Interaction- What is needed?

Ever wanted to express your interest in a player? Ever wanted to express your delight at your entire team? In FMH those two features have only been available if you’re the AI. You have seen news items such as “Player X is rumoured to be on his way to Team X (Your Team) and you cannot do much about it, speculation wise. It would be good to confirm or deny these rumours like in FMH’s big brother FM.

So far the only way to interact with your players is to release statements publicly or privately have a word to them positively (good form) or negatively (bad form). It would also be good to praise the entire team of the last match on their performance. For example if you are Wigan and you beat Chelsea, you could be able to praise the entire team on the huge victory, rather than going round one by one.

What is needed?

Manager Interaction- For your next opponent you could possibly create a bigger build up to the next match by playing mind games in the press about the manager.

Transfer Interaction- In FMH there is minimal ways to respond to any transfer rumours. If I recall correctly, there is no ways to respond to transfer news. In FM there are options to say whether you will sell the player at the right price, willing to listen to any offers or to issue a hands-off warning. You should be able to do this in FMH, it would add more depth and realism to the game.

Fans Interaction- In the press it would be ideal to make a speech to the fans. If you are struggling at the wrong end of the table and they are protesting, you could be able to release a statement pleading for their support and tell them that the team will only survive if the fans give them their full backing.

Player Interaction- Yes, player interaction is already in the game but it is not very good. More interaction that could be included with players is appointing captains etc. Should be able to give them a morale boost by telling players who are in poor form and have a low morale to keep their heads up and battle on.

All these would be a good part of the game, should they be included. They would more add depth and realism to the game and it would make FMH players feel more involved in the game.

If you have any more suggestion please don't hesitate on posting below.

Read that on vibe the other day - I definitely want to expand the interaction with the media, board and players going forward .... but it'll take time and its important to balance things so they don't become repetitive and boring imho.

Like the press conferences in FM? XD

Think it would be good to tell players to stfu, stop crying to the press and do the job we pay you to do. E.g. if they are complaining and wanting a new contract (Not mentioning any names but *Balottelli*), you can just say to them "Earn a new contract, start playing well. If you don't, you will not get a new contract, simple as"

Some tweaks to the interface, media and player interaction and rewards. I want a trophy cabinet! But yes, you do need to avoid what the press conferences in the CM app are like. The same questions every time, the same answers to try to manipulate the ratings. Yawn.
