan boycott.

I noticed during this time, Fan Survey results were much lower than expected so my guess is that when you recalculated the Fan Surveys, earlier season results were somehow over weighted, while later season results were under weighted or even ignored. This might also explain why only some teams seem to have been affected.

OK, some really good suggestions here. First of all, I agree, the fan survey is the cause, so I'll take a look there first and foremost. I'll try the other suggestions when time allows it.

Drop 30k from last game with lower prices Marin, playing with similar teams and fun survey.

I don't find it normal so if you can please have a look and if it us wrong please fix it.

Best Regards
