Otherland Owner Troy Valmont's first move with the budget, firing PR manager Yanar Naghiyev, and hiring Ognjen Davidov. Ognjen Davidov with more of a national Appeal focus, than Naghiyey's crowd involvement, and is Advanced as opposed to comptent. Otherland trying to shake things up

How much do PR managers help as far as ticket sales the and the like I haven't pursued getting one am I missing out on much?

They help a ton for ticket sales I feel... I (new PR guy,s o may change), went from 30% last year with the basic-ish guy no specialty, to over 90% every home game this season, with a lvl 3 guy, with home crowd thing.

They also give your team a slight boost in how they play home vs road, based on their specialty, I heard.
Since my team has choked 3 games on the road... I figure I need the road guy more. Plus, more road wins = more fans at home games anyways.

Sounds like they help I'm about 60%-75% full

What helps the most is winning away games. It also depends on what you do with your teams. If you keep the same team and are winning you should sell out or close to it without one. If you blow your team up and your losing then having one would be a great idea. In my opinion their best for lower division teams with money to spend on that kind of stuff. The financials of this game become way more complicated as you move up in division.(unless your stadiums huge) so beware of what you spend your money on. But the trainer specialties really help.

Thats somthing I'm still trying to get (a trainer) its insane how much they are I still have the crappy one they gave me and I'm looking at paying 700k for a level 4 trainer! come on. especially when I get paid weekly and I have 10k less every time and I don't know why my ticket money does cover it but still its a pain

The after party is too much! Will break news later, right now, is party time! Otherland wins it on a tip in with 11 seconds left, on the road, after a missed shot was rebounded. final score 77-76

Taking on the winless "Bricksquad" in Bricksquad's home turf, proved to be tougher than Otherland expected. Otherland held Bricksquad to 29-79 shooting, including 2-23 from beyond the arc. However, Otherland didn't fare any better shooting 28-82, and only 3-16 from beyond the arc. Otherland did have success going 18-22 from the free throw line. Otherland was outplayed at nearly every position on the court, players giving a real lackluster commitment out there. Stuart Huey the only Otherland player with any offensive success on the night shooting, 9-19, 1-4 beyond the arc, 1-2 at the line, with 20 points 5 rebounds 2 assisst and 1 steal. Zwirski, with his backup now healthy, decided to not let him even come off the bench going the distance shooting 5-14, 0-4 from downtown, converting 9-10 at the line for 19 points 9 rebounds 2 assisst 1 steal 1 block and 5 turnovers. Chung Hui, whom got an offensive rebound and tip in for the game winner with 11 seconds left shot 2-8, including 1-4 from 3 pt land, 1-2 splitting free throws at the line, for 6 points 11 rebounds 8 assissts and 2 turnovers.

This one was just a down and gritty defensive struggle for both teams all game. But in the end, Otherland came out on top.

Today Otherland's GM made a move, acquiring wily veteran Stuart Watt to play PG. Watt was acquired for 4026, and looks to be the regular starter once his gameshape is used to Otherland's style of play. Watt's strong passing and handling, looking to be instrumental in taking some of the load off of Falcao whom many teams have zoned in on as being a "key player" to Otherland's success. This also allows Falcao to play the 2-3 spots, where he is much more natural.

Otherland scrimmaged the Ohio State Buckeyes, Ohio State Buckeyes playing their bench, Otherland resting Falcao and Salas. A late run by Ohio State made it close, but Otherland had it in the bag the whole way through. Otherland outrebounded Ohio State 60-35, and shot 34-75 from the floor. New PG stuart Watt not much success, but he comes over via trade out of shape, so it'll take him some time to get into the full swing of things. Arthur Quigley, playing ahead of Salas for a rare start, showed why he was a stud last season, shooting 8-14, missing his only 3 attempt, going 2-6 from the line for 18 points, he added 19 rebounds (1 offensive), 2 assists, 2 steals, 2 blocks, and 4 turnovers. Belkhauous with a dominating performance as well, 8-13 shooting, missing 1 3 attempt, he added 22 rebounds (5 on offense) and 5 blocks, to go with his 16 pts and 5 turnovers.

Otherland hit 1 3 to Ohio States 8 3s, and turned the ball over 21 times. But too much rebounding, and high percentage shooting, was just too much for the Buckeyes as they lost the scrimmage 86-81. Saturday Otherland will be taking on deadtosin as the final league game before the allstar break. Julio Falcao, Paul Salas, Arthur Quigley, Zacharis Belkhauous, and Yim Chung Hui all trying to fight their way on to the allstar team. Odds are slim for any but Falcao.
