cant win.

tell your team they played bad when they did and they react badly, tell your team they are pleased when you win and they react badly or switch off..

It's not that hard to get good responses from your players. I can barely remember getting a "red" reaction from a team talk. In three-and-a-half seasons, I reckon it's happened no more than ten times.

so when it says player played well, so you say well done good job, they either switch off or get pissed off, and then when it says played bad or has a bad rating and you say, im not happy they still get anoyed.?

despite this anoyance to me i am still top of the league and qualified for champions league knock out stage beeing in a griuop with Inter and valencia.

players react fine for me when I tell them what I think, starting rep or a bad run of form maybe

maybe your alot better at fm or have more experiance, id jusgesti am possibly using wrong tone. after all it was put there just to make the game that bit extra indepth and give more variety..

It depends on your reputation compared to your players. If you are a beginner at Man City (or similar) then the players will not listen to you unless you have a decent reputation.

If you have a low reputation, I find the "calm" voice to be by far the best way to go! It could also help to let the assistant manager do the team talk if he has a better reputation, but look at his advice on forehand cause sometimes he says some rly ******** things = )

+1 for AssMan if you are struggling.

Do think about your player personality types/player moods, whats good for one player might not be good for another! I can usually turn reds into greens with some tweaking of individual or positional team talks. dont do more than two tweaks though or players can react badly!

tell your team they played bad when they did and they react badly' date=' tell your team they are pleased when you win and they react badly or switch off..

Your job as a manager is NOT to tell your players the truth!

If you just lost a match, the morale will go down - so try to stop it from doing that.

If you just won a match the morale will go up, but if it goes too much up they may become complacent or uninterested - so try to restrain their joy a little.

If they switch off they have likely higher reputation than you do. Or they are just unambitious or unprofessional.

Edit: also, pay close attention to the pre-match odds and media predictions because they will often tell you what the players expect to get out of the match.
