Subject: Fan Mood Changes

Do you think the fan mood changes are fair & reasonable - & also encourage Managers to play Sokker?

I gotta say - the fan mood changes are total & utter crap, but that's just my humble opinion

I have argued that they are not realistic with the powers that be, but they believe they are - there is nowhere else to go with it. I find them a little ott the changes personally.

I've been fine with them, little annoyed that my loss in the cup cost me 18k in sponsorship money, but that's more a gripe with how sponsors work for me.

Being a Wolves fan it actually seems perfectly in correlation with real life.

My fans all seem to have bipolar :/

I think it's OK, just the odd game is strange.

i dont like the fact that if iam higher rated and i have just cleared out my trainees for a new set i get punished for losing matches when people play their first team dont seem rite to me and my fan mood has been diabolical for last 2 seasons lost me huge amounts of money

It is supposed to represent FAN mood! The fans want you to try to win and succeed, what is hard to understand about that?

Why should they be more understanding that you put out some 17 year olds and got thrashed than if you made a serious attempt - they just paid their money for tickets and you insulted them by putting out the kids

And this way you have an actual decision to make: train optimally or keep income up or a balance? This make the game interesting rather than obvious

in friendlies nah, i think the system is shit and how does it make the game more interesting. oh played my def trainees and lost 3-1 fan mood drops no attendance at next game maybe i shouldnt train anything and just make sure i have a good second team as well. I train def for the national team so obviously i must be punished lol

My issue wih fan mood is that it doesn't seem to take any account of the circumstances within the match.

Example 1. You get your tactics very wrong (or the opposition get their's very right) and get embarrassed by a much weaker opponent, losing 1-0 - Fair do's, you take the fan mood hit.

Example 2. You get your tactics right play the opposition off the park and out-shot them 25-1. But as sometimes happens in rl, the better or more deserving team doesn't always win and you lose 1-0. Or, you get 2 players sent off in the first 10 minutes, etc, etc...

I don't think the fans would react to these two situations in the same way.
Sure, in the 2nd example fans would still be frustrated, but probably not at their club. More likely at the ref, the opposition, the injustice of it all or, heaven forbid, they might even recognise the situation for what it was - a freak result.

To me, the fan mood calculation appears too simplistic and so, too often unfair when it can affect sponsorship so drastically - my sponsorship has gone back up 20k in 4 weeks since demotion from II.

Very Valid point Vancian. I Agree.

friendlies only have minor effects anyhow

Friendlies should have less impact then it does though or even none at all if we need to play them for training, fans take friendly results with a pinch of salt in real life.

The system is rubbish but even so it wouldn't be too bad if it wasn't linked to a rolling sponsor. Instead it should be a more realistic sponsor system that pays a set amount all season long that is decided at the start of a season based on fan base but this has been said by many people and still gets ignored.

There is nothing about fan mood that is anywhere near 'real life' or in any way constructive towards the Managers of Sokker, trying to build a team & supporting facilities

The sooner someone comes out, & agree they made a 'HUGE BLUNDER' with fan mood - the better

It will cost loads of Managers quitting Sokker - until some common sense prevails

Fan Mood - currently - it just don't work

I won my match yesterday and I am currently sitting on top of my division.
Then I come across this.....

4 supporters left the supporters` club.

WTF

Maybe they feel you should have made it out of IV by now? I have no idea why otherwise.....

for 2 seasons my fan mood was at value 1, then this season I loose my first 2 games and then win 2 easy games and amazingly my fan mood shoots to "madly in love with their club".....

to me it makes no sence im currently in 4th which is where i sat most of last season so why do they love me now?
