tomnicklin Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 99% of the "personal chats" i have end in the same bizzare exchange, I am currently sitting at top of the table with stoke in the second season, doing amazing, 6 points clear, great team work and everything going well, and a player comes to me saying he wants to leave to play better calibre of football, (wants me to accept a big from newcastle who are currently 18th, I tell him to stick around and if we dont get qualify for champs league I will let him go and his reaction is "my team mates wont like to hear about this" the little bitch is can rot in the under 21s now, even if he is the BPL top scorer and blasting them, he can get stuffed... but my main point of this post is this happens nearly every single time during these 1 to 1s with players, the whole exchange his crap and just totally unrealistic and the responses are just bizzare...

markantony Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 The only thing I can say is save the game before you have the chat. I haven't yet managed to have one of these end well unless I give the player exactly what he wants. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paolo di Canio Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 I agree that these features need some tuning, but the way I usually fix these things is setting the player price to an unrealistically high number, and then promising him I'll let him go if the bid comes. of course no bid comes, and when the transfer window is closed he's happy again.

As always, if you believe this is a bug, report it in the bugs forum under "team talk/interactions" section, and upload a save game for SI to look at. There are definitely some tunings that need to be done with this module of the game, and the more examples SI have to look at, the easier it is to spot and correct.

Terrance Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 It's a big. To get around it, always choose the option saying the player won't get as much first team action if he moves away from your club. It's almost a guarantee for you to keep young players if you choose this option. I have not tried this for older players. I tried this once on an older player and it did not turn out well.

TubewayArmy79 Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 I also has dis problem funny ting is they think that they'll have much more chance of win titles and qualify for Europe with a team like palace, it then upsets other players if you upset the player who wants to leave then morale gets low really annoying.

brawla123 Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Another annoying thing is that AI manager's can unsettle players easier than we can. All they have to do is add a player to the shortlist and then the player wants to discuss terms. On the other hand, I've seen no effects from me adding a player to my shortlist. Has anyone else noticed this? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone else noticed this? I was interested in a player who was 1.1 million euro worth. First I just sent an inquiry, which got flat out rejected. Then I added the player to my shortlist, and declared interest. Player reacted well. Then I made a bid that was around 200k only, just to experiment.His club came back negotiating, asking for around 600k. We agreed on 475k at the end. So, it is perfectly possible. Edit: Forgot to say that the player got unhappy with his club somewhere in the middle of these discussions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dagenham_Dave Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Is this requirement, that users upload files in order for a problem to be resolved, common practice in the games business? See, the difference is that with Football Manager, everyone's game is different. There are millions of permutations a save can have across all users. Where a gamebreaking issue on Halo or COD will be obvious because everyone's gameworld is the same one, it's a totally different story with FM. If the developers cannot re-create an issue because in their save, the issue simply doesn't happen, then the best way forward is for the user to upload their save, so the devs can see first hand whether something is an issue and how to fix it. SI don't have to adopt this policy, but it works. Most game developers simply don't care enough about their user base post release, so it's actually quite refreshing.

Don't buy the game at the current state. This issue can be handled if you are a big club that can guarantee winning trophies, but in a smaller team you could be completely screwed out of 3-5 players per season because of the "feature".

I just can't imagine that in real life players drink their morning coffee, read a crap goal.com article linking them to some club and then driving to the training ground and demanding to be let go.

rywilson Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I've had an annoying one today, signed a spanish player who covers most midfield positions as a backup, with backup in his contract. So far this season we have played 9 league and 2 cup games. He has has 2 starts and 3 off the bench in the league, and 2 off the bench in cup. So 2(5) from a total of 11 games? Surely as a backup thats adequate? The games he has played Burnley - Sub - 74th min Tranmere - Sub - 79th min Sheff Wed - Start - 25th min sub (red card) Birmingham - Start - Full game Leiciester - Sub - 70th min Notts Forest - Sub - 63rd min Plymouth - Sub - 53rd min Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viking Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 How about this one: one of my key Tottenham players wanted to join a bigger club, I said I'd sell him if the bid matched my valuation of him because I know what happens in the game if you refuse. A decent bid was made, I accepted, a few days later the player comes back to me and say he wants me to pay 8K a week for the reminder of his two year contract if he is to join the club.

mimland Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Just had a player asking to be allowed to move to another club and I asked what he wanted to stay. He said a new contract with a payincrease so I say sure thing. Offers him a new contract where he wage couldn't be negotiated, the pay increase was more than reasonable and he accepts his contract. Less than week after he signs he becomes angry because I hadn't kept my promise and the rest of the squad followed suite and the board called me into a meeting for it. My job is endangered and the whole team is totally pissed off even though I kept the promise and the guy was happy to sign his new contract. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
