I think this is a fantastic idea. Well done.

It would obviously need some tweaking, and the BBs would have to iron things out, but the Fan Survey really does need to be looked at and it's the easiest way to reduce (read: not eliminate) the issue with tanking.

And you said you hated Hattrick!!! This is a huge feature in hattrick

These are the FAN MOOD levels there..
(the best)
Sending love poems to you
dancing in the streets
high on life
delirious
satisfied
content
calm
disappointed
irritated
angry
furious
murderous

and if you are losing in Hattrick...fans leave your fan club...

Fan mood exists in BB. It's called "fan survey".

"I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve."

No, it's not. Just because it doesn't function the way you think it should doesn't mean that it's broken.

If a team loses intentionally most of the season, then starts to win again, the fan survey assumes that fans will flock back as soon as they start winning again.

You can lose most of your homes games, yet win most of your away games and still bring in great crowds. Oh, yeah, fans will love to see a team that almost always loses at home.

Broken...

No, not really: you have three components that are affected by losses, TV games, rival games, last game, and overall performance in current season. You'll need to fix all four before fans "start flocking back".

And there's also last season, which holds your fan survey down for weeks (if you were a losing team the previous season).

It's absolutely not as quick and straightforward as you're trying to make it look.

You win half of your games, you're an ok team. I don't see how that's broken.

..yet they treat you like you're contending for the championship. Nevertheless, few fans want to go to see a team that loses all their games they go to watch, whether they are a 500 team or not.

...exactly. All you have to do is make sure you win in the TV game, against your rival and in the last game before your home game. It sounds difficult to do, but it actually isn't due to enthusiasm, minute managing etc. More straightforward than you make out that it isn't.

It is broken no matter what you say.....
Example; I was 4-0 and I play my rival on TV(he too is undefeated)..I lose in a close game but 18.640 fans show up...after that I win 3 more in a row (not including my cup wins)and now I am 7-1 but only 17,417 fans show up to my home game tonight.. Now why is the Fan survey still punishing me sooo hard for that one loss?
And the team I lost to is still undefeated. You think they would take that into effect, it isn't like I lost to a bum. You would think that the fans would soon start to forget about the loss as their team keeps winning. Kind of like the disappointment would be overtaken by anticipation as the time gets closer to the next meeting. same with the TV game...The fan survey needs a major overhaul in my opinion.
