Football Manager 2020: 10 Essential Fan Demands It Must Include

10. A More Hands-On Training Approach

Since the franchise first began, the training side of Football Manager has been a little bit of an underplayed, undervalued slice of the overall FM pie.

If we’re being perfectly honest, do any of us really know what we’re doing with our training schedules? Sure, we may select a few variables for our training sessions, but then it’s a case of handing things over to our coaching staff to deal with while we plot how to put a stop to Brentford’s flawless passing game.

Whether it’s in a 3D environment or not, it would good to be able to actually see those training sessions play out. It’s one thing to take your assistant manager’s word that Jesse Lingard trained poorly after overdoing it on VK Orange the night before, but it’s an entirely different thing to get to see these poor performances play out before your own eyes.

Added to this, being able to fully keep a watch over training routines could allow managers to see just how well players are reacting to each tailormade schedule, to each encouragement to use their left foot, to each instruction to try more 30-yard screamers, and to each instruction to “go in ‘ard”.
