Would you be so kind and read the whole thread maybe..Cause I sure did and noticed the name of the thread (that is the first thing that someone notices) then your whining after someone explained it rather nice that you being 6-1 does not make you guaranteed attendance.

You paying MONEY (note that I did not start the caps thing so don't blame me for loving caps - its your decision) does not make you better - the fact you paid money is your own single and personal choice. It does not come with increased benefits. Did you not see my question - why did not you resolve it with the developers - who have shown time and again that they are helpful enough - so the matter is quietly solved. But instead you chose to put your observation of how "This game is getting worse by the season" ....

As for the name calling , grow a pair and read your previous post. If you do not find it insulting, I don't know what exactly you will find insulting.

I would kindly suggest stop the conspiracy theories and supporters having additional rights and privileges and being more picky. And next time publish threads with nicer names. The one you published was basically "Open for flaming".

If you don't like the game - quit it.


P.S Since the original poster claims he got his answer let him have the right to a final answer and then lock this thread please....

You are wrong...It comes with Private Leagues, Hall Of Fame, Bookmarking...Lot's of bells and whistles..
why did not you resolve it with the developers - who have shown time and again that they are helpful

That is why I posted it in the HELP FORUM....The BBs and GMs usually read the Help forum.

What????? What does Grow a pair have anything to do with anything? See, all males have a sack with a pair inside..( well, Lance Armstrong only has one)
If you don't like the game - quit it.

Why would I quit? I love this game...I even just extended my Supporter to help(hopefully help pay the salary of a new BB) make the game better.
And come on...Even know I may have made a mistake with the thread title..But the game itself has been running worse than it has ever run..Every week the training is delayed, it gets really slow during game times...Like I said...Just observations..I support the game because I want a better product(I also love Private League games). So, YES..I have gotten my answer...Lock it up!!

Sorry, I was a little jumpy due to the title.......

I know full well what Supporter comes with..Been there :) My private league matches should have pointed that out :)

Please accept my apology if i was being somewhat rude. No hard feelings. But next time choose a somewhat less conflicting title :)

You may have a point that this is getting worse - as someone said plenty of reasons to choose from. Somehow I dont believe BBs would do such thing as to secretly reduce attendance. But who knows , stranger things ahve happened before.

Peace...Lets resolve it peacefully and move on.

And lock this one !!!Unless a BB wants to confirm (or deny) attendance drops for this season :)

Btw it is funny if you lose in the second round of the CUp to the last three times winner of the championship the attendance does drop :)

yeah...No hard feelings. All is well...

I also think they should have something in the fan survey for strength of opponent who you lose to in the cup( like for every week the team you lose to in the cup stays in the cup your fans should be less angry), but that is one for the suggestion page.

My next homegame(next Tuesday) is against another playoff team and I will be 8-1 when we play, plus on a two game win streak, so I will see if it jumps back up. I still think the computer gives to much weight to the game before..but like everybody says...Win and they will come!!!

Well there are economic issues of the game that need to be fixed, certainly.

As the game is now, i think it doesnt take strength of opponent (country rank) in to consideration on the fan survey which affects your attendence.

What makes people play around with the cup games is knowing that the main punishment for losing in the cup is the loss of cup revenue. You beat a bot by 20, the fans survey just sees win.

What would be nice is if an upset of a team ranked 3/4 spots ahead of you caused a spike in revenue.
It would also be nice if the fan survey reflected WHO you lost to and not only that you had a disappointing cup run.

The cup draw is random. Beating 6 5th division opponents is not as difficult as playing a top 5 team in your country to a 5 point loss.

When an underdog barely loses to a strong team, that should actually spike revenue in my opinion.

I think if the game were to reward close losses and punish blow outs,

1) you would have fewer teams tanking.
(you should not be making big money JUST because you are in the first division. if your point differential is worst in the league, you shouldnt make still be making 500k a game. Take that incentive out of the game with tanking teams getting big money and you would have teams fighting for the MONEY)

2) you would have underdog teams considering the CT more often.

(just because you feel you cant win, you should still have incentive to challenge. In too many leagues, the game is a mere formality. If i know playing the top team to within 10 point is considered more than a 50 point loss, im going to try. If they are the same, I like many others are thinking about training.)

When i play a team in the cup that says "managed my a computer player", it treats that win the same as a win over a top 5 team in the country.

The revenues for games should me smoother. on a gradual ascent, a gradual decent or more or less even. If you have a good team, revenues for he game should be more so determine by the home team, not the visitor. I could see slight decrease based on opponent, but if you are averaging 480k per game, on a weak game after a bad lost, you should at worst see 440/450.

On the other hand, if you just had a historic win or an upset, why shouldnt your revenue spike upwards for on game? If i beat the number 1 team in the country, why shouldnt my next home game set a record?

I see what Kitakyushu is trying to say.

We should be able to predict these gate receipts within 25k + or -. when its more than that, that make it hard to "manage" a team.

Somebody let me a hold a no. 2 pencil cause they testin' me.
