ElJaffacakeo Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Is there a bigger waste of time in the game? "The team plays well using 4-1-2-1-2 formation" I know, that is why I use it! (It also has the button 'Set to 4-1-2-1-2 formation'....why??? I already play that!) "The team plays well using a narrow formation" I know, that is why we play narrow! "The team dont get complacent against teams with a smaller reputation" I know! "The team plays well against teams with a higher reputation" So i can see! On top of useless information from my so called coaches, I also get useless scouting recommendations "Such and such would be a good signing/prospect for the future". No he wouldnt, you have told me in the meeting that he would be a good player but in your scout reports that I have asked you to compile, you said he would be a decent signing! Honestly, after these meetings I feel like sacking half of my coaches/scouts and leaving everything to my ass man who (apart from me ) seems to be the only staff member capable of anything! I am not at some poxy team either, AC Milan no less! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Play Up Pompey! Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 They can be a bit stupid sometimes; for example one of mine tells me "Player X should not be taking penalties" when he has 17 penalty taking and hasn't missed one yet for me.

Mansleg Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 I like the backroom meetings. And out of habit I only ever listen to adivce if it is agreed with by a second member of staff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
5legend Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 some of the advice can be quite bad (ones like the OP posted), but some of them can be quite good (scout reccomendations, staff recommendations) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandy Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 I find the staff recommendations pretty good. Some of the youth products are worth a look to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertcornell68 Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 I find player and staff recommendations quite useful. And all it takes to scout a player is one mouse click, so I think, "sure, why not?" Everything else, I just ignore. The constant "player X shouldn't be taking set-piece Y" drives me mad.

McBride Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Some coaches have higher attributes and, presumably, more knowledge in different fields. I tend to listen to the coach with higher training rating on training issues and the one with higher tactics on tactical issues etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KYMYK Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 I never listen to "Player X shouldn't be taking setpiece Y". Useless ever since it was implemented. On the other hand, staff/player recommandations are really good.. and I also like the ocasional "Player X should try W" and "Player X should improve in Z".

sjm Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 My staff recommendations are a complete waste of time. Because none of them could ever be signed due to the fact they want 4-20x the maximum salary the club can offer. It would be nice if the recommendations actually took into account the club you're at and the wages the staff might want. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howie Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 I follow the scout recommendations because usually they are pretty good players for the team. I follow up on recommendations for Individual training if it's something I'd want to player to be doing. I never ask them to train their weaker foot, come back to collect etc... I always ignore their directions on dead ball takers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
50tna05 Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Another vote for how good the scout recommendations are. Picked up Leigh Griffiths because of them. He then went on to become my top goal scorer (signed him in January) and signing of the season (premier league) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
