I was under "fan boycott" last season, i was tankingn therefore the flag was not false. This season I started with the flag Fan Boycott "on". Should it be reset for a new season ?

Putting this as a bug, as i saw nowhere that this was set to continue from one season to another.

No, sorry, it's not resetted

I addition to that, i have two more issues.
Today's survey shows that i'm still being boycotted even though i won yesterday and the reduction percentage is stated as 18%, while i have over 10mil in funds.

The boycott is being gradually reduced after each home match, having one win does not erase it.

Isn't that the case, when you continue to lose, because the fans "cool down"?
What's is the difference between winning and losing then, in any given third of the season(not the next one) that started with a fans boycott?
Do the fans cool down faster and/or more if you win?

This is absurd. And that will be my last three words on this.

If you've tanked(or just haven't won in) tha last third of the previous season AND get relegated, come next season do you get both fan boycott due to tanking and attendance penalty due to demotion or is it all calculated under the boycott rule?

And of course people do not want to come and see the new number one draftee of the last division and a team that is sound in the current division. You have to stop putting thoughts in other people minds.

A don't know if my draftee is the new lebron james or benett but this is also the way the NBA is today. Do not forget that the prices are already being lowered and that there is other algorithm in place to impact a team that was demoted.

I answered because i have respect for you Perpete. I would not have answered to the two previous staff member, and will go back to my hibernation state.

Win or lose, it doesn't matter, the way things are now. It would stand to reason that the fans would cool down more if the match is a win though, so I'll take that suggestion and run it by my colleagues. We may even implement it soon enough.

Same here, i'm shocked that boycott goes on from one season to another.
IRL, when teams make some movement during season end, fans come back.
At least at first game, just to see if their team deserve it this season...

By the way, I have to endure boycott + no games at home since one month (last season ended with two games away, and started this one away). I also found this unfair, but that's random.

I think boycott is a good thing against tanking.
But if a team tries to stop it, you should not blame it anymore on new season.
That's not what happens IRL. Especially if you do not take into account wins !
See an example of a team struggling half of a season, then suddenly started to win 4 in a row.
Be sure that next home game attendance will be maxed (or so). Everyone would like to see this change.
With the current system, assuming you have max boycott(20% last season), you have to wait for 7 games (for 20%, or 10 for 30%) at home before bringing things back to normal.

Plus one question to end this, that is not at all explained (or I have misred?) What about cup games? Same thing IRL, a team that is struggling in championship but that is good in cup keeps its fans...
Are cup games taken into account?
If you play at home in cup, does it decreases boycott?

thanks for answering
