FM2015 Features - Touchline Team Talks in Football Manager 2015

Football Manager 2015 introduces brand new touchline team talks. Whether you’ve been at the big game or sitting at home watching it on the telly your bound to have noticed the managers pacing up and down the touchline barking instructions at their players. Of course touchline shouts were introduced in FM2012, allowing you to give tactical instructions to your players from the touchline, so what’s new? Well FM2015 has taken things a step further with all new touchline team talks. Of course you can’t stop the game and bring your players inside the dressing room for a proper talk like you can at half time, but in FM2015 you’ll be able to issue more than just tactical instructions, you’ll now be able to give out praise, criticism and encouragement from the touchline to individual players or the team as a whole. The options are essentially the same as what you have available to you during pre-match, halftime and post-match team talks.

Here’s a quick rundown of what you’ll be able to say to your players from the touchline, as always each message can be said in an assertive, aggressive, cautious, reluctant or calm manner.

Encourage
Calm Down
Get Creative
Concentrate
Show Some Passion
There’s No Pressure on you
Tighten Up
Push Forward
I Demand More From You

Your players will then react in much the same way as with pre-match, halftime and post-match team talks, some will be encouraged or motivated, some may be disheartened by your comments and others will ignore you altogether. How they react will depend upon their own personality as well as their relationship with you the manager, so the introduction of touchline team talks adds yet another way for you to interact with your players and your own personality and personal relationship with your players will have more of an impact than ever in Football Manager 2015, for more on this check out our other FM2015 Feature Preview on the Managerial Style options.
