So...notice any difference in attendance?

With fan support exactly the same, my attendance is down 18%. But, two interesting points...

1. It was all bleachers (so Joe Schmo really would rather watch the game on his flatscreen!)

2. I didn't even lose 10k in gate receipts. (factor in the extra 30k I made in TV money, I'm up 22k more than I would have been with the old system.

Conclusion. I like the change.
Anyone else?

There should be no change in the attendance system, as far as I know this will happen at the start of season 10, so you'll still have to wait half a season.

Indeed, no changes have been done. We've taken bundesliga megarena and everything remained like last week. There is only Tall Black with huge difference but he lost with big gap the TV live match and of course with a lot of seats this kind of defeats give you a penalty (imho something should be done, this system is not good at all, imho).

The difference in attendance that you noted probably came from playing a team that had lost 4 games in a row. Actually, that team hasn't been winning very much recently.

The attendance at a game is influenced by the opponent you are playing. Of course, the success of your team is weighted more heavily but your opponent counts, too.

Reading this post leads to an interesting thought: why would the new TV contract change the level of attendance in every game if only 3 games a season are broadcasted live per team?

Perhaps they have some footage shown even if the whole match isn't broadcasted. Like in NBA Fastbreak, or something similar(BB Fastbreak).

Edit: ehrm.. I was to quick to answer, didn't read the question good enough. Attendance, yes, that's a good question... Perhaps every match will be available as pay-per-view? But then I want more money from TV revenues! no, just kidding, I don't want any money as long as people watch my games I am satisfied. But my accountant may have a different opinion.

I don't know but as written it should be a matter I'd like to see changed soon. If you have a defeat in the TV game your medium lvl of attendance will be lower that in case of victory. For a team like mine there is not a lot of difference but with big arena the economy will suffer more. Go back to your question the fans take in consideration only your LAST TV match, so if you win your average will be "good" till the next TV live.

For me BBs should cancel the TV live as parameter for the attendance, first because your opponent is decided by "random", second because the match itself has a random inside. Then the attendance should be calculated week by week and not match by match.
