RT-- Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 I don't know if this has been mentioned elsewhere - I did try searching - but it's a small niggle I have with the fan confidence aspect of the game. Basically, when you sign players who are 16/17/18 as 'hot prospects' or 'promising youngsters', and give them a couple of games in the first team, the fans seem to judge them as if they were regular squad players, saying they're a bad signing if they've had the odd match-rating of 6. I don't know if this has been re-worked for 09, but if it hasn't, I think it could do with looking at for future versions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack_man Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 yerp, more than likely bin sorted in fm09 though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike7077 Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Yeah, this has been mentioned quite a few times. To be honest, I've always wondered why SI didn't think about this when they implemented the feature. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike7077 Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 The thing is, though, they get over it after a while. So it doesn't tend to cause any problems. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neji Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 The thing is, though, they get over it after a while. So it doesn't tend to cause any problems. Pretty much like the whole confidence feature in 08. I just totally ignore it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee Aja Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 I bought a youngster, his squad status was "hot prospect" as he was only 17 or 18. Of course, he played 2 meaningless games and the fans described my signing of him as "An Aberration" :confused: As Neji says, just ignore it as there is no long-term damage.

Richie Brill Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 I had this once after signing Henri Saivet for Man Utd, him and Fleck after a few seasons became the new Rooney and Tevez and sold both players for a combined total of about £120m, Rooney being more expensive at about £70m I think, fans weren't happy with the sales but were more than happy with Fleck and Saivet upfront once I beat Chelsea 4-0!

Arsenal_Fan_1986 Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 I bought a player and was told they think it was more of an economical purchase? Cheeky! How dare they! P.S I bought him for 250k and sold him for 5mil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter-evo Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 I agree, they should be able to differentiate a hot prospect to a squad player, it frustrates me sometimes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomHAVFC Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Board confidence has been improved for 09 as Miles has said before. We'll just have to wait and see how it's improved. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
YesYesOhYay Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 was the first time the confidence system has been used so bound to be tweaks needed! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VonBlade Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 was the first time the confidence system has been used so bound to be tweaks needed! That's no excuse. When designing a new feature they should automatically decide how the supporters will treat youngsters, cheap players, and how they'll adjust their opinion based upon the players squad rating (backup, youngster etc). The amount of times I've (and I've got 900million in the bank) brought a player for about half a million and they think they've been "an expensive purchase", or a player for 10 million who "was a economical purchase" is ridiculous. I've got a youngster who's played five first team games, scored four goals at an average of 6.7 and is apparently a terrible purchase. Ok it's been fixed. Good. No excuse for it being so broken in the first place. You should be especially vigilant about how well new features work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're talking basic, fundamental problems that shouldn't have been there. It's a good job they were largely cosmetic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
