Now that's some objective evidence!

I am stating my opinions as they were completely obvious, because they are obvious.

PR Managers are worthless, literally. No one buys them, no one sees any benefit to them other then their tiny home court or road benefit they'll bring if they have a specialty. You can pick up a world renowned PR manager for 1k .
I also like how the specialty bonus doesn't improve with the level of pr manager, what the hell?

How about the fact you have a cap on how much money you can make in your respective division ?
The merch income never makes any sense.
I've lost a single game once and literally lost tens of thousands of income in my next home game. Are you serious? I'm going to lose 30-40% of my audience because I lost a game?

And yes, the majority of injuries happen in the first quarter, we've already had people concede this fact.

What are you even blabbering about? You've never even played HT apparently, with this nonsense you just posted.

Oh at least when a player gets a goal he's actually on the field, as oppose to bb where guys mysteriously get points when they're on the bench..really that hasn't been fixed yet? we're only in season 22!

Actually, hrudey has been on HT since 2003. And when you have half of BB population on at once during most given days on HT, and when you have tons more supporters, and when you have been on the Internet a few years longer, then you would probably be a bit ahead, don't you think?

I've only played it enough to be a U20 manager and to have the achievement for the #1 league rank in the USA. I imagine that doesn't measure up to your illustrious career, of course, but despite that sad state of affairs I do think I have at least been around there long enough to have some small idea of how the engine there works.

And the whole getting a goal thing is the perfect example. For "normal" goals (i.e., not SP, not SE), a goal is scored when the chance is generated and then the random number generated beats the threshhold required for that sector's attack rating to beat the corresponding defense rating. Once the goal is determined to have been scored, the engine then decides who to credit the goal to, which is random (though scoring skill is used to weight the randomness). It's season 50-freaking-1 (though that's off because it was essentially a Swedish beta for several seasons before the USA and a few other countries were added), and yet goal scoring is still not even determined by any individual players but by a mish-mash of ratings?

I picked up a level 3 for about a 10K weekly salary.

Obviously a week after I upgraded, I saw my merchandise go up nearly 4k. But from 12-31, to today, it has grown, 8.5K. Going from a level 2, to a level 3, PR guy, cost me 6k more. So that alone is a 2K weekly gain.
As you can see from severance. Alberto Kirpatrick salary this week, $12 921 a difference of 6.6K

My last game was a sellout, actually, after upgrading, only 1 game wasn't a sellout. Prior to that, not so many sellouts. Not only that, but both games I bolded, where home games coming off of loses, and both against a 2nd place ranked team at the time, on the Big 8 and 1 in the Great 8. A $17.5K difference. Add that to the Merchandise bump, and its a roughly a +20k weekly investment. So yeah, they are so totally not worth the investment.

OK I am going to experiment more with PR Managers, but do you have any national players you're training that could have an effect on your income?

Not a 1. Maybe I'll have an u21 in 3 seasons. Crosses fingers and hopes for no long injuries or screwed up minutes.

Quod erat demonstrandum.

And quod erat LOL-induci-stratum.

I just had an injury in the middle of the fourth quarter. Clearly that's a bug!
