Italian Touch Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Hi all, i found this on a different forum, " advising on HT talks: be angry all the time. It works, and your players don't get mad. At the end always praise the good rated and say nothing to the bad rated. Last night I had a cup game against a inferior team. At half time was winning 3-0. After being very irritated at HT talks, they made a fabolous 2nd half, end up winning 8-0..." Ive given it a try on my game and although it might be unrealistic, it seems to work very well, 9 out of 10 id say! (either league, cup or any sort of match). Pls give feedback - Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
twattyatkins Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 I only use the angry option at home if I am drawing or losing in a winnable game. Away I am usually a bit softer, more encouraging, occasionally 'disapointed' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike7077 Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 I don't find being angry works all the time. But it does work some of the time. Weirdly, you don't get the "angry" option when you're losing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Almondo Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 I don't tend to use it. I noticed that Mike it changes to "We must get a win here" or words to that effect when you're losing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimmoMC Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 I tried it and it always annoyed one player who got unhappy about it so I stopped. Didnt seem to particuarly work either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weirdly, you don't get the "angry" option when you're losing. The question i wiold ask is why or how the game decides on which options it gives to you at half time?

BamaToon Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 The question i wiold ask is why or how the game decides on which options it gives to you at half time? That's what I want to know. I HATE it when I'm winning 2-0 at the half and the only thing I can tell the team is that I'm "pleased". I just KNOW the other team will mount a comeback and they usually do. I would rather just "encourage" and not risk my team being too complacent in the second half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players dont seem to like dont get complacent, but telling the team you are pleased seems to guarentee an onslaught from the opposing team in the second half.

GB68 Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 often have this issue myself.Players dont seem to like dont get complacent, but telling the team you are pleased seems to guarentee an onslaught from the opposing team in the second half. Some players don't seem to like "Don't get complacent" , your right there. But I've always found it works very well. As long as you recognise the good performance at the end of the game (assuming there is one, of course) it is always forgotten, it seems. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack_man Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Say nothing before the game and nothing at half time if your winning seems to do the job for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pls give feedback - Cheers I usually give my player's the hairdryer treatment when their motivation after the first half is shabbily poor in matches they are expected to dominate. Most of the time it works and some players are roused up into performing in the second half. A recent example I have is this screenshot below: The match was tied at 0-0 going into half time, but ended 2-0 to my team after the second half. The ST provided two assists for the goals scored by the fired-up MC and DR. I do not lay into my team if they are under-performing against opponents who are heavy favourites to win or draw the match however. Doing so would only add to the pressure my team is facing and more than likely lead to them making mistakes and conceding goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobMUFC08 Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 I also saw this somewhere else and i tried it for a while along with say nothing at kick off and it worked really well, however i stopped when i got a news item say some of my players were puzzled by my half time rant Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
moj Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 If I am drawing or losing at home, then I always select Angry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
twattyatkins Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 I have to say I rarely use 'pleased' or 'thrilled' at half time I find it encourages complacency. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
phnompenhandy Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Interesting exploit. I might try it - with experienced players with good professionalism. However, I'd say it's very risky getting angry with a young player - you could crush him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Cooppaa Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 im just trying out this now 2-0 at half time, 4-0 at full time. Ill try this again to see if it works. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
