Its good to be back! Whats new ya'll? And I mean that literally. When I named my first arena the EnronAIG dome it was culturally relevant(Season 7?). When I dropped out(Season 24?) they had just solved the blank lineup/let coach decide problem and were looking for ways to stop LI as the dominant offense. Did they?

Did they change any values in the salary calculator? Stamina was way too cheap and free throws were way too expensive.

There are new ways to expand my arena? Whats known about them? Which do you have? Where do I start?

There was an old tool used to export arena seat pricing for maximum attendance. Is it still around?

HAHA! Ya, Enron isn't quite the name it used to be lol. I'm interested to know the answers to those questions as well. I wish the old tool to set seat pricing for Max attendance was still around. I haven't used the Stadium upgrades as of yet as I'm still working on just getting my capacity up. Once I do that and get a nice chunk of change every home game, I'll look to allocate money for one of those upgrades. Hopefully I can promote soon as I've retooled my team considerably since I was relegated from DIII a few seasons ago.

Kinda, I had made one a few years back but ended up not sticking to it. I'm hoping to make this one last awhile but it is taking awhile to figure everything out.

Welcome back. I've been gone a few years too but I was in D2 when I left. The main tips are 1. set your scouting budget to 0 and put that cash into your arena 2. Avoid players with stamina below inept. If you have any questions I'll help where I can.

Hi since starting up I've invested in young players with high potential to build for the future. With me being new is there any investments you guys believe I should make early on to help me out?

Here's the tips I've got.
There’s 4 priorities to manage

1 Win often. It’ll make your fans want to give you money(they’ll come to games)

a. Manage your Enthusiasm and Game Shape. Have a long term plan and use the games you can’t win productively.
b. TV games, Rival games, road games that will be followed by a home game, in that order are most important.

2 Building

a. You’ll need the profits from a balanced 12000 seat arena to get to D3 and probably a 15000 seat arena to stay
there.
b. Spending half your income to build is a good start.
c. Leave the more advanced buildings for later.

3 Training

a. Training is slow. Prepare yourself.
b. Get your trainees 48+ minutes
c. For young trainees, focus on 2 players that have the about same needs, using single position training and 1v1
d. For 20yo-26yo starters or potential starters, up to 5 players training 2 position training is ok.
e. Schedule a scrimmage each week to get training minutes and game shape minutes for your bench players.
f. Be patient with the market but get an Advanced trainer. Expect to have them 20-30 weeks and the salary to go up
$500ish a week.
g.Use the games you cant win to train big guys out side or guards inside.

4 Players

a. Atrocious is very very bad. Like very very very bad. Inept is a huge step up from there. Respectable is a good step
up from Inept. Its better to have a balanced player with few flaws than a very flawed player thats Tremendous at 2
things and Atrocious at 2 things. Its also cheaper.
b. Wins Above Replacement. If you can get the same wins with a 6k salary that you can with a 16k salary, save the
cash.
c. In general, no starter will play to his full potential with more than 2x salary or DMI of your lowest starter because
the opponent with adjust to focus on him. Try to keep your team balanced.
d. Game Shape and Stamina are more important than you think. Aim to have your starter and backup have at least 10
stamina combined when you’re not in training mode.

Thanks a lot for the advice. It was way more info than I was expecting to get lol. I didn't pay enough attention to stamina when buying players but will deffinetley do so moving forward.
