All right Thanks Marin !

Sorry, the show must go on. BB cannot be easily stopped and restarted, it might bring a whole load of problems.

No, sorry. If determined that the attendance is negatively affected by a bug, I might recalculate it later on.

And even if the first season games are usually bad (which is also a mistake in the algorithm in my opinion), this is ridiculous. I lowered my ticket price before the match today (because I lost the season opener and my last season wasn't too great). But there are still missing 2-4k spectators. That's 30-50k which I'm losing ... so please fix this as soon as possible. I guess you should have enough games (from last season and this season) to see what is wrong with the attendance numbers ...

I know, you've got a lot to do but since economy is a very important aspect of this game, this needs to be fixed very fast and permanently ...

Ridiculous attendance for me toi, please move faster on this, some of us won't support that long...

The problem is still there for me... 3 games with low attendance last season, + playoffs, and 1 game this new season. Each game I lose bout 30-35k. So 150k for the moment. This problem is ruining my economic strategy.

From my experience working in the sports industry and also just being a spectator, season home openers tend to have near sell out attendance regardless of the sport. Basketball, mens and women's soccer, hockey, and even our football team which was one of the worst the prior year had great season opening attendance reaching into the 90s in percentile of overall capacity. The next few games attendance has always varied after the results of the opener which makes sense. That's at the division 1 university level from my experience working. In spectating, I attend a lot of NBA, MLB, and major league soccer matches each year where iv noticed the same trend as a fan of teams in Detroit, Philly, and a couple other cities.

My team were runner-ups last season, and won the season away opener BUT still had relatively poor attendance for the second game of the season which was my own home opener and that doesn't make sense. Even if you take last season out of the equation, if everyone is reset to respectable game shape and team motivation level I don't understand how that equates to a bad game and lower attendance...especially the second of the two. No game receives more marketing than the first game when an organizations trying to set the tone for the rest of the season off of the fresh beginning.

That's an algorithm that needs to be reworked since it impacts every league level in varying capacities. The only teams that wouldn't care about this are the ones planning on tanking away the season anyway and sure enough they'll be complaining in the next season when they aren't tanking anymore.
