Katarian Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 On the other side of the coin we should see a conversation go like this:'Yes, boss, you wanted to see me?' 'I think this meeting has run it's course' 'Er, ok, bye, you mentalist' Heh. Though I do that quite a lot in game as it is the only way to find out what options for a conversation are available. So I invite the player in intending to talk to him about something and find the game won't let say what I want and send him away. I do it with the board as well when I'm trying to find out if an option to request an improvement is available. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norfair Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Out of all the things we can pick from to talk to our players, theres not a single comment to explain to a player I'm gonna drop him for a few games to test someone else out. All we can do is tell him we're gonna sub him cause he's tired (which often seems to not be well received so why bother, just drop him without talking to him). Stuff like this is after all the cornerstone of football for a manager; talking to your players about your first team in a normal "youre in/youre out" manner. Also agree with most posts. Player interaction is in dire need of almost a complete rework from scratch, thats how bad it is with all the insane logic and bugs floating around.

Ohdear Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Totally want the ability to tell players on both side of the mentoring set up to grow up and get on with it in a professional manner rather than refuse because they don't like each other. Also, some more sophistication in team meetings. I can't remember the last time I didn't manage to upset my entire team in a post season meeting. If I am optimistic about next season that's wrong. If I play our chances down that's wrong. What's bloody right? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dalnath Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I had injuries to my first and second choice right backs so I was forced to bring up a couple of guys from my reserves team. One of them has now recovered, so I dropped the weaker of the players back to the reserves team and he's complaining about it. I wish I could have told him that I was only bringing him up to the first team due to injuries to other players. For the record, he's nowhere near good enough to be on the first team, the only reason he's still at the club is because nobody even wants him on loan.

I would think his morale and motivation would take a pretty massive hit after that conversation. Maybe... but if I was to add something like 'but if you can prove yourself then there's a chance you could earn yourself a permanent place on the first team' then I don't see why he'd have a problem with that. Realistically though, he should realise that he's not even close to the level of the current first team players (he has one star for current rating and two for potential) and be grateful for any first team time he does get.

managerdude_66 Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 More of a UI feature: I'd like to be able to discuss a player's match performance (either criticize or praise) with the press rather than having to sit through the whole press conference. Right now this can only be achieved through the Interact with Player option. A UI link to the same would be nice (immediately after the team talk is done). Speaking of Team-Talks: The option to isolate groups of players to deliver a talk. For example: If my CM-L, DC-R and ST are doing badly, I'd like to talk to all three at once (giving the same team-talk ofcourse). Another talk which is lacking ATM: My team does well. Up 3-0 at half time. I'd like to tell (much rather WARN them) to keep up the same performance levels through out. Because if I praise them, their performance drops to shocking levels.

I'd like to tell (much rather WARN them) to keep up the same performance levels through out. Because if I praise them, their performance drops to shocking levels. We already have this one, it is called "Warn against complacency". A little less harsh version "you're doing well but could do even better". You could also skip team talk, which translates to "you know what to do". At 3-0 I usually praise cautiously anyway, because no amount of warning will really take away all complacency at that point. The rest is up to the professionalism of your players, and possibly Determination. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott8490 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 I know I fine you for getting sent off, but so long as you only do it once every so often before games I'd probably have rested you for anyway, I actually feel quite proud of you for it. (To the tune of total eclipse of the heart, and shamelessly nicked off the Yann Kermorgant YouTube vid) once upon a time I had faith in the guy, but now it's time for you to depart, what else can I say you were totally sh*t from the start. There should also be the option to physically assault the player in some light form or verbally insult him. For example when a young player agrees with you that he will never be good enough and that he should go. Utterly shocking behaviour. Show some fight man, I don't mind if you're deluded, but just giving up?? Unacceptable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Restrictedaccess Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Pre-season team talks need more stages, "Two seasons ago I told you we could get a mid-table finish, you didn't believe me and we finished 9th. Last season I told you Europa League was within reach, you didn't believe me and we qualified. So what the f*** makes you think that we can't make Champions league this season, you have the ambition of an alcoholic!" Also wish you could just scream at your players during half-time or post-match. "Are you guys freaking kidding me? That's a championship side you're losing against out there, and you're the supposed CL champions! If you don't get out there with your head in the game and win, the next training camp will be in North Korea!" Body language: Terrified. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
podunkboy Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 agree with all of these, wonder how many could make it into the game. I've had a run of players come in this season wanting to talk about "need to leave for new challenges"...with my response always "I need you here, you're an important part of what I want to accomplish" and they all go "okay, then, see you later". Last player I let go for this reason, he transferred to Wigan, played 6 games in 2 years, Bayern bought him, never played him, Juventus bought him, he didn't see the field in 18 months, he was released, and ended up in the Scottish Premier playing for Inverness CT and still telling the press what a great team WE are. Just shut up about us, if you'd stayed put you would have had another 150 games, won the Champions twice, and be making much more than ICT is playing you.

Kenco Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I've taken over a club at the end of August and within weeks 3 players have decided they will leave on a Bosman at the end of the season. I try to talk to them but I can't because they feel the relationship has broken down. But I've never even spoke to them in the past - any grievance they have is with the previous manager. Why can't I talk to them and try to convince them to reconsider, since I've now got the team to the top of the league and look very likely to clinch promotion?
