Ohdear Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 What issues does language actually pose in FM? I am fairly certain it must affect settling in, however does it affect performance of players and coaches? For example, if there is a player who speaks not a word of English will he struggle to communicate with and therefore play well with his English speaking teammates? Similarly, if I sign a coach who doesn't speak English will that make his training sessions less effective? If I move to manage abroad, will my team talks be less effective if I do not speak the same language as my players? Are there any other issues language causes?

Kain Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 I can only really comment on what I've seen personally, but team talks seem to get less of a response if you don't speak the same language. This is also the same for players who don't speak the language when they've just signed for your club. I can get positive reactions from new players if I've signed them from a club in the same country that I'm already in, but it can take a few months before it happens with foreigners.

DarthCraigus Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 I've been thinking about this recently too. When you sign a player who doesn't speak the language but there's another player at the club who speaks both his and the native language - Do you have to do anything to get them to interact or does it just happen automatically? I haven't yet seen an option to get the two players to link up, aside from tutoring - but that is not always viable given you could have a goalkeeper who speaks both languages and your new signing may be a striker.

It's found under ambassadorial duties in the both language player's talk but players have to be from the same country (for example, A Dutch player can be told to talk to a fellow dutch player who has been just signed but a Spanish player can't be told to help an Argentinian player) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrumpy Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Same language players should be able to support each other regardless of nationalities. Something for FM15? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
