minimum attendance for crowd to show?


Recommended Posts

just wondering because my crowd isnt showing. in my first 2 home matches i have had 105 and 79 people buy tickets but in the crowd when the match is going on it shows it completely empty so just wondering if thats because the amount of people are so low

Can't say I've ever noticed that before other than it being a rare bug they were either spread out in areas of the ground that you did not or cannot see or you have turned off the crowd animations in the match preferences,

Might be worth uploading the editor file for one of the more experience user to take a look at although that is a very large ground for such a small attendance which does suggest that the fans are there but are hard to spot unless you pause the match & start cycling through all the camera angles, including the reverse views.

They could be hidden by the roof or on the side where the camera is, try the reverse option to see the other side & also the behind goal camera to get a proper look at the stand with the roof.

You can get a view of hard to see areas with the 'behind goal' and 'behind corner' camera, and you can also set it to 'reversed' to see the stands at the otherside.

So you will know if you have any fans in the stadium or not.

now i am using canterbury and i un-extincted them. if that is even a word lol . this is what the in game editor says for my staduim, in case something is off there and someone knows. i havent touched it in any way

Looking at this image, the part for 'used capacity' which is set to 0.

Maybe that answers the question to why no fans are being displayed, if the used capacity of the stadium is set to 0.. then surely no fans could be at the game?

Not sure if this is how it works with FM16 though, would need to check other teams stadium 'used capacity'

Try setting it to what the stadium holds 8000, see if that shows any fans.

Having a 8000 capacity stadium, with a maximum of only 10 seats being able to be used of that stadium could be causing an error or something.

Or if there are more than 10 fans in attendance at the game, maybe it can only display the full amount of fans in attendance and not a small proportion of the total fans in attendance etc. Also is the stadium still used in real life?

What I mean, is I remember Man Citys Maine Road stadium still being in the database (despite being knocked down in real life) on a previous FM (14 I think) and I played around setting a team I was managing to play at Maine Road.. and even though it was set as my teams stadium, there was never any fans in attendance as the stadium was extinct.. or something along those lines in the editor.

Bit late on this one so not sure if it is solved yet, I have had a skim through and can see you have been through the editor a lot but have you actually been into FM preferences?

I have a low quality laptop and my default settings has crowd turned off in the graphics section (only half star ratings for graphics lol) and I only ever see empty stands like your screen shot above. I enable crowd and then see them appear. I am at work now so have no screenshots, but you can go to preferences then graphics and see if the crowd option is enabled.

yes, that was first thing i checked. turns out it was because my stadium was getting expanded and was in a new place yet i was actually playing at the stadium that was getting expanded still . once they were finished it was back to normal
