(Suggestion) Here is how to fix press conferences!

(sorry my english)

Press conferences has a lack of value and meaning - thats why (almost) no one use it !!

What I like to see in future releases is, how your answers in press conferences have a huge impact on your players, the fans, the board and such. After every press conference your assistent manager should give you some feedback on how your sorroundings react to your interviews - in that way the press conferences will have a BIG value and have a meaning. After a press conference your assistent manager should give you a feedback of these 4 factors for every press conference you give - like this:

Players: 3 of your players got fired up after your latest press conference (Effect: morale boost)

Board: The board members didn't seems to react to your latest press conference (Effect: None)

Fans: Some of the fans seems to be happy for the answers you gave (Effect: fans relation to you have been slightly improved)

Media: The Medias reaction is harsh towards you, which you can see in the headlines (Effect: medias relation to you have been slightly disimproved)

I know that you are already able too see some of the press conference reactions in FM - but it could be lot better with some improvements - and if your assistent manager could get you an overview of all the reactions in one place (like a mail in your inbox), then it will be a big motivation to use Press conferences and interviews - the reason is, it will have a bigger value and meaning now to use it.

Totally agree. In addition to this, some kind of interconnection between players, board, fans and media would be also interesting - not for every single event, but for the purpose of an overview in the long run.

                     Players         Board       Fans       Media

Players                                                 

Board                                                                     x

Fans                                                                        y

Media                                   z

"The Medias reaction is harsh towards you, which you can see in the headlines"
x= Board members have the opinion the Media massively exaggerate. You should stay true to your line.
y= Most of the Fans do not like the way Media is mistreating you. In their point of view you could answer their questions more flippantly.
z= Media cannot understand why the Board members are staying calm. Their negative criticism will expand. Maybe the Board's opinion is changing when the Media also fires against them.
