Then the standard set is unrealistic. Coaches and Managers to talk to each other, and in the event of a fresh new coach learning the trade they will ask questions. I agree that if you cannot figure it own it is on your head, but asking a question should not lead to decapitation.
Yes and no. I'm sure Mr Wenger and Mr Ferguson don't share tips on players, tactics etc. That's not to say that managers don't discuss some things, for sure, just that in the absence of a reasonable simulation of this within FM, we stick to the no tipping line.
If the question he posed in T&TT was relating to training penalties (and I can't be bothered checking to see if it was) and that information isn't available either in-game (I can't see it anywhere) or in the manual (which I can't find because my room is a dump), then I'd consider that an interface issue.
In so much as if were it real life, he could simply wander out to the training ground and say something like 'I want to see you all practicing your penalties'. But I'm buggered if I'd know how to do it in-game and although I could indeed use 'trial and error', that would probably take a long time and still remain pretty unclear.
GQ might have been a better place to ask the question so as to avoid the dreaded T&TT, but considering the people who frequent GQ, they would probably have pointed him towards the other place anyway. No win.
I disagree wholeheartedly. The game is not a football training field. You can't walk out and tell the blokes to do this and that, you can only do what the game allows, and asking someone the best way to make that happen is tipping at best, cheating at worst.
OK, so what about a couple of versions back when you could in fact pick what you wanted your players to train, specifically.
You had the option then to make your players practice penalties as often as you liked.
I'm not saying that the training module isn't a whole amount better now than it was then, but what SI have done is hidden that element.
I'm not a zealot, but I can see his point. I wouldn't want to know the answer myself (partly because I don't care anyway), but as I said, I consider it an interface issue.
It's not so much the fact that he maybe did or maybe did not think the option was still there, but he went to TTT and asked a question.
Now, as we know that was a while ago, and I'm not saying he should be banished from LLM (though he's obviously decided it's not for him), but asking questions, any questions, or even visiting the TTT is not really on for a LLMer. /understatement.
I'm not debating whether going to T&TT is a good or bad thing, just that if he thought it was a reasonable question to ask, it was probably the best (most likely only) place he could ask it. (That's also probably a forum issue. :p )
I'd put money on the fact that if I (for example) asked a question about training in GQ, within the hour there would be people pointing me in the direction of the 'Tactics & Training Tips' forum.
