Body language depends on teams instructions

[nully29]

We know that FM is a deep game with many interconnected variables. Yet one thing surprised me today that I haven't noticed before. I was in the middle of a match with a couple of my players displaying "motivated" body language. I changed pressure setting from extremely urgent to merely "more urgent" and they went from "motivated" to "inspired". Amazed, I put the slider back to "extremely urgent" and they went "motivated" again. I did it few more times to make sure they indeed change body language as I move the pressure slider.

 

I'm not sure whether they were less familiar with extremely urgent pressure and thus were less inspired to perform it. Or they just didn't think that extremely urgent pressure is a good idea. I tried to recreate the same reactions few times later in the match,but failed to get any reactions with other tactical changes.

 

Still, it's one of those moments where you appreciate how deep and immersive the FM world is.
