as I understand pr lvl 7 NA and pr lvl 1 NA have the same effect in terms of their specialty. Their effect on merch and attendance will differ though

I still can't fully understand the role of the PR. The whole season my fans are responding with 2 under the "I am familiar with the star players, and am not afraid that they will be transferred". I have never sold a player! But then again, I only had basic (2) PR. What is your experience with PR's and their responses in the Fan Survey?

From the Fan survey page:
...the responses should give a good indication of your fanbase's happiness, and their willingness to attend games and buy merchandise
I thought that the fan survey is the only visible information we have on the (in)effectiveness of the PR-Manager. I was wondering what were your fan responses after your game vs All-Starters.
Also, idk what this notion means:
...Three times per week, on the day following games, your PR-Manager conducts a survey of fans.
Do they conduct the third survey even if you were out of the National tournament and you didn't book a scrimmage (I wasn't paying attention at the changes in the Allstar week when most of us had 2 games). What does "on the day following games" mean? Is that the Daily Update?
Now, to add more confusion, according to the Guide To BuzzerBeater + FAQ, PR-Managers are used at the beginning of each game:
...PR managers and doctors are used at the beginning of each game, and so the level of doctor and PR manager that you have at the time of the game is what matters. PR manager’s levels are also taken in to account at the time of the financial update for merchandising income. Seeing as salary is paid for staff at the time of the financial update.
What does it mean "at the beginning of each game"? You buy a higher level PR before a home game (15+ minutes before the game) and they boost attendance mitigating your poor Fan Survey response? Or does that mean their effect is calculated with the results in the responses of your fans in the Fan Survey ***after the game (like the effect Doctors have on injuries)?

***Edit: About the term "after the game" I used here. The injuries are only visible after the games, but they occur in the game and the effect of the Doctor is calculated 15 minutes before the game. So what I meant was actually "before the game" (those 15 minutes before the game, i.e at the time the GE was running).

ty for your kind reply MrJ. I was well aware of how (and when) the Specialty of the PR-Manager is calculated in the simulation. I am still curious about the PR-manager without a Specialty in those "15 minutes before the game"? They don't have that "slight effect" in the outcome of the games, but does their "work" influence the number of fans showing up in your home games. If you fire your level 7 PR manager 20 minutes before the game, will the attendance drop? I suspect that the responses in the Fan survey will not change prior to the game after the firing.
