I've gone through full 90 minute games without any feedback which is really frustrating. Nah, it's just he/she/it (gotta cover all angles these days for the SJW's) doesn't like you.

Guest Cannabis Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Another question, does age and languages spoken have an effect in the game? I'm struggling like no tomorrow with Hoffenheim but it's the first time that I've put in my real age (23) and I only speak English. Despite no real negatives in my tenure the players just don't care about me at all, they don't even acknowledge me in teamtalks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite no real negatives in my tenure the players just don't care about me at all, they don't even acknowledge me in teamtalks. stick with it. over time they form a bond with you. I think age will have a factor because you don't have the years of experience of playing and therefore lack authority. Win a few games on the run and they'll start to respect you. Other things I've noticed that help gain respect are praising where necessary and disciplining where necessary (if a player gets a straight red and it's justified, a week's ban suffices). Ask one of the team leaders or influential players to recommend a signing; if you go on to sign them that works wonders with that player and a few of his social group. I don't know about languages either to be honest. Maybe get a German assistant manager if you don't have one (presumably majority of your squad are German/German-speaking. But I had the same about acknowledgement in team-talks - at first they were wholly unresponsive, then a few started paying attention and getting less distracted. I'm in November now and they're starting to pay attention as a group and reacting to assertive or calm team-talks, as well as post-match assertive/aggressive (if necessary) team-talks.

Guest Cannabis Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 I'll perservere, thanks @Stan. I just didn't know if it was normal for me to be ignored this blatantly .

I really don't like the new pitch interface where the information screen overlaps the pitch. Sometimes the pitch is ridiculously bright as well and it clashes with teams who play in light-coloured kits. Preferred the older layout where you had the overview screen and then it would switch to split pitch view for highlights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiley Culture 1,651 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Football Manager will include gay players in FM18. It's a game and regen's sexuality has no bearing on the game. What an utterly pointless inclusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree in general that this appears to be just another shoe horned job to appease the LGBT and SJW lot. However, I'd be curious to see if a player coming out as gay would have any affect on the team dynamic that they're using this year (ie. would the manager have to respond to this, would the player lose or gain morale based on the response, would it affect the team in any way etc.).

I think given they want to normalise it all, I doubt there'd be much change in the dynamic. Not by players anyway especially when they talk about being sued hence they only do it for regens.

Guest Cannabis Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Had my BWM get a few yellows but not a red yet although I have only played two competitive games. I'm sure the season opener against Wolfsburg will be a bloodbath and see me finish with nine men though so I'll keep you all posted . Where are you managing now @Stanley?

I'd forgotten until this new save how many crosses either get tipped over or even more incredibly bounce off the top of the bar and back into play.

I like that it gives you that option to cancel subs and re-think them or change game-plan if required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
