Is there anyone who can answer his question?
I just joined BB a couple of days ago and I don't have a clue what to do, either.
Thanks.

It depends somewhat on what level you are in. In D.IV, your finances will be pretty tight. Ordinarily, you will lose money each week, and then make a lot of money for the TV games. New teams get $50,000 bonus each of the 1st 4 weeks, so make sure you're not considering that as regular income.

People aren't really sure of the effect of the PR man, so I wouldn't upgrade that.

Doctors lower the likelihood of injuries and their severity. They don't make injuries heal faster. So you can't wait until you have injuries and then upgrade. They are more like an insurance policy. So you might consider the value of what you are insuring. If you don't have high value players or high value trainees, it might not be worth spending too much on a doctor. If you had a NT player, you'd want a 10. I'd probably get rid of Max Payne, but wouldn't go too high.

The trainer will speed development of players, but won't have any effect on games. You probably can't afford a 10. So perhaps a mid-range if they are available.

The staff system is kind of odd in BB. Each week there are 3 staff members available, one of each kind. So if you are looking for a mid-range trainer, and there is a 4 this week, you might pick him, because next week it might be a 10 (too expensive, or a 1 too poor), and then keep watching for somone more to your liking. You will pay an extra week's salary when you switch a staff member.

Currently, Doctor level 8, Trainer level 6 and PR-Mgr level 10 are offered to my team.
Naturally, I wanted to hire them all instead of my crappy level 1 stuff members, but then again, that seems like a quiet an investment for my rookie team. Can I afford it? Furthermore, do I really need them all at this point?
I figure that new trainer should be on top of that list, but I'm not sure whether level 6 trainer is a good investment or not, either.
And what about PR-Mgr? Do I really need him right now and more importantly, will he justify his salary?

I'm sorry, man, I didn't see your post :s
Anyway, while you answered a lot of my questions there, I'd still like to know what do you think about Trainer level 6? Good investment to start with or not?
Thanks.

If you've figured out who you are going to train, I'd go with the trainer McClain. My understanding is that team training does not depend on trainer level, so if you've just started and are doing a couple of weeks of stamina training, you could hold off. Otherwise he seems pretty reasonable to begin with.

Dr. Roy is about the cost of 5 or 6 of your player's salary. I think you'd be better off just dealing with any injuries at this point. And keep looking.

No way would you want O'neil.
