Or Season 66

Back in D3 after one season. Still in rebuild mode, so it won't surprise me if I go back down again. Still have a ways to go.

A couple of familiar faces. We have played HCS 11 times and Prairie Dogs 7 times. Galloping Sloths 4 times (in one season) a long time ago.

I just hope the fan base doesn't desert me too quickly. We'll get waxed right out of the gate.

One of the most annoying parts of this game is the fan survey / attendance relationship. If you don't have a large amount of cash on hand, a few losses to start the season can really be crushing, especially if you lose to your rival or a tv game.

I feel your pain

Tanked a couple of seasons ago to get out of a brutal D3 group. Unfortunately, I promoted right away. Fans were boycotting 2 seasons ago. They were happy last season. They are probably ready to boycott all over again. Fortunately, I have enough cash on hand to ride it out. And some of my trainees will be really good in a couple of seasons. But we stink now

My biggest gripe is that when things are going well, it's still hard to raise ticket prices. You can sell out the bleachers 3 weeks in a row. But if you raise the price 1 dollar, you get 60% attendance

I t seems like the ticket prices are controlled more by division than team success, which I can’t prove but anecdotally seems to be the case.

i've played this game a long time, I almost always ignore the ticket prices (probably to my detriment), back in the day, who knows if its changed, there was a secret formula for seat percentages... of course when you max out one, that all goes to pot. But the very fickle fan survey has way too much to do with the seat selling, based on top of a more solid Season ticket holder base.

100 percent agree about the fan survey. It has always struck me weird that single game results have such a huge effect on attendance.
