Asunto: Sponsorship Offers

i'm sorry to bother you all and may be this question have been ask before but anyways:
what is the significant of *** in the sponsorship deals? because sometimes a sponsor with a lower *** (2* or 3*) offer you more money than a sponsor with higher ***(4* or 5*).
thanks,

My stadium stand was built on the same day that i recieved media offer. Does anyone know if it will count in culculations or not?

The offer isn't generated until you click the button to see it, so as long as your stand was completed before you clicked the button, then it will count in the offer.

Each star rating has a range. Here's a very simplified example.

A *** deal could be anywhere from 290 to 410, while a **** offer could be anywhere from 390 to 510. So there is a bit of an overlap where a really good *** could be better than a really bad ****.

Got a four star general offer to replace last season's three but still lost a million a week
Guess not making playoffs in champions league hurt more than i thought

dang...5* media offer this year to replace last year's 5* and it's down 3 million a week...
guess we aren't as popular as last year.

So last season, I had a 4* deal worth $x.

This season, I received 2* deals the first 2 days. They were both about $500k higher than last season's 4* deal.

Today, I received a 5* deal. Its barely $1M higher than last season's 4* deal.

Is that normal? I would've expected a much wider variance between a 2* and 5* deal.

Man I got a great media sponsor but only got 2 1* deals and a crappy 3* deal for general sponsor. Why!?!?!?

I wonder if teams from the United States as a whole might be getting relatively meager offers. I got a 1* offer on the first day for one million less than last season and a 5* on the next day for only 1 million more per week than last season. I'm pretty sure my HR department improved to level 13 since last year, I moved up from 3rd to 5th place, I have been hovering around the top 1,000 in OTR, and I significantly improved my arena (reflected reasonably in my media sponsor). I though I would get a better offer.

*5th to 3rd place

*I thought I would get a better offer

I'm not even comparing year to year tho.... I'm saying there seems to be a very minor difference between 2* and 5* offers in this same season.

I had a 750k increase in my general offer with a decent OTR jump, finished 4th again in the regular season but 2nd in the playoffs. My media deal went up by about 1 mil after I almost doubled my stadium size. Both offers seemed pretty reasonable, though I was hoping for a little bit more in my general offer.

I'm okay with only a minor difference between a 1-2 star offer and a 4-5 star offer. I'd be rather upset if the low end offers were only like half of a high end offer, and all I could get in a season was a 2* offer. Having a minor difference between the two insures that nobody will get screwed over significantly by something that is completely random.

If they're all pretty much the same, then whats the point of having 1* - 5* offers?

To be honest, I have no idea. Maybe it would be better to give out one flat rate offer and just eliminate the random factor.
