pret Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 After a match where a player gets an 8/10 rating, I thought I'd tell him i was happy with his performance, then he says he thought he was a bit rubbish? If he performed fairly well, then I could understand if he thought he wasn't great, but 8 out of 10 is an excellent performance so why is he unhappy with that?

JamieWilliams Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 I don't know. Did you say "delighted"? Apparently it's not good to praise them too much? Or maybe he's "perfectionist" or some other niche personality. I've hired a top class assistant manager, delegated this function to him and find that he mostly just looks at the result and if it's a below expectations win, usually says nothing.

KYMYK Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Newbie mistake. You praised him for 1 match. He tought you are telling him about his last 5 games. That's just how it works in this game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he performed fairly well, then I could understand if he thought he wasn't great, but 8 out of 10 is an excellent performance so why is he unhappy with that? How good have the other players been? I've had severall games where one player get 8 and a other get 9, for example, and the 8 one didn't reacted well to my praise even if i said in the private chat that I was deligted with is performance on his last game.

milnerpoint Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 did you press continue after the game before praising him? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjm Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Had this too, the upshot was that some players react badly to praise. Think KYMYK has got the wrong end of the stick; I take it you mean you chose to comment on performance in previous match, as I did too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
her0n Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I've found this explanation on bugs forum. It's because when you comment on a player in their last match, it is comparing them against all of the other players who played in that match, there were 4 players that performed better than him so the player is thinking that the praise is undue given that other players stood out more.

stevio11 Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Never had a problem praising players with 9 when others have 8, it means thye put that little bit more in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pret Posted February 4, 2011 Author Share Posted February 4, 2011 I've found this explanation on bugs forum. I like, explains a lot actually, if the manager singled me out for praise, no matter how well I played if everybody else had played better than me then I'd understand Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Rubbish" is not the right word here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhyMe Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 The praise at the moment is indeed a comparison to the other players in the match. If for your team you have 3 guys who get a 9 say and one guy who gets a 7.8 if you praise the guy who gets 7.8 as well as those who got a 9 he won't be happy. However, if in another match you have a guy who gets 7.4 say the goal scorer in a 1-0 win and everyone else gets 6.9 a fairly common scenario in a comfortable 1-0 win then the 7.4 guy will be happy with your praise. It is a really easy way to get your best players to think you are wonderful! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
