BuzzerBeater Forums

all ratings in buzzerbeater are fractional i believe.

Not Staff - their levels are strictly absolute.

Juice is right.. i was wrong..

What do you mean by fan rating? You did not have full attendance is that what you ment. Feels kinda funny to help you as it is my first season here and you have been playing for many, but it seems that you lost 2 games just before your 27-th so two sectors that depend on winning went down, imo it's simple. When you won 2 games before the next home game you gained them back. Div2 team I'm a little surprised...

I'm not sure what you're trying to say here. I really don't believe that your fan survey should EVER go down—at least much— after a win. Now, on the other hand, it MIGHT go UP after a loss. Just my opinion...

I am talking about attendance.
Attendance was 11416 on 20.12.2008 this was after a loss+win (previous games) so attendance remained the same. You have to remember that attendance is influenced by league games only.
His next game was on 27.12.2008 following 2 losses (last home 20-th+away game 23-rd) that dropped his attendance to 9992. <-- I believe this was what he was whining about and thinking it was due to pr guy.
He won some games and his attendance is at the same level now.
Arena size and prices matter aswell. If you are constantly winning your attendance keeps constantly rising. If you are trading wins losses then there seems to be an small opponent influence aswell but it seems trivial (if you as leader play the bottom team etc.). This last point I can not confirm but it seems so as I monitor my league attendance a lot + cup games seem to suggest this also or perhaps cup rounds influence this.

I did, half a ball. Playing normal-away against Mots. I will kill my PR and put his head in front of my court...

And it fall when losing in the same condition (although against rival and at home) after three OTs...

And finally my fans do believe I will sell "my best players"... curious to know which ones indeed ;)

Agree with you: a win is a win, a loss can be either a defeat or not. My 2 cents.

well kukoc, i wil lbe happy to divulge more about my team than normal.

i previously had a level 4 pr manager. the match before saturday night, i had 4 balls in the all important final question "all things considered, you are happy with the direction of the team"

i won saturday night narrowly at home against a quality opponent

i consolidated my place in the standings and generally saturday would be a good result for me from all rational measures.

some funny things happened though, seemingly no relation to the match. my cup run question (Question3 ) went from 1.5 balls down to 1 ball

my "team played well last time on tv" question went down from 4.5 balls to 4 balls (my match wasnt on tv)

and my "overall i am happy with the direction of the team" went from 4 balls to 3 balls (harsh) after a win.

i was wondering if changing pr managers (since that seemed to be the only potential negative change) could have been teh cause, or if my fans were just overly liquored up. since juice has said you cant go from a pr manager with a 4.8 rating down to say a 4.1, i am still confused, but will figure this out eventually.

The fan survey takes a small sample of fans , so it can fluctuate week to week. This has been said many times, and it is in keeping with the overall "keep things hazy" approach to how the game actually works. Your best bet is not to put too much stock in the fan survey. Instead, view it as a very general assessment of how full your arena will be in the next game. Also, I think the overall rating is the one that matters.

imagine if we BBs had the same reaction to our users coming and going from the site....

"but we had a good week, we released a feature.. but yet visits are down 2%? wtf! there must be a bug in the users! stupid users are a broken system that makes no sense!"

;) i'm really just kidding around, mostly i just was amused by that thought and how accurately it sometimes reflects our hazy understanding of the ups and downs of the site.

Fan survey has a large variable and you can it keeps changing all the time. I have 8 wins in a row and it happiness with this season has varied from 4-5 balls. Yes dropping to 4 after my last win. I stopped looking at it some time ago (well I look at it but do not make any desisions on the stuff I see there). I have not changed my players (selling buying) for a month now but the one focusing on transfers is still wobbly and keeps going up and down.
So don't take these surveys too seriously (atleast 1 ball variable) and build up your arena instead.
