Warm-up for substitutes (Feature Request)

[ralxndr42]

Having the option for bench players to engage in a warm-up during the game would be highly realistic. In fact, in every real-life match, it is crucial for substitute players to warm up before entering the field to prevent injuries. This feature introduces a level of realism to the game that can be applied broadly. It also ensures that the coach is consistently tasked with making the right decisions when it comes to managing the team.

 

Here are a couple of points:

• The coach is tasked with managing which players need to undergo a warm-up before entering the pitch. If this becomes too much work, players could delegate this responsibility to the fitness coach (an extra option).
• Players who enter the field without a proper warm-up are more susceptible to injuries.
• Players who have to do a warm-up during every game may become frustrated and demotivated if they do not get playing time. This adds another layer of complexity to the game.

Right, because these days every sub is struggling to meet the pace of the match.

It triggers me that after a player took a red card, a substitution is made 3s after...

This makes sense although I'd 100% delegate this to my staff. But more than the choice of who warms up, the consequences are interesting

Football manager substitutions happen rather impulsively and suddenly. The only way I can see it happen is if the ball stays in the game for a long enough time for players to do warm-ups before the substitution occurs or if you can set previous instructions for the substitutions that the substitution only happens after 3 min, 5 min of warm-up. This should also be an automatic feature when you confirm a substitution, with the player starting the animation of the substitution as long as the ball stays in game, and not getting to play should only happen when the player personally cancels the substitution.

Good point, i think warm up players or call a player to speed up the warm up will be a good feature.
