I completely agree with you. "Last game" effect is too powerful and should be reconsidered. I would like to add to this thread my deep disgust with the fact that winning Brazil Cup last season doesn't make any difference to my fans this season. Losing at the 1st round or winning the cup is the same for the fans in the next season. This sucks so much!!! This season I won't make any efforts to advance in the cup. My arena income drops much more than 50k if I lose my away game before a home game, so there is no point in advancing in the cup. OK, there is some profit when you reach semifinals or maybe quarterfinals, but reaching QFs/SFs depends so much on pure luck (due to random draws) that is better just focus on the league and forget about the cup. BB fans just don't care about the cup.
