How big is the home field advantage in this game? I don't really see a noticeable difference in the results of my home games versus the results of my away game

It's actually a road field advantage (despite the admins' claims otherwise) and it varies based on stadium size. It's supposed to max at 5%, but 5% of what, we don't know.

Thats really interesting, and I was even going to suggest that my away games seemed like they might actually be a tad bit better

I have a very big stadium for Div 4... Does that mean I am at a somewhat disadvantage because away teams playing in my stadium will get a bigger boost than when I play away games in their smaller stadiums?

I asked them this, point blank in the bugs section a couple times and they refused to answer. It depends on how they coded it...my guess would be yes, it probably hurts you a little bit.

well, thanks for answering me... Wish the GMs were a little more helpful though so we'd know for sure (and this bug would be fixed for that matter)

sorry for laughing..was not at you personally but at your statement wishing the Admin were more helpful.We all have been wanting this since day one of GI existance and it seems that it aint happening even with most of the longtimers that put alot of effort into helping others, where the Admin should of, quit.
