Football Manager 2012 New Features You Would Like to See

I love the idea of getting an interview, but to add to that - what about qualifications? At the end of the day you don't just get up one morning and "decide" to become a manager...

Afterall - you sign a contract and get eg "£10k p/w" .. what happens to that £10k?? It'd be nice to be able to spend it on things (not like Fifa Manager where you have a wife and kids and go away on a silly sailboat) like language courses, coaching badges, a house/car etc because (for example) You're the manager of an English Club and a Spanish team have just sacked their manager, you want to apply for the job, but you don't have the qualifications and you don't speak spanish, that should be a factor in whether you get the job or not as it is in real life, it shouldn't just be based on your reputation/experience.

Also (this time stealing an idea from Fifa Manager) I'd love the idea of training camps/youth camps, it'd be nice to not just to have a "transfer budjet" but a (making up a name here..) "development budget" aswell, where you can improve facilites and increase the clubs reputation!

This. I think it is a brilliant idea.

I also like the job interview which would be much more realistic. And the idea of starting off as just an Assitant Manager or a youth team manager would be a great addition. Becasue as it was stated you cant just wlk into the manegment of Man City and spen 100m with no background.
 
I'd like to see more graphical weather on 3D Mode- So you can see the sun shining in the summer or heavy rain. Also, sort out the snow, as its very difficult to see the game..

1. Be u21 and u19 Managers of youth/national teams ONLY ( not senior team and then maybe work up )

You can do that already.

- Add new manager and click national teams.
- Click on England (Do not press take control!)
- You should now be on the England squad screen , go to the Under 21's or Under 19's.
- Now take control and you'll be manager of just U'21s or U'19s , whichever you want to be.



I think you should be interviewed when you apply for a job and whoever gives the best answers gets the job.

Obviously reputation would still play a part.
 
"life of pitch"stuff like player x has shot a work experince in the leg and media have got wiff of it, player y has been caught leaving the hotel room with 65 year old escort or even player z has started a charity for kids in Africa to help develop football. Then you can praise or punish depending on situation and possible the media questioning or prasing your leadership

it would be perfect!

plus i would like to see more involvement in the financial, where i negotiate sponserships, build camps outside the country ....

and more i would like to see a page that show me the improvement of the player

Awful idea. Thats not what FM is for, if you want to buy cars, homes, accessories, "luxury", go play THE SIMS.
 
To be able to start of as a assistant manager, I think this has been mentioned before but to elaborate on it,
Take control of club reserves and also advise manager on Player selection for main team, Tactics and substitutions, recommend players to buy/sell and have your reputation based on who your manager/club is and how your advice/recommendations turn out allowing clubs to be able to approach you for managers job based on this.
 
Make the Press Conferences alot more imaginative instead of the same old questions
also
alot more interaction between managers of other clubs in the media say Man Utd and Chelsea managers doing the old slating of eachother in the media
also
Make it possible to have career ending injuries like what happens in real life ie Casiraghi Ashton Haaland?
 
have groundman as part of your staff, the better you have the better your pitch conditions. also you would be able how you want the pitch to be kept...so if your playing a team that pass it along the ground, you could let the groundman grow the grass long so its harder to pass it. or really well kept, flat, short grass if you like to pass it around etc...
 
At the end of a season, and your club is a game away from winning the title, you more often than not get a message about one of your players 'rallying' the team. In FM12, I'd like an addition to the Interactions section: Team/Group meeting - Team meeting will involve the whole team, every single player, where you can rally them, kick them up the ****, praise them etc. Group meeting will involve a selected amount of players, maybe 5 or 6, to tell them they played well in the last game, or they disappointed or whatever.

I like the idea about being interviewed.

ALso, maybe being able, when unemployed, to take an assisant manager role to gain reputation. - able to suggest tactics signings etc. / more emphasis on doing the training / preparing the team / watching other game to scout / working with reserves and youth etcc....

1. Fix the way the offside rule works in gameplay, it really ****** me off!!!
2. Have more questions in the press conferences to make it less repetitive
3. Give managers the choice to invest their hard earned cash into a club
4. Be able to compare staff just like you can compare players....

Other than these points i think FM11 is poyfect!!! :D
 
What i would like to see in 3D engine is, get rid of some players and officials doing the moon walk, get rid of refs gear colour clashes with some teams, have an option to view the offside calls with on off option, throw ins sometimes take to long, the goalkeeper takes a long time to kick the ball and also stop keeper taking free kicks from near half the pitch, stop the rain when it's sunny,
 
More realistic celebrations. If it's a huge goal in extra time, or just an amazing goal to begin with, SI could introduce things like the goalkeeper running the length of the pitch (i.e. Reina), or the bench running onto the field to celebrate.

I also like the idea of being able to takeover as an existing manager. That way if I wanted to manage, say, Real, I wouldn't have to create an unrealistic profile as Joe Schmo and instead I could be the bus-parking-one.

Last but certainly not least, a more realistic transfer market. In FM11 as Liverpool, I've got a ton of great first teamers and youth, but the Real's and the City's of the world rarely ever bid. It seems like I'm the only team that's really interested in improving each season. Also a manager's attributes should be a bit more important, for instance Guardiola has excellent attributes, but Barca have been on a downward spiral in my save since the first season. They aren't the force in game that they are in real life.
 
Have a son in your academy like FIFA Manager. And to be able to do something with my £10m career earnings :P
 
I would like to see more player roles like:

- Libero for DMC position (Think Sergio Busquets)
-A Complete Winger Role (Think the type of wingers the German NT play: They defend with high work rate like defensive wingers, they have the technique of a midfielder , and they have the finishing ability of a striker, while still being traditional wingers, although it would be pretty hard to set up)
-A false 10 Role for AMC ( Think Wesley Sneijder at 2010 WC) Which could coordinate with a false 9 role for ST (Like the stopper cover system for defenders
