Manager Mode

[joshbotelho1994]

I think that manager mode should be improved!
i want to see more come out of this feature...

things that should be added- (not in any specific order)


AI

1.smarter AI managers (more challenge, really try to improve their team) (i hate how you dominate after having a 5 star team in a weaker league)


Sim Matches

1.better sim, show us what's going on during the game (fifa 05)

2. have a bench sim, where you can actually see the game in progress and be able to change the overall tactics like the, ultra defensive, defensive, normal, offensive, ultra offensive, and make the game speed fast and have short halfs, so it dosen't bore us to death.


Abilities / Restrictions (for the start)

1. ability to create a team in the begining, and start from scratch, create a logo, jersey, and choose a low rated stadium, and eventually move to better stadiums as you improve your stadium in staff upgrades. and get your first players from the scouting and choose created players, if you have any. and a low balance of course. and choose what league your team will play in.(more fun)

2. to have to start with a lower rated team and as your prestige goes up, better teams appear, and when your prestige starts getting higher you get offers from some slightly better teams, so you know that you are being recognized (more realistic)

3. The ability to choose how many seasons we will play for in the beggining, and then the option to change it towards the end (more fun)

4. Actually create a manager that you can see during the game (like in Euro 08, but you)

5. Have some type of salary, that will be exchanged for points for the fan shop. (if they get the fan shop again)


Team's Stuff (stadiums, jerseys, etc.)

1.3) Create a 3rd (or 4th) kit for the teams, we could choose a brand, such as adidas, nike, puma, diadra, etc., then we choose a style, colors, font styles,(like in fifa street) and then choose through a variety of sponsors and place them on the jerseys (like vynls in need for speed)


2.edit the stadium (renovations to attract more fans)

3. create a stadium if you want, once your stadium manager reaches 10, make it like a mix match of other stadiums for each feature, like each row, shape of arches, team colors, color of all seats and color any specific seats different, to write the team name or something. (for example for benfica, i would build estadio da luz, based on emirates stadium, and change the colors and stuff)

4. Edit kits!

5. Display Team Chemistry again (but only in MM, because of transfers)

6. I your team has a generic stadium, then get a better stadium once you upgrade your stadium manager (have a new stadium once you reach points like, 2,4,6,8, and 10.)

Sponsors

1. sponsors offer more / less money each year depending on your team's success so far (more realistic and challenging)

2. real sponsors, like t-mobile, aig, tmn, samsung, vodafone, etc. (more realistic)

3.a bigger variety of sponsors, different ones each season depending on team's success (I always get the same one in fifa 08 )


Practice / Training

1.training mode (try different line ups and players) and / or
split your team in half, and play for fun and improve some players abilities after a few games. (like a practice)

2.Youth/reserve teams (bring up skilled youth players)

3.option to play pre-season friendlies (extra practice)

4.tell each coach what you want more out of each position (reactions, dribbling, accurracy, speed, etc., instead of EXP. points)


Transfers / Players (Team Management)

1.the ability to set asking prices on players (the values are ridiculous)

2.view transfers made by other teams (see who has improving)

3. More/Better Scouting (more professional)

4.greater offers for your good players from other clubs (more challenge and money)

5. Individual player pages, showing their information and historical statistics such as a growth chart and goals/assists (gives us better info on a player)

6. the ability to retire/unretire numbers in edit kits numbers, so that new players don't choose it (Ex. no player can play with the # 29 because of feher's death)

7. Make it harder to renew contracts with players, i had Ustari playing for $15 (and then $10 i think) a game once (more realistic)

8. injuries happen a little more often, and more serious injuries last longer, and come up with better injuries i always get dislocated finger, what was he doing with his hand? (more realistic)

9. custom 1, 2, and 3 team sets (1, 2, and 3 team sets is where you can choose three different sets of line-ups and tactics)

10. Be able to loan players with the option to buy, if the team wants to sell them. (more realistic)

11) ability to assign a vice-captain.

12) trade players in transfers, and offer money along with him if nessecessary

13) stop with the im 17 and a 80 overall lalalala. (very unrealistic, an 80 overall should be atleast 21)

14) manually set max. and min. age in transfer searches. (for example i want so see players from 17- 25, and not 17-19 or show up everyone and take forevever)

15) It's dumb how you immediatly get an offer for a player that is for loan or sale, and have the tem buying more realistic, i have bad players go to milan, and then crazy good players go to teams i have never heard of.

16) make the values more realistic! a player that is 16-19 and is 75+, should be worth atleast around 10 mil. and other players need better values to, for example Di Maria isnt worth much in the game, but benfica has had an offer of 22 mil and rejected, and has said that Di Maria will only leave this season for 30 mil. So his value should be between 22-30 mil.

Tournaments / Cups

1. Ability to rename unliscenced cups in options (EX. EFA to Champions League, and FA to UEFA Cup)

2.proper Cup celebrations showing team lifting the Trophy (more realistic)

3. If your prestige is high enough get called to be the national coach, but stay on your team to just when a national game comes up, you do that then when it is over go back to your team.


Extra Money

1.consession stands in the stadium (little extra cash)

2. greater cash prizes from the cups/leagues won (greater reward)

3.a little bonus for each win from the sponsor or league (little more cash)

4.set actual prices for tickets in each section, the closer you get, the more money (Ex. last section= $20-$80 Mid section= $30-$100 first section= $50-$120)

5. TV Money (little extra cash)

Fans, reporters, rivals, matches, etc.

1.more interviews (shows intrest in the public) (and come up with more im tired of seeing the same ones)

2. After a player is bought, you see a photo of him wearing your club’s shirt in a newspaper or something (more realistic)

3.greater attendance at classic games or finals in a tournament. (ex. Manchester UTD V. Chelsea $$)

4. More attendance when you sign new major players (Ex. You sign C. Ronaldo, and more fans come to see him play)

5. make the success you are having affect the attendance (Ex. more wins = more attendance = more $$$)

6. Seasonal and Regional Weather (more relistic)

7. Louder crowds for more important games (more relistic)

8. have your wins / losses affect the attendance.

9. have players from other teams improve to, not just yours.

10. weeknight matches should be played at twilight/night time!

Rating System

Have a rating system 1-100

When you first start you have a rating of 50.


The unlockables would go like this, and would relock if you were to get lower than the following value on the team, and if your on a team that your not worthy of, your job security lowers and lowers.

If you get below 35 then you get game over, because no one wants to sign you.

80+ = 5* / International
75+ = 4.5*
70+ = 4*
65+ = 3.5*
60+ = 3*
55+ = 2.5*
50+ = 2*
45+ = 1.5*
40+ = 1*
35+ = .5*

Improving a team will make your rating worthy, for example if you make a 2* team a 3* then your rating will be atleast 60.


Here are some examples of how the rating varies,

Match Day

If you beat a team better than yours = +.5 for each half star greater
If you beat a team just as good as yours = +.5
If you beat a team not as good as yours = +.25
If you tie with a team better than yours = +.25 for each half star greater
If you tie with a team just as good as yours = 0
If you lose to a team that is atleast 1 star better than yours = 0
If you tie with a team not as good as yours = -.25 for each 1/2 star less
If you lose to a team that is only 1/2 star better than yours = -.25
If you lose to a team not as good as yours = -.5 for each 1/2 star less
If you lose to a team just as good as yours = -.25


End of Season

Getting a team in negative cash flow on a match day = -1 each
Team Chemistry 90%+ at end of season = +1
Meeting all Board Expectations = +1
Winning the League = Depends what league
Resigning with a club if they want you to = +.5
Job security 90%+ at end of season = +1
Fan Appreciation 90%+ at end of season = +1


Winning a tournament =

Domestic Cup / Runner Up = Depends on League
Champions League = +10
UEFA CUP = +5


Have a Chemistry System just like in Ultimate Team

but as you start winning games with the team you have, they learn to play well together and chemistry goes up. and if you change a player that was apart of your starting 11, chemistry goes down a little, unless it goes with the UT way.

sign the Manager Mode - Petition (Official)

[ToffeeBlue]

I agree with all you have said, however is anyone really going to vote against improving the game??

[GoTorontoFC]

I did. Only because I barely play Manager Mode
I have the internet... why waste such a thing on silly single-player modes. haha j/k. To each his own.
But I agree.. Improvements are always nice!

[torres91]

i play manager mode all the time and i think it should be improved.

one thing they could do to make it more realistic is to have injuries occur more often. seriously, i get like 2 injuries a season and they last about 3 games. in real life injuries are much more common.

you should also be able to actually do training!
eg. taking set pieces, playing small sided games, shooting drills, etc.

also, other teams should buy players, i've versed the same man u 5 seasons in a row!

i think everyone here has the internet, otherwise they wouldnt be on this forum I play online a small bit, used to play it a fair bit, but im sick of playing idiots on it. It is good when you get a good game but unfortunately they are few and far between. And im sure i dont need to get into why people are idiots online..... Manager mode is a great mode of play, keeps it interesting and stuff to aim for and achieve...not to mention at least you know what your gonna get from the opposition. not some idiot trying to run down the wings all the time with ronaldo or score own goals against your team on be a pro which some dude was trying to do to my team the other day (its funny seeing one team mate get tackled by everyone else on his team)

Good Point there!
I got the fifa 08 to Ps2, but now im getting Fifa 09 to Ps3, so I havent played online before, and I don´t know how fun it is. And Manager mode IS FUN, so I think it´d be really good with improvements on the mangaer mode!

[Naninho22]

if you knew what FIFA 09 was all about this year you would know that EA are working on making a sound base on their next-gen FIFA series with the main focus being on gameplay and how the game feels, then next year and the following games can add to manager mode and other things like that

[Lucky34Seattle]

Yeah from what I hear, MM is not going to be deep at all, but lets hope they at least fixed the bugs. Things I'd like to see...

*Youth/reserve teams

*Player personalities (ex. English players not wanting to play in Spain, unless a huge contract. Or a list of wants/needs maybe 10 idk say top three for a certain player are, #1 Play in home country #2 Playing time #3 Money... and so on). I think this would keep the transfers a lot more realistic.

*Editing scouted players, all but their abilities, height/weight, and position.

*For sure a stadium editor. (already started a tread about this, basically being able to create stadiums and share them online with other gamers).

*Day-by-day schedule instead of game to game, or at least during transfer season.

*Contracts for your manager and mid season firings

*Get rid of the exp thing, or at least give us an idea of how fast they will progress (ex. young stars, will have a faster exp gain than a developed player.) Or only use exp for in game traits and use training during the week for the attacking or defense groups of attributes. Maybe mini games???

*More players getting rotated within the team. Like Man U against a lower league team brings up some subs or reserves. Also keepers getting rotated in, that'd be nice, I know I only kept one keeper in MM last year.

I agree with a lot of what you already put up there, but off the top of my head this is what I have. This game would be perfect with a solid manager mode. Basically all I'm hoping for are realistic transfers and proper cpu player management this year.

[SmellyBob]

i'd like to see the ability to view the transfers made by other teams.
and to be able to leave your club during the season not at the end.
( i get bored easy)

[SuperSix88]

i rekon there should be a training thing during the week like in fight night rnd 3. you can sim or play like a mini game and you can gain exp or show to the manger who is doing well or something.

[cooler08]

-Make the season objectives more realistic, ie. when your Liverpool it should say the board expect you to finish in the Top 4 not 'avoid relegation'.

-Make it possible to buy players from rival clubs if you offer enough money.

-Have an option which allows you to edit unlicenced Tournaments to their proper names. ie, the League Cup, ECC and EFA.

-Make it so the Commentators know your playing in the Community sheild. they should talk about it being a curtain raiser for the season rather than them talking like its a 3rd round cup match like they do in Fifa 08.

-Make FA Cup matches which end in a draw goto a Replay instead of extra time/penalties.

-Have realistic prize money for winning Cups. ie 40m for winning the ECC instead of under 2m.

-Have the ECC and EFA final at a different neutral European stadium each season.

-Make it so 2 matches cannot be scheduled for the same day.

-Have an option to play pre-season friendlies.

-Have proper Cup celebrations showing your team lifting the Trophy.

-Make the ticket price effect the attendence. ie, if you set the ticket price to high your more likely to see more empty seats in the stadium.

[mascot88]

The idea of training mid week and trying out differnt formations and players sounds great...

we have to play finals at wembley obviously...

[halolma]

It should definitely have more training in it and better transfers, as half the time it just seems pointless doing them, also other teams should approach you to join their team as manager when you have won some trophies with your selected team... something in the vain of their EA MANAGER but keeping it simple.

As do I that's the mode I use the most I play a couple of exhibition/friendly matches first to get used to the controls and the way the game plays but after that I generally stick with manager mode as I find that the most satisfying way to play the game and that's the mode I have most fun with. I have played since they have added Be a Pro had a bit of fun with that from time to time but generally as I said for me the main mode is the manager mode on the PC I have had players out for longer with injuries but I haven't really had a long career on the PS3 version of 08 mainly because of the awkward controls which I am glad for 09 that they have fixed so hopefully that will make life easier for me

Not necessarily they may be accessing via work computers as before last year that's how I did I only got the internet at home about a year or so ago

Agreed.

I would say make the success you are having affect the attendance for example if you make it to the latter stages of a cup(e.g Quarter finals) or do well in the league like a top5 position would be better rather than ticket prices but they are nice iodeas though especially with the neutral stadium thing with regards the final of a cup competition but make it one of the big main stadiums like Wembley or Berlin but make it a different stadium each season I mean I got to the Champions League final twicein 2 consecutive seasons with Spurs and both were played in the same arena Olympiastadion in Berlin they have done that with previous Fifa's I remember as Fifa 06 does that

These points have been in current gen FIFAs for years, and its a shame that EA cant even put it in a next gen FIFA game?! lalala?

The other points were good too.

wow, i though i was the only one, but don't u think it would be the coolest thing ever
