I really do not understand my fans and i don't know what to do to keep them happy. I got my new team at the end of last season, and have managed to finish 1st in my conference with only 1 match lost. I also did quite a decent cup run: the fans were giving me 5 balls for the Cup run, today it's gone down to 4, although i got kicked out ages ago. Last week they gave me 5, and now they give me 4? Makes no sense.

hey also think that i'm not doing everything i can to make the club better. I have no cash, what do they want? Maybe if they filled up the arena every match i'd have some money to buy new players, but for now it's impossible. But of course they don't realise that without money you can't buy anything.

And what the heck...a new Club that wins 21 matches out of 22 should keep the fans quite happy. I do think the actual system is unrealistic and needs re-writting...

look at the fan survey, the survey ain't representory that means sometimes the PR ask more Fans who expect more Wins in Cup and sometimes you get a lot who are happy with the thinks they see(so different up to one Star are possible, mostly the failure ain't higher then a half one).

Also you don't need to have max every categorie, the owner thing + knowing the palyers in the rososter is nearly impossible to max both for example and even four stars in other categories are great - so don't worry when your arena ain't sold out and decrease the ticket prices when the fans don't fill your arena.

But what i want to point out is that the system is too extreme. Scoring only 2 for not doing enough to make the team better is extreme, this has been my first season and i struggle to get cash together, i have been able to buy 2 half-decent players and that's about it. The fans should take into consideration the bank balance before being so harsh. They should also look into what kind of trainer the team has, how much the club pays out in salaries and staff...because they all help to make the team better!

But i don't understand how the valuation of the Cup run can change all of a sudden, when it has been at 5 for many many weeks. Maybe you're right and the PR guy asked some demanding fans....but the fans should know that this was our 1st season in existence, so their reponse should be even better!

And about the arena, maybe i should lower the prices, but i prefer having a bit more expensive prices and not filling up than having cheaper prices and maxing out the arena (because i have the feeling i could be missing on some cash)

so why you arguing then over the not full arena, if you made the prices so that they won't fill it up ;)

And too stars are a bit less then average, for doing nothing it ain't that less and a 4 stars average in all categories is not normal even when it looks so in your rooster ;) I'm actually at 2 stars for the complete survey *gg

oh i'm not complaining bc they don't fill up the arena, but rather because they don't see that i don't have enough money in the bank account to buy players, and i think they should take this into consideration. Also that they should look at what sort of wages we are paying, both for players and staff (especially the staff, if you hire a good trainer and a good doctor, you are doing a lot to improve the team).

But i can't be unhappy overall, i score a total of 4.5 so i shouldn't complain. It's only that i see some illogical issues and i wanted to point them out ;-)

i am basketball fan of my own, but i cann't see how much they spend for their actuall rooster(ok that different in the nba) and in the Staff - so we are also complaining about hiring a new playmaker with no idea if the club could afford it or not.

oh the club (normally) has to make public their accounts to their stockholders, and more or less every fan knows more or less what sort of budget their team has, and how much money they have to buy new players

not real in germany, their are only lucky guess, you had some numbers about their etat but normally thats ain't the team etat(so teams with smaller etat could have more money in their teams, cause of cheapter arena less junior teams etc.) and the player salaries are also guesses.

Edit: and even the normal visitor don't know the bad guesses about etat ;)

ok fair enough, but normally in basket and other sports you know when your team is strong financially, or just a light weight.
And you might be right about the finances, but i still think that scoring only 2 in doing the best i can for the Club, when i'm on my 1st season, have won 21 matches, had a good Cup run, bought 2 players and pay a lot in staff wages (have a trainer level 5)...i think it's too unrealistic

buzt you normally expect that you have reserves ;)

And maybe they say X Y don't bring the effort, better kick him and buyin a new one.
