Silver Foxx Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 How about : "Ignore the bugged match engine, and when you go 1 on 1 with the keeper try not to float the football into the opponents goalkeepers hands" Works a treat!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard76 Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 I'd like to be able to tell my fullbacks that insist on being much further up field than my cb's when the AI go 4 2 4 despite having forward runs set to rarely. If I see you even thinking about going past the half way line I will transfer list you at full time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bRAzIL Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 none, I hate team talks! I see how they are relevant but I don't like that or the media feature which I think is crappy anyway.

There just isn't enough options, and two or three matches into a season and you reach that "Didn't Seem to be listening" tedium. Team talks seem completely pointless, and it's just a game of avoiding the auto-lose button. (As pointed out many times by Serpico) Would you actually be stupid enough to say "You've got one hand on the cup" whilst leading a final at half-time? You just know you're almost guaranteed to turn the players into jellied eels with 50p heads. It's a totally useless option to have. (In fact, thats probably what Carlo Ancelotti said to the boys at half-time in Istanbul) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juanito7 Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Totally agree with all. Some amazing suggestions in there, and summat i will definitely in favour of. SI definitely need to look at it and re-vamp the media engine, as it gets BORING after about the fifth match!! always the same scenarios and questions. On one occasion, i was sochaux and it was down to the last game, Lyon were 2 points ahead of me. One of the players said "determined to win the league" there was nothing else!!1 i mean, last couple of games of season, going down to the wire, itchy bum time n'all, and no hype in press or anything, this is what its all about, passion and glory, but nothing in media.... so definitely needs a look at. By the way, i won my last game 3-2 and Lyon lost 2-1, i won, yay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
13xForever Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 yea could be more variety in high importance matches like derby games. i think a few seasons ago newcastle were 1-0 down at sunderland and won 1-4 scoring 4 in the second half im sure half time team talk had somthing to do with it.

dzstone Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 This was one of my biggest disappointments in 08, that there was no serious update of team talks. FM is clearly heading in a more tactical direction (which I like), which makes the actions of the manager more important, and success less about buying the obvious star players. But with this in mind, surely the team talks would be an absolute priority? My main points would be: - More options and more realistic options needed, what we have now is far too generic and simply gets boring (and bordering on pointless) in no time at all - The ability to have a word to subs as they come on is an absolute necessity and it is ridiculous in the extreme that it has not happened yet - There is an almost total absence of ability to involve the captain in any real way in the game. There should be an ability to give specific messages to the captain, and even for the captain to give talks to the rest of the team (isn’t this what having a good captain is all about?) - There needs to be an overhaul of the effect of the team talks. I like the idea that diff players respond in diff ways depending on situation/personality, but this area of the game is still far too random and results are not clear enough. In summary, SI, if you are going to include team talks, make them worthwhile in both a tactical sense and a gameplay sense (neither applies at the moment). Give us substance, not fluff. This is not FIFA! Phew, that feels better! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reider84 Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 What makes me laugh is that one of the 'Offical FM Tips' from the loading screens is be careful not to keep repeating your team talks or they may have less of an effect. If I had more than 5 to choose from then they might not be so repetitive! When you finally become a good team my team talks pretty much consist of the following: Home Games - I expect a win Away Games - You can win today I'd like to see more tactical orientated ones as some have mentioned like, Try and keep hold of the ball Get rough with them Get balls in the box Run at them Play your natural game Shoot on sight Command your area more, push the defenders out Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Culled Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 For me the issue is not what the words are it is what effect they have on the players - for example is "why can't you play like this everytime" meant to be a compliment or a criticism. i tend to think comments are rated fro bad to good in the drop down box so this says it is a good comment but my team always thinks that I am criticsing them when i say this - what I am trying to say is youi did brilliantly so some idea of the effect of the wordw ould be useful - I know it depend son the player's attitude but a matrix would help to unpick the meaning.

exacerbating Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Pleased with the win, but expect a better performance next match When winning a game by the odd game against weaker opposition... The one my assman recommends for this scenario is "why don't you play like this every week?", which just baffles me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noob21 Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Once, I was in the lead of the premier division and needed only one win from four matches to win the title. I drew twice (Norwich and Wigan) and lost once (to Boro!!). The "Angry" team talk passed to deaf ears, and three times (before the matches) two of my players made a comment about "rallying the troops" and I was like "oh ****in' useless" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powermonger Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I wish in the match engine there was something more indicative of a players morale so it's easier to see if the half-time team talk or pre-match is having any effect. After looking at the CM08 I like how each player has a morale indicator that updates real time. I also wish the post-match report from your Assistant gives a summary of how your team talks were received by the squad. It's annoying to have to keep going to the squad page and then select Assistant Advice > Team Talk Feedback. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your assistant manager will tell you after a game, if you look at his feedback, of how players reacted to your team talk. Now lets say one player is, 'Angered, seemed demotivated' Wouldn't that be more use to you at the time instead of after the final whistle? Imagine Alex Ferguson giving the hairdryer treatment to his players and then both strikers go on to struggle they lose the game. After the game Ferguson is chatting to Queiroz and he says yeh they were both angry at your team talk thats why they were rubbish. Feruson would be like, well why the hell didn't you tell me that at the time!!!! I could have said something else to them afterwards. E.g. Queiroz tells Fergie that Rooney is angered by his teamtalk of expecting more from him, he could call him across early in the second half when the ball goes out of play and give a quick comment of I only expect more from you Wayne because I know you have it in you, now go play your natural game. Also its all well and good the assistant spotting a few things but surely if we are giving the team talks then we would have a good indication of how they reacted. I guess it could be solved in a way by giving your team talk, clicking confirm and getting immediate responses similiar to the ones in the Assistant Feedback section of how the players reacted.

exacerbating Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Losing by 2+ goals at half time and playing poorly against similar/slightly better opposition: Forget about the first hald lads, Let's win this half and restore some pride. There is the "expect to perform better" one, but putting pressure on people to do something is different than positively encouraging them. In this situation the "encourage" option isn't available either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
something less annoying Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 I'd like the option to just turn the whole module off. It makes little sense to me and I'd rather that my tactical decisions have more influence than choosing one of five options from a drop-down menu.

gaijin Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Something like this perhaps? http://www.sumo.tv/watch.php?video=3185825 If I'm really ****ed off, I'll actually not even bother with a team-talk at half-time / full-time.
