Football Manager 2012 New Features You Would Like to See

How about you actually see the subs? and they react in different ways. For example ballotelli getting taken off for acting stupid will throw his hands in the air whereas someone who has played really well for a standing ovation claps hands in the air and sorts. Good idea anyone?

Your board/fans will have more confidence in a manage who was an international footballer than a semi-professional, and your players will listen to you more if you have more experience.
 
1.More goals... its all well and good setting a season goal ie winning league or staying up but how about the chairman gives other goals to do like.. reduce wage bill or bring in some future talent

for example Newcastles goals will probally be sell all your best players and so Ashley can pocket the money

2. More control over behind the scenes

3. More control of train facilities .. like what does facilities you actually have... maybe even get involved in using new developments

4. More play feedback ... dont like the formation or style

5. captain feedback... inputs from the captain .. problems team has with you or the board

6. Contracts.... allow other incentives like in old games .. houses or cars or kit deals
 
1) The ability to create custom players in the editor and use them in a non-real player generated game.
2) Some players wishing to return to play for a team in their home country/favourite club in the latter stage of their career i.e. Ronaldinho - Flamengo but can still be tempted elsewhere by a good offer.
3) To be able to build youth academies in various countries.
4) More influence from weather conditions i.e. postponements due to frozen pitch or match abandoned due to torrential rain/high winds etc.
5) New prefered move "mad *******".
6) Agents actively seeking clubs for their transfer listed players.
7) Feeder teams asking to be loaned specific players.
8) Occasional crowd trouble would be funny resulting in fines/bans for clubs.
9) Players who have been unattached for over 6 months agree to join teams of a lower reputation than they normally would on short term deals to remain active in the game.
10) More hype/drama created by the press before & after rival/potential league deciders i.e. old firm media frenzy.
11) More hype from the media regarding summer signings and how they might improve/shatter pre-season expectations.

as already mentioned - TESTIMONIALS + the option to offer a player on loan as part of a transfer deal.

im tired of people not coming to my team because we are rivals. not even fierce rivals. im levrekusen, won first division twice in a row, champions league and any trophie you can think of, dortmunt are sixth or seventh every season, but still none of the players will enter nigotiations with my club, while bayern players are more than happy to come to my team. wtf!!!!
 
A checkbox so the new signings for all teams at start of game have not yet gone into effect and the ability to stop the deals. Specially the ins. So in some teams I don't have to swallow bad new signings the whole first half of season or more, eating wages. It's kind of something sometimes I'd like to be able to do. And when I take a team that has new manager, be considered to be replacing the previous rather than the new being one second in charge.
 
I like the ideas of goals, fans at some clubs and board members sometimes want a signing, or a player to be sold, or a reputation rise, the game doesn't really do this. I also think that players should occasionally come back to their first club or retire to the mls like in real life.
 
Repair Uruguayan league. Now it's ****** up - as there are two stages (opening and closing), it shows in your profile you have won it twice (e.g. you win both stages in season 2011-12 and in your biography it says you have won in 2011 and 2012). BUT! Rules of Uruguayan league say "After 1994, the competition was divided in two stages, called the Opening Championship (Torneo Apertura) and Closing Championship (Torneo Clausura), with an end-of-season two-legged final match between the winners of these two tournaments." So if you win both of the tournaments, you are Uruguayan champion of season 2011-12. It does now show in your profile as champion of season 2011-12 and it does not count to the Hall of fame as domestic title (that cost me 60 points in the HOF :X)

I'd also like to see improved interactions with players and media and interactions with staff. (Including talking to player e.g. about transfer speculation or why you have rejected an offer for him.)
+Also improve interactions with MANAGERS, so you can comment on previous match, their playing style in last match (one time I played against team with 5 players in defender line and 4 players in DM/WB line - so after the match I could comment on manager critisizing his defensive approach) etc.

---

I'd also like the option to add a small note to a view in tactics (so I could have name, picked status, position, morale etc. and the small note).

---

Also, occassionally a player could state a desire to move to his native country / favorite club at the end of his carreer, even playing for a lower wage (e.g. Forlan could move to Uruguay etc.) :P

improve contract negotiations.. like have an option to 'sell' your club to a player and state your ambitions for the club and how they would fit in. similar to what gus poyet did to persuade mackail smith to go to brighton instead of west ham
 
What I'd quite like is a replacement for the rather dull "Saturday's/Sunday's Premier League Round-Up" news pieces.
Rather than just being told the attendances and who scored a "landmark goal", in a couple of matches, I wouldn't mind more of a summary of each match.

So, as well as the scoreline, it tells you some of the important stats for each match - one of the teams only won 30% of their tackles, one side won 75% of their headers, one team gave the ball away 8 times in their own third. Just some of the important stats from each of the matches, along with the best goal, best/worst players etc.
I don't know if anyone here has played a Madden NFL game but like the Extra Point in that.
 
what i would like to see is more shooting inside the pen box not mostly outside the box
 
In the training screen of a player profile, at the training loads, the option for a slider to lessen the overall load for the player without actually affecting the training schedule he's into. When in backroom advice says "player X has too high load, should be lowered" I can lower the player's without having to either decrease everybody's in that category or creating a new schedule and potentially clogging the list of schedules. Though I guess it's not as bad as to this being a strong want.

In fact, it would suffice making the go to training button send you to the player's training section rather than the team's, as it would be more comfortable to change it from his profile rather than the team screen.
 
I'd like a more complex administration of the club, more complexity in the finances, and the chance to actually choose the upgrades you want for the stadium, etc etc. Basically, just more complex club administration.
 
It would be nice if the players that came to the club this transfer period, wouldn't be in the club from the start, but from the day they signed IRL.
Because some teams play 5-6 games without certain players and they come to the club later.
 
Don't Know If This Has Already Been Said But Being Able To Do Training SEssions And Set Up A Training Programm And Being Able To Watch Them Train To See If They Agre Good Enough For Your Squad.
 
I'd like to see different sound for different clubs, incorporating 4 or 5 different chants from each club that would be played regarding on the match situation, i.e. if a team has just scored the volume increases from its fans. Also give the user a chance to edit what chants are used if they have an mp3 or wav of a chant they want.

Would love if "training view" was an option for a background. That way I could see my players go through drills or scrimmage while I fiddle farted with whatever I do between matches
 
hopefully the rigid Player Position system of past games gets scrapped soon, replaced by something similar to the percentage rating you get in the FM Scout utility. we always see players used "out of position", such as wingers used on the opposite flank, and Mascherano has been used as a CB for Barca in the last year. then there are young players who change positions, such as Ashley Cole who was a Striker/Winger originally. so where and the way they play becomes closer linked to their actual stats, as opposed to pre-determined positions.
