Are players less easy to appease in this year's game when talking to them or am I imagining it? Could be because I'm not high profile yet and/or because I still have high player turnover so they don't build up respect for me but still, seems harder overall.
Just into the 4th season, all meetings about playing time have been unsuccessful so far. "Blah blah is in the form of his life" used to work for me, not in this game. I think there used to be a "be patient" option that I'm just not seeing too.
Players wanting to leave when I reject a bid seem to be harder too. "I don't think you'll get the playing time you want" used to work for me often, not now. Agreeing to sell for a specific price is working but then I still have to fulfill that promise or I have an angry player on my hands. "Will sell you when we find a replacement" seems to be working for now too but I don't know what happens if I fail to find a replacement, I'm not even trying to find a replacement for the player I said that to this window.
Only had one player saying he wants to play for a bigger club so far with no actual transfer bid coming in, he just wanted to go because he was wanted. I did the old "there has been no bid yet, no point talking about it now" thing, and again that used to work for me often but he wasn't having it.
