sixsecondsleft Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 It seems that most shouts never get a good response. "Demand More", "Get Creative", and "Show Some Passion" pretty much always work, and other than a very rare "Encourage" or "Praise", the rest have NEVER gotten me a good response. If someone has received good responses from them, I'm curious how/when. The circumstances for each seem pretty clear, but I'd still like to know what others experience. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
armyissue69 Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Some work at different times. Hopefully someone will come along to post a link which references good times to use certain ones. There's one for when they score. The biggest thing to say is, their age, their personality, and your reputation all have an impact. I hope this helps until a more constructive response comes along. If you google things like Football Manager Shouts Frustration or Shouts Explained, you'll get to some good examples and could probably print those discussions out or write down/copy paste em. Good Luck! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrazT Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 I paused a recent match to review the body language of my team and noted that there were 7 ( seven) different responses showing for the 11 players- I am seriously wondering how any manager can interpret and react to that. I also cannot understand how any professional football player who is playing at a reasonable standard can be "overwhelmed by the feedback" Of course body language can be quite important but at the moment it is to complex to make you want to spend time understanding it.

Deisler26 Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 What annoys me is that I use shouts like I would react IRL. So when you're maybe 3-0 up and the other team score from a mistake, I would yell 'CONCENTRATE' and the team end up crying. Why? Same as going 1-0 up. Encourage should be an acceptable shout ("Come on boys, keep going!") but they are frustrated... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like the "don't get complacent" team talk though. It would work if players are in danger of losing motivation or concentration due to complacency, but after they concede, they'll snap out of it so there's no need to shout Concentrate after the fact. 5 minutes ago, Deisler26 said: Same as going 1-0 up. Encourage should be an acceptable shout ("Come on boys, keep going!") but they are frustrated... This is also the wrong context. You should be encouraging (which is for a lack of confidence) your team when you're (for example) at 0-0 or even 0-1 down against a better team. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Declan Cahill Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Can't say for fm20, but in previous versions they always worked if said in the right tone and at right time. I nearly had some if them in like clock work example. Calm Concentrate 1-15mins 45-55mins settled early nerves/complacency. Assertive concentrate after you score Passionate/aggressive concentrate to a player making mistakes playing poor. Passionate/aggressive demand more when losing 75mins+ Assertive tighten up 1-0 up Passionate/aggressive tighten up when just conceded but still 1 goal up (2-1 usually) There the main ones I use that I can think of. I've used calm down but that seems to work too much and players switch off became uninterested. Besides I've no problem with sending off, I likem to get stuck in Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Ace Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Praise works well when you come back from behind, I'll use it when we got 3-0 up too, the players like that one Encourage, I've used a few times & got zero response, I've no idea how that one works, when you're 3-0 down maybe? Get Creative fires up support duty players Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
herne79 Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 All shouts can work, it's about using them in the right context. "Push forward" for example can be great when a goal or two down, you nick an equaliser/pull a goal back towards the end of the match, as this can fire up the players to take advantage of the opposition who might be feeling the pressure. There is also quite a lot of misinformation / misunderstanding about them - "Concentrate" for example is useful for when players look complacent, not if you're 3-0 up and let a goal in. https://community.sigames.com/topic/399243-touchline-team-talks/ https://community.sigames.com/topic/487345-no-tactic-and-lots-of-experimental-shouting/ 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

After that, it is up to the manager to employ them productively in the match. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruskin Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 I got laughing about this because I had a high school coach who would yell at us to "concentrate!" or "focus!" whenever he thought we were drifting a bit on the field - regardless of the score. So, I instinctively did this in FM to less than desirable results. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over time, you can work out yourself how all the different parts work, which is the way it should be. Might be overwhelming (ha, see what I did there) for newcomers, but FM has always been a steep learning curve. As all simulation based games should be. We were all newcomers at one time or another.

Had this discussion with @FrazT and we tend to agree with this. I have no problem using touchline shouts, but others can and do. Unlike team talks, which has a feedback screen that you can look at after a match, touchline shouts a) don't accurately describe what it is you're shouting and b) give feedback as to why they're "overwhelmed" (a poor term to describe what's happening) so I can see why there are complaints. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
extremeskins04 Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 I've never gotten encourage, concentrate or push forward to work or get a positive response. It didn't matter if my boys were angry, frustrated, nervous, complacent. It didn't matter if we were down a goal or 5 goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyburn Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Same for press conferences. Some responses just work, others I don’t go anywhere near. Is a pity as some variety, depending on the situation would be ideal. But I’m not going to risk disrupting the apple cart again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KillYourIdols Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 (edited) I've stopped using a fair few shouts en massé, I now direct them at certain players. For example, rather than praise the team after a goal, I'll direct it only at the goal scorer/assist. Show some passion, get creative and push forward are the only ones I use these days. The others seem counter intuitive to me at the moment, need to delve in a bit deeper. Edited November 26, 2019 by KillYourIdols Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tryllefot Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 (edited) I've found 3 shouts I can use to a positive effect...3. My team is trailing by a goal away with 1 man sent off, I use the shout "encourage", and half the team is frustrated by that shout !? I thought encouragement was good when you're having a hard time? Who makes up these reactions, and is there a decent guide or are they not worth it? Edited November 27, 2019 by Tryllefot Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

noikeee Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Even team talks seems to generate unexpected results this year. I used to be pretty decent at that, but the players' feedback is all over the place this FM. Maybe it's the fact I started with a low reputation, idk, but it was the recommended reputation for my lower league team. I've had players get complacent/uninterested in matches against much bigger sides or matches that could decide the season, etc. Seems so much less predictable and much harder.
