Nice idea worth expanding- I am not sure that it needs to be applied to all players but there is no doubt that ceratin players will react very positively to specific individual targets.

its a nice idea, but shouldnt the players go out and play for the jersey anyway. they shouldnt need to be payed more as many are paid too much anyways.

I seem to remember this being mooted for a previous version. I even remember seeing a screenshot (mocked up or otherwise, I can't remember,) for players target of 20 goals a season. Can't remember which version though - it might even be as far back as CM4.

I remember that Harry Redknapp set Yakubu a target of 20 goals. On the last day of the season he scored four goals to take his total to 19. I've never seen anyone so gutted at spurning a chance for a fifth!

This could also apply to contract renewals. Kanu and Primus both have to play a certain number of games to get another year on their contract - I don't think either will make it.

why not put some pressure on a player. it could be a part of player interatcion and that's a feature that should be improved in next release. well one of many

That should be part of the feature IMO. If you set a certain target for a player, he might think that target was unneccesary, so react negatively to it.

At the moment I have far more interest in the game play being improved then seeing more features added.
My second priority is to see current features improved.
New features seem to take a few generations to "get right." Team-talks and media/player interaction still have a ways to go.

even I absolutly agree with you, but isn't that sad?

Sad, but absolutely true. So much needs to improve before giving too much credence to new features. As others have said, it takes a while to get new features right, so focus on what's already there first!

How far do you take it though?
Does it impact on player morale?

If he is injured for part of the season and doesnt score 20 goals is he deeply upset?

If you already have the league wrapped up adn rest your star so he is fit for champions league games does he request a transfer?

If you substitute him on the last league game of the season and he is on 19 goals does he go on strike?
