Asunto: New Team

I just beat this team 24-0 in a league game. Now they have only been playing for a couple weeks and they get put into Div II. Is this right? If i started playing the game getting obliterated every week i might get a bit disheartened.

i beat him 10-1..but id be pretty upset if i kept getting destroyed every week

Yeah, we had an issue with new sides entering into II leagues instead of III because we'd recently dropped back from IV leagues (and under the rule they use, bottom 2 divisions accept new teams). This wasn't removed when we lost our IV division. Anyways, Minkee has already mentioned this and it has been corrected. New teams are currently entering into III and not II. Doesn't look like that user is interested anyway, hasn't logged in for a month.

Good to hear it's at least been fixed for future newbies coming in. I dropped my attendance prices this week & it seemed to help as the gate takings increased where I'm pretty sure, had I left it at recent prices, it would have been a lot less (as it has been in recent home games).
Will see how it plays with friendlies....but may be a case of increasing for midweek & dropping for league?

Reason you need to drop it for league is because your fan club size is probably shrinking and the opposition coming to your game have lower supporter sizes. Net result fewer people come at the higher prices. I've dropped my prices back and I'm now getting much better gate receipts. I don't think rising it for friendlies will help much.

Anyway the above methodology I don't think was confirmed but I'd guess since it's now been fixed (based from watching where the current new users have been allocated) I would assume it was something close to what I wrote above.

I'm dropping fans but not at the rate of going from 400+k to 160-200k. Wondering if anything's been done by the SK gods to change things after we were allowed to set our own prices?

Keep in mind that original prices were in the range of $10-$12, so you'd have attracted more fans to the game. Also if you take on sides with low supporter moods and low fan numbers you're going to attract fewer spectators too and as a consequence, supporter expectation plays a part. Season before you were up against sides with bigger fans and as a consequence people were prepared to pay more.

I'm not saying they haven't made tweaks (they may well have, I don't actually know), I just don't think they've been big tweaks.

At least last week was back to something like normality as far as the gate takings go. :-)
