Actually it does not speak only about the transfers, instead it says that:

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

So it could be that you have no clear star players, and therefore your fans are not "familiar" with them.

My team only got a 3 even though I have not sold a player the last two months, and I have never sold a player that plays considerable minutes. On the other hand there is no clear star in my squad either, so this might be the reason for the lower grade.

I got a 1/2 ball on that one.

Sold a player for 7M last season, could be it.

Though I do feel veeeery uncomfortable about being punished for something that I couldn't calculate.

These are interesting suggestions. I do have a 25k former NT center, but part of the low balls there could be the fact that my best players average less than 30 mpg because of training.
Actually this would make a lot of sense to me. I mean if the Lakers would let Kobe Bryant play "limited" minutes to give some backup the opportunity to train I think Lakers supporters would be dissapointed. In the long run it could still be a good strategy of course, but still it would not be the optimal strategy to please your supporters short term.

It would be interetsing to hear from others with limited transfers and low grades if limited minutes on their star players could explain their grades.

punished is a strong word. We're all reacting to the first calculation. I do not like the word punished in this scenario.

Just as long as we keep sharing information, we can reveal more about how the new system works and how to improve our attendance.

This is interesting. I have only 3 balls for transferring players, despite the fact that I only have 4 transfers in the last 4 weeks, and my start players have been on my roster pretty much since I started playing 2 seasons ago.


Well, this (and some recent posts) leads us to the point that this feature is not only a quantitative one but also qualitative. Wow.

I would love to know what a star player is too? I'm thinking minutes and his stat line are the two main factors. i.e. your leading scorer, or leading rebounder for the season perhaps?

where were your 5 loses, at home? that could play a part too.

I went 20-2 and won the league. I got 5 stars. Maybe 20 wins is the bar, or maybe it is a trophy. If that's the case than 5 bbs would be like a HoF player, kind of rare to get, and 4 bb would then be considered excellent.

Defining a star player is not easy, but if I would make a guess it is reasonable that they have tried to mimic real life. In other words a star player should stand out from the rest in the team on the filed (e.g. better shooter or defender than the rest), also getting the MVP honours should be a clear advantage. I also think that salary should be taken into account as supporters probably expect your best payed player to produce the most. I mean if you have a player that earns a lot, but does not perform your supporters would probably be unhappy about the situation.
