Strategic Sage posted:For all of these kinds of things, it's on the screenshots in the Coaches Reports. In this case it allows for up to five coaches to be hired via Glory which are listed there. As Quackles noted, they boost attribute experience gain from matches. It seems like the best upgrade to get (even if expensive) would be the youth academy, just to improve the quality - and thereby sell price - of our new recruits.

My complete, well-thought out, detailed plan is this: BraveLittleKeeper will become a Keeper. Dont upgrade the stadium until it is regularly full. Sell NiftyBottle when it makes financial sense (when he gets more skills and is worth more?) Upgrade the Youth Academy with the money from that sale. After upgrading, buy the coaches. Continue using Youth Rivalry. Prioritise players with the most potential. I am sure you can make this work

Strategic Sage posted:From this this, selling NiftyBottle is a year off, which means that line and the next two about upgrading the YA and buying coaches are issues to revisit in future transfer windows (other than that I will take this as an endorsement of the 1-year deal for NiftyBottle). As for the stadium, basically don’t upgrade if we only hit a full stadium one single time, as that would then easily be a waste of time. The exact time would be something I left up to you. If you want a hard rule, maybe something like upgrade if it is full 3 out of 4 games.

I just want to say that you've done a good job so far, and that we shouldn't overcomplicate this thing with too many rules. I think that you should feel free to adjust your interpretation of the votes in such a way as to make the result seem somewhat reflective of those votes.

In my defense, I initially wanted two midfield coaches in addition to the Chief Physician, but then realized that we didn’t have enough glory to get three staff and also youth rivalry. At this point, I see it as an investment for the future and locking down the upgrade. And money just sitting there gathering dust doesn’t help any more than a better training ground. I mean, I could have voted for three staff, but that would feel like gaming the system.

Can we afford upgrading our Youth Academy twice if we sell ShadowedFlame? It‘s an interesting situation. We might give our development a good long term boost by getting the Academy up a lot faster. But we might lose our chance at promoting this season at the same time because of it. DTurtle fucked around with this message at 22:29 on May 11, 2023 |

If we vote to upgrade our Youth Academy again, will that take effect before we get the newest youth recruit, or will the vote only take effect after that?

Strategic Sage posted:[PMJ's contract is one that really surprised me and shows how unpredictable this process is. Last year it was nearly unanimous to give him one year. This time around mostly the same people wanted to give him two even though he's a year older. Not sure what changed, but of course people changing their mind is perfectly fine. And then you get a stampede effect where people are apparently just voting for whatever seems to be what other are voting for. You could see that happen last vote, where somebody quoted Pokeytax's plan, but edited their vote a bit and then people quoted that vote thinking they were voting for the same plan people before that were voting for. In this case the argument that PMJ would be close to 30 in two years and that that would be a good time to sell him felt like a good argument, so I went with it. Not upgrading the youth academy twice last time is one decision that stuck with me, as it was so dumb.

Strategic Sage posted:As the saying goes, democracy ... or is it chaos and stupidity? your choice ... wins when more people participate. We have 13 votes in already for whatever reason. This is a record, thanks everybody! It is still a close call on a couple of proposals though, so the vote remains open. I expect the coach vote to be split in too many different directions, but I decided to vote for a forward coach anyway. We definitely need help in scoring goals and that is supposedly the role of forwards. PokeyTax would probably argue that just having a billion perfect Midfielders is the way to go, but that just feels wrong to me

Pokeytax posted:Tongue out of cheek, I do sincerely see no advantage to going FW over MF on this team. You get way more XP and two space movement with the ball as MF, in exchange for giving up a small Control bump. I guess that's why they aren't considered a meta class, although I like the idea in theory. You could say that's only because we have too many Midfielder Coaches and this will evaporate when we even things out, but I have disproved this, the proof just did not fit in the margins of this post. Obviously, there are some game mechanics to take into consideration (money, glory, upgrades of buildings, general coach effects, etc.), but its fun having opinions completely ignoring exact game mechanics for things like optimal builds, skill synergies, etc., because I know that we need to shoot goals and that is what forwards are for, so we are getting a forward coach. Also, if we don’t get a good forward next time, we are requesting a forward.

Tevery Best posted:Because we play five or six defenders, have seven, and are about to lose one with another scheduled to leave in the next transfer window. However, we've already decided to get the defender this time. The open questions are: 1. What coach do we want to get for our longer term development? 2. What position do we want to get next time (with a pretty decent chance for our first four star player)? That second part is what I am arguing about (not in any way heated, frustrated, angry - this is a game). I personally think that in the current situation getting a hopefully very good forward is going to help us the most. Of course we could also get a bad one and then we have a useless dead weight. Which is why Youth Rivalry is always so useful, as you have need to get two bad players in order to have dead weight. Oh one last question: does the number of stars affect the starting stats and skills of a new player?
