paulmotion Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Before a match I like to ask my assistant to do the opponent instructions bit. However the past couple of matches the Ask Assistant option it not available?? Am i doing something wrong? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay-Producer Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Is he part-time? because I only got this when I have a part-time ass.manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulmotion Posted December 30, 2010 Author Share Posted December 30, 2010 Is he part-time? because I only got this when I have a part-time ass.manager. Thanks for the reply, but no he is full time. In fact, it does not give me the option under Opposition Instructions, however I can ask him to provide the team talk??? Now, I'm really confused......thats 4 games on the trot now....

Wait and see if anyone else experience this problem, if they do then report is as a bug and upload screen shots and the game file itself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
heathxxx Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 If he has Tactical Knowledge below 10, he'll likely be unable to provide advice regarding opposition instructions. You need someone with 10+ Tactical Knowledge and the higher, the more players he'll apply OI's to and the more accurate his suggestions will be.

When I was managing a non-league side my Ass.manager every other game gave opposition instructions even when his TK was below 10. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulmotion Posted December 30, 2010 Author Share Posted December 30, 2010 His tactical knowledge is 11, so thats out........hhmmm this is pretty frustrating.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCIAG Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 His tactical knowledge is 11, so thats out........hhmmm this is pretty frustrating.... I think heath was approximating, there isn't a magical value that suddenly makes him suggest things every match. I have managed with assistant managers with 20 TK, and they sometimes don't suggest things. Did your scout get to watch the team before hand? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafuge Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Is he foreign? If the assistant has no knowledge of the league he is in then he will struggle to be able to give advice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That may be it - he is Scottish, however I am in League 1 with Hartlepool......! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafuge Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 You just need to give him time then, as his knowledge of England grows his advice will get better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
highaimer Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Sometimes he just has nothing to suggest. I would say it is this mate. In my Arsenal save, in pre-season, pat rice would have nothing to say if the opposition wasn't really a threat but, like you, i did find this odd at first because you expect some kind of indication of why he has nothing to say. A simple "has no specific opposition instructions" or "feels we shouldn't have a problem with the opposition" would suffice to resolve this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
natyd Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 had this happen to me couple times before i think its due to ass man not knowing a lot about the league or opposition i was managing roma with english assitant and he never had nothing to say as soon as i got rid and brought in italion one it was all good Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulmotion Posted December 30, 2010 Author Share Posted December 30, 2010 Thanks for the advice guys - will stick with him for the season and see how it goes. If not, will get rid and employ an asst with more local knowledge Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
