 I'm sure I'm not the only one frustrated by trying to find quality coaches. I've read some different suggestions in the past from have a staff 'market' to just being able to pick the % you want and paying the appropriate cost. But I've thought of another suggestion.

Would it be possible to have staff available for hire be adjusted by what division you are in? The higher division are obviously not going to be interested in picking up $700 a week staff, and most likely the lower level division aren't going to want the $300,000+ staff.

Another factor that might be used is your financial adviser. If you have a higher quality FA, then you could should have better 'connections' to higher quality staff.

And on last suggestion for staff. Can we get a little more variety in the quality? Not that I don't find the following amusing:

Hossam Ghany $4,200 30%
Tom Sommerville $2,500 27%
Matthias Staudinger $5,700 33%
Radwan Rayyan $3,100 28%

Let me just be clear, I don't want to make finding quality staff TOO easy. I just think it would be nice to have more options/variety so that you aren't forced to hire repeatedly over and over to get the variety. 		01/02/2012 19:54

 you best bet is to hire the cheapest coach and immediately fire him, then a new coach will take his place, keep doing this until a higher rated coach is available. btw, this can get pricey but is a solution that has worked several times for me. 06/02/2012 22:56

I'm aware of that process. I just find it to be ... clunky? I dunno, I don't think that was the way the devs/designers envisioned how we'd get higher quality staff. 		07/02/2012 01:32

 What is the point if every manager on SM had a 90+ staff. Even in reality the best coaches are hard to find. And not every manager can afford 90+ staff, the weekly cost would be beyond 3M, and i doubt Div 5, 6 and 7 teams can pay that every week. 07/02/2012 05:07

 It can be difficult and time consuming to find 85+ staff. Remember though, once you find the level of staff you're looking for, you never have to do it again. Keep at it! 07/02/2012 11:08

 and what effect your staff doing courses have on their rating? 07/02/2012 15:35

I think you are arguing against your own point. The very fact that the weekly cost would be enough of a deterrent for most teams would stop every manager from getting 90+ staff. And I don't think my suggestion would making finding 90+ staff EASY, just a tad easier and make more sense then hiring the cheapest option over and over until you get what you want. That isn't really 'managing', it's like a terrible slot machine.

What my suggestions would change is allowing higher division managers a chance to 'game the game' so to speak. They can tilt the slot machine in their favour by having a higher skill financial advisor, or simply by getting themselves into the higher divisions.

My other suggestion was simply to offer a bit more variety in your 4 choices. I don't think it does any manager well no matter what division they are in to see 4 choices all within a few thousand dollars.

For the record, I have a 90% coach and an 87% youth coach which for the most part I'm happy with. I just though the process of getting them didn't seem fitting, so I thought I'd provide some suggestions. Anything we can do to make it easier for new managers to get competitive will be better off for everyone, they have a hard enough time as it is with all the inflation going on. 		07/02/2012 22:13

From the help text on the staff training page:

Regular courses to improve staff quality.

Each course improves 1 point. The course cost game money.
Each master course improves 2 points. Master courses cost golden balls.

Each employee can take 5 improvement courses choosing between regular course or master courses. You can afford the three first courses as you want (money game or golden balls), the last two can be took only with golden balls.

Master courses cost 100 golden balls.
The regular courses cost depend on the current employee quality and it ranges between 5M and 20M.

The maximum level a employee can reach is 99. Your staff do not need to take the 5 courses if their qualities are 96, it will be enough with 3 regular courses or 1 regular course and 1 master course to reach the top level, for example.

We have to plan this very carefully, because if you have an 81 quality employee and then takes 5 master courses, the employee top level will be only 91, and if you hired a 93 quality employee later, the taken classes before will be lost and useless.

The employee's salary will not be affected by the improvements. 		07/02/2012 22:21
