Kazza Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 (edited) Question on mentoring. Having read your explanation I have put three groups together re def/mid/att. However, what I do not fully understand is which of the players in those groups will lead the mentoring. Is it the player who has the best hierarchical position within that group or the oldest or is it as you refer to they all mentor each other? Probably in your explanation but advice would be appreciated. Cheers ps the training is coming together after reading your guide. making more sense as I progress through the season. A thank you to you and Seb - ll helps to enrich the game. Edited November 6, 2018 by Kazza Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rashidi Posted November 6, 2018 Author Share Posted November 6, 2018 You are looking to see who has the most influence on the group. Now group size also can play a part.

I tried last time, created three groups and when I asked him to assign he got rid of two of the groups? Is that normal or a potential bug or is it he only sees the need to have one mentoring group?

Razor940 Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 I'm gonna be honest, this new training system is scarying the **** out of me. I'm a guy that takes proud about making everything by myself, but I just cant at this moment. I will try to do things at my own pace, but it's a little abstract how to do things. Before was just physical trainings, tactial cohesion and all year long tactics or ball control, now we have blocks and blocks. Gotta learn. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashlfcowen Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 This is gold. Thank you so much to all of you involved in creating this. I enjoy FM, but I'm not particularly good at it. The training element this year overwhelmed me, but seeing as I love the development side of things, I knew I needed to get involved with it. I have a couple of questions... In the weeks where there are two, maybe three games - is it safe to say that player development will take a back seat as a result of needing to rest players sufficiently? The next 3 weeks of my calendar will explain perfectly what I mean. One game a week allows me to focus on a fair bit through the week. General, Unit & Specific ... whereas two games a week that goes out of the window and it seems focus is on the match days and rest/recovery. Is this right? Can I afford to experiment some more with the days before & after a match? How is it possible to tell if you're just not "getting this right"? What I've got on there makes sense to me, and so I'm happy to continue with it - with some chopping and changing here and there. That's all I have for now Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timbo1983 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Hi all, Question in regards to mentoring. In previous versions when asking one player to tutor another, you had two options to choose from - one meant the tutee would potentially inherit some of the tutors PPM's, and the other meant they would not. With the mentoring units now, is it possible to discern this? For example if I have a model citizen personality in my squad, but he plays as deep lying playmaker so has the PPM "comes deep to get ball", and I add a young player into that mentoring group who I am planning on playing as say a Mezalla on attack duty and that PPM does not suit the way I want him to play, how am I able to ensure the personality rubs off on the younger player, but not the PPM?

You can't ensure anything in mentoring, you can increase the odds by choosing the right combination of players based on club hierarchy, position played etc. At the end of the day, you want to make sure that as many of those conditions are met. Even then it is not guaranteed, which is a great improvement from previous editions of FM which makes mentoring less exploitative. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm halfway through my second season and am enjoying the mentoring. I am actually having great success with player personalities, more than I did using tutoring in previous versions. My concern is I bought a young central midfielder who had no PPM's, and somehow he has developed 3, one of which is "comes deep to get ball" which none of the players in his mentoring group have. So if I am reading your response correctly, the mentoring is totally random and there is no way to tell what the results will be. So by increasing someone's personality, I run the risk of them picking up PPM's that are adverse to how I want them to play? If that is true would I not be better off doing no mentoring and trusting my squads general character to affect personality, and just have young players learn the PPM's I want them to have?

Can player improve personality without mentoring? Just by having a more professional and/or ambitious squad? Btw, I assume that professionalism and ambition are still the two most important hidden attributes for player developing. Determination is more important in terms of how they react to adversity in matches and match performances. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I hadn't read your reply before my post. I'm always looking to put players who play similar positions in the same group because chances are that the leader of the group would have PPMs I want passed on. But that is not always the case. For example, at Barca I want Messi to mentor Dembele and Malcom. But I don't want his PPMs to transfer to either of these players - specifically, dictates tempo, comes deep, switch ball to other flank and tries killer balls often. Another example, I don't want Countinho's PPM shoots often to transfer to Arthur or Alena. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

woolymuffler Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Apologies if this has been clearly laid out elsewhere but I'm still fuzzy on the individual training (specifically position/role/duty). I rarely have a clear "this is how I want to play" vision. I tend to look at the club, see what my players are capable of and design a tactic around that. What I'm unclear on with individual training: 1) I tend to vary my roles/duties based on who is available for a match; a versatile player could end up all over the pitch over the course of the season, or in the same position with different roles/duties. If a player is just left on "Playing Position", do the attributes they train change based on which role/duty they are using in matches? Or does "Playing Position" just do generic training for their "Natural" position(s)? Or generic training for the position they last played (without regard to role or duty they played)? 2) If I specify Position/Role/Duty training for a player, is that the position/role/duty they will "expect" to play (as in, it will reduce their performance level if I train them for a specific role/duty and don't actually play them there in match)? My understanding was that the role training before was basically just a way to focus training on specific attributes so I tended to train players in roles that built up their weaknesses even if I had no intention of playing them in that role. It would be more realistic of course if the role they trained in was what i was planning to do with them but just wondering how that worked now. Given that position retraining is now combined with role/duty, I get the feeling that I should only pick specific position/role/duty for a player if that is where I intend to play them but would love confirmation on that.

plcarlos Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 (edited) I like a lot of the mentoring, It's something I spent a lot of time tweaking - As has been said - the assistant manager does a good job of this. I had lot of dead wood to clear out, and a LOT of players i brought in (I was ridiculously lucky with Newgen recruitment, so 20+ players in). It's improved a lot of them in general, and a my youth\U23 teams are significantly stronger for it. the one thing I'm wondering - It's lead to a few too many runs with ball PPM's being transferred. This was in my MC group i had created. Now, most i'd like to not do that, to hold position. So is it possible to A) unlearn this trait (I know i can ask, and will when i'm at home tonight), but just as importantly - B) NOT have the player learn this the players in question are still developing, so it's actually beneficial to be in that group for the time being Edited November 9, 2018 by plcarlos missed a bit...

If you expect this game to be a if X +Y = 10 kinda game then you are sorely mistaken. It's meant to reflect the uncertainty that can come with different conditions. There are things we can do to mitigate that uncertainty which have all been documented in that guide, but if you expect more definitive answers, you won't find anyone of us giving them out. Your game conditions and how you play the game are never going to be the same as mine, which is why no one can say for certainty X+Y=10. Over the years that we have played the game, most of us havent' bothered with how happy or unhappy players are. We don't pay attention to every single complaint. We learn how to pay attention to what matters. Maybe I want my whole squad to have better natural fitness over the course of a season so I give them training designed to incorporate those elements. Do I care what they think? No. I have players who are unhappy, ever heard of a life where 100% of people are happy 100% of the time? If you do please tell me about that world, cos it sounds like nirvana. The best we can do is manage the consequences and drive it to a state we want. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the best way to address this, in the long term, is to have a squad with similar or near-uniform personalities — ideally with high professionalism. I have that now after a couple of seasons, and they only ever complain about not getting enough quickness training. And that's easily fixed by throwing in a Quickness routine or two every couple of weeks (if it's not already there because of, e.g., Gegenpress training).

Either my players are very professional or my training schedules are very balanced. Maybe both. I try to balance my schedules and filled them up with all kinds of activities mainly to not overload my coaches, so I can keep a low (or average at worse) workload for all categories. The moment one category becomes high workload I know my schedule is not balanced and I have too much of something. I try to not obsess with too much of the same thing even if I think my tactic or players need it.

A player can improve their personality without gaining PPMs, yes. This is done via Dynamics. As @Cleon mentioned, disentangling PPMs and personality from Mentoring isn't strictly possible. In reality if you ask a player to work within a specific group in training, you can't tell him to learn from their mentality but ignore anything they do with a football. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having to manually add a match review after every game is already too much micro management. Is it a bug? Match Review is one of those marginal gains that managing training yourself can bring. The AM is great, but he can't do it all for you Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhaffy Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Just wondered if there was any merit in assigning two players with Significant influence to mentor 2 younger players to increase chances of "success" or whether it is likely to be counter productive?

I enjoy FM, but I'm not particularly good at it. The training element this year overwhelmed me, but seeing as I love the development side of things, I knew I needed to get involved with it. I have a couple of questions... In the weeks where there are two, maybe three games - is it safe to say that player development will take a back seat as a result of needing to rest players sufficiently? The next 3 weeks of my calendar will explain perfectly what I mean. One game a week allows me to focus on a fair bit through the week. General, Unit & Specific ... whereas two games a week that goes out of the window and it seems focus is on the match days and rest/recovery. Is this right? Can I afford to experiment some more with the days before & after a match? How is it possible to tell if you're just not "getting this right"? What I've got on there makes sense to me, and so I'm happy to continue with it - with some chopping and changing here and there. That's all I have for now Thanks I hope this wasn't a silly question.

If you're referring to that, there is no "right" or "wrong". OK, technically I'm sure someone far smarter than me might figure out how to min/max the whole thing to come up with some hugely complex "best" method of training. Meanwhile back on planet Earth rest assured that "not getting it right" is ok - it's ok to relax, use a little common sense and experiment, safe in the knowledge that we really can't screw things up that badly. Unless we put all of our heavily jaded and poor condition players on super intensive physical training for 3 months without realising it. Which I totally haven't done.

yonko Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 10 hours ago, Seb Wassell said: Determination is just as important as Ambition and Professionalism. A player can improve their personality without gaining PPMs, yes. This is done via Dynamics. As @Cleon mentioned, disentangling PPMs and personality from Mentoring isn't strictly possible. In reality if you ask a player to work within a specific group in training, you can't tell him to learn from their mentality but ignore anything they do with a football. Yes, I can and I do it often. I'm coach IRL, btw. You can tell players to learn from other players' approach and mental aspect without necessarily picking up their playing habits on the field. You can work separately on their playing habits during practice and teach them traits. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imho this is the type of information we should be given to use mentoring in a somewhat sensible way. It's a tool of this game and I feel we simply don't have enough specific instructions to use it. I try to use common sense but it's not like we have real life examples of how 'mentoring groups' work (they most likely do not exist on these terms). Information on this have been so vague and obscure. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
