Do you type press conference responses?

Personally, I like to type the responses to the press conference questions (unless they're asking the same question for the 50th time in 45 conferences) as it gives me a sense of realism.

On another note, why is the response box so small and the character limit so short? There's a load of room above where the box is now, so I think it would be a good idea to make it bigger for those that like to type more than 20 words. Hopefully this can be done in a patch, as it would add more (user-generated) realism to the slightly limited press conferences...

I did but I got bored of doing so, so I stopped.

I don't because it's completely pointless.

I don't have FM09, but I assume such things are just cosmetic since obviously the game can't interpret your comment?

Apparently if you type a bunch of expletives, it recognises them. But other than that, it is entirely cosmetic.

I usually add some extra comments here and there.

it makes it better and not as repetitive, but it takes longer , and once i swore on it and got a fa warning!?!

Other than swear words, it doesn't recognise anything you type. That pretty much makes it pointless, for me.

It's wholly pointless, but sometimes I do.

Usually when there is a "right" answer (yes they are playing very well, yes I hope to win, yes I'm confident) I select that but give my real answer in the box. Just to pass the time.

@ above. And it doesn't even recognise them well. Say you're "damn proud" and it counts as an "expletive filled" answer.

Why would I type an answer if I'm the only one to see it ? and above that, it has no influence on the game

I dont do press conferences at all theyre really boring and repetative

no i dont.... i got bored really quickly with the press conferences and now send assistant manager to them all

Off topic, but what's with the Editor Patch v1.1 at the top? Sounds exciting.

The 1st one was great!

Then the second one came along & i thought Ohhhhh this is gonna be annoying

Iv'e found out that if you do them yourself you win more matche's,

no i don't does it have any effect on anything?

Have to ask my ass manager as I never go

It recognises certain words, I just got home and loaded up because I have a spare hour and decided to type "Shut Up Och Aye Tha Noo", but it didn't use the whole quote

No point, waste of time and effort!

Your picture is Mint!!! haha

the box that lets you put what ever you want i didnt think the computer would mention it i thought it was a watse of time lol

I'll be using that box more often

Your picture is Mint!!! haha

That's what I really look like

You're very young for a manager.

That's what I really look like

i admire your honesty

"First of all i'd like to say, i've been playing CM/FM since 1922."

Have you really?

Cuz if that's true your picture tells us otherwise

totally pointless and already a waste of my time and effort as it is

Thanks for the compliments lads, but I think the camera must have caught my good side.

I've posted the changelist here.

On the subject of press conferences, I don't manually type out a response. I may well do if I am giving an angry response, or if I'm in network games with friends where I'm not the only one in the world who will ever see what I put.

I honestly think talking to yourself is taking escapism to a whole new and potentially unsavoury level.

ermmm ok 2 choices in that box.

1: swear.

2: dont swear thus being pointless what you typed.

Is there some sort of Editor in which you can add more press conference questions? There should at least be 50 I think, not the current 20 or so.

I have sworn in that box in a few times but I dont really see the point of it, hopefuly its a feature that will get expanded in future. I dont even go to press conferences anymore just send the assistant.

i dont go i send the assistant i do somtimes though if i have won a match and in a good mood.

will have to try out the swearing and tell them to shut up though that seems like fun!

I sometimes type responses... Like this season, being asked about who I though would win the title. I said Derby and then put down a soundbite that would define the decade in football: "COME ON YOU RAMS!!!"

Then there's the time that I got fed up with being asked the same question over and over again: "[removed...]"...

Strangly enough I'm not sure it noticed what I said... The next time I did it though! I guess it doesn't understand some words.

Then again, my first press conference on the demo, in one of my more mature moods: "James Clarke Confident ahead of Cardiff Clash. The new Derby manager was in high spirits heading into his first match against Cardiff. When asked if the pressure would get to him he responded: "I don't feel pressure at all. Actually, I feel rather calm". He also added: "Penis!""

Sadly the media missed this amazing statement about the state of the world.

If there was more answers and questions that related to each other then i would love it, but atm its far too basic and the answers avaliable arnt the best to use.

Only when I am bothered or am just too excited

send ass man all the time, waste of time press conferances.

I do, Only on network play tho as I not to fussed with it offline as I just let my Ass do it.

Only done so once and that was to test out the feature. Don't do it on a regular basis though.

Letting your assistant do it is risky... They are a bunch of idiots!

Heck no, talk about tedious!

And people moan about EA putting nonsense fluff into games!
