The pay-the-ticket price part of my suggestion has nothing to with helping the team. It's for better realism for the fans, not much more.
The reason for my suggestion of taking out the gift system is two fold:
- Avoid any blaming/complaining of "there's no for extra reward in this game"
- Encourage attendance as you'd be able to claim more than one gift (possibly, lol)
Also, is what I meant is that after X game minutes (30 would be good), a pop up would give you a choice of the three health packs (Rest, Morale, & Injury). Then, if the team you are supporting wins, you also get a skill point.
The main trouble with my idea is the sudden change would have with the flow of the game. I'm still quite open to suggestions, this idea will get no where if I'm the only one supporting it.
