Th variance in attendance after losing a game is beyond ridiculous and not realistic. I don't know many sports that drop off from 90% attendance to 66% attendance just because the team lost a game. I feel like this has been getting worse over the years and the gap widening. Also for the fan survey i lost my TV game by 12 points and got 1 star rating?? Surely the weighting on this needs to change, 12 points is not worth 1 star, more like a 2, a 20 point loss should be 1 star.
Poll:  Should this be changed
Yes
No

I totally agree with your claim!

Last season, for example, I lost a TV game by 9 points against the league leader, and he spent more enthusiasm than I did in the match.

It was unfair for me to have only 1 star in an attribute in the fan survey for weeks considering the result and the circumstances of the match (the opponent's level and enthusiasm).

Somewhat agreed. You played against league leader and lost, the you lost away game also. Next game where you got 66%, was against a team with record 4-11 who also lost few last games and is not that attractive to sell many tickets.

True, however that team is 5th on the ladder in his conference, our League is extremely unbalanced, 7th place in my conference is 9 wins 6 losses. Anyways, they need to close the difference, because this doesn’t happen in real life. If my team was 5-10 or something I would accept it

BB is built similar to the NBA and 82 games regular season is packed down to 22 games. Everything happens 4 times faster if that makes sense

I completely agree with you. While I can understand that matches vs opponents in the low end of the league are less interesting for the fans, the swing (and fan survey rating) for losses is absolutely crazy and should be adjusted. Same is valid also for rare wins, of course.

Yeah mate let’s hope they do something about it. 48 total votes so far with an overwhelming 75% of people agreeing that it needs a change.
Admins the people have spoken. It didn’t use to be this bad, I have noticed it get worse over the last few seasons.

It's not just because you lost a game, the opponent and type of game matters, and you didn't adjust your ticket price like any sane real sports team does. That's why attendance in real sports doesn't vary that much, because they know how to adjust ticket prices to fill out their seats. And yeah, people pay a lot more to see good opponents/players than just some middle of the pack team, so I think the variance is logical.
