Facility Upgrade System Doesn't Make Sense

[Zoetermeer]

As the title says. Suppose I'm managing a reasonably high-reputation club with youth facilities that are merely "good" or "average". If I want to create a world-class youth system, to get to a top-quality youth facility, I must upgrade said facilities multiple times in quick succession. Nobody would ever do this in real life.

I've just done this in my Schalke game; my youth facilities were substandard, so we upgraded them to "good" (or whatever the FM equivalent of that is). Then a month later the board approved construction of youth facility improvement, just after the previous work had been completed! This seems to me like building a base in some real-time strategy game -- there's a nice progression there, but not really with any basis in reality.

I propose that "talk to board" is modified such that you can vary the quality of facility you ask for.

Not sure how injuries don't make sense but anyway. I think the OP has a good point, you should be able to ask the board to up the facilities to whatever level you like, the worst they can do is say no.

Yes, I agree. The upgrade system is far too arcade at the moment.

Mentioned this a while ago. I compared it to winning the lottery.

On the sense that if I won the lottery I'd buy a 8 bed detached house and move there with top stuff.

Not go from my 1 bed flat to a 2 bed flat, then to a 2 bed terrace, then to a 2 bed semi etc etc. You get what you can afford.
