listen. fire 1player or sell your best.. Keep/ or get a ( lvel 3)PR manager fire the rest of them if you want to, I think physical trainer level 2-3 will do.

PR manager is very important with a new team in my opini0n, you need to get your team out there in name and fans to games.. I have done this way for a very long time.it also depends on who you are playing those games. But you should get a estimate amount of what your making.

Cut off the draft funds for a while, or fire the weakest or sell your best player.. try to gain some revenue for the time being. At level 5 a pr manager ( lvl 2) will or trainer lvel 3 only choose 1.. if your building then your going to need both if trying to gain revenue go Pr manager.. if just building for future get the trainer


I recommend doing arena in set of 3500- 5000. It going be a lot of saving. good luck

I recommend he read everything you just wrote and then do mostly the opposite.

The highest salary player is only 12k and the rest are all single digits and 14, while a big size, is hardly unsustainable.

For a PR to be worth his salary, he's got to bring in additional revenue beyond his salary, and with a new team and a small arena in a lower level, that's just not likely to happen. If anything, the PR manager could be used more to get a cheap guy with National Appeal or Crowd Involvement specialty for key games, otherwise carrying a 2k basic is acceptable and no reason at all for more than a level 2. As people have attempted to explain to you in different threads, this game is not real life - the concept of "getting your team's name out there" doesn't matter. If you price your seats well and have decent success and don't swap through players like toilet paper, you'll have decent attendance.

The problem the OP has is way too much salary invested in staff, period, end of story. There's no need to have much more than a level 2 doctor or PR manager, nor a trainer above level 4. There's no reason this staff should be anywhere near 60k combined.

And finally, increasing the arena incrementally is much better than waiting a season or two for a single massive upgrade. There's no separate fee to initiate construction, so the question is would you rather wait for a season for new seats, or be able to sell some of them in a week and more of them in another week and so on? For the same cost, you get more money from incremental improvement

This. +1

I can only assume that no one knows what they're talking about and I''m just going to carpe diem it, I found replacements that are much cheaper, but thanks anyway.

I think that would be an unwise assumption. There is tremendously good advice in these forums. Not everyone agrees, and you might get countering suggestions from time to time ... but as someone who basically ignored the forums for several seasons before realizing how much I didn't know, let me tell you it is worth your while to do a lot of reading here. When it comes to things like training, staff, arenas, the advice will definitely help you improve.

at its core, the game has potential, but you just have to wing it to get the results you want

If you read what I wrote I said build your arena 1st. Keep the pr manager fire the rest.. You have fill the seats just buying players is not going to do that, it happens over time, a pr manager helps that happens in better fashion , its all about timing the building with the arena. I bought a lvl 3-4 pr manager and was making almost 1.5-2 million a season in 5 league.. I made at least 7-9 million in 5 league, and when I promoted I had 2.6 million on hand. That right 2.6 million in 4 division upon arrival. Did you?

So forgive me for giving advice that works and continues to work for me.

Btw we don't now what he is trying to do beyond pushing bankrupt., This is why I said if he is trying get revenue get a pr manager. if he training to train get a trainer, but what ever he does get 1 for now. Because he doesn't have the income.

I've seen it all now. Someone bragging about how much money they acquired, by remaining in a non competitive division.

Thats like bragging you made the Honor Roll, in 1st grade, while everyone else you started with is in college.

Div V experience: legendary (20+)

lol@useless.. then show me who has made that amount if it useless, I had 2.6 millions reason why it was not useless. This game is about money in the bank.. You wont get anywhere with out the money to attain arena, players. salary, medical needs for the team.

That is not bragging. it funny some like to ignore the fact, said I fire the teams building managers and get cheaper ones.

IF I remember correct you told me last season I would be struggling with salary and in last place in 4 league.. I was one game away from the league championship match. I had 4 straight games on the road. This season I'm in 1st place with the same exact team. So ill take my way over anything you have to put out about how I play. Ive proven you wrong

I built my arena 1st in those 7 seasons. Its out of the way unlike some managers above me that still need to do it.

Let's break it down:

8 seasons @$70K per week should give 7.84 million. Your weekly income should probably in fact be higher than this, since you either did not spend money on the draft or completely failed at spending your scouting points (I checked every one of your drafts, and you usually got your top choice who was always a scrub. You never scouted some great player and had him drafted before you, although you did miss out on some players due to poor/nonexistent scouting). Also, as you expanded your arena, your weekly income should be higher than $70K, especially when you're playing minimal salaries to scrubs. Furthermore, this does not count any cup income or income from selling players, which you should have both if you're able to get good draftees, have plenty of time and opportunity for training and selling, and can conserve enthusiasm for cup games.

You ended up with $2.6 million. This means you should have spent approximately $5 million on your arena if you made $70K a week (staff acquisitions should not cost more than $240K, and if you stayed in D.V for 8 seasons you clearly didn't buy good players), and if you made more than that as you should have then you would have had even more to spend.

Your arena expansions cost you $1.68 million for bleachers, $1,154,300 for lower tier, $700K for lower tier, and $160K for arena. In all, you spent $3,694,300 on your arena. This means you wasted at least $1.3 million+income from cup games+income from training. So don't brag too much about the $2.6 million you did have; even if you didn't mind wasting 5-7 seasons in BB-purgatory that is a bot D.V, you should have had at least 50% more.

Please, tell me more about your brilliant managerial strategy.
