quote '4.) I like getting idols with lower stats and building them up (it's just the way I play :P I enjoy it). However, is there a way we can train the idols first before they debut? Like, have the ability to put an idol we hired under training and then do a "debut" campaign or something? This is just an idea that I am sure is not original buttttt I wanted to suggest it XD'
I personally use the sister group functionality for this. I create a 'trainee' group that keeps training until each of them have certain stats at a certain standard, then i move them into another group and let them debut. To get those extra groups i basically game the system by mass-hiring from local auditions to open up extra sister group functionality and firing those mass-hired ones after i created the necessary groups.
So it can be done via workaround currently but i fully agree it would be nice to have this as a common feature like a sister group for a prize in terms of money and limited functionality (no single releases, certain contracts cant be assigned to its members etc).
