Ha! I played one-nil, goal, goal94 before I got hooked on CM2 with CM97/98 getting me through uni. I've tried loads of others, but keep coming back to FM and now FMM as I'm old and have less time I'd love an extra bit of interest in building a good backroom team. I'd love a little extra coaching bonus back to coaches favourite teams / managers, so as a manager there are reasons to pick one coach over another. I'd especially like some depth around offering an ageing player a coaching role and getting a training bonus if you were his favourite player, the club his favourite, or he was a club legend (in terms of appearances, goals, etc) or a generation of youth having that coach as a favourite player. I also think the recent enhancements to player personality is fantastic and it would be awesome to extend this into the backroom staff. You might find the purchase of the training add on might be increased if your backroom team was a really good fit in other ways (Personality, club links, player links, etc) , but the coaches were poor and unlikely to achieve silver/gold badges...

Any feedback for my questions above? Cheers

I'm sure that in earlier games (I'm talking CM01/02??) you used to be able to select some players and tell the assistant to prioritise those picks where possible. You could also set the formation and tactics the assistant would use. It was great to set it running and come back at the end of the season to find out what happened.

Hi, Loving this year's game, much more involving (it feels more difficult in the lower leagues) which is great! I've a few questions... What does the coaches star rating mean? Is it ability? Is it potential (as in likely ability to pass the exams)? Is it reputation? Could do with a bit of explanation. The youth team development is awesome, think it's a great touch. I'm curious to know how it works... What are the benefits for leaving youth players in the youth teams vs promoting? Do they develop faster in or out of the youth team? Any pitfalls? Please can we have a warning note about loaning a player who is currently being mentored, as this is really annoying when you loan out a player to find that the mentoring has been cancelled and you've missed an opportunity with a young prospect. Cheers!

Really enjoying the game this year Couple of questions.. The star rating for the coach, what does this refer to? I have a silver coach at 3* and a bronze coach at 5*. How long has the player description been clickable?! That makes it much easier to understand player personality. When accepting a loan offer, would it be possible to have a warning note if the player is currently being mentored? It's annoying to find that a successful mentoring relationship is broken and you've lost the chance to develop a young player. Cheers!
