I'd ask the question as to how realistic they were in bumping up a team's attendance. Do real-world promotion days offer an equal amount of boost as did the virtual ones in OOTP6?

I'd say the chances of having a higher attendance at a game more likely rests on the following criteria:

The opponent (a traditional rival or a front-running team will likely draw much better than a last-place or struggling club).

The weather (a great day will draw more people than a lousy weather day).

When the game is being held (the best days, on average, are weekend contests; day games during the week are usually the lowest drawing).
