Pre Match Team talks - do you read the room?

[Jack722]

On the pre match team talk screen, you get this image, and you can see the player's moods. Sometimes, theyre nervous, motivated, complacent, or just composed.

Let's say youre coming up against a team that you should easily win against, but everyone is already motivated before the team talk, would you still demand a win? Or would you go for a more neutral team talk , like encouragement or relaxing?

[White Flag]

Yes, no, no, no.

To stop complacency, I would always demand a win against a team we are expected to beat convincingly.

If my team is on a bad run, I'm supportive and try to get the players to relax. If we are on a winning streak I always demand as much as possible to avoid complacency. Otherwise I act based on what I expect the result will be (demanding if favourite, supportive if equal, relaxed if underdog).
