Anyone else having an attendance issue?

boxner1 · 08-30-2016, 06:01 PM

I don't think it's a bug since I'm the only one in my online league experiencing it but I'm curious if anyone else has seen it. OOTP 17 with the latest update. I searched the forums here but didn't see anything about it.

My team winning percentage is roughly the same as the past season. I raised my ticket prices 2%. You can see what happened. Any ideas?

i've seen a slight (as in 5%) decrease over a year or two, with nearly identical records in the last few years of my game .... not certain it's related to the last patch, as it's just started. but i've seen nothing that compares to that sort of drop. You must have traded Ruth, Gehrig, Dickey and Bob Meusel for $500 and a future 10th round draft pick, or something as crazy. WOW, that's a horrible drop! Doubt ticket prices could do that, unless it was in the 1931 season or something, during the Great Depression.

Even the depression didn't see 90% drops in attendance - at least not at the major league level. I think only a biological epidemic of some sort could cause that at the MLB level. Heck, even indy leagues don't see drops like that in one off season.

Further research seemed to show that the ticket price for 1986 was incorrect. However, the league folded today so it's rather moot anyway. :-)
