the home advantage bonus should follow the stadium level depending how many spectators there are.
A stadium with 50k spectators should bring more bonus than a stadium with 5k spectators

yea,
like 0.5%/5K attendance so the maximum bonus is 8% (80K seat),

but you know it's hard to get 80K attendance, even a team with 100% popularity can only have 50K attendance

Very good suggestion

In the competitions or stage of competitions where there are games home/away, the same bonus applies for both teams whenever one of them plays home. All i can see, some of you wanna  just minimize it through stadium investment since its  cheaper than actually focus on team quality and be sure your team wins in both situations, playing home and away. Personally, i hope bonus stays like this, it is a fair one and as i said, it applies for both teams.

in my view its not just the spectators support that give a bonus to a team, its also playing somewhere you know well, the travel, etc.

so i guess it could be a flat 3% then an extra few % based on spectators.

now think of this scenario... the amount of spectators is dependent on teams popularity, so if you are a big team playing away vs a very small team, you will be giving the small team a bigger advantage because of your popularity. Is that ok?

Teams can increase their stadium so it’s a choose what they want to do

it also make big stadium more usefull

also it shall be good for federation and gameshares income

@nicmo, thats ok
its fair for both team ( if they upgrade the stadium )

but if home team stadium only have 5K seat the popularity will not help them

In real football matches the spectators giving encouragement to the home team and the smaller teams will not have spectators like the famous teams this of course for league matches but for cl and cc  the spectators will be increased because of the country for small teams 

@ALAHLY in CL and CC there will be clubs with high popularity anyway 

@nicmo has a good point.

Maybe a flat bonus  + some bits according to stadium level rather than popularity. 

Yes, that would be a good solution in my opinion

@sermartin why?
Bigger team remains big on it own stadium. Meanwhile when 'big' comes to you brings more supporters to make your bonus bigger and reduces the advantage between him and you

it will bring also funds to the game

i suggest to swap those funds from global fund to national.

Currently 90% doesnt upgrade stadiums, maybe this move will force such managers to do this or at least will give a small bonus to those who really care about their club and have put some money into the game

People dont upgrade stadium cause there is no need to do it, the gap in leagues for popularity make it to not worth, i m for example at max popularity allowed in my case and i hardly get 25.000 spectators , which means what? 20E added once in lifetime :D, even in league A is not great, very few teams stay strong and even then, will never fill a full stadium. THis spam for stadium you ask is just to reduce the difference beetween you and a strong team when you meet them particullary at your home stadium. personally, i hope thing stay like this, it is fair, both teams will have same advantage, but, speaking about budget, yes, there should be made as soon as possible a rework into building and players wage.  For sure , as fast as possible there should come a weekly maintenance along with wages. Or, if not, there should be implemented new features to generate a constantly income to the game funds and keep the curent rewards close to where they are now or eventually, to hope to get them higher. 

if there is a problem with filling the stadium, it means not only a problem with popularity but a problem with calculating the number of fans, since the stadiums have a capacity of 80.000 and it is difficult to even get close to 60.000

this is not 'spam to reduce difference', but to improve the game. same thing you told about my captain, which is one of the best not even in the league, but also ingame. first - check, second - write. Otherway you come across as a very incompetent and ignorant person

thanks

A hybrid of a flat rate home field bonus combined with the stadium upgrade level / attendance bonus seems be the most fair way.

Bonus îs good stadion neutre 

another question would be, is 5% too low? should the max possible home advantage be higher than 5%?

You can do a 3% fix and 5% depending. But you need to lower the captain 5%. I consider too much.

3% on captain is enough.

Thats my opinions

Home advantage should be a bit higher than captain. I mean is more important to play on your home ground with your own supporters than have a player with more experience

I like the 3% fixed home field bonus with each upgrade giving .4% per upgrade for a total of 6%, or a total of 9% with a full upgraded stadium. 

Raising the bonuses too much risks making the game too boring and predictable. So: no! It's already too much in my opinion. Or I don't know, do we want to put the "buy the victory" option too? Or "buy referee to get more penalty".

Assuming at one point we will need do maintanance on stadium.....i think a higher value than curent will be more compelling for me to spend to keep my home advantage.

Around 10% total value (fixed 2% plus 0.5% per level) would also make the league more interesting as top dogs will start having harder games away, even if over 2 legs they stil be top team.

The captain gig..... As long is not live and is applied just for having the lad in for 15 mins.... Should be nerfed a bit. 5% for having an 1 star Dino on pitch for 15 mins..  Sounds a bit off. 

Just my 2 cents

@Alin I totally agree. Plus, it should be considered that the 100% exp mark is becoming close for many captains and in a couple of season that bonus will be awarded to whoever has the oldest 1 star Dino for 15 mins on the pitch.

Will we have to change its name to 'grandpa bonus'?

Computing the bonus based on the Leadership difference could make more sense maybe, and it would be more fair to update it when a captain is subbed

finally someones clear-brained, @Alin @maridiba

i use my captain only for few minutes to guarantee my 5% and his higher captain points in next matches

Does it work? Yes.

Is it stupid solution for the game? Yes.

'Buy better captain'? No, I dont need.

yeah lets change this topic name to "captain advantage bonus" and then you can keep ontopic

I would Ask about engine. If you have 100 skill, and u have +10% bonus u ll have 110 or still 100 as its max from training
