Everyone is definitely a bad idea that only increase inflation..
I have a hypothesis that teams who had a league promotion bonus in tickets last season are more likely to have this bug.
I am not sure if this is true.

I was a newly promoted III. league team last year and I think I experienced this bug several times.
I am a newly promoted II. league team this year and I don't think I have experienced it. (Although I'm kinda disappointed about fans' price sensivity since we are back to back champions and the attendance never being bigger than 20500 for the last two seasons.)

At this point, I think we'll just have to let it go. Doesn't seem like there is a fair solution.

Overall attendance averages haven't changed, but some teams are complaining about significantly reduced attendance. That doesn't sound like a bug that's affecting everyone.

The problem is the bug might still be ongoing. You might not be concerned if it isn't affecting you, but for teams who are continuing to lose $50k+/game, its not good, especially if it doesn't get better.

An approximate fix seems simple enough: recalculate recent attendance numbers and find teams who have a big gap between the new and old numbers. These teams can then get a reimbursement based on how much money they've lost.

Also, I don't think its a good idea to forget everything and just work on new features like an app, when the game has been hit by so many bugs recently. First priority should always be to make sure the product is working and stable.

My main concern is that this bug continues affecting attendance. If it's not dealt with who knows how long it goes on. Since it's started my attendance has been $40-100k lower than where I expect it to be. It's recovered somewhat, but it's still low. That's why I'd prefer a recalculation of the fan survey factors because, if there's an issue somewhere that might get rid of it.

Yes, that was the plan. Sadly, I'm at the end of my wits regarding the cause of the issue. Since it doesn't seem to affect everyone it's super hard to pinpoint the cause. I'll probably just throw in the towel, recalculate one or two attendances of last season and move on. Hopefully, it will not happen anymore, but if it does, maybe it will shed some more light on the issue.

My involvement with the app has been reduced while I'm putting out fires here on our main site.
