Why is my fan interest decreasing

1994WSChamps · 05-20-2016, 01:01 PM

In the offseason I signed 2 huge FA SPs. My fan interest increased from mid 80s to 93. Currently I'm 26-8 and 3 games up and my fan interest has slowly decreased to 85. Why? I did raise ticket prices in the offseason but that was before the big signings. My market size is below Avg and fan
Loyalty is above avg

interest is a funny thing. it goes up and down for reasons like you stated above and i'm pretty sure some random elements are invovled to that have nothing to do with anything you or your team does - the whims of the fans, so to speak. maybe a concert was in town?

even in a draft pick trading world in which you win ~140 of 156 games a year and constantly have all stars and extremely popular players... it can dip during the season when only wins/losses are occurring at a ~.900 clip (e.g. no FA signing or loss of player, no losing streak - nothing relevant to fan interest etc).

Are the FA SP's performing well?

You share your team record so we know the team is doing well, but have the FA signings pushed the team to this good performance or just cashed their big paychecks? Maybe the fans aren't happy with their performances? Just a thought.
