Managerial mind games - a suggestion

[passenger58]

Hi,

In the game currently, you'll occasionally receive a news item which allows you to comment on your own job stability or the form (good or bad) of one of your players.

This, then, is supposed to have either a positive or negative effect on either your own position or your player's mental state going into the next match. 

Can this be tweaked to also allow you to give feedback on the opposition, for example before a big derby game?

So you'd comment on an opposition player's good/bad form or a struggling manager, and this in turn would make them either raise or lower their game against you. 

It's the sort of thing Mourinho and Ferguson did all the time to their rivals. 

Presumably it's not reinventing the wheel as the logic is there - it just needs to be extended to those outside your club. There'll need to be a few new news item templates written up though.

Hope that all makes sense.

That isn't a bad idea at all - can't promise anything, but its a decent concept (it'd only be for 'big games/derbies' if its done - main thing with these is to ensure they don't get overly repetitive imho).

Yeah, agreed. It'd only really be worth doing for derby games, and those with your rivals at the top/bottom of the table. Glad you like it though. 👍🏼
