We all do right? It’s just not impactful enough (rightly so for the most part) and if it’s not fun, why include it?
In terms of an idea, how about; press conferences are assumed to run in the background at a set ‘level’ which means week to week it happens but you don’t need to do anything, the configuration will say there are ‘standard’ press conferences happening in the background and sometimes there will be news items on what is said to add some flavour but you won’t have to do anything.
Then at set points in the season you have the option to throw in some controversial press conferences to impact morale. These will all be completely context based (going for the league, relegation etc) and will only happen once or twice. Also instead of selecting answers you just select a general tone of the conference so it’s easily set without going through each question
That I could cope with and the contextual press conferences may have a slight bearing on your team’s morale (or maybe the morale of competitors). Get rid of them for each match and get rid of answering each tedious question.
