One thing I just noticed seems a bit off. After my second league game "I am pleased with the team's performance this season" was at 3 balls.

I then won a cup game and "The team had a good run in the cup this year" came up at 2.5, which makes sense.

The odd part is that after winning that cup game "I am pleased with the team's performance this season" dropped to 2.5.

It seems like the fans opinion on the season is a combination of the cup and the league, which is fine, but it seems very strange that a cup win could cause the fans overall impression of the season to drop.

Something strange about my fan survey. To the first question, about my results last season, after every game, they change their mind. Season 5 is over, therefore, this season's results shouldn't have any influence on this first line, no ?

Before the season started, I had 3,5 for "Last season". After a first victory, it dropped to 3. A second victory and it raised to 4. And a victory in cup made it back to 3,5...

Likely a result from surveying a different target group. It likely fluctuates around 4.5 and gets rounded up or down, respectively. It was already stated by BB-Mike that fan's feeling about last season don't change.

We'd like to let you guys know that we have made a very small adjustment to the way fans respond to the questions about your team's recent games (last game, last rivalry game, and last tv game). Beginning with today's survey, fans will be a bit more tolerant of close loses. The fans will also be applying the new standard retroactively when asked about tv and rivalry games that took place during the first week of the season. The magnitude of the change is no greater than half of a star in any scenario, and may not be easily noticeable. Nevertheless, we know that many of you are paying very close attention to the fan survey, and do not want this change to cause any confusion. We believe that this change will make fan behavior more realistic.

Also, there have been a few of complaints about the negative fan reactions to losses. Today's change is small and subtile, and is intended mostly to improve realism; overall, it does very little to reduce the negative consequences of losing. When face with low rating on the fan survey page, remember that the scores make full use of the scale, from 1/2 to 5 balls. For most of the questions, the average of all teams' scores is between 2 1/2 and 3 balls. High ratings are generally balanced by other teams' low ratings, and vice versa.

I'm curious about this too. I released a player who basically only ever played in scrimmages, and now I have 2 basketballs for the "familiar with star players" question. I can't remember exactly, but I know it was at least a 4 before.

im still wondering about my fans.
only 2 balls for my performance last season, i went up to first division made a good fifth place there and also went to the semifinal in the national-cup. thats deserves more for my opinion.

why cant there be a player indicator through which can affect fans reaction towards your team

an example is, if your the orlando magic during tmac's time when traded i heard orlando fans werent happy, to the point of death threats, fans lobbying in protest etc though they got was a star in steve francis and some other guys it took time to heal but not completely.

same goes to sacramento getting a new look by getting webber, divac, and the gang that lead the league in scoring.

for one player moving to another team that has a large impact, kidd was move to the nets. shaq moving to LA.

thats nba man, in here we got 40000+ teams and i dont know how many players...


anyway im still not happy with my fans...

well its basketball man!

imagine even a high school team gets a junior national team player in their program and into the team tell me how much impact would that be for that team.

though its an example the nba, but its baskbetball.

I think that your suggestion falls under the "...familiar with star..." when you sell somebody, and "...doing everything he can..." when you buy somebody.
