MKL92 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 recently in my game, i have quite a few players who are "playing nervously" according to the motivation screen. does anyone know why this happens, or how to help these nervous players?

JimbobWWFC Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Maybe they are young, inexperienced, playing poorly recently, or just playing a difficult side (or a combination of these). Maybe you should try saying "No pressure" or "Enjoy the game" in pre-match team talks to calm them down a little and take the pressure off them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robrobrobrob Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Did you say "I expect a win" against equal or slightly better/worse opposition? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKL92 Posted February 16, 2009 Author Share Posted February 16, 2009 Did you say "I expect a win" against equal or slightly better/worse opposition? As Man Utd manager, I said expect a win against mid-table ish teams such as sunderland. To JimbobWWFC, it has been players such as Berbatov, Carrick, Giggs, Vidic... so deffo not young and inexperienced. Anyway thanks for the advice Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimbobWWFC Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 To JimbobWWFC, it has been players such as Berbatov, Carrick, Giggs, Vidic... so deffo not young and inexperienced. Fair enough. May be that these players are short of form, and do not like the pressure being put on them. In future, check on your assistant's analysis in the pre-game menu before doing your team talk. As well as pointing out which players do not look confident in the warm-ups, it will also tell you if some players appear too cocky, or find it difficult to communicate with others, etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamilton162 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 You are putting too much pressure on your team, and the players that don't handle pressure well or don't enjoy the big matches will respond negatively by playing nervously. Hope this helps and Happy Gaming Hamilton162 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
