Game Shape reset/update? It occurs at the same time as Training Update, which is Friday, 4:45pm (PH time).

Though starting next week, it will be an hour earlier (3:45pm) due to Daylight Savings time.

Hello!

If I remember correctly I once read that if you lose a certain number of games in a row then there is sudden dip in your attendance. How many loses in the row are needed for this to take place, please?

Thank you

Per Game Maunal:

Fans will not tolerate long losing streaks, especially if a team has the funds to prevent them. They will boycott teams that don’t have at least one victory in each third of the season, effectively reducing the amount of sold tickets of upcoming home games!

1/3 of the season is 7 games, which means after 7 lost games in a row attendance will decrease.

That's not how the boycott penalty works.

The season is three separate round robins, which are the thirds of the season represented in the game rule.
- In conference (7 games)
- Cross conference (8 games)
- In conference (7 games)

At the end of the first round robin (after game 7), if you went winless in the round robin then your fans will boycott you, based on how much cash you have on hand, as specified in the game manual.

Over the course of the second round robin, every time you play a home game (regardless of which games you win or lose), your boycott amount is reduced by 3 percentage points (if you had a 12% boycott before a home game, you'd have a 9% boycott after). At the end of the second round robin (after game 15), if you went winless in cross conference play, your boycott will be increased -- if you had 6% boycott left over from the first boycott and have $3.5M in the bank, that would ADD 18% more boycott for a total of 24% boycott at the start of the third round robin.

And then the reduction of 3% per home game played would continue during the third round robin, and then at the end of the regular season the boycott routine checks to see if you won at least one game in the second time through conference play and adds boycott as required.

The official rules, and confirmation from BB-Justin on the USA discord back before the ownership change.

Sounds a bit complicated. Could you please give some real example, with numbers, to make sure that I fully understand your explanation (because it's not written anywhere in the rules)?

Thanks in advance.

19 yo. Example (54230463) TSP after draft 86. You can not train on this level 18 yo 62-64 TSP.
On some reason 19 yo is boosted. You can use these players in you line up better on lower lvl leagues against 18 yo noob.

Yes I definitely agree with your statement if you are extremely lucky to draft a player like this. However, I would say this is an outlier. Meaning that 95% of players are probably drafted with less than 80 tsp ( even less than that) when you draft. But this is just my opinion and it’s not based on some real data. It’s more of a transfer list observation
