This makes perfect sense.

In OOTP19, however, my experience with both Detroit and CWS have shown that fan interest moves very little (and would not go up by 14 points), even if I improved total number of wins by 26 games.
Well If fan interest has to do with getting new fans, then yes there would be a correlation between it and Market size which is an available fan base. My post was more aimed at the comment that said a team "should be able to get their Fan interest Maxed out in a couple of successful seasons" I have never seen that in my experience. But there are many variables at play here. So to try to pinpoint Fan Interest as only being influenced by X isn't a very good approach. The comparisons made were based on how OOTP works previously (OOTP18) to how it is working now. My point of contention is maybe how it works now is more realistic and not less. Maybe the problem is the way it used to work and the inability to change our line of thinking. This is one of those areas where I believe Marcus would never give out specific information, he would be more likely to say it either is or is not working as intended. The best avenue to take would be to post it in the Bugs and see what happens. I haven't seen enough evidence in OOTP19 to draw a conclusion or form an opinion one way or the other and the chances are pretty good that I won't until the next version comes out!
