I think after reading the threads and looking at the team I have inherited this season which is not good at all. I will focus on building up Arena and save some money. Combine this with training the possible one or two decent players that I have (compared with the rest of my team).. and wait for the draft and buy some players in to booster quality of squad at a later date.
That's an excellent plan. Though I would add you could keep an eye on the transfer list for better trainees. I'd recommend no one too expensive at this stage though. Also don't spend too much on a trainer at this point.
Is there a player age when it is not worth training them after either because it takes longer with say age or because they cannot be trained after a certain age?
The simple answer is yes, there is an age where its not worth training a player, but it depends on the player. One of my current trainees is 26, but he's a bit of a special case. Its a combination of age, potential and the current skill levels of the player.
Training speed declines with age so given similar skills its always preferable to train a younger player.
Looking at your teams arenas and some other EBBL players arenas the majority have gone for high bleachers than lower tier seats. You any of you think of changing your area seat's? This might be a very amateurish thing to ask but has anyone created a stadium with a higher lower tier e.g. 7k Bleachers and say 16k Lower tier if you get more income? And I take it once you build seats you cannot change them to Lower tier or Bleachers they stay as they are.
Not amateurish at all. This subject has been one that's been debated a long time, and still there's people who disagree. My personal opinion is that 7k lower tier is an excellent aim. Though because of the cheapness of building bleachers its probably more profitable to build them early on.
Attendance goes down if results are bad, and this affects lower tier less than bleachers, which is another good reason for having lower tier.
And you're right, you can't remove seats. If most of the established teams who have a higher percentage of bleachers could remove them, I think they would.
