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.

the think you miss, it that you often had the oppurtunity for an extra tie, or relativ hopeless away games + decent chanches to win the cup makes it quite attractive at least for me. Even when i often choose the minimun way and make to less.

An easy solution here (to clarify, conceptually easy, not implementation easy) is to either replace or supplement the "last game" effect with a "last home game" effect. Or split "last game" into last home/away game categories.

This even makes since, since only 3 games/season are on TV, it's the last home game that fans will mostly remember.

Because his prices are set for D.IV and he's playing in D.II. Those are bargain prices.

Yeah, I get that, but still, come on, just look at his records. Do you really think they vouch for 20K sold out arena against an opponent who holds the worst record in the league(?) even if at discounted price?
Also, look at this game (39457068). 8609 people in attendance? For what? To see 3 scrubs on the floor? Even if admission to that game were free - so, not just discounted, but completely free - no one would go to see that game, and yet 8609 people did; my point being - both in my first post and this one - yes, there is something wrong with this attendance formula, and yes, something needs to be changed.

i believe that would be a fine solution, cause the away games are really less in mind. And those team who make a journey throguh the country to see them, will most likely come again after a desastrous game too.
