Team Talks

Do they help the performance in anyway?

Whenever i use a team talk i look at team talk feedback and get a lot of didnt seem to be listening for some reason:S

what would you say is the most effective team talk at the start of game + losing at half time + winning at half time in a close game so that the players take notice.

I'm not too sure they make that much of a difference really.:confused:

Yh they do . Look at your assistant reports after the game . Sometimes you will notice that players get motivated , or are happy/unhappy at what you siad to them

Individual team talks are always important IMO.

They can affect player morale, which affects performance.

It depends on which team you're playing really. If I'm playing a smaller club I usually say I expect a win, any other games I tell them "they can win this game" or "do this for the fans". Usually when I'm a goal down at half time, I say that I expect them to come back & win the match.

I find that these team talks are most effective.

I find linking your team talk to your approach to the game works well ie playing my attacking tactic i will say 'you can win this' or playing my counter i'd say 'do this for the fans' and playing my control tactic i'd say 'relax and the result will come'. I'd also say 'i have faith' or 'no pressure, to individuals who have low morale.

Makes a massive difference and can be the difference between winning and losing, I think its a major factor in conceding early goals along with choosing the wrong tactics of course!

Im a little sceptical as my Assman is noted to be "spineless"

teamtalks are horrible in the game

you can take your league two team to the fa cup final and find after the match that none of the players were really listening

infuriating

I agree. The team talk idea is great and I generally think it works well but there are definitely a few parts that need ironing out.

Team talks have a dramatic effect on the game. Having the right players in the right positions playing with the right tactics is only half the story because if your team talk is rubbish then most proberly they will not win.

This is a great thread which will help with team talks:

Team talks are the single worst addition to FM. Ever.

Team talks are the single worst addition to FM. Ever.

Certainly in their current guise.

They are monotonous at best, and at worst catastrophic.

Monotonous I don't mind. Media interaction is monotonous, but you always have a neutral option which means you can ignore it. Get a team talk wrong and you might as well go and make a cup of tea for the second half because it doesn't matter what you do with your tactics or substitutions your players seem to lose morale to such an extent that they can't win tackles or pass the ball or anything after a team talk that hits the wrong note. And I'm not talking about things like telling the players you are angry when 4-0 up, I'm talking about when you say you are pleased 2-0 up against superior opposition or say you don't want performance to drop when 2-0 up against a pub team.

For the pathetic lack of options you have, they are far, far, far, far, far, far too influential.

I also love how being pleased and emploring to keep a performance up in the second half are mutually exclusive.

I would like to see one in which, if the opposition have a man sent off, you could say.."right lads, lets get out there and give them a tanking"!

I have my ass man do them and my players seem to respond very well to them

Judging by the way my Ass Man antagonises my players with his teamtalks in pre-season friendlies (antagonism which takes the form of them moaning at the way I speak to theplayers on matchday!!) I don't dare let him near my team talks in competitive matches, at least not in an automated way anyway - I often see what his advice is and then ignore it though.

I often see what his advice is and then ignore it though.

I do too, although I wish there was a single button that could reverse this, as it gets tedious taking the individual "disappointed" option off of 10 players.

Funny thing is my manager never suggests that I be angry or delighted at the two extremes and I never see him use these team talks of his own accord either yet he still manages to make a pigs ear of the whole process despite that!

I've had instances where I'll be 3-0 up at HT, 60% of possession, opposition hasn't had a shot or even ventured into their own half, et al.

So who gets the individual 'disappointed' talk from the assistant? My bloody keeper. I'm assuming he scuffed the one pass he was required to make or something. Or maybe he should be getting down the other end and having shots?

My keeper can't pass a ball to save his life and usually ends up with ~20% pass completion in a game so I guess if he never has to make a save I guess his passing will influence his rating quite strongly!
