You are right- better for the community to wrk it out but the problem with PR managers is that the whole system of fan survey and attendances/season tickets seem to be slightly broken in the first place.

Fan survey doesnt really work (as everyone knows) and the attendence fluctuation/season ticket numbers are so difficult to work out. Eventually someone will work it out but at the moment its difficult to quantify the impact of a pr manager when the other factors are hard enough to work out themselves!

I have tested 3 different levels of PR managers and they simply dont worth their money. PR is supposed to bring up more money not being damage to our economics. a 12k pr with skill can be bought in 80k price at least and the actual price raise in expensive tickers does not give you any profit. The facts are simple, why pay 12k per week if you dont get it back in attendance ?A basic lvl pr also does the job, i made many different comparisons in attendance

And dont forget their salary is increasing every week, a lvl 3 pr would worth it if he could give us back at least 20 25k per week. So wy bother with a lvl 3 when you can get a basic with 4k 5k salary, adjust the prices and have better profit per week?

dude im talking 25 % per season. 0.25 X 48 = 12 players per season from drafts only. The drafts are crap to my perspective since most of the draftees, get fired or end up playing in scrimmages only. 12 players from one league are enough to keep the game going but not enough to boost the further development of the game. When most of the drafts end up fired, then the drafts are not "simulating" the situation effectively.

Every aspect of the game is connected to another. you cant a find a good player in a reasonable price these days. 2 years ago you could buy a 28 year old with 1 million and now a 32 yo with same skill set is sold 1.5m and maybe more (and im talking about cheap prices here, go check the market and figure out for yourself whats happening).

The total players playing the game has significantly decreased (and when a team turns bot, some of the players return to the game, there you go thats why my facts are not "improbable", bot teams are also a way of feeding new players to remaining teams) . I have seen many teams in greek top league (A1) that are playing with 35 yo players just because they cant find anything better in the market. Training is extremely slow also, making it extremely difficult to sell a good player in 32 and buy a new one to train and replace him

Do we know what effect a higher PR guy has on season tickets and what effect season tickets has on overall economics in this game? Or how they impact ticket prices?
...
I do agree that the fan survey needs some work to have a more realistic reflection on how well our team is doing though.

Re a PR guy, I know that level 1, 2 and 3 have no visibly different effect. They may be programmed to have a difference, but in practice it is invisible. And for mid-level teams the inflation that prevails makes higher level PR guys out of reach (just one more problem of the inflation that currently exists). So yeah, at least for lower- and mid-level teams, it needs work ... but I will give you that it is not high on the list of priorities.

This game would be much more interesting, if it were introduced another European Cup. As it in soccer in real world, there are European league. In which would participate conference finalists. So from each country it will be three participants.
So, many teams who are not strong enough to win the title in their own country, have at least some kind of goal and satisfaction for a well-played season. Plus, It will be a chance to play a competitive match with colleagues in World.

In my experience, there is a significant income diference between a PR level 1 and level 3. I tried when I was in II league and I got my wrost attendance keeping the same winning record. Sadly I didn't take notes but I dropped from over 300k to around 270k.
Maybe a PR with some levels is only design for the top leagues.
