Like so many people, I've been experimenting a bit with ChatGPT lately. The following feature request was born under that impression. I am very aware that this is not a feature that can be easily integrated into Football Manager and that requires changes deep down in the core of the game. So why do I post this? I think it could open up a perspective for the long term development of Football Manager and would heavily contribute to the goal to create the most realistic football manager simulation possible.
Purpose: To make Football Manager as a text-based game more dynamic and turn repetitive situations like press conferences, discussions with staff and agents etc. into real conversations.
Key Features:
Improved News Generation: Chat AI could automatically generate news articles, reports and ingame social media posts based on real-time events happening in the game world. The ingame texts would become less repetitive and could factor in more information from the game world as well as individual responses from press conferences etc.
Dynamic Press Conferences, Interviews etc.: Chat AI could dynamically generate questions, factoring in more information from the game world than ever before. To keep this user-friendly, it also generates standard answers (maybe even on the fly) for the user to chose from. Of course it is also able to handle individual answers that the user types in. Ideally, the AI will eventually be able to extract all the information from FM, just like the human player – and thus can refer to past events, draw connections between events or catch the user in a lie ("It is not true that your teams always play fair. The season before last you had the most red cards in the competition. So, did you instruct Semedo to tackle Bodés harder or not?").
Realistic Conversations: The integration of a Chat AI would allow for realistic conversations between the user and the NPCs in the game. The AI can respond in a way that is appropriate for each NPC based on their attributes and personality, creating a more immersive gaming experience:
Imagine your player complains that he didn't play in the first five games of the season. You can then simply say to him: "Son, you've been to a World Cup and you need some more rest. The season is long and you will be important for us. After the last European Championship, you were hardly on the pitch in the first five games either - and at the end of the season you had the second most appearances for us."
Imagine sitting in a meeting with your Catenaccio-loving assistent manager and your Tiki-Taka HoYD discussing the individual training for your wonderkid or how to structure your build-up play againt the upcoming Gegenpress opponent etc.
Imagine convincing the next Haaland to join you at Dortmund because you already developed Sancho, Bellingham, Haaland and the likes. etc.
Conclusion: Integrating Chat AI into Football Manager will greatly enhance the player experience by providing more dynamic and realistic conversations, automated news and interview generation, and improved press conferences. The integration of Chat AI with game data will also ensure that the AI responds accurately and appropriately to events happening in the game world.
I am curious about your thoughts and your examples of use for it. :-)
Cheers
