Charles, this seems very odd:

After buying Baron, my "The general manager is doing everything he can to try to improve the team" went up to 5 balls. That makes sense.

However, my "I am familiar with the star players, and am not afraid that they will be transferred" went down to 2.5 balls. I didn't sell any star players lately, so what gives? (Unless Tyson Conrad was a star (ha!)...but he was sold over a week ago.

Just because someone buys a player doesn't mean their star player balls should go down. Wait until they actually sell someone!

Well, admittedly, you added a star they're not familiar with, right? So, they may not be afraid they'll be transfered, but they are also not yet familiar with Baron.

To continue fan survey complaints, Charles, how come my fans don’t recognise the CT against Ice?

My TV & rival ratings are both 1.5 balls (previously n/a) after losing by 2 points to the number 2 team in the world, at home & while trying as hard as possible. I suppose after having gone all out to win the rival game I am feeling a bit frustrated that, from my point of view, the fans aren’t showing any pride in the team after a close loss against a much stronger opposition.

As country & world ratings are now a part of BB, is it possible to include them in the fan survey calculations?



Ps. – I don’t want to read replies telling me that I got it wrong, should’ve TIE’d & been in a better position to beat LMA on the road next game.

First - I don’t care.
Second - grow a pair ;) (apologies to Sharon & moderators if this isn’t allowed, it is said in good nature – see the winking smiley face)
Third – We are all playing BB for ourselves, I don’t know about the rest of you but I want to win top division trophies & bragging rights. Having the same teams winning the league & receiving the BBB bonuses more or less every season doesn’t bring them back to the pack. These same teams being able to play tie & win basically EVERY GAME OF THE SEASON thus boosting their enthusiasm doesn’t bring them back to the pack.

I think it's funny that my team's "I am pleased with the team's performance last season" is the same as "I am pleased with the team's performance this season" even though I was 11-11 and made the playoffs last year and am a horrendous 0-5 this year.

For what it's worth, I don't disagree with anything you wrote. I understand why teams choose to TIE me, though, and if I'm honest, I take your viewpoint.

I should mention that I haven't offered a mutual TIE in the last few (4+ I think, probably more) seasons. I really dislike that aspect of the game.

I have a pair. They are about the size of tennis balls.


Not sure about the mods, though.

I did criticize a CT of yours a couple seasons ago, but this seems to be a different situation. An early season TV/Rival game is pretty big and there's plenty of time and cup games to make up that enthus.

im just going to ignore that and post this anyways

Is that because you haven't needed to? That last time you had any real challenge was season 7. You and Nth were like Celtic and Rangers that season. Since then you've won the league by 8, 7, 9 and 5 games clear of the #2 team.

Nobody loves that aspect of the game, but it's better then playing the moral card and then not being able to compete.

I know there are at least four huge Maurice Edu fans here, maybe more.
