cruiseee Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 The backroom advice are mostly random. I know, as are the assistant manager's comments when you send him to press conferences. He says things like a certain play will be rested due to tiredness even though the player's fitness is 96% and match fitness 100%. I often get players reacting badly to recent manager comment due to the ass man's comments in press conferences. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomasmc135 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Why are my players always 'reluctant' when I speak to them about tutoring someone? Heck, even the player that will be tutored is 'reluctant'. It doesn't make any sense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PG41 Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 During a match: FM: Player X has picked up a knock and is at 85%. Do you want to take him out or leave him in? Me: Leave him in. FM (brings up tactics screen): No. You have to take him out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott MUFC Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 even funnier when they are fine for next match, yet the other injured guy who carried on is out for 3-4 weeks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CityAndColour Posted September 2, 2012 Author Share Posted September 2, 2012 Player condition: 95% = can't continue, has to come out. Player conditiuon: 45% = can continue if required. Every. Single. Time. The higher the condition, the more likely he'll have to be subbed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Govnar1 Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Superstars (Ronaldo, Messi, Gómez...) in non active leagues play around 10 league matches a season and don't participate in any domestic cup games. And than Messi becomes world footballer of the year despite taking part in grand total of 11 league games (no Barcelona did not win CL and Argentina failed miserably once again during WC)!

Guest avine Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Accidently pressing match report or upload highlights and having to wait the engine to generate the data. A confirm button required. unacceptable if not added!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
micksan80 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 That annoying asterisk that is next to EVERY player record to tell us that it is only valid from 05.07.2011. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenzar Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Pointless animations on the match engine. Why do I need to see a physio dot (I play in 2d mode) come on for an injury? That one I can live with, but why have the subs warming up randomly? I wouldn't mind if the sub warming up was about to come on..in fact I'd WELCOME that...

The Governator Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Me: Hey, Assistant, we're coming up against (side with crap defence) soon, can you compile a report? Assistant: Sure! 3 days later... "I recommend that we focus on attacking movement to capitalise on the defensive vulnerabilities of the opponent" The next week... Me: Hey, we're coming up against (team with the four best defenders in the world) next match, get me a report! Assistant: Absolutely! 3 days later... "I recommend that we focus on attacking movement to capitalise on the defensive vulnerabilities of the opponent" Seeing the same advice time and time again infuriates me. I know that isn't the exact wording, but you guys must know what I mean. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nellie Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 The press: so Nellie who do you think will be (young) player/golden boot/Player of the year. Me: Well Mr journalist, I've been very impressed with <player> becoming a first team regular at 19 and scoring nearly 50 goals in his debut season must make him a shoe in for play..... Or apparently this 20 year old defender I've never heard of with an average rating of 6.76 across the 5 appearences he made and his several equally anonymous mates. I had them all scouted just in case I missed something obvious but they do indeed all appear to be so bad I wouldn't even loan them to my feeder club out of spite so I guess I'm going to have to go with "no comment" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that isn't the exact wording, but you guys must know what I mean. Exactly the reason why I don't use assistant reports on future opponents. They are useless unless you are a tactic freak, and if you are a tactic freak, then you don't need an assistant report, because it does not help you much anyway - you do the research and scouting yourself.

BiggusD Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Oh I am sooooo looking forward to hear from my scout how a certain talented youngster did in the last match for his loan club. Waiting excitedly for the report, which reads "...had a miserable game mainly due to his inability to win headers" ... which is a strange thing to say considering that he is a 160cm tall creative winger, and that he went into 1 aerial challenge in the match and lost it. Nevermind that he was the best player for his team which played badly because they lost to a better team. Yep, very helpful indeed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinji Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 I've only just stumbled on this thread and I'm at work, I wish I had the time to read through it all now as I'm laughing every other comment. One annoying thing I've noticed recently is the sheer number of my players who apparently "is having trouble motivating himself to play for you due to your low reputation". (this is on the "match reports" section of the reports tab on the player profile). It's just unrealistic. I took over Plymouth Argyle, penniless having come out of administration, very few decent pros and all youngsters, massively in debt, expected to bravely struggle in League 2, and I get us promoted in 2nd place. I then steer us to a safe mid table (10th place) in league one, reach the FA Cup quarter finals scraping past 3 lower-Prem teams before losing to Chelsea 1-0, despite being favourites for relegation and with one of the lowest wage budgets. The board are very pleased with me, the fans spokesman says the fans are behind me - yet the majority of my players, hardly any of whom have any reputation themselves, even including those who were integral parts of my promotion season, are having trouble motivating themselves due to my low reputation. Having previously not been paid for months and knowing that a bad manager could ruin the club and their livelihoods, they'd be loving me IRL, thanks to me they're all playing at a higher level and doubling their wages come contract time. But that doesn't count, no, it's my reputation silly. Makes me feel like sacking all the ungrateful gits! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
grep Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 The most annoying thing and the biggest source of wasting time is when you have to propose a player to be sold. If the player is quite weak you have to " send faxes " every day and only after months someone eventually come offering 3 cents. It is mandatory IMO, to avoid to waste time, an automated task but just for the players specified by me, a feature that is not covered I guess from the Director of Football.

ommerson Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 -Backroom advise that tell me to drop my 4-star keeper due to poor performance, while my only alternative is a half-star younster. -Backroom advise recommending worthless coaches or scouts (ie PA and PP below 5) who would be excellent additions to the staff. -news that rolls through while processing concerning totally random, worldspreading, unsignificant results or transfers, like some kid being transferred from one hongkong club to another, or the result of Bahrein-U19's - Oman-U19's. -having to vote for the world player of the year while I am but a mediocre manager in the danish 3rd tier. -I've stopped asking my assistant to take the press conference as he only talks total rubbish (although he has reasonable stats). -hitting the cross-bar 8 times, every once in 4 games. -having a goalkeeper rush out to easily intercept a (too) long pass, but suddenly stop in his tracks near the box-line to allow the striker to get to the ball and score. -being a successful manager in a particular country, getting promoted and such, but never getting any interest from other clubs in that country, not even from similar level or even lower level clubs. I've been promoted in Denmark, and pushing for another promotion, all with almost zero budget, but not the slightest interest what so ever. This actually annoys me the most, as I like a nice journeyman career in which I dont have to apply myself but get asked spontanously to manage a club due to my good performances at another club. Since FM10 I havent been asked to take a job without me actively applying for the job. Not really good for this topic I imagine, this is not very insignificant to me.

scott MUFC Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 when you buy a Defencive midfielder..... yet they cant play in CM >.< when you try and buy a young striker you want for your developing first teamin the championship... then a top club comes along and takes them to rot in reserves, as they match the bid.
