An easy solution here (to clarify, conceptually easy, not implementation easy) is to either replace or supplement the "last game" effect with a "last home game" effect. Or split "last game" into last home/away game categories.

This even makes since, since only 3 games/season are on TV, it's the last home game that fans will mostly remember.

Because his prices are set for D.IV and he's playing in D.II. Those are bargain prices.

Yeah, I get that, but still, come on, just look at his records. Do you really think they vouch for 20K sold out arena against an opponent who holds the worst record in the league(?) even if at discounted price?
Also, look at this game (39457068). 8609 people in attendance? For what? To see 3 scrubs on the floor? Even if admission to that game were free - so, not just discounted, but completely free - no one would go to see that game, and yet 8609 people did; my point being - both in my first post and this one - yes, there is something wrong with this attendance formula, and yes, something needs to be changed.

i believe that would be a fine solution, cause the away games are really less in mind. And those team who make a journey throguh the country to see them, will most likely come again after a desastrous game too.

I'm against.

Lot of teams give up their away games(in competitive leagues), if you remove the negative bonus then most of the managers will just compete the home game&cup round, if not take a look in Spain Div II& 1, lot of teams doesn't try to win away.

This managers are playing catenaccio if you remove this bonus of attendance it will hurt the competition, since one of the encouraging thing of winning away is the bonus attendance

A lot of people have give up on the forums. I still care about the game, enough to not let it get ruined. A lot of the suggestions are similar to: Let's make cars with one wheel from now on. It would be cool and it would be fun and it's needed and that's a fact. I am able to also see what the changes consequences are.
