A player who is part of the club (equal a drafted player) will always get more attention from his fans, than a player with the same skills, that played for the club the same amount of time.

A promising potential straight out of the draft will get more attention comparing to one with a current better skill.

This attention is good, if that player is getting minutes and evolving, and bad if he is being thrown away or not used.

One last thing - like other affects on this game (like training) - the affect is expected to get lower as the draft player becomes veteran.
A team w/o a draft player will not get this extra X$.
A team with a draft player from current draft will get those X$.
A team with a draft player from previous draft (1 season ago) will get less than those X$.
[Two players means more income than this X$, etc.]

Fans are getting exited when they hear they got a good prospect from the draft.
They are get a "turn-off", when they are disappointed from the usage of the draft players.
Meaning - the income due to the draft players should be upon the potential (and current skills) they have, in addition to their playing time.

A player that comes from the draft will always get more respect from his fans than one that came (by purchase) from another team.
Not to mention, one that came from a hated rival team.

When "Greg Oden" had been selected in the draft, the fans had been thrilled.
When he got injured (again and again), the fans had been very disappointed.
When a good draft pick had been sold, the fans are also not appreciate the action.

Summary:
1) A good draft (calculated upon potential, and value) should lead to an increase audience and merchandise, as the fans are exited to see those guys.
2) When draft players are not used, the outcome will be the opposite.
Moreover, good draft that is not used, will lead to a much worse outcome than not using bad draft players.

This suggestion will also make the Draft (A main feature in BB-managing) much more relevant to all teams on every league and division.

fans are always excited when a good player arrived, if traded or drafted if he don't performs like expected there are dissappointed or when he is constantly injured. Thats not only depend on the fact if drafted or not, in my eyes.

But it is hard to predict the usage in advance, to get an realistic approach the fans could expect. And in the end, it is reflected in the team succes if they are happy with it they usually have enough player who vecome there expectations then disappoint there expectations(and succes is already in it).

1) I know that, but there is a big difference between:

"and also how many were drafted by your own team"

and to have the audience affect not only at the fact that you have a "zombie" in your team (one that is not playing at all, and/or has low potential), but at those two components - skill, and playing time.

2) There will always be a difference between a any player acquired by draft or by trade.

First, the drafted player is looked upon is potential to grow in addition to that he is YOUR "original" player.

And second, a player that had played at another team, and moreover at one of your hated rivals, will never get the same impact of a player who grew at your team.
Diamantidis will always be more appreciated in Panatanaikos than Batist, for example.

These exact parameters are already taken into account.

This effect on the other hand is not currently implemented (as far is known).

Edit. By this effect, I mean that rival's players are not hated more than other non-home-town boys. Perhaps they should, although buying a rival's player does not often happen in BB.

thats already the case, the player drafted generate more income then a player who isn't drafted, but the basic amount is calculated with stats, playing time and salary(~skill).

the lakers didn't saw Shaq as their kid, and nowe and nash would be popular in dallas if he was drafted by them like Kidd.

You are saying that the skill, and playing time of drafted players are already part of current audience and merchandise formula?
If so, than this suggestion is VOID.

And second, a player that had played at another team, and moreover at one of your hated rivals, will never get the same impact of a player who grew at your team.

This effect on the other hand is not currently implemented (as far is known).

So your first argument cannot be correct.
The parameters should not be "skills" and "Is he a Draft player" as two unrelated parameters but combined.

and to have the audience affect not only at the fact that you have a "zombie" in your team (one that is not playing at all, and/or has low potential), but at those two components - skill, and playing time.

thats already the case, the player drafted generate more income then a player who isn't drafted, butthe basic amount is calculated with stats, playing time and salary(~skill).

So it is not the current case.
The parameters of skills and playing time should have higher value for (your own) drafted players than any other player.

2) There will always be a difference between a any player acquired by draft or by trade.

Raul will always be regarded by the fans much more than Ronaldo in Real-Madrid football-club. As simple as that.

no if have an higher value on those player, i would guess around 150% of a none drafted player.

the difference is most likely that Raul, is a role Model, played longer there was an idol of there own NT and Ronaldo is seen as an arrogant actor for many fans. Raul is much more popular then Ronaldo, most likely everywhere out of portugal ... Even in Schalke(his new club) he is fan favorite, and is already more popular then Neuer was (even before their transfers) or Höwedes are even when they come from the club. Raul just have an excellent charakcter combined with skills.

So your first argument cannot be correct.

No, my first comment (not an argument) is correct.

My second comment was pretty bad because I did not make clear to what exactly I was referring to. The effect I meant is the rival effect. There is no negative impact in acquiring a rival's player when compared to acquiring the player of some other team.
