Andros Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 I think it is just a reminder, it is not saying anything is wrong, just that a promise was made. Maybe think of it as 'hey alexa' reminder after 10 games. However I am not totally sure on that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prokopije Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Yes, it's jut reminder in case you forgot. Go into "promises" section and there you'll see if player is happy with progress of promise or not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick_CB Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Reminder or not, this is one of FM's most useless promises 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigtukker Posted February 13, 2022 Author Share Posted February 13, 2022 The player is now missing from training, so I think I'm doing something wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImDaWeasel Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 You played him in the AML as a inside forward in his last game. Write the player off and sell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrPompey Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 This is an existing issue and a problem for a number of releases. Pending SI resolving it where possible dont let these get built into contracts - this is the pre contract conversation where you confirm squad role etc before final contract negotiations. This then allows flexibility of position and then avoids player discussions and promises. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icy Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 You played him one game out of 11 as AML , how dare you?? Jokes aside, yes roles promises needs to be tuned down or even better, removed form the contract negotiations. Positions related promises would be fine, but not roles and it should just be a moral factor, not a binary loving/hating you behaviour. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mars_Blackmon Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Lol don’t make promises you can’t keep. Imagine making Ronaldinho play a specific way at AML that he doesn’t likes or play to his strengths. I think roles preferences and promises are legit as I’ve read plenty of articles about players not wanting to play for a team because of their play style.

Remove and exclude from negotiation is your friend here. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimland Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Considering a lot of players think their best roles are in positions they aren't even natural in I'm not sure the game is actually working all that well when it comes to best preferred positions, kinda suck they make such a big part in negotiations. I don't really want to promise you that I will play you in a non natural position could you please just trust me I'm doing you a favour by refusing your demands. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExeChris Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 My second best CD asked for a new deal, I agreed as it only had two years left and he's been good for two seasons. I've never played with Wide CBs but he's demanding that as a locked in demand to sign the deal. I'd promised to give him a new deal so have to include that, fully knowing that in 6 months he'll kick off about not playing there. Stupid. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
2feet Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 When Milner came to Liverpool he wanted to change position from the wing to central midfield. Brendan Rogers promised him that CM position. But he has also will filled in where required to with minimum fuss. He currently plays CM but can also fill in at RB when required. He even played an entire season at Left Back in 2016, not too long after he arrived at Liverpool, because Klopp felt their LB (Moreno) was not good enough. In another season he played Central Midfield but also backup to Trent in the RB position. The game doesnt seem able to cope with the fact players who are promised specific positions can also be persuaded to help out in other areas due to their professionalism. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When backed into a corner like this I suppose a new deal will increase his value when you are forced to sell when he kicks off Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrycarrie Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Requesting a position makes absolute sense. Requesting a role is ****ing ridiculous. I doubt Haaland is gonna sign for his next club and demand to only ever be a 'Pressing Forward' or Bellingham asking to be only a 'Mezzala'. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is Implying that every player request this which isn’t true. More things than not it’s players that have a best role that outweighs any other role they have skills at.

Not sure, why do we even have positions if it is all about the attributes. I would think that a player that has a natural ability for a position should probably be better at that than one he is not natural in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember players played regularly in specific positions will often develop attributes that are more suitable to the role played in. Specific positions and roles favour players with specifc attributes or ability to develop attributes in new positions and roles. This could mean development of an average utility multi positional / role type player versus a specialised player...subject to age, CA and PA Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
