Lost the last road game but attendance went up for today's home game. Don't ever remember fans were that forgiving. Anyone experiencing the same?

Remember home attendance is no longer solely based on your last road game....now its based on your last 3-5 games.

Since last season....I can't remember though if its based on the last 3, 4, or 5 games....but the formula factors in multiple games not just the last road game which drew the ire of many payers in this game. I am sure the formula still emphasizes road games to some extent, but not like in the past where your attendance an go from 90% to 65% with a single road loss.

based on my last regular season games last season, i think the record of the opponent is somehow factored in, as well.

Yes Hassan, there is a connection to opponent's strength (though not sure if it's just all about record) in my experience.

Thanks Jase for info but somehow I remember that rule change started before season 28, maybe it began in ss27 or earlier. Can't find the announcement to verify it. If it did start last season than it probably explains why I didn't notice it ... I was on promotion bonus most of the season.

Hmm. Well I didn't really lose many games last season in USA and Utopia, so that would explain why I never realized it was happening. This was a much needed change. It opens up a lot of options for teams, such as rebuilding without relegating. As well as Cup runs more fun. Extra 50k from winning felt pointless when you tanked the road game to save GS and saw the next ticket revenue be in the toilet.

Love it.

This is the first time I've got a PR guy better than Basic. I'm tanking, so I figured might as well see if an Exceptional PR guy would help makeup lost revenue. My merch continued to drop, yay. Hopefully increased ticket sales at least make up for his salary, otherwise...what's the point in them exactly?

i am trying to figure a scenario in which "rebuilding" does not become synonymous with "buying veterans whose shelf-life is expiring". the short answer is, i don't see an alternative.

But sometimes you can't find veterans that fit your skill needs for a certain salary, so you've gotta train one up to fill that hole.

Basically I view anytime that you're training more than 1 player, it's a rebuild. You can't just give both trainees Cup/Scrimmage minutes for 1 position training. A trainee would have to go 48 in league play. That'll cost the team league wins, and used to cost them ticket revenue. Now ticket revenue won't be hurt as much.

You can buy someone whose already semi-trained and 22-23 years old who can contribute in league play as you round out their build, but those guys will be expensive.
