Attendance is not completely tied to winning. If it were, the situation for Tampa Bay would be much different.
There are many factors and the game tries to capture all of that with Fan Interest, Fan Loyalty, and Market Size.
This is hard to say with just the information provided. Has Cincinnati been adjusting their ticket prices? Was that number different during the off-season period where Season Tickets are sold? How about Washington?
Also, it appears you are what, maybe a week into your season? That is a very small sample size. I think things like opponent quality, week days vs. weekends, weather, etc. can also affect attendance...stuff that generally evens out over a season but not over a week.

Small sample size this season yes, but it's happened every season since we switched to ootp 24. This is the 3rd season for our league since the swithch.
The Rays are an outlier, and the issues with attendance there I would hope wouldn't be replicated in a baseball game.
I've shown the fan interest, market size, fan loyalty, etc. for my team.
I think a better discussion would be using the MLB data you provided, and calculating the range of ticket prices based on the $40 per ticket model. Using the information you provided, I think the range based on $40 would be $24.40 - $73.20.
Honestly, at this point I believe the more fruitful discussion is understanding the actual change and what the range really is now. I understand and appreciate a fog of war argument, but at the same time we are making decisions that have an impact on future seasons. From what I am seeing based on the most recent ticket prices in my league is a range from $18-$80, with the $80 team being an extreme outlier. Removing the $80 team, we have a range of $18-$54.
It appears that the ootp new ticket range is much tighter, even tighter than the MLB data. Is anyone else experiencing anything similar? Anything different?
