Chalky1989 Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Just thinking that it would be a nice feature if you could organise, or have your assistant organise your teams training in preseason. Not sure what impact it'd have on the gameplay, but it'd be nice to see a message telling me that my team have set off for their camp in Spain somewhere, and it could be a way of letting youth players know that they're part of my plans and I'm taking them to train with the first teamers. Obviously, not every club does it or can afford it, but it happens so it would add realism. Thoughts? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jibby123 Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 I always try and send my U19's to a quick pre-season tour of Afghanistan clubs. Not sure it's the same as a training camp, but I like to see it as character building in my in-game world!! What's 70 000 screaming Mancs (though not sure of % of those there are Mancs) that hate you at Old Trafford or playing against 90 000 Catalans in the Camp Nou after a few weeks in Helmand as a youth player??

Chalky1989 Posted September 27, 2010 Author Share Posted September 27, 2010 I'm sure that'd be quite the experience! They can use the Taliban as target practice, full points if you can hit them on the noggin with the ball from 100 yards. Though they'd also come back having learned to dive a bit better, I mean, they'd be hitting the deck so often that it'd be second nature. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
englandmanager Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 there was a management sim once that had this on it it would have things like this say if you sent your team to south america your squad would gain team building or in australia you would gain morale it had a STAR rating system as to what was best for your situation Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aderow Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Isn't that what the do in FIFA manager? I actually don't mind the idea. I remember watching Man Utd train a few days in chicago before playing some friendlies in the states Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kawee Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Man Utd didn't go to the America for preparation, but more so for financial gains. A better example is Arsenal going to Austria. Arsenal is one of the few big clubs who refuse to do the merchandising tour (last one I remember was the one they went to Thailand, back in the Petit days.) When Arsenal is at Austria, it's purely physical workout, and two matches with two unknown clubs. Just getting the players ready for the season, physically, before they start playing the "real" pre-season friendlies (eg. Emirates Cup) to get some match fitness and mind back into the game.

JojoVillaHursty Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 This would be great if it happend and would help with the youth development and things like. Giving the reserves a chance to force there way to the first team Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Furia Roja Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 I don't like the idea, don't see how that could help us particulary. Really? Not only would it improve fitness but also moral (the team being based in a camp together) also financial revenue if you went through Asia for example. I personally cant see how it would benefit your team? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally cant see how it would benefit your team? I personally play freindlies against my feeder teams away and that's just enough for me. Reserves and U-18 have their wn friendlies and I'm fine with that. Players practice anyway together no matter if they are in our camp in Asia, USA etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satio Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 it also increases realism, thats also how it helps. It gives a more realistic approach to the pre-season then. I would more than welcome the idea and have been hoping they would implement it for some time now, as whilst you can do tours of another country, a training camp should be able to give added benefits, like a secluded, out of the way of the press feel that helps players focus and develop away from transfer news too.

Bababui Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 The Special One likes to train his clubs at UCLA. Chelsea came here a couple of times and Real Madrid spent about 2 weeks here this summer. Good idea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
