Well done BB.

You tried something...it didn't work as planned...you listened...you changed/fixed...

+1


Isn't that the story of the game? Sooner or later those ill-advised, badly planned changes, that need like a dozens tweaks to somehow work as initially intended need to stop.

Frustration takes over, users quit this is a lose-lose situation

Cup, scrimmage and private league do not count though.

Not quite. More like this: They tried something. They were immediately told it was wrong and targeted people indiscrimately and not the people they wanted to target. They half listened. They reduced the effect. But its still targeting people indiscrimately.

To use a wolph like analogy, its like they bombed a village with a massive bomb to kill one dude and wiped out the entire village. Now they've changed it so they'll use a smaller bomb and only wipe out half the village.

No +1 from me.

No one can take only very good decisions.

The biggest problem is the timing of the announce. But, like IRL, supporters don't come to the game if they know their team will lose.

That isn't entirely true. The 76ers in full tanking mode season after season were selling out games against GSW, OKC, Cavs etc

Well, you're right, it depends on the away team. But this is already took into account by BB.

No, it would be if the boycott was included in the criteria for the fan survey. As it stands the boycott is applied AFTER all other criteria is accounted for including if you play the champions featuring the reigning MVP. So here you might get at best 50% of the maximum capacity (well now 70% after they started backpedalling and reduced the effect).

Please prove it. Otherwise I remain skeptic.
