Subject: »[info] Dev Diary 77: Tax reform (final)

Same here. Already saw few people reported, that they finished season with "above expectations", or even "great success" and their fans mood droped today.

It results obviously that they sponsors payed them less than they should.

Assuming that the New System is already in place, my suspicion is this:

- If you did what the fans expected, then Fan's Mood gets reseted to "satisfied"
- If you did better, the Fans' Mood is "delighted" or "in love"
- If you did worse, then the Fans' Mood is "believe in their club" or lower

Some confirmation from Raul would be great.

According to what people write in Poland (they might remember wrongly of course...) there were such situations:

- expected to win the league, finished at 2nd and not qualified = +2 in fan mood
- expected to finish in top half, finished at 3rd = -1 in fan mood
- expected to win the league, won the league = -1 in fan mood

We will set a dedicated news about it soon.

Fullfilling the expectations is not enough to make them love the club - it is rather in the middle of scale. Still, there is left a bit of old effect of last games too.

In the end Borkos is also right - you get sort of bonus when you are above or below expectations - but it is not added to your mood, it is an additional limit of mood drop or rise.

Example - i completly fail my expectations. That is why my supporters are mad, but i also have a -2 penalty for max mood for that season - even if i will win all games and be promoted they will be with 5/7 mood, not higher.

We just need to know how it works.

All teams got reset to "middle" and from that level works bonus/penalty from last seasons expectations?

Thank you very much :)

We will prepare a proper guide then

Thx Raul! First for removing 2 countries and now with the new WCQ modus with 16 groups with 6 nations! That's much more fair!

Good work!

+1

:) nice

Not really. If in the morning I had 5% chance now I don t have any chance :)

+1 it was quick :)

LOL you got one of the easiest group ive ever seen

When you have 2 decent players in the whole team any group is difficult :) In the morning I had Scotland in my group. Thats why being able to train youth from other countries should be introduced as soon as possible so smaller countries can have a half chance.

That is why my supporters are mad, but i also have a -2 penalty for max mood for that season - even if i will win all games and be promoted they will be with 5/7 mood, not higher.

Although I understand your good disposition, I'm sorry but -1
Please don't forget that this is a game of management, of long-term strategy.
Please keep in mind the importance of notifying any changes in advance.

They did notify this change several seasons ago. Might not have explained exactly how it would work but the general idea was known about. The rest wasn’t too difficult to work out what was going to happen. Just didn’t know the severity or how much of an impact it was going to have
