[Suggestion] National Teams

[Ashikodi]

Dynamics: Players do develop relationships between each others on national teams. We should be able to view those and it should have the same influence it has on a club. A good connection between players would help team performances.

 

Training: I do understand that each international camp (except final phases) would have only an handful of training sessions but I might want to focus on the defensive part of the game, or defending set pieces to counter a specific opponent. Whatever the reason is, I think I would help on that regard, let alone that it would make it much more fun (it's easier to engage on FM training on a national team, because there's not much of it, than in a club where everyone, sooner or later, delegate that to some assistant).

 

Analysis: This year version has some great analysis outputs with beautiful scatter plots giving us great perspectives on our performances, and Match Momentum analysis to see how the game really unfolded. Why on earth can't we have it on national teams? I understand that the sample is not as big and therefore, the numbers won't have a high statistical validation but it's still information and it's up to the manager knowledge to understand them and put them under perspective. Please, add the Performance Analyst to national teams.

 

Staff: Except for the managers, everyone's working for free on a National Team. That's very unrealistic and contracts should really be added to the game. There could be clauses about exclusivity (not allowing the coach / physio / analyst (?) to work in a club at the same time) and expiration dates as well. At the moment, you see youth coachs and managers making their entire career on national teams. It is a safer environment than a club, but not that safe!

 

These are my suggestions and I'm praying (once again) to see National Management not being ignored by the talented programers of SI in FM23 😂

Thank you for taking the time to input your feedback. This is an idea that has come up before and has been passed on to the design team. However, it may yet be rejected or with further development make it into a future iteration of FM.
