Hattrick announces - new smarter spectators

[Alf]

<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tbody><tr><td> 10-01-2005 Adjusted spectator formula
We have made some minor adjustments to the spectator formulas. The mood of your fans will matter less than before. Also, the away team's fanclub size will now make a (small) contribution to the total outcome - these hardcore fans will now travel with you on the road. They prefer important matches but do not care much for friendlies. The mood of the away team's fans, however, will matter significantly less than before. In general, these changes will lead to less dramatic fluctuations from one match to another. They will still fluctuate, just not as much as before. Especially the worst outcomes when your fans are very unhappy will be less devastating.

already saw the results today, I got 10 fans instead of the previous 8.

stadium upgrade in progress to even bigger than anticipated :D. From 60k to 90k finally

[FrogMan]

ahh, that's what it is... Supporters were at murderous (1) last week, lost 21 twice. They got up to irritated (3) after we scored two goals this week, I still expected to lose between 6 and 10. Lost none, nice...

BZH : this announce to me is not related to fan increases (though I won 9 instead of my usual 8)

[Alf]

ah, maybe yes, better mood leads to more fans signing.....

[BreizhManu]

I'm sure it is related, else I can't explain this increase (which a lot of people reported in the conferences).

nice. Don't know how many you gained last week, but to me going from -21 to 0 with a 2-3 loss is just as good :)

+14 last week so I gained a couple even tho I'm sure I'm near the max gain per update as it is.

Yeah, I'd say a 21 swing is good :)

[Mr. Wednesday]

This looks to be long overdue. Hopefully, it works out to everyone's satisfaction (HT's included) and they've been careful to keep the average crowd size in the same ballpark (since in the last offseason they adjusted ticket prices upward to address the lower average attendance).

Same here. I like it.

[Qwikshot]

The whole thing with fans going to your away games, does that mean you'll get an income from them?

I don't think so. I think it would mean that if a team comes to your house, and they have a very big fan club, you could see a better attendance... They still pay their tickets to you, not their home team...

yep :)

im so happy.... it might actually make alittle sense now :)

[YoSoySean]

I lost 14 supporters per update last week with supporters at irritated. More irritated supporters this week and I lost 3.

[Mr. Wednesday]

bye bye "smart" fans Fixed your post. :D

[Desnudo]

Man I'm glad they fixed this. I'm already gaining back some of the 200 odd supporters I've lost over the past season and half.

[Raven Hawk]

I didn't notice anything in the update. I got 6 new season ticket holders after last night, which is what I've been getting normally. What I did notice was better attendance. Two weeks ago I was in third place and was playing the seventh place team: 30109 - spectators - overcast. This week I was in first place playing against the eight place team: 53252 - sunny.

Now I don't know if overcast would have had that much of an effect on my turnout, but it was nice to draw 50k + playing against eigth place (who by the way almost beat me). :)

[finkenst]

alright.

my supporters are still satisfied after a 2-1 home loss and i gained 8 spectators.

last week on a wining streak, i gained 9.

[Havok]

Fixed your post. :D


Thanks :)

i type faster then my brain works unfortunately :(

[Mr. Wednesday]

I was mainly going for adding the quotes, not fixing the typo. :p It was offered in the true spirit of the typical "fixed your post" reply.

[Alf]

I didn't notice anything in the update. I got 6 new season ticket holders after last night, which is what I've been getting normally. What I did notice was better attendance. Ditto, I got a full house for the only time of the season last saturday. WooT. Definitely upgrading stadium to 90k (from 60k)

You have played 7 matches of this type at your arena.

well, now we only gotta hope they didn't implement the "smarters" fans... :D

edit: damn clock, this reply is to Sterlingice's comment below...

[sterlingice]

I dunno, Havok. I think maybe you might have been on to something when you were saying how poorly implemented the "smart" fans were ;)

SI

no no no.... i just want 1 billion attendance per game ;)

[KevinNU7]

Last week I went 8/7 during the two updates and my supporters were high on life. This week they are still high on life and my first update gave me 9. Nice

[paksenarrion]

I got +4 last night after a 3-0 road loss. The previous two weeks I had lost 42 and 17, and have lost 144 in the last 7 weeks. So the difference is huge.

[Maltby]

my last two home league matches have been to 50,900+ out of my 51k seat stadium...so they definitely stealthed in the smarter fans, because at least one of those matches was against one of the bottom teams in my group.
