kevgaleuk Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 I am quite enjoying the frustration of dealing with agents in the demo. One thing that I feel is missing is the ability to make public the agent's role in a deal being scuppered. When you "interact" with a player there is no option to say something along the lines of "The player's demands were more than met but the greedy b*****d wanted more than the player for the sale..." Obviously there would need to be a positive option and it would have an impact upon their liking for you however if it led to the player forcing the agent to do a deal (because they are very interested in joining) that would be really useful Don't know what others think?

gaz da man 2004 Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 I agree really enjoying the agents in the game but would like more interaction Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
djvandyke Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 I want to be able tell a player that I would sign him but will not deal with his agent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
London City Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 I think that's a fantastic suggestion. It would add some strategic depth, especially is releasing such a comment has the possibility to either bring the player back to the negotiating table or else resolve to leave the club, depending on both the player's and the agent's personality.

ATW Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Suggestion for the future. Agents as they are is a very new thing, and it would have probably been very dodgy for SI to put eveyrthing possible in at once. If they did, doesn't give them anything for FM12 etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
poola21 Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 I hate agents they are useless, and they will ruin lots and lots of deals in the market (especially when there's a financial crisis and most of the clubs have debts) they just swallow money that isn't given back to the game for example I wanted to sign Robert Pires (36 years old) and his agent demanded a fee of 1,300,000 euro only for him!(agent fee) I prefer to raise the installments for the player, after all he deserves the money more, he plays his football, but the agent? 1,300,000 euro? on a 36 year old? who even is not a world class superstar? I say lots of money spent bad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
riv1000 Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 One of the best suggestions i read here Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
philly_flyer10 Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Its so obvious that I cant believe it isnt already a part of the game. IRL some players sack their agent if this happens. Obscene agent demands really should be in there as an option for the failure of a deal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
poola21 Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 I've seen players sacking their agent in the game but I do not know the reason some player from Real Madrid B (Castilla) just fired his agent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATW Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Seen that to. As Barcelona B, some player signed for Sevilla - and then was moved to Sevilla Atletico! Next day sacked his agent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuajonathan Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 This. I tried signing Bale who asked for 1.6m while his agent refused to budge from a ridiculous fee of 5.8m for himself. Seems a bit excessive especially when the club is limiting my agenst fees to a maximum of 2m+. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satio Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Couldnt agree more. The agent fees can be ridiculous and so difficult to handle. I'm all up for the discussions, complicated agents and go easy agents, but the fees they charge are crazy and just make it impossible to sign players without having to fork out a bomb on agent fees. Being me, I obviously knew nothing of how much an agent would charge for handling it all, and my guesses have been way out with them coming up with millions for players.

BC_Tiger Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 i know agents fees are terrible and crippling, and are of utmost greediness, but thats RL. its about time FM introduced this into the game, because it is such a large aspect of transfer dealing these days. think the agents are greedy bastards? good, thats how its supposed to be, because they are. and as for public/press comments about a deal being scuppered; yeah, i like it. im sure it will be brought in in future versions but not fm11. the agents feature is new and like all new features will take a few years before SI manage to deliver the goods to the fans whilst evolving the data.

Abaka Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 A talk to press feature for Agents like you can for players/managers would be incredible. The one's you publically back could also be hired by players who list you as favoured personell Although, clubs do talk about Agents alot, they never come out publically and criticise a specific agent officially.
