My view regarding arena expansion in the beginning is - build (and decrease seat prices ofc) until I start having empty seats for that particular tier even at the lowest price possible. Than I know I'm done for the time being.

Eventually the consensus is that you should max out the most expensive tiers and find what works for you regarding the ratio between bleachers and lower tier seats. Bleachers are cheaper to build but lower tier may give you some additional profit in the long run. That's debatable after a certain point though.

Arenas very rarely fill more than 20 500 for club games, so imo the total capacity at the end of all expansions should be 21-22 000. It is deemed to be optimal to fill each tier @ 92-95% in order to have room for mistake in case you make the tickets price too low when changing it. And you do need to change it often because fans take lots of aspects in consideration when deciding whether to visit the game or not.

Training court used to be very OP up until this very season. There have been changes however to the free throw formulas, so its effects have been nerfed somewhat. Still a good building to have tough imo if the additional cost doesn't bother you.

Gym - you might want to restrain from it for now until you get a good idea what cross-training is and what those slots mean and how it all works. There are those managers who believe that actually it has adverse effects on player development. Reasonably so, I must add.

Anyways, not everyone has the same idea about it or at least the perceived numbers and effects differ from one person's opinion to the other. I'll not bother you with my own opinion on this topic for that very reason. Much better to form your own point of view, based on solid facts.

I meant this season while I am still in the 4th division. I doubt I'd have as much attendance as higher-level teams in this forum even if I had the capacity. Am I wrong?

Check out my Utopia team, as a decent example. I sold out my arena for the last home game @ 13 500. So, even in D IV you could probably get 15 000+ attendance when playing against the non-bot teams.

Looks like this season I'll focus on upgrading my stadium then. :)

Was there something done with stamina in the offseason? I find it hard to believe that three players in one week would drop a level in stamina. 48-65 minutes for all of them. What gives?

Hi. Me again with more questions:

1. Let's say that my player A played 48 hours as PF and 48 hours as C this week. I chose Rebounding >> PF/C as training. Would he train double? I highly doubt that but can't hurt to ask.

2. On the game Box-Score page, I see ratings like

average (high)
pitiful (medium)

I've read the Game Manual but didn't get it. What does "average" mean and what does "high" mean?

3. DMI of the player I bought increased from 17500 to 40700. Considering he didn’t gain anything in the training, what might be the cause of that sudden increase? I understand that most people don't care about DMI but I still want to know what might cause its increase more than double.

4. I also see this on the Box Score page.
Game-Day Prep
Balanced Focus --
Normal Pace

There are green ticks next to them. Does that mean that my guess was correct?

Tnx in advance.

EDIT: Added the 4th question.

Maybe I asked my questions wrong.

1. But what does 100% mean? If I understood correctly, a player only trains 100% if he is training in one position. So skills like Rebounding that can only be trained for 2 positions (C/PF) train at 70% speed.

I am asking this because if that's true, Rebounding is more valuable than Inside Shot because it trains slower no matter what you do.

2. Are you saying that the phrase in parenthesis gives the decimal value? As in, it is Average, so 6, but closer to 7 if high.

3. His Game Shape changed from 7 to 8. Can that really increase a DMI from 17k to 40k? If so, is game shape really important in the game?

3b. How can I increase the game shape?
