Same day. Which is right?
Administrators Zachary Whyte 2,127 Posted February 13, 2023 Administrators Share this comment Hello @Weston These two things are generated separately. The season preview is decided by odds where as the media prediction on the club screen is collated by a different calculation. In the first season, the media prediction is set in the data by researchers, but for subsequent seasons it'll be calculated through a mix of reputation, ability of players etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense that the media prediction is based on rep / judged ability, but when you say "decided by odds," what do you mean? I often reference this (or, now that I'm aware, these) numbers to roughly gauge my relative strength in a league, so I'm curious what's behind them.

Presumably they're also using reputation/ability but in some other formula? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Zachary Whyte 2,127 Posted February 14, 2023 Administrators Share this comment Yes, it's a different formula, mostly based on the reputation and ability of the squads plus a few other factors, quite a complicated calculation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
