PR is useless

The difference is quite big that's why it could be better to play for win, not for saving weekly/money

I've found a meaningful difference between the first 3 levels of PR managers, but I guess there is a point of diminishing returns around level 4.

I also get the feeling that the opponent you play has gotten a higher impact on arena income, to the tune of 40% swing in bleacher tickets with 2 games following eachother (on the same winning streak). Don't know if it was that big of a difference before, but it could help explain the difference in income between your games if it's against 1st place and last place.

I was told by someone that was a bit on the inside (who was playing in season two, was a GM very early on and talked to the BBs a great deal) that trainers worked on a diminishing returns model. Hard to explain but I was told that every increase in level was 50% less effective than the one before.

These numbers are made up but you get the idea

Trainer Level Base Training Points
1 80
2 120
3 140
4 150
5 155
6 157.5
7 158.75

If the PR guys work the same way then moving from level one to level four will made a noticeable difference but moving from four to seven will not be cost effective as almost everyone already believes.

If have the talent and the player pr manager bring the dough.. make no mistake about it.

If you get low level pr manager you'll see a huge missing pot of money in game sales. I think all the how much you can make is bull_. Why cap a team on that.

But on topic Pr manager do matter if have the seats and a winning team. Depends on what you trying to do with your team appeal.

I'm thinking a PR might be useful, in certain situations. Maybe when you play in similar condition season to season, and you can predict arena attendances well?

Also, if it's possible to make money by hiring a good PR, it's probably going to be on bleacher sales? I mean, they are most volatile.
