Impossible Attendance Goals

[polydamas]

My owner keeps giving me this same goal to increase my attendance and I 8000 off a game. I'm also 1st in the league for attendance. How could I possibly achieve the goal he gave me?

What is the capacity of your stadium?

Something seems off with the financials if you're first in the league in attendance, yet consistently running 15,000 under capacity.

I'm guessing the owner goal mostly just takes your park capacity into account, in which case he's only asking you to sell around 80% of your seats each game - a pretty reasonable demand. The real question here is, with a winning team like that, why are you only selling a little over 50%?

1.25 is expensive in 1935 financials.

In the setting, the baseline attendance is set at 8000. Should I bump that up?

The one goal listed on there that I am struggling with is the build a dynasty goal. I have been given this same goal by my owner yet I have no concrete idea what I need to achieve to satisfy this? I have been to the playoffs 11 straight years and have won the world series twice but apparently that is not a "dynasty"

Yeah, I guess that goal wouldn't have scaled so well if capacities are off. I've added a check to also scale it to the league average attendance figures, in case of the above where your stadium is much larger than reasonable.

As for the dynasty, you'd likely be close to it with those numbers. I won't give away all the details, but if you make the playoffs consistently since the dynasty goal was given out, and can throw on a couple series wins, that should count If you can at least make the playoffs every year and win one championship, the owner won't be mad at you for that goal. You just better not crumble after being given that, or he might get mad.

Matt...Thanks for the response. Am I correct in understanding you in that you left that goal more gray or vague than the others??

Just to clarify, do you mean you added a check that will be in the next update, or was this in the last patch to where his goal may complete the next time the game does a check for completion?

EDIT: I think I'm going to do a fictional starting in 1901, so this may come into play for me if the goal were assigned, so it would be something I'd hold off on since I have other active leagues. (Not to mention help the OP, bonus!)

Thanks as always for everything you do, Mr. Arnold.

It will only apply to goals issued after the next update, so unfortunately it won't help the goals already issued.

Understood, thank you very much for the clarification.

While I have you here, are you aware of the issue with the "Feeder League Players Only"/"Feeder League + Additional Players" issue?

People are setting up their feeder league and the settings are reverting at different times to "default" settings (such as, if I turn the "Generate Player for X rounds" to zero, and have it Feeder Players Only) these settings will sometimes revert (usually upon exiting and then re-entering the game.)

Just seeing if you are aware of this while I saw you in thread, I can start a different thread if you need, and I apologize to the OP for the small hijack.

[Matt Arnold]

I wasn't aware, but I've noted it. If anyone has any other details, let me know and I can look into it more.

There is a thread with it that I will bump. It's in the New To The Game forum I was helping a poster named IsaacR there.

I'll go track it down and I'll bump it up in the next few minutes. Thank you very much!
