There is an announcement that there will be an adjustment on the match revenue. But I didn't see there is any fair adjustment on my team.

I am not a relegation team nor promoting team, and I'm a PO (1st round) team, so logically, my spectators should not have big afftect. But when I face a same team (51382) in this season, my spectators drop from 10022 to 8791 which is a over 10% drop. When I go to the 2nd home game, my spectators are still dropping, is there any bugs here?

My ranking in this season also don't got any drop and maintain stable, also I didn't raise the ticket price, so what's the reason for the spectators dropping.

Hi,

There is nothing wrong with your revenue. The adjustment can be found in the economy overview and is called "GM Issued Fine"

Regards,

I didn't say no adjustment, but no fair adjustment.

Since my spectators drops significantly but without any special reasons, and some teams in my league got rising but they have poor performance than mine.

It's not unusual that attendance shows a drop in the first few weeks of the season compared to the playoffs. There can be numerous reasons for this, and most can be found in the fan survey.

For you case it can be losing the match before the first homegame for example, and losing to your rival in the match before your second game.

So, that means if the 1st match in the season is visiting, it would be completely unfair to that team.

Yeah, it kinda sucks being on the road first, but it's not as bad as it seems. I made 168k in my first game this season, as compared to 196k the second game. If my first game had been away, I could have made probably 20k more in my second game, which would have been my first home game.

How come it is fair for my team?

My team get a rapid rising in ranking this week from 4311 to 3934, but my attendance dropped rapidly from 8877 to 8179.

Compared with the team in the same league Bald Eagle (51472), his ranking rise from 3854 to 3439, his attendance rise from 7725 to 9088 this week and his opponent is only ranking 11164, and my opponent's ranking is 4108.

So, can anybody tell me what's the reason if this is not a bug?

I've still got other samples for the unfair attendance if you want.

Also, comparatively with my last season, my income dropped seriously around 25%, but my ranking have raised over 1000 comparatively with the same period in last season. So, waht's happening?

The attendance at your arena depends on several factors, the away team is an important one.

Your attendance was 8877 against I.C.B.C., conference leader (5W, 0L) and 8179 against Miracle Dream (3W, 5L). If you didn't change your tickets prices, the difference in quality between your last opponents is probably the main reason why your arena attendance went down a bit. 700 isn't a huge drop, for your arena size, you can expect to see 1.5K drops in attendance.
Did you change your prices ?

Do you know if Bald Eagle has changed his tickets prices ?
His attendance was 7725 against BC Lorenzo (8th, 1W, 5L) and 9088 against Train Rockets (7th, 2W, 6L).
He has lost his last league game before BC Lorenzo but won it before Train Rockets, winning your last league game is a very important factor for drawing audience to your next game.
And it's only a guess but he has probably lowered his prices.

Last season, you were promoted as a league champion. As a result, you had 5 balls all season long at 'I am pleased with the team's performance last season' on your fan survey. It has helped filling up nicely your arena last season giving you a bonus on your attendance, I think the bonus is usually estimated around 15%. I believe it's a very important factor.
This season, I guess you have between 2.5 and 3.5 balls as response to that statement depending on the survey. If you don't have much better results than last season, your attendance lowers, the fan's excitement after your promotion has fainted, now it's again routine regular season games bla bla bla bla... except when I.C.B.C. comes around ^^ whoopa everyone wants to see them and their stars ;)

People don't come at your arena only for your team ;p Your die-hard fans come for you even in hard times but they are only 2k+, they are a small part of the attendance.
