JD 1984 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Hi everyone just looking for a bit of advice here. Do i treally need to keep doing these press confrences all the time? They do my head in!! Same questions all the time Does it affect my team in any way if i send my Assistant Manager to do them? I just want my game to go a bit faster & these seem to just take up a hell of a lot of time,but if they really affect how my team plays in anyway then i'll just do them but hopefully not LOL!! Any experiences or advice is welcome,thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
malikoi Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I only ever go to press confrences before and after big matches, like rival matches or cup finals, and it hasn't effected my team at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rice2cu Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 This thread should really be in genral discussion forum. But here goes anyway. I had a West Ham save. In the first season I wanted to get rid of a lot of staff. The board blocked the mutual termination of the AssMans contract as it would cost too much in compensation. I kept him on and allowed him to do all the press conferences.... I find them boring. He was brilliant. I didnt have an adverse reaction from any player all season. Before and After every game, plenty of players had the "PR" green box next to their names. I'm not sure what the criteria is for coming up with an AssMan with good media handling style, but I think it's to do with hidden stats. My advice is, let him do all the conferences for a while and see how your players react. If they get *issed off, get rid of him or do the conferences yourself.

The Vet Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Like Malikoi I tend to do it before big games, or when I feel the team/player needs a boost, or to just keep them on their toes. I guess I take conferences 50% of the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurf Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I never go to press conferences. And it has zero effect on the team. Still win everything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Vet Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 It can help morale, and get players who have played only decent to lift their game. It has an effect. Whether you are still able to win everything is only down to the "terrible" AI of the other teams. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
milnerpoint Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I never go to press conferences. And it has zero effect on the team. Still win everything. they certainly do have an effect, but if you have a good assistant manager it doesnt really matter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
faraow Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I think if the assistent has a high motivation attribute, he should do fine on press conferences Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertcornell68 Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 They can have a big impact on individual players but they are mind-numbing and I can never work out whether my answers will be good or bad anyway so I always send my ass man and fix any damage later. I don't think it's ever actually cost me points, even with a really rubbish ass man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingjericho Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 They can help your team's morale, but if you have a good assistant manager he can do that too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurf Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 they certainly do have an effect, but if you have a good assistant manager it doesnt really matter. Never seen it been a problem. Played in high and low leagues, varying degree of assistant managers and never a spot of bother. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smurf Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Brian Eastick has been good for me. And Walter Zenga, he's crazy and storms out of the press conferences from time to time lol. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rice2cu Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I think if the assistent has a high motivation attribute, he should do fine on press conferences I don't think Motivation has much to do with it although I could be wrong. I think it's more to fo with hidden personality traits or a combination of them like professionalism, sportsmanship, controvesy, tempremant and maybe pressure. Determination and ambition could also play a part. I have foiund that good press conferences lead to better morale amongst certain players,. this can be a big help if your team is in trouble or has hit a bad run of form If you don't bother with the press, your problem will prolly sort itself out eventually but a few choice words on the page page of the morning papers may speed up the process. Therefore you may go through several seasons not bothering with the press and not noticing an adverse affect. The game is not perfect by a long way but I dont think SI are so dumb as to add a time consuming aspect to the game if it was totally pointless (There's a lot of coding involved in even something as small as press conferences).
