I do know the answer, but I'm not satisfied with it. It's the wrong answer. Fans shouldn't boycott because of a previous loss. How about I get rewarded for having a good season and competing in the playoffs? If I don't voice my opinion, no one will know how I feel.

Adjusting the algorithm to take in account more factors than just the previous game shouldn't be that difficult to do. I'm just hoping that someone who can change things will take note and do something about it.

I have not lost a league all season and did not sell out. The only blimp is I lost 1st week of Cup to a team whos salary was twice mine. I had hoped to up my tickets for finals. I saw a tinning increase from my last home game.

I'm not asking for an instant solution to the problem, but it would be nice to know if the BBs are at least looking into it or considering anything.

Fair enough. It's nice to know it has at least been thought about. I would be willing to develop a draft of a new algorithm if it would help get the ball rolling on this.

Maybe popcorn are not good enough in your arena, so fans stayed at home and watched TV.

If you really want to complain about the attendance, I would blame the general manager who didnt employ the right person to make popcorn nicely.

If you really want some people crying out loud, you should install several speakers inside your arena. That would be loud enough. Unfortunately, BB does not have that function yet.

HAHA...

I think you know your own answer here.

I lost my last game last season and knew what was coming, took my lumps and won't let it happen again. At least now you get half of the takings in your next game from a bigger Arena, selling more tickets, your poor last opponent gets gyped with a low paycheck from his one game.


It's still a badly designed game engine for it to work that way.

I understand that there might be a number of people that feel that it is not optimal and would love to see a change, and fair enough.

What I don't get, is how complaints spring up with so much gusto and blame towards a process or situation that the complainant already knew about, and because they didn't make the adjustment and suffered, they blame the process that is in place and not their own management of the situation (not just this example).

My point is that I knew about the drop in attendance in loosing away games, amounting to a drop in revenue, lost my last game of the season going into the finals (on a gamble), and took the hit, lesson learned.

Everyone has the right to voice their opinions for sure and offer some ideas or solutions (great job procta in this area) just, if you know the game works a certain way at the moment, manage it for now, use it to your advantage, learn from it.
