Here is another data point, based on my third sim. Using the same team, I left the ticket price alone, at $25.50. Brantley was extended, and the team finished at 93-69. In this sim, the fan interest ended up at 68. No different from when Brantley was extended, at the time when the team was below 500.

I am inclined to believe that ticket price has minor, if any effect on influencing fan interest. While winning has ephemeral, and slight impact on fan interest, and the factor that plays the most important role in boosting the fan interest is signing/extending popular players.

If true, I am quite disappointed as it is no longer possible to grow a small market team into a larger one through consistent winning as losing big name/popular players will constantly erase your progress towards higher fan interest.
