Its too soon to make concise conclusions but it seems that TV and Radio Station do have a positive contribution on the TV contract, as it typically remains static throughout a season.
On the other hand, my merchandise has been up and down in the last few months. I attribute this to my inconsistency in reaching winning streaks as well as being the inferior team most of the time. I guess that the Merchandise store, coupled with being a dominant team/ the clear favorite of any given league has the biggest margin of profit in that case.
On the other hand, I have a lvl 4 PR manager.... I usually never bother with this because, in my experience, his contributions are just too marginal to be worth the costs. But it would be interesting to see a relationship between varying levels of PR-managers and the levels of arena design:
-Have a strong PR manager but weak/low TV/merchandise stores
-Have a lvl1-2 PR manager but fully built level 3 buildings
-5mil arena and lvl 1 manager
- 5 mil arena and lvl 7 manager
-no arena bonus but lvl 7 manager
-no arena and poor pr manager
I think BB Marin stated that the extra buildings are luxuries, as well as the additional staff members. Given that the income difference between a D.1 team and a D.2 is already significant, I think that these buildings are only worth it if
a.) You re in D1 b.) You re not in a threat to re-elegate c.) You seem to be a Top 4 team in the entire league.
Those are my 2 cents... I will keep updating my scores though
