Subject: Questions & Answers

Though I'm talking about three games in three days. He plays diffrent tactics each game and the amount of pucks are diffrent in all of them. The lines are the same and he plays on low.

I've observed the same thing. My team rating and/or pucks in game summery will change +/- with different tactics played. I haven't been able to pin down the builds to gains/loss but that has to help arrive at "ideal" builds.

Top 8 teams and there Season 2 Placings:
Wilds 2nd in I.1
Zephyr 5th in I.1
Tuborg 1st in II.1
Razorbacks 3rd in I.1
Tel Aviv 1st in I.1
Falcons 9th in I.1
TRAKTOR 4th in I.1
Dublin 11th in I.1
Sorry, don't see any teams here that don't belong in Div I. My research concludes you are a Top 10 team, but not a Top 4 team.

My research finds you finishing in 5th spot in season 1.

LOL my research finds your research worthy of a great big laugh.

My comment about the league migration was made in general passing and not based on fact. I could go and get all the full stats if i so cared, as i have all my team fully tracked in excel.

Season 1 was an honest error as was working on my HA team while answering and lost track of which team I was talking about.

Anyway, have a fantastic day

Can someone explain how this makes sense:

Ive played two seperate teams in friendlies over the last couple of days and got hugely varying amount of fans to games. They were both at my stadium which takes out the arena capacity, level of stands and accessories, level of scoreboard as possible differences. My team also hasnt moved in the rankings so that takes out the first 5 factors that influence attendance.

Team 1:
Position 1
21 point difference between teams in standings
League iii2 (thats two divisions below me)
almost 250 OTR
Few 1 and a bit guys for popularity
Not a Derby
1 809 spectators (this is a low amount for against this team - it was 2204 a couple of days earlier)

Team 2:
Position 19
52 point difference between teams in standings
League i1 (same as me)
204 OTR
Couple of 1 star guys for popularity
Not a Derby
698 spectators

Thats a huge disparity in spectators given that the top 5 factors are the same. I guess it may be reasonable though. I just assumed playing someone from your own league level would be weighted more heavily than someone from 2 below you.

My guess is the boost in OTR is the main thing. The other thing they are a league leader... which helps. I've played the same team on Saturday/Sunday before and saw a bit of a difference in that round. Sunday almost always has less. Perhaps the day has an influence.

I think that among many reasons why that happened is again RANDOM. That's why I play sometimes with different number of spectators against same team.

I've found league position can make a huge difference.

i agree. early in the season i had two stints in 1st place and my attendance shot up both times.

the amount of fans depends on many things...
* Arena capacity
* Level of stands
* Stand accessories (mainly refreshments)
* Level of scoreboard
* Position of your team in the league standings
* Position of the opponent in the league standings
* Point difference between the teams in the league standings (the smaller the difference, the bigger the attendance)
* League level
* Overall team rating
* Popularity of your and opponent's players
* Derby game (game between teams from the same region)

if you guys read guide, there`s lots of useful info

your puck problem... those pucks can change after every game depending on how that line has played last game!
if your 1st lines defence has dropped so they had a bad day! If they will have great next game the 7th puck will be back! Pucks adds as your team plays better and gets stronger!

whats in the guide wasn't at issue. the question was why with all other things being equal there was such a big discrepancy in attendance with the same opponent.

i was answering to cavaelen, and he said 2 seperate teams!
