Subject: Supporters Mood Dropping...

What you describe is pretty much what the new system brought in, the only difference being the base level of 4. That might be a better way of making the mood changes less drastic but I guarantee you would still get people complaining wrongly that either they couldn't move from that level whatever result they got or that they couldn't reach the top level :)

There will always be people complaining, but we all know one thing for sure: the current system is definitely very bad. You don't have to listen to those people, listen to us! ;)

yup, that is what i mean.

You never can never satisfy all people. But that is no reason to let something bad as it is ;)


(I do not have a problem as i am a newbie, but i can definatly see there is something realy wrong in te system.)

my supporters are furious since the beginning of previous season :)

this is very illogical for a team playing in the highest league of its country which finished the league 4th :). the game sucks day by day...

i won 16 games from my last 18 (i had one draw and 1 loss - long time ago in juniour league) however my mood never went to 7 but stayed 6......today i lost a friendly 1 nil after having 2 players sent off in the first 11mins (14 shots against 2) and HELLLO HELLO....my supporters mood dropped to 5......as you said this game sucks day by day and now I hope I wont have my sponsor money deducted or losing supporters after this silly non sense thing cause I decided to remove my team otherwise cause this is far from realistic and its is rigt that a lot of people are getting angry with these things especially with the lot of time we spend on teh game and paying the MARVELOUS plus!

the same thing i had too 19 shots against 2 and i lost 2-1 and my mood dropped from 5-6 to 2 :|

ps

mate in football the nr of shots doesnt mean the win of the game ;)

I know ...i am not angry cause I lost....i am angry cause for a silly friendly I lost after a long long time my supporters mood drop...that does not make sense not the facet that you receive two shots and lose

I've had a pants season too. Been top of my league most of season, yet have lost fans - and have one of the smallest fan bases.

It's hard to make the formulae clever enough but it feels slightly incorrect.

At least fans should get reset towards the middle at the start of each season - optimism on new season - maybe except those that got relegated or promoted :)

I'm second in the 2nd easiest league in our Division (out of 4), yet I'm gaining fans when I'm 2nd (2 points off of 1st).

I did get promoted 2 seasons ago.

Don't play friendlies against new teams- you need to win by a lot (and definitely not lose) to keep your fans happy. In general it's not enough to just beat teams much weaker than you- you need to win well to keep your mood up.

what? and how the new teams goes??? ah Ok that is not our problem...

The new teams can play against similar teams :)

I think the rapid change of fan mood is spoiling the game a lot, & I don't like it. In HT the fan mood changes, but it doesn't have a huge direct and immediate impact on attendances at home matches. The rapid fluctuation of fan mood directly linked to home attendance is killing the game for me. I am lucky my fans are happy atm, but it will change as soon as we lose, & our income will plunge once again.

what do you expect from All Black fans? ;)
I agree fanmood sometimes behaves weird, but it should be both in your advantage as in your disadvantage. And youre in the 2000+ part, so you shouldnt suffer that much:
To give you the theory (copy paste from a dev):
- average supporters mood of all teams is 47.59 (0-100) (lower than 50 is because old bots, in countries with full leagues mood is ~50)
- for teams with ranking over 2000 average mood is 59.54
- for teams with ranking over 4000 average mood is 63.21

so better teams has better mood, definitely not mood problem. There is no major (or even minor) problems or bugs about mood system currently, why to blame mood on everything?

What this game lacks is the principle of reversion to the mean

ie form, moods, etc should have a tendency to move towards the middle.
it is common in calculations in oHTer games

This would solve the problem of moods and form sticking to the top or bottom
