IbrahimAliMaher Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 I took over a club in the Greek Superleague midway through the season, starting with a semi-pro reputation. The team were relegated at the end of that season, with my assistant commenting that players were struggling to motivate themselves to play for me. The next season in the lower division there were no reports of these issues, however now we have been promoted again I'm getting the same message regarding players who have been with me from the start. My reputation is currently 'national', so I don't really see why I'm getting this? It would have been like Newcastle's players struggling to motivate themselves to play for Chris Hughton this season, though maybe that would explain why he got sacked?! How long will this persist for? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IbrahimAliMaher Posted May 18, 2011 Author Share Posted May 18, 2011 Are you their favoured personel? Doubt it, as they all kept moaning about wanting to move to a bigger club but I kept hold of most of the better players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazaru5 Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 your reputation is too low for your team, the hidden attribute for reputation is too low that is... you need to win things to increase your reputation so that it matches the division you are in and the club you are at... when it does the players will no longer be "struggling to motivate themselves for you".

phnompenhandy Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Indeed, the players are looking down on you and don't respect you. You can try shipping them out. that's why i always start with a lowly club and create a squad of youngsters loyal to me personally. It's the way to prevent all sorts of personality issues happening later on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiggusD Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 It'll pass as soon as they start to love you because you praise them so much when they crush their opponent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazzaboygee Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 thanks for the quick response. i spend a full week tweeking mastering my tikidazza(lawl) tactic used it with my german save AWESOMESAUCE results and then with my ranger save awesomesauce results, chelsea come in for me now im just automatic for rangers job 5 seasons before and my rep isnt anywhere near chelsea. this explains why it dont look like the same tactic i used for two other teams saves what ever lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzaboygee Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 if i win the captial one cup will it improve or isit champions league i need to win lol (juan mata and hazard are the main switcher offers) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiggusD Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 I think everything you win will help, but if you got the Chelsea job by headhunting you are certainly not that far behind Mata and Hazard. Regardless of reputation there is a bedding-in period where none of the players really trust you, so if you keep at it you will gradually get there. It is surely annoying, though. I don't switch clubs like you do so the career realism argument doesn't even count for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzaboygee Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 yeah fair point i never really thought of a "6month period" or so, bedding in time but yeah they saw my sauce at rangers and say hey. only reason i switched is the new games out soon and i kinda had rangers going great and i obviously want to start the new game with them so i saw it as an oppertunity for "break" considering ill be back in league 1 with them in a few month lol. german save is me and my buddys save. I like sticking with a club and making them epic from small. (German club is Nurnberg) permission too just say "ok" so you have final post again you have been helpful thanks again .

Flohrinho Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Yeah it's strictly a reputation thing. I started my career game as a Sunday league footballer and got a job in the German first league after only 4 years managing lower league clubs and only achieving one promotion from the second to the first league. It took me 3 second places in the league, one cup win, one EL final and 2 manager of the year awards until I finally got rid this of the switching off players this season, my 5th year in charge of the club I'm managing atm. So yeah depending on your starting reputation it can take a while until you gain the respect of all of your players, especially those who have a very high reputation themselves.

Back then I wrote: that's why i always start with a lowly club and create a squad of youngsters loyal to me personally. It's the way to prevent all sorts of personality issues happening later on. Here's an FM13 update - I did the same thing but this time I flopped spectacularly and once I fell to the foot of the table (Blue Square Premier) I got sacked! What went wrong? Can't put my finger on it, but in every match the majority of the players were "looking anxious" - and playing like it too - my striker with decent attributes was scared to shoot and the rest rushed their shots, and then there were the fatal hesitations at the back. I tried the 'relax, enjoy yourselves' speeches but nothing worked. I suspect the key point was that I'd created the whole squad to be 16-17 years old - not one older head. Being so young they were physically very weak and got constantly pushed off the ball. So basically, having a high managerial reputation is necessary, but isn't the ONLY factor to consider. The players - or at least some of them - need to be tough and mature enough to play competitive football against big boys. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The players - or at least some of them - need to be tough and mature enough to play competitive football against big boys. Normally I would do much the same, but in FM13 you can't trust youngsters to go all the way for you every match so I have had to get quality experience as well. I started in Portsmouth in League One (in 2017) as Automatic I think (can't remember) and I didn't have that many problems after winning promotion on the back of superior free signings the first season. I think I had a cracking second half of the season, once the team and I settled in. The problem arises when your start isn't that good and you don't enter that good form state that can be maintained with relative ease. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheva Elite Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 So THAT explains it. My Lazio team mug me off the whole time! I wondered why.... At Spezia they all loved me, and I could make them happy just by walking into the room. At Lazio, they all laugh at me and demand a transfer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
