I understand that I should start on a unused side of my stadium but start with how many VIP boxes, Exec boxes & regular seats....any guidelines advice, please? Plus, sorry, what's the best level to buy a coach at... Many thanks for your time Boleyn

Welcome!

Forget Coaches at the moment, put all available money into VIP seats. Once all VIPs are done hire the fitness coach, buy the fitness center and start building Exec seats. Once the Execs are done, start buying the training hall and some additional coaches for attack, defense and tactics.

This is your plan for the next 2-3 seasons (means 1 Year in RL )

At your size, i would buy the 20 defensive or fitness coach and 1s everywhere else. I might be the only one, but I prefer defensive coach for the smaller teams since it helps the defense, oline, and running back. Which are the primary things when trying to compete with other D5 teams since few teams down there have a passing game. I would train QB in passing (since you basically have to), WRs and RBs in agility, OLs and TEs in blocking, and all defensive players in tackling. I would not recommend training guys too high though, you have to watch for wage increases over the off seasons.

Added Edit: You can train agility through offensive and defensive. In the way i said above, train defensive agility on WRs and RBsLast edited on 2009-12-10 at 19:08

I think it makes sense to max out one coaching skill so that you're making some progress training. Then throw the rest into vip and exec seats. Steve SD Blitz

I could see the pros to this, and my brother is considering doing the same thing. But I opted not to train any non-fitness skills until I had the Training Center, so as not to "waste" training updates with half the points I could be getting. With fitness coaches and fitness centers so much cheaper, I was able to train that at the same speed the top level teams did much sooner.

Well i'm sure your brother already has a Training Center with that big sell he had earlier this season.

Haha. Nope. I convinced him to finish off 2 sides of his stadium.

I also am going to path of fitness training and maxing vips and execs then build training hall get either full or def coach and bring up skills but i can say idk that there is a right or a wrong way and that is one of the best things about this game
