PeTrOzDaGr8 Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 I've just started a new game with Manchester United and decided to play the traditional 4-4-2 but with my own tactics which require one extremely attacking CM and one extremely defensive CM. I have the depth at AM but not on the defensive side of it ,so i decided to sign a back-up player on a short-term contract, Julien De Guzman who will do nicely as he can tackle but also isnt too bad attacking. Now Mike Phelan told me it wasnt worthwhile but i know it is as i feel carrick, hargreaves and fletcher can't cover the role well enough Could the ass.man have a bit more of a brain in it??

pires29 Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Logic is sadly missing from the media/interaction aspect of the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamianJMcGrath Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Logic is sadly missing from the media/interaction aspect of the game. I hate it when a young 16/17 year old who is already looking good stats-wise is approaching the end of his contract, and I go to give him a new one, and i get told by my assistant that "it's not worthwhile". It is, you fool! He's brilliant for his age, he's my only DL in my U18's, so he's needed from their point of view to win the U18 League, and his stats are approaching my first-choice DL, so I'm definitely giving him a new deal. Stupid AssMan! Also, if I sign a 18 year old MC, I get told it's not worthwhile. Presumably the AssMan is thinking I'm comparing him to Carrick, Hargreaves, Scholes, Anderson etc, but he's 18! Can't the AssMan look the future a bit! I wish the AssMen were more like Queiroz and actually got happy about me signing players like Nani, Anderson, Tosic etc. In FM, he'd be saying "no point".

If his stats match your levels of expectations sign him and ignore the ass man Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nni Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Is it possible that the youngsters you're looking at are close to their PA? Because that is how the AI determines whether a player is worth it or not (by looking at his CA/PA). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike J Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 I don't have the same problem with youngsters. A good coach or scout will be able to determine the player's potential and advise accordingly. It may be the 18-year old with good stats won't improve much in the coming years, which is why he's not rated so highly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lucatonix Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 I've found that with young players the ass man also takes into account the mental stats and traits like proffestionalism and ambition into account but seem to forget that these can improve with tutoring Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fmobande Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 the thing i hate about my ass man is when you making a transfer he goes and says "warning this player might leak your squad" or something like that like hes going to be bad or something and i said yo ass shut the cake up go clean my car i buy the guy and guess what his performance has been super in the board confidence Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elrithral Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 "warning this player might leak your squad" What is this? :confused: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
daidaithesequel Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 I stick to the scout reports when it tells me that "This player has no real weaknesses". My Assistant Manager might say he isnt worthwhile, but in my opinion, if they have no weaknesses, you cannot go wrong Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
