Hi there!
Here’s my strategy for Shouts during the game. Remember that shouts are applied before or after a highlight; this is by design from Sports Interactive. If you give a shout during the highlight and need to cancel it, pause the match, open the tactics tab, and hit “Cancel” in the bottom right corner.
In general, “Encourage” and “Praise” work best when players are being successful; if not, they may become frustrated. “Calm Down” and “No Pressure” seek to relax the players but, in some situations, can burden them with additional pressure. “Fire Up,” “Focus,” and “Demand More” increase each player’s individual and collective focus and motivation if successful. If not, they’ll lose focus and become demotivated. Success here depends on your personal attribute motivation, team and player’s morale, player’s body language, and their personalities, as well as what happens during the game.
Shouts didn’t receive an overhaul from Football Manager 2022 and are working kind of the same. This year, I would suggest being more minimal and trying not to overuse them. So, let’s dive in:
Draw: Encourage
Win: Calm Down (after you scored the first goal, like 1–0)
Win: Praise (2+ goal difference)
Loss: Berate (2+ goal difference)
Remember: Talking to players (as a team and individually) increases your determination and motivating attributes. The higher your motivating attribute as a manager, the more chance you have to influence players with low-quality personalities.
Thank you!
