RDG_BlueAndWhite Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Hi. This is just a suggestion to SI for the game, which could maybe be included in the next patch. I think that if you sign a foreign player out side of the transfer window who can't speak the language of the nation he'll be coming to, he should start learning as soon as the deal is concluded, instead of the current "not until he arrives". The thought came to me when I signed a Brazilian for Reading on my game. I concluded the deal in mid-September, so he wouldn't actually arrive until January. His 'Player Happiness' was that he was looking forward to moving clubs. However, now he's here, my assistant says he has trouble fitting in becuase of the language barrier. Now, if that scenario were to happen IRL, then you just know that the player would be learning the language before he made the move. He had a full three and a half months to learn English, plenty of time to get the basics. It's just a thought. It would help the game, in that there wouldn't be such a problem in terms of the language barrier, and also make it more realistic. What are your thoughts?

RDG_BlueAndWhite Posted November 17, 2008 Author Share Posted November 17, 2008 BUMP: Sorry, I normally hate it when threads are bumped, but I really wanted to hear people's thoughts on this, and maybe see if SI will incorporate it into the next patch for 09.

jod123 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I think this is a good suggestion and obviously is logical. All things like this add up to make the game more realistic and better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GavinZac Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Maybe it would depend on the player's motivation and adaptabilty. You could even get a nice little news message saying 'Linguinho has started learning English by watching old Monty Python films' and so on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 'Linguinho has started learning English by watching old Monty Python films' As long as it doesn't affect his walking ability too much... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
