The first game of the season is always the lowest attendance for teams that had a great previous season. The reason for this is that the promotion boost doesn't seem to kick in properly and some of the variables that you had worked up quite high last season are reset and dropped to their default values. After a match or two, they bounce back. Not ideal behaviour, I agree.

There are a number of factors that affect attendance, and your drop is barely noticeable. It might be due to the fact you sold a player before, but other things might have an effect too.

The fan survey and attendance code is constantly being improved on, but as any complex system, it's hard to anticipate (and prevent) all situations.

I understand it is complex but it should follow a logic though.

I did not have any drops after I sold a player but I had it this game, right after the ASG, and I feel like there is always some sort of (unplanned) drop in spectators' "enthusiasm" because of the FS update on Wednesday without any games being played.

Plus, it comes right after I got the lead in my league and if that does not fans... well, it is honestly weird.

Ultimately, I do not know if it takes into effect the hardness of the conference but it might be a good idea starting to consider it in both attendance calcs and weekly revenues for merch and TV contract as calculating them for the whole league is reductive since half of the teams in the other division in my league are constantly being reassigned and they have it easier than us in the league and can spend less during the season, bolster rosters in the last part of the season and even get to PO with higher TS... a fair system should take this into account, imho.

Hi and back again after the end of the league.
Here I'm with the last fan survey: http://www.buzzerbeater.com/team/79127/fanSurvey.aspx
or:

Estoy contento con el papel del equipo en la pasada temporada
3 3 3
Estoy contento con la actuación del equipo en esta temporada
3 3 3
El equipo lo ha hecho bien en copa este año

5 5 5 5 5
El mánager general hace todo lo que puede para intentar mejorar el equipo
2 2
En general estoy contento con la dirección que el equipo está tomando
3 3 3

By now, I only want to stress in two values:
· Team plays well last match of the league 1 ball, and
· last match TV 1 ball
that was the same match... and I won this 88-100

So, I keep thinking there is something wrong that keeps damaging my team because I've been having a low attendance the whole season and I've been the full time in the upper side of the table.

Let me know if you find this at least "mysterious and disturbing", and if you think it could be do something.

Regards...

I think a part of my fan survey is a bit weird. This is what it shows

The team played well in our last league game: 1 ball
The team played well the last time they were on TV: 1 ball
The team played well in our last game against Grindsted Grinders, our hated rival: 0.5 ball

#1 As I understand it, 'The team played well in our last league game' should only count regular season games, right? I won my last regular season game, and before I was eliminated in the semi-final, this category showed 4 balls.

#2 The category about the TV game also count playoff games, right? Well, my last playoff game was against my rival. Shouldn't the TV category and the rival category show the same amount of balls then? I mean, it would only be logical since it's the same game they are rating.

I'm honestly not sure whether this even is a bug or I just misunderstood something, but I thought I'd post it here to hear what you guys thought.

Hi all,
not sure about my last fan survey (06/21/2017).

"I am pleased with the team's performance this season": fan response 0.5 balls.
Shouldn't it be N/A since the season has yet to start?

Thanks!

Same here.

Me too. I guess we should have all won our last scrimmage.
