Before I get into what I think is a huge fundamental problem of the game, let me quickly describe how I play it. I enjoy starting unemployed, getting picked up a lower level team, and changing teams as quickly as possible until I get somewhere big. So I generally tend to last 1-2 seasons per team, get quick success, and shamefully transfer elsewhere until I hopefully land a big league big team.
The issue I have with FM is its ranking of what "experience" you have- the options being Automatic, Sunday League, Semi-Pro, Professional etc. Unless I am mistaken, depending on which you pick, you change the game entirely.
It seems the game believes you are utterly incapable of coaching players that are above your experience. I am playing Semi Pro and had huge success with Livorno and Levante. Now I'm at Valencia, and the Assistant Manager keeps telling me that my players cannot motivate themselves to play for me. My results are just a tad subpar, and no matter what I do I can't change it. I've hit this ceiling a few times, but I don't know what to do with it. The players just underperform and never kick into high gear because you're "Semi-Pro"
Meanwhile, if you pick International Footballer, every player listens to you and you get hired by everyone. I started with Blackburn Rovers and got hired by Bayern the next season. Much too easy.
Is there any way around this? Is my diagnostic incorrect? Is there a way of getting players to perform despite having low experience?
Would love to hear answers.
