I can't believe so many of you lack the confidence in your ability to construct good builds and good teams, and instead wish to introduce random chance into the outcome of your season.

The sim is supposed to reflect building teams AND players. so your wrong. Building a stadium should help the team. random chance is a part of football

I agree. Your are wrong saying the sim is supposed to reflect only builds. I am led to believe the sim is a matchup of FRANCHISES...hence the stadium/fan support/finances. If you have a fan support and stadium section, it really seems a must to have home field bonuses.

Wrong, Home field advantage.

No!

I would have to say that if the Home Team is getting beat soundly (say by more than 24 pts), then all these factors should be nullified.
Sometimes no amount of 'Home Field Advantage' will get you up after being beaten so soundly.

thats why it would be based on attendance and fan support and expectations

I don't care if the stadium is sold out, you have 100% Fan Support, & the scouting bars are dead even.
You go down 34-10 by the half, the crowd is out of it.
Do not pass Go.
Do not collection $200.
Nothing, Nada, Zip.

Once you climb back out of the hole, then have it kick in again.

If the crowd is out of it then obviously you don't have great support.

Like we really need another excuse for people to bitch on the forums.

why is a reason to bitch? every team has it for the same amount of times, if anything it makes builds more of a factory because the better the build, the higher amount of help the % increase would bring

bumping this, not sure why it isn't in epic yet

Moved to epic, even though I am still 100% against the idea.

+1 to 5% confidence boost, but thats it.

I edited original post for updated content

ive suggested this before, but not as well-presented and i agree playing at home should give an advantage

homefiled at best should affect morale and should be countered by confidence on the opposing team. I remember for years if you went to a Bears game in Detroit, you'd have thought you were in Chicago.
