The chief function of the PR is to improve your attendance. Therefore, if you are maxing out your arena already, improving your PR is likely of little use.

This is a logical conclusion judging by the fact that merchandise revenue is only about 50k maximum, and even less in lower divisions.

I also think you need to relax a little.

You asked what the use of a high-level PR manager is, and I answered. I haven't seen anyone in this thread say that you'll get hundreds of thousands of merchandising revenues.

So, does he improve your attendance a lot?

This is a logical conclusion judging by the fact that merchandise revenue is only about 50k maximum, and even less in lower divisions.

The other logical conclusion would be that you PR manager is equally useless in attracting fans.

Then you are free to assume they've been put there for bait and keep your level 1 PR.

More likely it's just another aspect of the game that is not thought through - that is, if the effect is similarly minuscule.

So, can you please answer my question whether a high level PR manager indeed noticeably improves your attendance.

A level 7 PR keeps my attendance at max with maxed out prices. And yes, switching from 1 to 5 some time ago improved attendance.

Obviously, nothing is universally guaranteed for all cases since winning streaks and ticket prices also affect attendance. There is more than one way to address situations there, imagine that.

Thanks.

I can definitely imagine that there are other factors that affect attendance. They are both stated in the rules and easily verifiable.

I think the PR manager is more long term. He is not going to have an incredible effect right away. His impact is seen more in the long term. He may increase merch. revenue immediately, but that is not his biggest effect. Here is my theory of what a PR manager does:

1) Increase the soft cap for season ticket holders.
2) Bring fans to your team faster and decrease fans leaving when you lose games.

Both effects will increase your tickets and merch. revenue in the long term.

Anyhow, that's why I see it as a long term thing.

I hope you’re right and he actually plays some role. The problem is we don’t have much to go on, just his salary and an abstraction, his level. If we could see how many fans are joining during the season or the fan mood we would be eventually able to figure out something, but right now choosing which PR manager to hire is little more than a lottery.
