Question about Something under "Team Edit" Page

Post by shinderhizzle84 »

So real quick question...I was browsing through the various NHL team's edit page and noticed that there is a statistic called "Basis Attendance". I figured that this meant either the average attendance the team gets per game, or the minimum attendance the team gets per game, but after examining all 30 NHL team's basis attendance statistic I'm completely lost and confused to what this means at all, now.

For instance, the Toronto Maple Leafs have a Huge market size, a Fanatic fanbase, and have a Basis Attendance of 8,562.

But the Tampa Bay Lightning have an Average market size, a Loyal fanbase, and somehow have a Basis Attendance of 13,714.

Is this simply unedited data that OOTP Developments will fix after the Beta period, or am I completely missing how this particular statistic works in terms of affecting attendance/income and fan support throughout the game? Is it supposed to be backwards (like the higher the number the lower the attendance figures are) or what?

Thanks!

I haven't installed the latest beta yet as I've been busy, but it sounds like a minimum attendance figure. Perhaps when the team starts up it'll be initial attendance as the team's market is established (so Toronto will be 8,562 in 1917 or whenever and Tampa will be 13,714 when they start in the 90s). That's just a guess though. It sounds like something got lost in translation - I'll see if I can clarify it with the devs.
