yes, but they'll end up costing me 40k+ (been following those kind of coaches for days before I gave in and bought the one I did) and then the salary increase will basically make me end up far worse than I would by replacing the current coach in a shorter period of time. That being said, this is my trainer's salary situation Last week's salary: $ 16 604
This week's salary: $ 16 894

fair argument about the doctor though - that has just earned Mr. Luukas Liiv some days on unemployment benefits

but aye, I like what I am reading right there. Now things are starting to add up and kind of (rather more than less) answer to my questions. I like the 3 players training path with not really being bother to promote mix. I'll have one of those and a large coke

Cheers!

Is WW the boogie man of the game?
I kind of feel like he speaks my language

You said that, not me:-D I'd save this label for different users but I can't imagine playing BB without taining players. But there's still the option I have lack of imagination.

I'm not saying to ignore harsh realities, but that having fun is also an important aspect. As you said, you don't want a purely financial game, you also want player development even though it might not yield the best ROI.

Speaking of ROI, I would advise that every time you have some cash to put into your arena, you calculate the current ROI of each of the different seats and expand the one(s) that currently have the highest ROI (instead of just starting with the luxury boxes and courtside seats). You should keep in mind the final layout of the arena, which is indeed something like Wolph suggested (50/500/5000/15000) The boxes and courtsides are fixed at 50/500 maximum, and depending on your view you can build a couple thousand less or more lower tier seats (I went for 7000) and fill up with bleachers up to 20.000 total seats. You won't reach those numbers any time soon (takes multiple seasons), so you can just build the most profitable seats ROI-wise for the time being.

About transfer prices, there's indeed a large number of overpiced players on the market, and managers do bid irrationally because they're unknowing or impatient (not everyone has time to hunt for the optimal buy, and just want a player right now, the instant gratification generation so to say). So patience pays off on the market. The transfer estimates generated by the game are not very accurate (though it does give you a slight idea if you don't know any better way to determine value), because it does not account for the value of individual skills (it just looks at age, potential, salary and TSP in recent period).

Speaking of value of skills, OD is indeed generally accepted as most valuable, followed by IS. Besides that there's difference in opinion as different player and team builds evolve, but something to take into account is the training time required for skills. OD trains slow, DR/HA/JS/RB train fast so are generally less valuable. This is especially the case for out of position skills (OD/PA also for bigs, IS/ID for guards). Also the alternatives available for a skill weighs in. A guard with low OD is bad at defending, but if he has low JS but high IS he can still score (you're just limited in offensive schemes).

now we're talking
lining up opinions leads to validation and setting in stone I like this! consensus gives me confidence to go through with certain moves

so OD and IS! cheers! I knew there had to be a different importance assigned to skills (also glad to see the reasoning behind it,which kind of makes sense so I'll use that when taking other elements in consideration). But yes, now things are starting to come together nicely. I am liking it cheers once again

lack of capital...

I disagree about training.
I don’t see any roi for most people. Better to use training with basic trainer team training

now I am worried :)

How useless are those trainers?!?!

I believe he means they are useless to make money. Training generally costs money; even though you can sell your trained players for some good money (if you train properly), it doesn't outweigh the cost (besides salary of your trainer and facilities, also the worse game performance).

ahhh, if that's the case then that's fine. I never expected trainers to be an element in the money making equation
I thought that he meant that it doesn't affect training that much

Each level gets diminishing returns, so that's why Advanced trainers give you good value for money.

oright! getting the hang of it
