Media Points are the driving factor in your team's fame in CPL Manager, representing how well-known and celebrated your squad is across the community. Higher media ratings unlock powerful perks like expanded merchandise options, increased visibility, better sponsor deals, and boosted streaming viewership. While briefly touched on in the Office section, this deeper dive explores how Media Points work, how to earn them, and strategies to maximize your fame for long-term advantages.
What Are Media Points?
Media Points measure your team's overall fame and prestige. They combine three core factors:
- Team Points: Team points are a measure of your team's performance in competitions within CPL Manager. They reflect how well your team has performed in the span of a season.
- Event Points: Event points are the result of random events that can happen throughout your team's career. Can be positively or negatively impacted by your team's actions and random outcomes, for example players fighting or a player doing so well that gets interviewed.
- Fame Points: Fame points are calculated based on the total of your team's top 5 fame players. So if you have 5 players with fame 3 you'll be granted 15 fame points.
Dynamic Nature: Media Points change constantly, no static totals here:
- Team Points: Recalculated at season start based on the previous season's results.
- Fame Points: Updated daily as player fame grows or dips.
- Event Points: Fluctuate with new events and decay by default 50% each season reset.
Your Media Rating (visible in Office > Media) advances when you hit point thresholds, unlocking perks like increased sponsor offers and new merchandise articles progressively.
