GH...

First sorry about the lateness...I too lost the weekend to some other things that came-up. But I now have fan interest numbers that are very close to what I was striving for. Now I know that some people will voice their concerns and criticisms, but please remember that I was shooting for numbers that would give us attendance figures similar to 2002. I did project some teams' attendance figures upward for 2003, because of new stadiums, playing in San Juan, and have several good seasons in-a-row, esp. after poor seasons.

All of this testing and research has lead me to these conclusions:
1. No matter how low we set Florida's fan interest, their real 2002 attendance figures can not be duplicated in the game. They are always higher - 500k on average.
2. All of the fan interest numbers are low, so maybe real baseball isn't in that good of shape - like we didn't know that already!!

One final note before the ratings. For Montreal, their rating works overall, for playing all their games in Montreal. If you plan on manually changing their home stadium for the 25 games they are going to play in San Juan, I suggest setting their fan interest to 1(one) for the games in Montreal and 75 for those in San Juan. I have not tested this yet, so I will try to do that this week and let everyone know what numbers I come up with before the roster is released.

The Ratings:
Anaheim - 51, Arizona - 64, Atlanta - 45, Baltimore - 52, Boston - 86, Chicago A - 11, Chicago N - 66, Cincinnati - 75, Cleveland - 54, Colorado - 54, Detroit - 15, Florida - 1, Houston - 51, Kansas City - 4, Los Angeles - 59, Milwaukee - 27, Minnesota - 36, Montreal - 10, New York A - 71, New York N - 60, Oakland - 36, Philadelphia - 20, Pittsburgh - 18, San Diego - 33, San Francisco - 85, Seattle - 79, St. Louis - 53, Tampa Bay - 5, Texas - 35, and Toronto - 11.

Please feel free to test these numbers yourself. I think everyone will see that they come reasonably close to 2002 attendance figures. Again, there will be fluctuation based on performance.
