From my experience this season (my situation).

At the mid season update I bumped up my prices and downgraded my PR guy (from Competent NA to Basic) to see if I could notice any real difference , the effect of this was a drop from 100% attendance to as far down as 68% even though I was winning the whole Div and was playing the other top ranked teams in the Div. I won all the away games, TV matches, Rival games etc.

In the wash up I think there is a link with PR guy (and Specialty), pricing and records. I went back and got a Competent National Appeal guy and scaled back the prices (but still higher than the first instance) and now I am back to 95%+ and have played much weaker teams.

I think now I will stick to the Competent PR + NA as it has also put my Merch back up a couple of grand. I am not sure if this is all info I should have known (I'm willing to admit I don't know everything/ a lot on BB) , but it was good to test it out and see the effect it had on my situation first hand, lesson learned I guess.

You have to stop looking at cup and other stuff when looking at the "pleased with the...." parameter. It only looks at your record this season and not if you had long winning streaks or have a weaker team then the rest.
And if you read the info on the fan survey page it also says it does not have to be a very accurate tool to see how your entire fan base think of your team.
However if the merch and attendance is affected by the shown rating or the actual feeling of your fans is the real question here. And that's something we probably never will get an answer on.

I only mentioned the cup because the only game I've lost since the all-star break was the cup final.

That's fine if it's not completely accurate as we all see fluctuations but I've never seen those fluctuations go from 5 stars down to 3 stars without any negative influences pulling it in that direction.

Also if it only factors in this season's record why was I was getting more stars when I was 7-5 then when I finished the season 17-5? My confusion is on why is the rating getting significantly worse as my record continues to improve? What have I done to negatively effect it?

Fan survey is bugged, accept it. I sold my two best Players a few days ago and the "Star player" category went from .5 to 4. Last season I bought a good SG, the same category went up from .5 to 4 only to Fall back two days later. Too random...

As expected it went down to two balls today.
