LiquidFury Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 So after a superb performance, I decided to give my star striker some praise. He scored 2 goals in a 4-2 victory, and attained a match rating of 9.3. You'd have thought he'd accept some praise, right? Well as the second photo shows, he thought he hadn't played particularly well. Bug? Error? Incredibly self-critical player? I don't know. Anybody else had similar experiences?

milnerpoint Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 did you press continue after the match before praising? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Raver Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Agreed, its rubbish. I praised a player who played rubbish just to see what would happen, 5.2 rating, and he said thanks and he hopes he can keep his current form up. It's so bad I don't bother with private chats on match performances now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiquidFury Posted October 31, 2011 Author Share Posted October 31, 2011 did you press continue after the match before praising? No, I talked to him straight after the press conference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
milnerpoint Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 No, I talked to him straight after the press conference. hmm that could prob be logged as a bug then, my only thought was you had maybe tried to praise him right after the game, before you pressed continue, but if you did the press conference then it should have been fine.

robertcornell68 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Had both of these. Player rated 9.0, me: well played; player = I sucked; morale = abysmal Player rated 5.2; me = not good enough; player = no, I was brilliant; morale = abysmal To be honest, I could just about accept the second reaction from a difficult player but EVERYONE likes to be praised when they've done well, let alone super-egomaniacs like professional footballers.

lawstraljan11 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 I got a player with a 9.9 rating, 4 goals unhappy with his performance. Not once either, happened a few times now! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kain Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 It actually feels like their reactions are the wrong way around completely. Players who have had a poor game seem to expect praise; players who have been amazing think they deserve a rollocking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PLF Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 I'm thinking it might be because game wasn't continued as well and so he's still thinking about the prior match and not the one that JUST ended?! If you have a save from right after the game (That's what I always do, save as soon as a match is done), then maybe you can try this and see if problem still exists. If it does, yeah I'd say definitely a bug. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

0gris Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Welcome to individual talks. Avoid ANY sort of praise/criticism unless it's related to their training performance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfgrigg Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Welcome to individual talks. Avoid ANY sort of praise/criticism unless it's related to their training performance. The irritating thing is that it was working very well in last year's version. It became a core part of my management style. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galo Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 I have been getting this as well. Also happens when you praise their recent form, even if it has been spetacular. For some reason they will disagree and get a morale drop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PLF Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Wow sounds like everyone's having problems with this. Haven't tried myself yet. If that's the case, surely a patch should be on route to fix this! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUFCAlex Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Happened to me the first few times i did private chats they always play well and dont accept praise the *******. Also have never seen them use any tone other than "reluctant" or "calm" if you call them for a chat its disrespectful for them to automatically come in reluctantly. "oh no not this again he's about to praise me for scoring 7 goals in the last match, tut" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiggusD Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 The problem arises when a player gets an average rating of 9.0 or higher. He won't accept praise then, both in post-match team talks and in private chats. His morale should be superb after a performance like that anyways, so there isn't really a point in praising him.

phnompenhandy Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Not sure its a bug. I had a habit of praising Mom in private but in FM12 they respond like that so I dont bother. My assumption is that my players are very professional (hidden att) so dont need praising and are, as you say, self-critical. Not a bug, just SI interpretation that I think is a bit off.

Yeah my players from the lowest playable league in england are too professional that must be it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hluraven Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Demba Ba scored a hat-trick for Newcastle yesterday. His quote after the game ""I am playing at a good level but I can still get better, that is for sure," Ba told BBC Newcastle. "So I am going to just continue working hard." http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/15536524.stm Pretty similar although I would agree it seems overblown if it happens regularly with many different players Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PLF Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Yeah but that's a quote to media where he could sound humble or like a cocky jackass instead. But when Alan Pardew I'm sure told him he'd played very well and praised him after the match, he didn't get mad at the manager or say what the hell are you talking about, I'm tired of this!? How dare you praise me. He probably said Thanks Boss, glad to hear you liked the performance and I'll try even harder next game and walk away with a smile and confident knowing his manager now trusts him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
