How To: Give Substitutes Team-Talks

Team Talks for Substitutes

Every year sites on the scene get the obligatory “What you want for the next version of FM” threads, and every year since the introduction of the half time team talks there have been calls for this feature to be implemented for substitutes. What would you say if I was to tell you this already exists? It’s a feature that I don’t think many people have found yet, and I have to admit it’s quite well hidden which definitely needs to change in future versions. I hope this will get it a bit more publicity anyway as it’s a key feature in my opinion. How many people select “None” as a half time team talk? This is effectively what you’re doing every time you make a substitution in the default “Tactics” window.

How do you do it?

It’s simple, on the match screen click “Touchline Instructions – Shortcuts – Make Quick Substitution”. You then have the normal options of what to say, such as “Tell *player* you expect a performance from him today”. Also shown on the screen, seen below, are the all important stats you need to know when making a substitution. Position, Rating and Fitness.
