Hi all, I have been re-directed to this section of the board. Every year I use the FM Editor quite extensively to create clubs, leagues, stadiums, cities - you name it. I installed the game this morning and have spent time creating a fantasy team in England, playing in League Two - fallen giant sort of narrative with numerous FA Cups, League Cups and a European Cup. Reputation set at 5,000. I have set within the editor my season ticket holders to 20,000 - this has always been reflected when loaded up in previous version of the game such as FM20, 21, 22 etc… however when loading this data into FM23 it seems to cut the number of season tickets holders automatically. I have loaded a few saves to see what is going on and conduct a trial and error process. The number of season ticket holders appears to fluctuate from between 13-14,000 each save. Why is this? I assume it is something to do with the new supporter dynamic? Furthermore, the amount of social media followers is very low - on one save it was 11k, and on another it was 16k, this is equivalent to a very low non-league team rather than a team with a reputation of 5,000 and numerous cup wins and league titles. I compared this with another League Two club, Hartlepool - who show 47k social media followers, which is much more realistic for a club of that size. Could anyone shed any light on why season ticket number inputed into editor does not carry over into the save, and would anyone have any idea on the inner-workings of the ‘social media followers’ algorithm? I understand these are minor issues but it does diminish the immersion somewhat. EDIT: have solved the season ticket holders question - numbers grow towards the start of the season which makes perfect sense. Would anybody be able to offer some insight into the social media followers being so low?

To immediately answer one of my own questions, the season ticket numbers start low and then grow towards the commencement of the season - this makes perfect sense. I am still intrigued by the social media followers however, and would appreciate some insight.
