Part 2...
During your season other mangers will not be as lucky as you and will have their jobs on the line and this can really affect your Loyalty Rating if you declare yourself interested in taking over another club in a negative way. If you just ignore the option to declare your interest your rating will rise slightly.
I am not sure if it is the same when it comes to the position of managing an International team as you can do both jobs at once in FM.
I have followed this game on not making very many pre-match and after match statements unless they have been against rival teams and have no declare interest in any other jobs.
What I have noticed is that since I changed my formation from my 4-4-2 into 4-5-1 my Ambition has lowered itself down to 7 now. Is this linked to the fact I am playing a more defensive style and not really pushing my team at half time and team talks and tempo of play are reduced slightly due to numerous of injuries? This is something to keep in mind!!
Responding to other managerial comments is always a funny game but to increase or decrease your stats you must think and decide wisely. When another manager praises you then it is ok to praise back to a certain extent! You will have to decide whether your players will approve of you giving praise to another manager and weight this up with the fact of is it wroth increasing your stats or keeping your players hungry to win . Always a hard decision!
In my various times I have had this occur it is best to approve of the manager who has praised you and the majority of players on your team will say something along the lines of “glad to see you are diverting attention away from your team!”
Ability to handle pressure stats can drop and rise very quickly and mostly rise in what answers you give to a top manager slating you. If you respond with a hugely negative comment towards him you will see this fly upwards and if you have 2-3 hard games in a row this is good for your stats. Beware if you lose one of these games your players will react slightly badly with their confidence.
One stat I haven’t worked out on what causes it to rise and fall is Ambition. I did believe this was down to whom you signed and what you won but in FM you can’t say that you want to win certain things. The only thing I can attach this to is when you respond certain ways to other comments and getting to the comments first with every game. But this is untried theory!
Ambition is always a hard stat to improve on but I have also found that if you win a huge game against a rival team and then you make a very big negative comment towards them after the match your ambition will rise and your players will be happier that you have diverted attention from them and will play with less pressure. |
